The hatred some goons feel for each other is only surpassed by their self-loathing. In fact I think the two are inextricably linked. Whenever I encounter a fat neckbeard with a fedora who speaks weird English* at an inappropriate volume and sperges out over poo poo like Warhammer, I die a little inside because I realise that had my life taken a different road, I might have ended up just like him. Not that my current life as a borderline alcoholic poet is that much better, all things considered. Thanks for coming to my TED talk.

Just because effort is put into a thing doesn't make it good, and learning to recognize that is one of the key steps to improving.

Unlike my posts which have never and will never have any effort put into them, and are all terrible.

There is a fine line between discouraging people from making effort and telling them that although this sucks big time I see what you were trying to do there

Up on the Iron Range, they're referred to as "The dumps". They're taconite reserves. Not worth stripping the iron out now, but, once the Range runs out of easy taconite, it will be useful. The proper term is "Spoil Bank" but everyone just calls it "The Dumps."

They turn into hills covered in trees pretty quickly. Mostly Aspen but Pine too. In a few hundred years, someone will process them for Iron. It's all open pit up there so there's no reason to push everything back. You just get free lakes and hills.

The Tower-Soudan mine (deep mine) is used for scientific research so it's still useful for that as well as tourist traffic. The pumps are still on. https://www.soudan.umn.edu/
