disclaimer this is from circa 2020 but feels relevant to the people dancing to mariachi getting tear gassed today

      Eh, we’ll figure it out somehow!:)) If not, at least I doubt anyone around here would mind if I were to… procure the books through other means:"

          Hmm, fair point:-? I think you had it the first time, a trebuchet would cover the distance if the payload weighs as much as a book:-? Just have to make it aerodynamic!

            (alarms blaring)

            Sir, two icbm’s have been stolen.

            oh my god. This could be world war thr-

            no, no sir. Just the missiles. They left the warheads right over there.

            I… Well, have we found them?

            yes sir. They stopped briefly at the local library, found it was closed, and are frying to launch from the parking lot behind a used book store. Our guys can’t figure out what to do.

              Now this is an elevator pitch I’d turn into a two-parter! Y’know? Add lotsa’ drama, the premise is thus, yes, but imagine the people who would do that, how much there’d be to dig and explore there!

              Oh, and it’s all played cheerful and upbeat! Heartbreaking moments, juuust heartbreaking! But leaves you with a warm smile and love for humanity at the end!

                  …what? No! How… why… what?!=)))))

                  C’moon, you were supposed to be the main character! Like, obviously!=))) The public doesn’t want to see someone unboxing the gift, they wanna know who sent it, why, and how it got there!

                  Dammit, I’m having flashbacks to the first time someone asked me if I’d still love them were they a worm, the deer in the headlights is strong with me=)))

                    if i were a worm

                    Oh if somebody answered this without showing their work, it would be over. It’s like the ‘what even is reincarnation’ question.

                    main character

                    Clearly not.
