Hello from the future! It's a glorious future indeed. I see a flag of green and black, and every one is cheering.

NLO! NLO! NLO!

Wrong!

Glorious society

Charles walked through a house in the woods. Its occupants had died a long time ago and no one knew it existed. He passed by a couple of rooms filled with weaponry and the makeshift command base. He walked into the living room balcony and looked down onto the first floor and the main area of the living room. Some of his new recruits were prepping and getting ready to go. Their plan was to go into nearby rural towns and attempt to gain supplies and more recruits for the Insurgency. He turned and walked out onto a balcony.

He overlooked a small woodland compound. Men and women scurried to and fro but there weren't a lot of them. It barely qualified as a skeleton crew. It would have to work until more rebels came in. Everyone who was oppressed would most likely end up under his banner. He would build an army and use them as a weapon to kill Daniel. Then...well then isn't important. Daniel is his target. Nothing else is important. He heads back to the Command Post to start viewing more priority targets. Curiously though, leaked reports said that Daniel hasn't been seen very often and when he has he's been distracted. There was also some mention of an Asterion Order and their Inquisitorial nature. He might have to do something about that.

But first, building the Insurgency. Then war. No other option remained.

Guiness Freaks wrote:Okay I know this is old but beer leader has REALLY strong feelings about this. What is happening is a damn travesty and due to terrible agro farming practices. High use of pesticides, high use of fertilizer (especially nitrogen), and growing the same crops in the same spot year after year is stripping the soil from the earth. There are many ways to combat this, but unfortunately they take time and the large agro farms have no incentive to farm any other way. Beer leader has been growing soil around his estate using various mulching practices and cover crops to combat this. As well as using swales for water irrigation. Beer leader suggests looking into permaculture techniques.

Around where I live, a farmer who plants anything but corn or soy beans is an oddity. And I agree on the over-fertilization/herbicide/pesticide thing. I'm not clear on the details, but I've heard that a lot of farmers are kind of in a bind: to get a loan to plant a crop, they have to plant corn or beans. It's not all bad news though: conservation tillage is widely practiced, and manure as fertilizer is readily available from confinement operations. And there's the CRP (Conservation Reserve Program) that pays farmers to take especially sensitive areas out of production more or less permanently. And I have an idea that herbicides at least will be replaced by robotic weed pullers at some point.

Welcome to the 20s!

Aflana would like to wish the fellow nations of Lazarus a Happy New Year.

President Finlay Rayne was at a rally in the capital of new year where citizens gathered to count down to the new year and the new decade. The nation of Aflana looks forward to working together with its neighbours to have a prosperous future.

A bit later Lady Zaharra was in Chenzoizia, still five minutes in the past, now observing the leader of that nation, Keiyentai. He seemed much more stable than High Councillor Daniel Ryan of Glorious society, possibly with fewer, lesser abilities. Possibly.

"Well, now," Lady Zaharra said to the apparition that couldn't see or hear her, "Aren't you interesting?"

Nah, that makes sense. I was just thinking actually that it's a little sad cuz. x) So much stuff that I wanted to do last year that I didn't get done... oh well, I guess can be more motivation for next year or something. /o/

Yeah I'm personally trying to be more optimistic this year. Or at least recognize why I'm being pessimistic so I can let the pessimism go.

I agree and then the flip side is that if you dont you're paying out all profits for health care, employees, farmers market fees, etc. at least in my neck of the woods.

That's cool. I'm gonna try to do the stuff that's actually important to me more, and less of the stuff that isn't; spend more time with people I care about, and maybe get my dream career of being in the music industry a little more than just a dream.

This reminds me, I visited my great grandma earlier today (the 31st was her 100th birthday), and I asked her if she was going to have any resolutions for new years. She said no, that she didn't need any more of those. x)

Well personally I think that's exactly what life should be about and how I try to live my own. So kudos to you and good luck. I dont know anyone in the music industry other than local djs and musicians, but I'll send good vibes your way.

Thank you. :) Wishing good luck to you with being more optimistic/rationally pessimistic too. That sounds like something that isn't just an easy thing to follow along after, but worth it if it makes your life a brighter one.

Happy New Year to Lazarus from Treadwellia! His Corpulence is up late, having watched the clock switch over with Mrs. Tubbius. Now, The Two Tummies are helping each other out of Their clothes and TubBras and into Their MaTubbity nightgowns. Admittedly, this removal of upper undergarment brings notable sagginess to both Chubby Clauses, but it is a small price for nightly comfort.
