Goddamnit, why do the nasty predictions for the future have to arrive early while the nice ones are always late?

Because everything powered by greed gets fast lane access.

Salvation is always just around the corner, but we are walking around a rotating platform struggling to even just keep the corner in sight.

[moocowduckquack]

Alongside the platform is a railway tunnel. If you walk down it to the left you will find a bundle of disconnected wiring and a sign reading; "We are sorry to announce that due to unforseen circumstances and the state of the economy, the light at the end of the tunnel has now been switched off". If you were to walk in the other direction however there is brilliant illumination, but that is just the lights of an oncoming train.

You take the left path.

Your inventory contains: flashlight with unknown amount of battery power, shovel, binoculars, old brass ring, matchbox, notebook, pencil.

1. Inspect the wiring.

2. Continue in the dark.

3. Turn back.

Salvation is easy. All you have to do is decide that "good" > "bad". The perverse attraction to misery and toil I observe in people, in this fucking thread, that's what pisses me off. What's with this idolatry?
