This one is worth saving
We are so numb to it now but everyone forgets what it was like when the doors to the internet opened and we were all face to face with strangers and had no clue what we were suppose to do.
Being a total fuckwad seems like an option when you contrast it to how mundane the rest of your life was before the internet.
Like I remember sitting on the bus as a kid desperately ignoring every thing around me because I just wanted to do the shit and go home. That, school, and the ride back were the only social interactions with strangers that was expected of me. When we got cable internet and we started pumping the outside world directly into our eyeballs, telling it to "go fuck itself" seemed somewhat appropriate.
Thanks for sharing! i really enjoyed that. i might have to watch the whole thing now.
The most giga-fucked part is that we could be living on a literal paradise on Earth with the technology we have. However, certain... actors (market makers, politicians, inherited wealth shits) desire to be neo-nobility and have an addiction to hoarding resources. Literal dragon shit. Well, these dumb fucks don't realize the current generation REALLY loves dungeons and dragons. Where dragons get slain and their hoards plundered. Of course, there are wealthy people out there who AREN'T complete monsters. They exist, ie the Disney heiress who has been trying to warn her fellow billionaires about the potential danger they're in if they don't equalize society @_@
Where dragons get slain and their hoards plundered.
This metaphor is apt because its a fantasy. The people have proven they aren't going to do jack shit.
Mmm. We'll see.
something something "suffering builds character" smh
Compared to most humans who’ve ever lived, we do live in a literal paradise on Earth.
We just choose not to see it because it’s more fun to be angry than it is to be grateful.
I wasn't in a good place to begin with. Then the US political debate happened and it just got worse...
If my level of hope for the future was 15/100 before, it's like 2/100 now.
it's like 2/100 now
ah I see you're an optimist
I don't understand the "teenage stepdad" on the pricetag.
Is that, like, a teenagers stepdad...or is that just the next progression after these kids on Xbox fuck my mother?

Or, you never work out, don’t get enough sleep, never wash your dishes, and keep eating the foods that you know give you inflammation.
and keep eating the foods that you know give you inflammation
fucking wheat. I knew it was bad for like since my childhood, only stopped eating large quantities of it a year ago, when i finally got my shit together and converted to a mostly rice-based diet.
