Omelas is one of my favorite Le Guin stories.

Honestly if you don’t have a ton of other options, I don’t hate this. I always wanted to get several super thin flatscreens and set them up playing 24/7 nature livestreams from different sources. It would be like gazing out portals to different parts of nature.

Sure, being out in nature would be better, but it’s better than blank walls and parking lots.

My cat’s main redeeming feature is that I can slide my legs under her entirely to readjust positions and sometimes she doesn’t even look at me. Try to touch her, on the other hand, and it’s death.

My dog behaves like the cat in this meme.
