       If I was truly a good person, I could afford to buy skin food. (Out of town friend wanted to go there and see the consumptive horror, in person. She went alone; I'd probably start screaming.)Plain white rice, precooked, in plastic grocery containers, is $11.75/lb.

       @tomjennings I don't know if that's something to eat or something to put on your face, but either way, it looks disgusting

       @benroyce OMFG it is oh so real. Yes it is your fault you're not more healthy. You just need more money, what is wrong with you? I went in to one -+ it's a chain! -- 20 years ago.  It was filled with horrible impatient rich people. It's a cliche of horror.

       @eythian Squirrels literally plant trees. They gather and stash nuts in shallow holes, in protected corners, rocks, fences, etc, and half the time forget them. Those seeds, perfectly situated, grow very nicely.Big birds hunt and eat them.All native animals build the world we live in.

       @eythian Oh right. Introduction would probably be bad. No native mammals? That's odd!
