Responsible scientists terminate their cruel experiment once it’s not needed anymore.
We’re pretty close to dying from climate change.
Misanthropy is an understandable sentiment, but succumbing to it robs you of the agency to make the world a better place.
This pisses me off. I can’t make the world a better place. We can’t make it a better place. We are the very reason it’s as bad as it is! Squirrels aren’t out there with ponzi schemes. Toads aren’t building machines that destroy natural resources. Scorpions aren’t committing genocide in the name of a made up God so they can take land from other scorpions. We are the only thing on this planet that does not fit into the systems that exist. I know that kind of statement bothers people because you believe yourselves to be good because your aren’t X, but everything you and I do causes suffering. Everything.
No no, you can choose to make the world a better place by removing humanity from it.
It’s not very cash money of you to do it but you can do it. Unless the humanity we’re talking about are just the humans with an awful lot of cash money… That’s a different story
Americans after one bad election: “Everyone in the whole history of the world is trash and we should all be exterminated”
Eh, one bad election? Have you been under a rock? Do people forget 2016? And all the smaller elections in between then and now? Millions of us are losing basic human rights for a while now.
Do people forget 2016?
Yes. That’s how Trump wins in 2024.
Millions of us are losing basic human rights for a while now.
The eugenists insisting that humanity is failed and we need a grand culling to fix it are at the forefront of that effort.
Wow, you gotta be pretty privilege in one way or more to say that’s at the forefront
No I’ve recognized the virus-like existence of humans for the bulk of my 43 years. We have the capacity to do better, but don’t and that’s what makes us so fucking awful.
No one thinks they’re a bad person, but bad people exist.

So do most of the people who vote (or don’t vote) for this shit. Maybe we should stop focusing so much on how much everyone else sucks and start trying to help each other.
People giving up is what got us into this position.
Oh to be young and still idealistic…
My guy, I’m almost as old as you. I just haven’t given up yet.
If you want to give, that’s fine. You can enjoy your schadenfreude while the world burns around you, I’d rather at least think about doing something about it.
No one thinks they’re a bad person, but bad people exist.
Person is singular and people is plural.
Just where my head went.
More a series of ongoing failures, whittling away of freedoms, vilification of the “other” (chosen targets periodically changing), and willful ignorance spread over decades. Just seems more focused these days and across more than the US.
Climate change and nukes baby

Jim Carrey is da best
Humanity is many concurrent experiments.
Yes, a rather important collection of them have rotted.
The old world is refusing to gracefully build for the new one to grow into its place.
What do we want to build after this wildfire?
Vishnu’s defense against the rage of Shiva takes priority now. Vishnu must think and plan to defend what resources to preserve for Brahma to start growing something new.
I’d say that caring for our planet, our planetary neighbors, and our people are more important than any profits, petroleum, plastics, wars, or mass surveillance spyware systems with giant data centers chugging our freshwater to inefficiently do things we had solutions for in the 90s.
I had to fill out an outlook form on my phone for a job fair. Slowed down my phone so much I had to wait for the letters to appear after typing. Scrolling and moving between text fields was also a pain. Crashed once and I had to refresh the page and start over. Why isn’t this a simple html webpage? Submitting forms with text fields is basic html. Lightweight, low power use, works everywhere. The page needed nothing else.
Web2.0 (e.g. Twitter, Facebook, Amazon Web Services) was a scam takeover of a free technology system by oligarchs just as the general public started to use it writ large thanks to smartphones. Everything since has been them using their oligarchic control over our societal brain to take over society itself.
this is the first line of Lamb of God’s Reclamation and boy does that song get more relevant every year
Thanks for the callout.
It’s “Reclamation” you festering parasite
nice catch, i hate typing on phones
Yep. Has been ever since the Golgafrinchan B Ark crashed here and killed the native population and broke the computer the size of a planet.
Slartibartfast is devastated.
He did the coast line in that one country. Pretty good work.
Beautiful fjords. No wonder the parrot was pining for them.
Everything Robotnik says is Truth and/or too good for this movie. You will not convince me that Jim Carrey, “artistic consultant”, did not write his own lines - nobody was able to tell him no. It was either that or explicit Robotnik/Stone.
Given the grandfather/grandson montage, that sounds about right.
So can we start over?
Sure, but perhaps we could find a means different from what he was suggesting.
Nah, seems like a solid plan.
You could be right.
