Feels a lot like we are the survivors of the titanic

I liken it to a camping trip. It's all your own stuff just a different scenery.

I did think about it when someone mentioned not likely going back any time soon. Unpack my bags and set up the tent.

After any major disaster there's always a headcount...."have we lost anyoneeee?"

That’s what happens when you don’t have a migration buddy.

Fortunately I don’t think any of our lot shot themselves in the run to the boats

I choose to believe anyone who is missing decided to go outside, embrace the real world, and is spinning around blissfully happy, like in the Sound of Music poster elsewhere in the thread.

We need our own documentary. Interviews with victims, survivors and such.

[–] RustyRaven@aussie.zone 3 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Interviews with the victims that did not survive would be particularly fascinating.

You’ll need to use the Ouija board to do that interview

Always the most highly sought after
