Very resourceful, I love it. If you remember, I’d be interested in seeing the finished product, but either way I hope it turns out great! Nice job making the time for something like this!

100%, the text was an instant giveaway and the disagreement makes me feel like I’m living in a Truman Show simulation sometimes. Also, the monkey is actually a nightmare creature and the tiger is straight from the Walking Dead.

Many, many people will fall short of such a bar through no fault of their own.

It’s not such a binary thing as winning or losing, it’s a constantly shifting process. The only way to actually lose is by giving up – instead, consider it making it as hard as possible for your privacy to be infringed upon. Sometimes it’s more inconvenient, but what makes us such a farmable populace is our reluctance to be inconvenienced. Be good at being uncomfortable.
