Today, for a brief second, I thought of a life without Roger. It was much like my current life, except that this forum was a bit nicer.

QuoteWe are at a crossroads in the history of the Holocaust. As the last survivors perish, we are losing a direct link to their witnessing of the horror, the miracles, the fear, the death, the stories of endurance and of moments of incredible humanity. We must and will continue to tell their stories.

But we want to be sure we are passing on more than trauma, coping mechanisms, and numbers. Including Harry Potter in the Holocaust literature canon seems like a thoughtful choice that can aid in purposes as diverse as the readers who engage with the texts, and which helps us think about the survivors who are no longer with us.

Life can be seen as a game with no reset button, no extra lives, and if the power goes out there is no restarting.  If that's all you see life as you are not long for this world, and never will get it.

I am the result of 13.75 ± 0.13 billion years of random chance. Now that I exist I see no reason to start planning and organizing everything in my life.

Random dumb luck got me here, random dumb luck will get me to where I'm going.

Hail Eris!

Made this as a prototype for the image as meme-basis.
Want to stick to factual and verifiable quotes and data, but juxtaposed to display the very real and not at all funny absurdity. It's a joke, but if someone laughs I'd punch them.

ETA: would appreciate analysis and input on methodology. I want every last corpse squarely in his lap and rotting.

Don't say "approximately".  It means "not really".

Put in five digits of precision, even though you know the numbers aren't exact; it makes it feel more true.  ( My source says 72,271 as of yesterday).  And use a consistent date format.

Putting that together, for the lower section, I suggest:

"May 6: 72,271 confirmed covid-19 deaths in U.S."

I like that. If someone quibbles about the PRECISE number it will at best make them look like a nit-picker and provoke folks to confirm the data's essential accuracy. At worst it does the essence of the message no harm whatsoever.

Thank you CNO.  :cheers:

So... I have received baseless accusations that I may have been somehow allegedly involved with the creation of certain memes. I have collected the memes in question and present them here along with the so-called "blank" image they are said to be derived from. They are for informational purposes only and definitely not for shenanigans of any sort. :fnord:
