Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

It won't so much snuff itself out as it will become a bloated ball of fire and swallow the earth much in the same way that cthulhu will swallow your soul.

All my love,

A dress should be tight enough to show you're a woman but loose enough to flee from zombies. — Ginger

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

I am totes not worried about the heat death of the universe. Nor did I worry needlessly about nuclear destruction during the Reagan fear-mongering years.

And yet, I think of myself as a worst-case scenario guy.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I kind of want the sun to snuff itself out during my lifetime. Is that too much to ask? Maybe an asteroid strike? Please? Pretty please?

Maybe the Mayan thing will work out for you.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

I worry frequently about the Yellowstone supervolcano.

That's mine, too.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Frequently?

You guys can quit worry about that.

Q: How imminent is an eruption of the Yellowstone Volcano?

A: There is no evidence that a catastrophic eruption at Yellowstone National Park (YNP) is imminent. Current geologic activity at Yellowstone has remained relatively constant since earth scientists first started monitoring some 30 years ago. Though another caldera-forming eruption is theoretically possible, it is very unlikely to occur in the next thousand or even 10,000 years.

The most likely activity would be lava flows such as those that occurred after the last major eruption. Such a lava flow would ooze slowly over months and years, allowing plenty of time for park managers to evaluate the situation and protect people. No scientific evidence indicates such a lava flow will occur soon.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

I worry frequently about the Yellowstone supervolcano.

Remember Tom, it's probably more frightened of you than you are of it.

Worry is not the right word for how I feel about the heat death of the universe or the sun swallowing the earth. It's more in the way of doom and despair.
