You're listening to? Serious inquiries only.

Hello and welcome to Serious Inquiries only. This is episode 271. I'm Thomas. Thank you for tuning in.

So happy to have you here. I do want to say before I get started, we are having so much fun over on the Twitch stream.

That's twitch.tv slash serious pod. And if you haven't checked it out, please do because Lindsay has been coming on there.

We've had a lot of good questions from the chat and we could always use more company.

So make sure to check that out. Twitch.tv slash serious pod. If you go and subscribe there, then you'll always see where I'm going on.

Or if you join the Facebook group, the Serious NES Facebook group, it's been so much fun. It's not just about playing games.

Playing games is part of it, but it's also about the conversation and interaction and Lindsay telling stories of how her dad buried her TV.

Very the family TV. Not once, but I think like three times. It's been totally fun, especially in the year 2020.

It's been a nice break to go interact and talk about different things. We've had a lot of really good questions there that are turning into other topics.

That might be future show topics. So hope you'll check it out one more time. Twitch.tv slash serious pod. Hope to see you next time.

Alright, trying to keep on with my pledge to keep up with my email more because you guys have so many good questions and not just questions.

I get nice emails from people. I will tell you this. Nothing turns on my imposter syndrome more than reading my show email.

Some reason I'll get people are like, yeah, I'm a doctor. I'm a professor somewhere and I listen. I'm just like, what are you talking about?

But anyway, putting that aside for them. I'll try to put that aside. I've got some great comments and stuff.

Alright, here's one. I'm catching up with this. Some of these are in response to the election stuff.

And then also we've got some on the vegetarian and nism that's going to be a challenge for me not to talk about that all the time. And already I hear you saying, but in fact, maybe I'll have to address this right away.

I so many people. Oh, another annoying vegetarian slash vegan, whatever plant based birds. Ah, that stereotype telling everybody what to do.

Kind of thing. I see why this exists because it just, you know, kind of perpetuates itself. Don't worry. I'm not, I'm not here to try to lecture you.

It's funny, though, because specifically when it comes to my listeners who are guaranteed, like my Facebook friends where I've been posting this,

that's all through my podcast is all listeners for the most part. And I guarantee you that they do not feel the same way about politics and probably atheism.

You know, all of a sudden, right when I post about maybe, you know, like the way we treat animals in this country and factory farming is awful, maybe we should try to not do it.
