I used to want to have my corpse frozen, then loaded into the pilot seat of a fake alien landing shuttle, complete with a computer system and books written in “alien language” that’s really just complicated code version of my will, and pushed off a transport plane to fall somewhere such as Antarctica or Greenland, to be covered with snow and ice for decades before someone randomly found it. Absolute win for conspiracy shit, and would be fun to be a random surprise like that.

I no longer have this plan because 1. I can’t afford it and 2. We don’t really get significant new ice anymore. We just lose old ice.

I’m super curious what keyword would have helped here?

48 million is honestly such a pathetically small number for the obscene wealth that’s going to be present… that’s like .00001% of the net worth of the attendees (guesstimate). Fucking pathetic to bend over for that.

Certainly not the point, just, like, a thing.

I read something yesterday that says no, it’s the usual FPTP. Only the primary was RCV.

Thanks, that means a lot to me :) I’ve definitely always viewed it as a participation trophy of sorts, but you’re right; my team was absolutely over the moon for me.

I always liked wrestling for the same reason, it’s an individual sport with camaraderie. Two chances to feel like a winner! Did it for 6 years, was a good time.

I found this tool via the free services everyone should make use of post. It’s a database to track locations. You can post them when you see them, maybe someone else will do the other stuff ;)

I live in a small town and we have fucking 7 of these things. At least.

“Well it’s wood, it’ll survive the elements. Besides, it’s not like I can bring it inside a building or anything so what difference does it make if it stays out there for a while longer, you know?”

I never got a trophy for anything, but I did like the medal I got for my first wrestling win.. it wasn’t, like, any big thing, but we were against a specific school that has a good program, it was my first year, I was the only girl on the team.. and I won by techfall.

It was definitely a participation trophy of sorts, but it actually felt ok to get. It was engraved to read “for beating your [school] opponent, and first win”

We, as a team, lost to them. Badly.
