Uranium 🟩

A literal caltrop

I kind of agree with other person who said it’s basically just antidepressants… though I’ve shyed away from the one that made me deeply content (yet somewhat dysfunctional) in exchange for one that leaves me more functional in exchange for a bit more (healthy) strife.

I’d be quite curious of a world where everyone is on universally functioning antidepressants.

Is this society a functioning dystopia or a dysfunctional utopia?

Also OP have you ever played the video game ‘We Happy Few’, a key feature of the world is that everyone takes a mild psychedelic called Joy to stop them from remembering the past.

Another story that I seem to recall using a similar plot point is Brave New World and their drug Soma (IIRC)

Pro tip, if the joints on them are starting to not hold together of their own accord and you don’t want them to fall apart: use zip ties on the edges/corners to reinforce them.

Grossly gilded gorilla grapple?

If you don’t mind my asking, what communities?

I’ve slowly been finding even some of the more niche interests of mine that weren’t here when I first joined have slowly been appearing

Quite literally self ‘Annihilation’, I think the shimmer itself is more analogous to cancer (continuously expanding, with random distorted outcomes, most of which are agressive towards anything untainted by the shimmer), but fundamentally each of the characters are there for their own different reasons for self-destruction with the hopes that it benefits others, as they effectively know it’s a suicide mission).

The bit that I cannot recall if it was explained is why did the special ops guy go if he had a loving wife at home; what was his reason for self destruction?

I can certainly see there being a habit aspect to it, and once it’s tidy as you say it’s a minute or two to keep it that way.

Do you have different floors to your house?

I could see it helping with the ground floor but still neglecting the bedroom level, etc

What app are you using friend?

I’m currently using liftoff and every link is working correctly, many apps have had issues with how link handling works, so I was pleasantly surprised to see it working in today’s update

Posting the link to the community in a different format as for some reason it’s not coming up when I search for it

Honestly, a friend told me a wonderful idea, which just makes me more disappointed in our governments lack of any real foresight:

They could’ve put a cycle path/walking path beside the HS2 rail line, would’ve been pretty darn useful for travelling large distances on bike. Even could’ve had camping grounds and analogues to motorway services at points along the route…

Canals are kind of a useful aspect for travelling around the country on bike as you can basically cover most of the country, but they aren’t wide enough/maintained enough to be truly viable.
