You can probably find a Canadian escort who uses that name.

I think being unable to look beyond human experience to find interest is like being unable to look beyond your own race to find interest. Like your entire paradigm is just limited and bland.

As if bald ass apes are more interesting

Frownland 12-01-2019 06:31 PM

It's not as different from being a regular ass ape as they make it out imo.

When you consider that they're not lizards but a descendant of reptiles that is related to birds then ****ing yes. The dynamic history of evolution is mindboggling.

But on a pure level, holy **** ****ing god they're an entire race of dragons of all shapes and sizes that were you able to see them irl would be among the most preposterous, amazing things it would be possible to see. I imagine that extinction events probably destroy the megafauna first and leave the smaller animals alive. Dinosaurs existed for well over a hundred million years and survived two extinction events before finally dying out. Then mammals evolved to holy **** **** levels before, what, one or two extinction level events happened that destroyed much of the biodiversity on the planet and we're kind of living in the early stages of the planet rebuilding our crazy ****ing megafauna? I suspect that if you gave the planet ten million years we'd have yet another set of animals that would put our current set to shame as far as being really ****ing cool.

Yes there ****ing are. Have you seen cheetahs and wolves and great white sharks? Imagining that my species is having such an experience with consciousness while they exist and that my species' history with consciousness is related to their evolution is a ****ing trip.

But hey the Clash exist now so clearly nothing else matters. Just like Metallica says.

I used to be a cheetah guy but now snow leopards are my jam

Which ties into my larger point that nuclear power is currently our most environmentally viable source of energy that Germany is foolish for abandoning.

There are absolutely people who would fight you over saying this. I personally kind of want to take a shot at you for saying this. You simply have no imagination.

I don't know why are we exactly talking about cats but I go with the smaller ones, lynx or cougar. More specifically Iberian lynx and Florida panther.
