Begin with what you know for sure.

Some day each of us will no longer exist, as each of us now exists.

Can you make this statement of what you know for sure true, false, or a joke?

Unfortunately, I can still only resort to replacing an 'N' for the 'L' within your name.

I think he's axing you if we should actively seek out dangers with which we might make ourselves stronger by surviving.

I'm reminded of the swedish approach to the covid outbreak a couple years ago. They were into the 'herd immunity' thing where nobody gets vaxxed and they just offer up their weakest members to the virus. A dialogue between two swedes, whom we shall name Harry and Margaret (because I'd have to Google swedish names), might look like this.

Harry: look at the little American weaklings lining up to get the vaccine! By the gods are there no real men left in the western world?

Margaret: Harry, your uncle Marvin just died from the virus like two days ago. Have you forgotten already?

Harry: Marvin died a man, accepting of his fate, ordained by the gods. He has a place in Valhalla now. Quiet now, woman! You know nothing of what it means to be noble.

Margaret: oh there you go again with that hyper-masculinity stuff. Look, can't you just play football or buy a big four wheel drive truck or something? The warrior ethos is cute, Harry, but really, you'd still be my sexy blonde beast even if you got the vaccine, you know.

[Harry blushes and begins to pace]

Margaret: come now, darling. The meatballs are ready. We'll have a nice meal and talk about this again in the morning.

Harry: oh Margaret, my love. It is but for your bosom that my life has any meaning at all. Perhaps I should get the vaccine. I shall think on it, Thor be damned.

My sincerest apologies.
I just think it deserves to be here, since others are posting u-tubes. :D

That brings to mind an old Wizard of Id comic strip.

The Royal Knight formally announces to the king that Sir Hillary has climbed the highest mountain.
The King asks Sir Hillary why he did that.
Sir Hillary says, because it was there.
The King advises: Don’t go to the beach.

Two insane blokes are sick of being locked up in the insane asylum and decide to escape one night.

They manage to get on the roof of the 3 storey building and need to get to the other building, but it was 50 metres away.

One of the men says it's ok, I got a torch, you can cross by walking along the beam of light.

The other bloke says, hey you think I'm crazy? You'll probably turn the torch off when I am half way across.

Yeah I got a joke for ya.

I wuz quoted around $600 for the following three items:

Sell and mount rear tire (Michelin Pilot CT-2)

Flush and fill radiator

Install air filter (that I would provide)

In addition to marking the tire up at least $50 dollars to $175 (I see it online for $125 all day), he claimed these items would take three hours in labor. Oh reeely? Tire mount might take 30 minutes, radiator flush 45 at most, and the air filter installation all of 5 minutes, because the tank and fairing is already out of the way for the radiator flush.

In reality, this work might take an hour and a half for an experienced mechanic, and materials (tire and fluid) $175 at most... bringing the total to around $325 if he paid his mechanic $100 per hour.

Here's my problem. I go to google maps to drop a review and I see the guy's got five stars and a whole page of nuthin but praise from other customers. It's like a fuckin wank fest of motorcycle enthusiasts. 'gosh this guy is so great' and 'excellent service' and 'very affordable' yada yada yada. So now I feel bad and don't wanna call em out in front of all his customers, ya know? But the guy's a big fat liar. What the fuck am I supposed to do? Give em all a lecture on the woes of capitalism and how they're all getting greased by this numbnutts?
