It's eclipsed (no pun intended) by the horrors of war, disease, and conservatism. It's hard to be excited about the moon when there's measles outbreaks and at least one genocide.

I found Castle Rat when they opened for The Well a bunch of years back. Had no idea what to expect, but they really killed it. Been a fan ever since.

I think it's low quality more than low effort. Low effort often gets low quality, but someone could spend hours making a bad Photoshop joke and it's still shit

I'm confident that if you waved a magic wand and removed currency, an hour later it would be reinvented via "hey, will you do me this favor? I'll owe you one" -> "You already owe me one. But I guess you'll owe me two? Let me write this down"

Living someplace with usable mass transit is pretty nice.

Gas is too cheap relative to its real costs anyway.

They should sell products users want at prices they're willing to pay. Without abuse, deception, or other malicious acts.
