My mother (when she had a brain) fancied herself as a Medium.
Storytime:
My grandparents house was very old and creepy, when I was a kid it was scaring walking around it. My mom told us about her childhood in the house where they saw ghosts and oddities all the time.
A couple of incidents she related:
Her bedroom was a hive of activity of a poltergeist nature...the family would be downstairs and they'd be hearing the furniture moving around up in her room, upon inspecting the bed, drawers, wardrobe etc would be moved/on it's side/thrown around the room...this was apparently a regular thing.
Another one she claimed was six ghostly pallbearers in old 18th/19th century clothing would enter through one wall, walk across the room and exit through the other wall position as if carrying a coffin but not ghostly coffin was present.
When my grandparents moved out of that house and moved in with us (because they were too old and fucked up to look after themselves) my mom and her friends held a seance in the empty house...naturally me and my brother showed up with chains and making "woooo!" noises through the letterbox but they soon chased us off.
Anyway they put a cassette recorder in one of the "active" rooms and left it there for a couple of hours..while they did their "thing" in another room..not much happened apparently but when they listened to the tape a piano could be heard playing and children singing.
...as a side note to this when I was a young fella me lad my mom said "I had the gift" because I take after my moms side. About age 7 we moved into an equally creepy house and I got the scary room as my bedroom. for about a year or more I would suffer terrible nightmares and wake up screaming in the night and when my mom asked me what I saw/dreamed I'd tell her there was a boy hanging from a hook on the back of my bedroom door who would talk shit to me.
I didn't think anything of that for years until many years later when I was in my 40s (and again while she still had a brain) I said "do you remember those bad dreams I used to get as a kid"...she replied (first time me hearing it!)
"I know...me and your dad was really scared at the time, the previous owner of the house was an old woman and she used to do illegal abortions in your bedroom so we were thinking you were connecting with some of the dead spirits"
Wow thanks mom and dad, give me the gateway to hell room and then wonder why I wet the bed.
ETA: the grand parents house is also where an incident with me "allegedly" occurred..when I was a baby I was in my pram in the back room and a globe of ball lightening came through the window (melting a hole), went to my pram and rotated around the handle several times and then shot across the room into a wall outlet and exploded.

I remember reading about a Fred West (An English serial killer who buried the bodies in his house under concrete slabs or in the garden etc).
When they were demolishing the house a couple of workmen found the body of a woman behind the fireplace...1st one said "I wonder who she was", the other said "probably an old flame"

I guess I wouldn't have a problem dating ugly bitches no more.
But seriously I have a 9mm so would probably use it (assuming I still had enough sight to accurately shoot myself in the head..a near miss would just result in making me rere...moreso than already).

You've got to be pretty re-re to believe global warming can be stopped or reversed at this point...China/India/Russia..and the US are NOT going to stop burning fossil fuels anytime in the next 50yrs.
It is what it is at this point.
All the carbon credits in the world isn't going to stop the enviable.

Good luck, Remember if a pedestrian has even 1 foot on the road you have to stop for them...that happened on my test back in England...some old duffer one step on the road one on the pavement...I stopped, the traffic behind started honking...but I passed and the examiner even commented on my confidence in stopping like that with a ton of traffic behind me.
...also wear tight pants that show off your bulge.

Life will flourish without humans...just as it did before humans were around. The warming of the Earth is good for life as a whole...just not for humans.
It's reasonable that we all perish due to the fact we only destroy rather than contribute to the balance of life on Earth.

Tanks and trenches are not much use in urban settings dude...most of the fighting is in urban settings.
