What city are you close to? Can you look for work in Columbus? It’s much more liberal and there are more people who are like minded. You might feel safer being yourself, while still being close to home. It would be a smaller move, if you have to move.

If you have the ability to, please seek help from a professional. It sounds like you are really struggling. Once you are in a better place mentally it will be easier to tackle these life things you don’t have the motivation to do. You have been surviving so far, following what was expected of you. Now that there isn’t a definite next step it’s harder. I would recommend putting whatever energy you have into finding a therapist.

You can do this! You have reached out for help already, which is really hard. Honestly you are amazing to have survived with who you are intact. I can’t imagine the strength it would take to live with people who believe you should be killed. To constantly be afraid of being found and hurt. You grew up being enemy lines when it should have been a safe haven.

I could set the building on fire…

I raise you The Holy Grail.

The main issue with any computer is that they can’t adapt to new situations. We can infer and work through new problems. The more variables the more “new” problems. The problem with biology is there isn’t really any hard set rules, there are almost always exceptions. The amount of functional memory and computing power is ridiculous for a computer. Driving works mostly because there are straightforward rules.

Tin foil is excellent for cooking. It works more as an oven and just add water and it is a steamer.

No, they must live there.

That is correct. :)

Birds have very delicate air sacs. For small birds like that constricting them can seriously damage them and cause issues breathing.

Dude no! Like a 15 minute time out is ok. But if they ask for water they should be given it. Locked away alone in a room without supervision for hours? No. That is not normal. At all.

How hard is it to not serve something that won’t produce 3rd degree burns. I mean come on, really?

You wrote “couldn’t load a gun if you handed them one”. That implies liberals don’t own guns. So the inverse is conservatives own guns.

Unless you mean even if they own a gun they still don’t know how to load it?

You really think conservatives are the only ones who own guns? Really?

Talk to my therapist and try to do something that helps people or animals.

Who the fuck is passion?

Honestly the best thing is to learn how to fall without getting hurt. And how to bail safely if you lose control of the horse. That’s some of the first things you should have been taught when you were learning to ride.

Best thing to do when falling is tuck and roll. Keep limbs from getting stepped on, get away from the horse, and prevent a hard landing.

If grown as a crop I can see that. But taking from forests changes the forest permanently. I see your point, I guess I’m taking issue with what I associate with a renewable resource when talking about energy. That is is “green” and not bad for the environment.

Saying trees are carbon capures so its carbon neutral just seems crazy to me. Burning wood emits more carbon dioxide than coal for every unit of electricity produced. The older the tree the more carbon it can store, which is in its wood. Mature as in 35-75 years. Cutting down mature trees out of forests and planting new ones isn’t carbon neutral. But I can see an argument for planting tree plots in already cleared land to get a system set up for rotations.

WTF?! They burn wood pellets? Seriously? How is that even vaguely a renewable resource?
