    Troll gate open. Might as well hear from a few eco-crims.
    I always thought that living in the harsh incandescent lighting of an urban night time environment was psychologically damaging to humans

    I have never met a single person who was not in awe of a clear, star-splashed sky on a mountain night. Suggesting to me there is some innate, primal attraction to the natural nighttime environment.

    Yes, the Arabs mapped and named everything they could see in terms of forms - loooooooooooong before there was an Israel. Those ' desert ' skies must have been something.

    When you are finally able to see the Milky Way without any kind of interference, you'd almost fall backwards in wonder. It just sucker punch you just like that.

    I will never forget when someone pointed out the Andromeda Galaxy to me on a clear mountain night.

    The feeling cannot be recreated by looking at a photo or digital image

    Right wing INCELs are always fantasizing about my sexually explicit activities.

    Why don't you attempt to get a girlfriend instead of pondering what I am doing with females.
