we are solidified forms of slowed energy that through billions of years of selection attained the unlikely ability to conceive our own existence

and yet most of us, the majority of us, choose to go through the motions

you are aware. you are free. death awaits. only your existence, only your will remains to you. you live in a world. exercise your agency.

there's no such thing as agency, even the buddha is subject to cause and effect, the only way to "exercise your agency" is to abandon your concepts of exercise and agency

Press Release: Update on Attempted Child Abduction

On 4-1-19 at approximately 6:17 PM a call was made to Cabell County 911 from a female inside the Huntington Mall. The female stated to 911 dispatchers that while she was in a department store, a male suspect of Middle Eastern dissent attempted to grab her 5 year old daughter by the hair and abduct her from the store.

The female stated that she pulled out a firearm and the male suspect fled the scene. The female stated that she then reported the incident to mall security. Mall security and officers from the Barboursville Police Department observed the male suspect, as described by the female witness, walking near the Food Court and detained him.

A statement was taken from the female and her child indicating that the male suspect attempted to abduct the child. Based on the statement of the female witness and the child victim, the male suspect was placed under arrest. The female witness came to the police department and provided a detailed account of the incident verifying her previous verbal statement.

On the morning of 4-2-19, detectives continued their investigation by returning to the mall area and the store where the alleged incident happened. Video evidence, along with other investigative procedures, revealed some inconsistency with the female witness’s original statement. No witnesses to the alleged crime could be found.

On 4-2-19 at approximately 1:00 PM, the female witness was asked to return to the Barboursville Police Department and give another detailed statement. During the interview with the female witness, detectives discovered more inconsistencies to the original statement. Female witness (mother of the child) eventually told detectives that she might have misjudged the suspect’s actions, overreacted to the uninvited touching of her daughter, and misinterpreted the intentions of the male suspect.

Female witness also stated that the more she thought about it, the more she realized it might have been a cultural misunderstanding and that the suspect might have just been patting her daughter on the head and smiling.

no seriously guys, dinosaurs survived for like a hundred million years

humanity went like five thousand years between "whoa! if we plant this it grows!" and "POLLUTE THE ENTIRE PLANET DEATH TO CAPTAIN PLANET"

we're some kind of bizarre aberration of lifeform, extremely capable of comprehending the absurdity of consciousness and the awarenss of death, but also at once going "LOL LMFAO" as we watch temperatures shoot up 2*C
