The problem with all these environmental issues is that developing nations are complaining that the first world nations have had centuries to enjoy the bounty of the earth, so why should they not be given the same opportunity(aka industralize and start polluting the environment)?
Again...this has potential to turn political, so I really should stop here.
I have no idea how talking about the environment gets you naked.
Maybe it's the nekkid truth.

Yeah the reef thing is terrible. I think that thing I posted about millennials nihilist nature mention something like that. We know this stuff is happening but feel we can't do anything about it.

I hope none of the dead guys were Malek... Malek can't die!
Well, he *did* go to -4 hit points while raging, and I asked the inevitable, "So, does that include your temporary hit points?" because I was sure I'd just killed Malek.
Impus Major's response? "What temporary hit points?"
That allowed Malek to stay standing, pick up Kwai Chang's corpse, and participate in the general retreat.

If you want one but don't have one, I can recommend a good tail-or.

I don't know why the vegetable monster reminds Freehold of you either. Sometimes it's best to just let Freehold's mind do some free association and not really question the whole matter.

(Side note: I always hated those kids who would wait until someone else said something and then chimed in with "Yes, I agree completely. I was going to say the same thing myself." when they had no intention of doing so, and then acting like they were actually contributing to the discussion.)
We would not have gotten along - while I honestly had many intentions of bringing things up, with attention deficit and an attempt to follow the lesson first, I'd often forget my points, unless someone else made a similar point, before I remembered it. It was always a pleasant moment of, "Oh, yeah! That thing!"
(But I can understand how it might be super-annoying to others: after all, they can't read my mind.)
And I hate being called "shy". I had to deal with that crap all through school, I even had a professor in college tell me that I needed to "get over being so shy". I'm not shy. I didn't speak u in class because either A) I didn't give a s$!% about the discussion, or B) I had nothing to add to the discussion.
<snip>
This led to pretty much every teacher telling me (or my parents at parent/teacher conferences) that I was too shy. Which always gave my parents a laugh because while I do tend to be rather quiet, I will definitely talk if the subject is interesting.
In the defense of those fussing at you: they had no real way of knowing that. Forced group participation can be a frustrating thing, but it's extremely important because of the limitations on human understanding and interaction.
And don't ask me to be in a play, either. Again, not because I'm shy or have stage-fright or whatever. I just have no interest in acting. Hell, I don't even like watching plays so there's no way I'm going to be in one.
This falls into the classic fallacy of, "If I don't like to watch it, I won't enjoy doing it!" which, as I can attest, isn't actually how interests work. For example, I... can't... watch... sportsball. Like, I just... I just can't.
(At least not on tv; a live game is better, but that's because I have more people to talk to - even so, though, I don't want to devote that much time.)
On the other hand I'll play sportsball at all sorts of times. It can be pretty fun!
While acting is (for most) a passive or receptive medium, a dislike of being passive does not necessarily equate to a dislike of active production!
As for speeches, again I hate listening to them so why would I want to give one. Besides, most of the people in the audience don't want to hear what I have to say, so let's just skip it.
This also runs into a presumptive fallacy: why wouldn't we care about what you have to say? As an example, while I'm actively disagreeing with some of your points, I find the conversation - or at least the concepts behind it - valuable, and worthwhile, because it provides another potential avenue of conversation and understanding of those with different views.
Now, for all that...
Ah I see your probably thinking of the typical erroneous definition of introvert. The best way I can describe how it was meant to be used is the following: For an extrovert being around a lot of people is energizing it makes them more lively and talkative. For an introvert Being around people is draining You have to put energy into it. So its not necessarily because we are shy Its just an investment of our resources to communicate and we like some return for that investment.
(<Boom any excuse to break out my Psychology B.S.>)
"Yes, I agree completely. I was going to say the same thing myself."
*cough*
(No, but seriously, I actually, honestly was, more or less, going to make the same point, before I saw Vid's post on the matter.)
As an aside, I lurve parties and people and folks... but I can get exhausted of such things and just... need... space. I am most definitely not shy, and I can yammer on for hours; but I also prefer to stay at home and be there.
Though I have a few elements of extroversion (occasionally craving going out, enjoying the company of people, and so on), I also have some powerful introversion traits. The latter does not equate to shy, though they can be related.
(But when we were growing up, many people really didn't understand such things, so we're only learning some truths about ourselves, now.)

That's because I grow monster vegetables.
Last year I had a tomato plant that grew 6 feet tall and might've eaten rabbits and a small dog (a joke! The neighbor's dog went missing last fall and a small tuft of fur was found in the garden, the dog turned up fine two days later).
It could've been the pumpkins too, they got out of control last year too.

Did you have to? I heard it's so hot that the tarmac is softening, causing the airport to close in Phoenix. Might really risk getting heat stroke.
