Oh man, Scrappy, those are AWESOME! I love the Deathmobile!
Gavin, ask yourself this question. What are you more afraid of, a giant murderous demon or me?

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
So awesome, Scrappy!
But then I live in a fantasy world where people are nice, honest, and helpful.
Shit, that's the only world where I think capitalism is a good idea.

I'm a bleeding-heart liberal leftist pinko (duh!) commie bastard from the Left Coast.
I see zero value in capitalism except to "reward" cutthroat shark-like humans with more money...money that comes from other, less-cutthroat shark-like humans.
Nice people don't need rewards, they're just nice.
I expect no-one to agree with me on this, which is why I'm a bitter, solitary old faggot who spends most of his time killing virtual things on computers instead of actually talking to other humans.

Because books.
Nice people don't need rewards, they're just nice.
Do you mean nice people don't need monetary/tangible rewards, or no reward at all?
I'm not sure what to make of either stance, really, but I think even nice people are more than happy to hear "thanks," if nothing else.

"Hedgehogs. Why can't they just share the hedge?"
Most of the top 10 jokes are pretty funny.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.
My cat just blocked Jesse.
I just unblocked her, but apparently either Jesse or my cat should not be trusted.

Even a cat can look at a cowgirl.

This right here is why I adore my husband (check out the fabulous pictures!): [link]
I think my favorite is Death on a Plinth.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I think even nice people are more than happy to hear "thanks," if nothing else.
But does it still count as being nice if you do it for the thanks? If nice is equated with altruism, not really.

Scrappy's husband is awesome!
