first of all why would you give us a thing during normal people sleeping hours second of all do you really think a thing as trivial as sleep would keep me from answering a text ever gg how long have you known me
get on the ball man seriously anyway for real dont worry about it even if you texted me in the dead of night and or at prime siesta hour id get back to you in a timely fashion but also since youve graciously warned me of the impending giftening i wont be suspicious of sudden surprise flowers especially if they are blue should you so choose the ninja mode of delivery
giorno meridiana isnt the only best thing thats ever happened to me in my life shes what makes my life the best thing to happen that was a weird thing to say to a guy ive only known for two weeks but you were kind of weird for asking
it's okay! i know i'm weird i like being weird i like the weird thing you said to me i'm happy about you being happy, even if it's shared in a weird way
can i ask why i mean why youre so invested in our admittedly adorable and epic love story despite the relative shortness of our acquaintance not bothered just curious
oh well a lot of reasons i guess one is that i'm nosy two is that i like to see people happy! i've seen a lot of people sad and i prefer the other thing three is that you did seem very sad and upset when you came here both of you i mean so this is a nice a nice thing?
i don't know if that makes any sense
and then the fifth thing of course is that i just like romance, it makes me smile, but that's different
hmm ok yeah i get you i think and dont get me wrong its still sad and upsetting to be here on account of we had a REALLY NICE HOUSE and wifi and a bluray player and unlimited texting and a city and everything and also all of our friends but also i love her and she loves me and being dropped in a frozen hamlet of boredoms not going to change that
see and that's why i like you! you know what's important
all right here's the thing the thing is this fugo and i are dating
that's it! that's the whole thing, there i did it good job me
also: thank you for the scarf, that is tangentially related and i forgot because frankly this week has been weird but it's beautiful and appreciated because it's cold here dave
i've been trying to figure out what a good currency would be i haven't had success with creating a mint and my other thought was emeralds, but it seems unwieldy, you know?
aw ok good to know and also of course youre welcome for the scarf i hope it keeps you warmer than a scarf of actual flowers would
now the key thing about currency i think anyway is convenience convenience and agreement on the basic worth of things so honestly even before talking about materials its worth figuring out what exactly the basic commodity is here if its not grain and ill tell you what i think it is gg i think its labor think about it
i havent totally worked that out yet but in my head the ideals something like you know how i was like "ok my youthful shoveling back is worth twenty bucks an hour" and made people sign a thing if people could work out how much their time is worth given their training or profession or expertise or whatever adjusting for inflation over time and different standards of living across the universe it wouldnt be so hard to standardize things after that?? and then its like ok manual labor generally is worth ten cobblestones a day except dont actually use the cobblestones as currency theyre different sizes and also then well have holes in the streets

people transfer services far more than goods, barter-wise
hm so
how does that translate to a physical currency
no subject
you know how i was like "ok my youthful shoveling back is worth twenty bucks an hour" and made people sign a thing
if people could work out how much their time is worth given their training or profession or expertise or whatever
adjusting for inflation over time and different standards of living across the universe
it wouldnt be so hard to standardize things after that??
