Bro. You can't sign a petition on change.org.

Just move on with your life.

Humankind could have been living in blissful peace for centuries.

Nah. This is a unique moment in history - access to objective truth has never been so widespread. In theory, it's a lot easier to lead people to war if you can convince them that their neighbors' customs and culture are causing your crops to fail or some shit.

But it turns out that people simply prefer to reject objective truth. So they'll blame gays for hurricanes and tell people that homelessness is punishment for sin.

Everything is definitely shittier now.

100 years ago there were more things that just happened to us that we couldn't do anything about. It's hard to eradicate a virus when you don't even know what a virus is.

Nowadays we are plagued with completely solvable problems. We could eliminate measles, but dumbasses are afraid of vaccines. We could feed everyone, but we got billionaires to maintain. We could stop destroying the earth, but then who will burn all this oil? We could cooperate on a global scale, but then we might have to talk to brown people, ew. We could stop bombing each other, but then how would we prove to our gods that we're good people?

So yeah "things" are shittier, because nowadays we have the ability to live in a nearly post-scarcity society but we just don't wanna.

I remember that fucking bronco car chase interrupted my cartoons and I was like, "get this car off the screen, I want to watch Batman the animated series."

All right smart guy, explain to me how else I'd know if I'm out of ketchup if I can't use an app to access the remote camera in my fridge? Can't do it can ya? Yeah that's what I thought

I don’t mind in-game ads printed on in-map billboards and stuff

Not ten years ago people were complaining about this very thing.

It's fascinating to watch the boiling frog in basically real time. Give it another 10 years and ads that interrupt gameplay will be seen as normal too.

I moved to the $10 720p plan and haven't noticed the drip in resolution even once.
