Before the Plague

Zahra: I’m sure protein is a myth and no one really needs to get any in their diet

steven.cloud: people can live on all sorts of diets

Zahra: that could be a kids book
Zahra: help kids not feel bad for living off cold cereal and refusing real food

steven.cloud: nah, kids need to grow up and realize the world doesn’t revolve around them

Zahra: see i thought that too
Zahra: well about feeding kids anyway, that theyd eat when they were hungry
Zahra: but theyre actually not smart enough to do that
Zahra: its amazing
Zahra: i dont know how kids survive in the wild

steven.cloud: yeah, if my kid wouldn’t eat i would spank him or her… or yell at them or something like that. that’s how you teach kids.

Zahra: thats the thing though, theyre not smart like animals
Zahra: i dont think theyre that easy to train

steven.cloud: essentially kids are domesticated animals.
steven.cloud: humans are the dogs vs. wolves
steven.cloud: we’re permanently infantilized
steven.cloud: that’s basically what domestication is
steven.cloud: making something perm. immature and dependent
steven.cloud: where before it was self-sufficient (wild)

Zahra: like the frozen wild blueberries in the store?

steven.cloud: right. we have no idea how to find wild blueberries.
steven.cloud: granted most of the environment has been destroyed but that’s beside the point

Zahra: aww man
Zahra: we need the environment
Zahra: wont it just grow back?

steven.cloud:maybe. after the plague. (way past due, plague. way to slack!)

Zahra: what if i started talking about everything that happens now with the addition of the phrase “before the plague”

steven.cloud: that’d be a cool band name: Before The Plague

Zahra: until that one night they cant perform because its not before the plague anymore…
Zahra: (they changed their name, these things happen)

steven.cloud: i don’t think so
steven.cloud: they can still be called BTP b/c they formed before the plague. it’s still an accurate name
steven.cloud: whereas the Backstreet Boys seems kind of retarded now.

Zahra: yeah, no way theyre still boys
Zahra: they must be nearly 50
Zahra: im kinda excited about saying before the plague just casually
Zahra: hey we should get together sometime, before the plague
Zahra: im going to check that out, before the plague
Zahra: and eventually ill start believing in the plague and the world and the universe will let me have it and the world will end by december
Zahra: hopefully

steven.cloud:  yep. and you’ll have the satisfaction of knowing you did your part.

Zahra: yeah i can really put my heart into this

steven.cloud: that’s what life is all about. finding where you fit in and filling that niche. big breakthrough today.

Zahra: yay!

Most of the candy sold during this season has been dedicated and prayed over by witches.
