This entire post will age poorly if we ever transition out of this incredibly self-indulgent and wasteful period of human civilization.

We should have walkable neighborhoods, mass transit of gleaming efficiency, bike lanes as priority, we should be encouraging socializing and creating spaces for people to gather that aren't profit-driven, but with plans to create comfort and recreation to better the people and foster a sense of belonging to a community. It's absurd we all live in places with lots of people but have no sense of belonging to a community. This goes against literally millions of years of our own evolutionary history. We NEED community to function and have healthy minds.

I mean, it's not likely to happen. But maybe when the next great apocalyptic event happens the survivors can try to remake things with a little more planning. After the whole period of darkness and cannibalism of course.

containing loli

It wasn't containing loli, it had generic hentai and some horse stuff. I was there and saw it, about 1000 hate-watchers immediately screamed "LOLI" and it stuck.

I think to be fair the artist was a known artist who had done loli and there was a character who was underage in some show but didn't look more or less underage than ALL hentai, but people don't necessarily save porn based on what other works the artist has made or what the storylines say. It was a pretty desperate accusation, people REALLY need to hate people who have different opinions.

This should show everyone clearly, unambiguously, without a doubt that conservatives in America have zero idea what progressivism or leftism is about at all.

It's just words to them. They do NOT care. It's WWE wrestlemania. They want to paint their faces and get swept away in a stageplay and die as heartbroken as the hero if they don't succeed and make all their enemies pay.

We need to like, mass-spam the entire Midwest america with historical romance novels with bodice-ripping sex scenes. I think if more guys just got lost in that shit, we would have a lot less tension and pain in the world.

They're saying that they feel bad that they didn't pull off the "cool, hip young attitude" that their test markets, data-points, cited studies and weeks of brainstorming sessions predicted, so now they're going to shift around leadership in the marketing teams and try to approach their social media presence from a different angle, one that appears respectful of modern social issues but also not afraid to throw out some media-safe zingers from time to time! Additionally, a newer model of AI to help reply to questions will surely connect with the people who are all so amazed by AI technology.

That sense you get reading this, that overwhelming desire to find something tall to hurl yourself off of... that's the reason we haven't done anything about climate change. We are answering the call of the void because we know deep inside there's no hope.

All I know is for 2 years I wore one and didn’t catch a damn cold.

I've cohabited with someone with a major immunity problem and had to take normal, established-before-covid guidelines for making sure I don't bring back a virus that would kill someone I care about. I wore a mask for months going out, washed my hands, avoided crowds. Never got sick.

So that was before covid. Imagine how it feels seeing the whole world be advised to do the same thing, and absolutely losing their collective mind about it, while millions of people died.

It will never make sense. I mean, logically I have studied psychology and have come to understand the mechanics of people's irrational, emotional reactions. What doesn't make sense is how we elected a clown that led our nation in the direction of chaos and followed his example.

THEN WHAT FUCKING WILL CHANGE ANYTHING

Because this is the only thing that gets people like you to even talk about this.

edit: I want to be clear that I don't care if it's rude or uncivil to talk to people about this like this, I will do it again and again and again and I support efforts to be annoying about it, because at this point it's all we have left to maybe, potentially, get enough people angry enough that someone, somewhere does something. Anything

You're all making your frowny faces and saying "This is counter-productive" and you're simply not getting it.

If through some magical means we were to learn that nuking Manhattan would somehow lower global temperatures, then we would need to do that, just up and vaporize 1.6 million people. It would STILL be the ethically superior action to take if it magically worked. Because in the next century billions of people may die.

If we learned that filling the Grand Canyon with concrete would get companies to stop producing carbon waste and get people to accept inconveniences like electric cars and paper straws without whinging like a wounded toddler, then yes, line up those cement mixers.

When it comes to the trolly problem, you're all not even looking at the right tracks if you're so upset about incivility or annoyances when it comes to climate activism. If anyone is left to do it, one day they will erect statues of these kids throwing soup at paintings and coloring rocks.

So the meme is in agreement that defacing Stonehenge as a protest was pointless?

It was as pointless as everything else, that's why they did it, it's screaming into the void to get attention.

There are ways to get attention for a cause without defacing one of the seven wonders of the world

Are there though? I'm old enough to remember this has gone on for decades without anyone doing anything of significance and now we're at the actual edge of global catastrophe and STILL people are like "hmn, those kids should be recycling." Bruh, you and so many people have no idea how many lives are going to be lost in the next century while every milquetoast liberal and conservative in the developed world roll their eyes and get pissed at slight annoyances like... checks notes colored corn starch on rocks you will never visit.

It's like trying to shake someone in a dream to get them to pay attention. And the more you scream and hit them, the more they look ahead like zombies.

They HAVE sprayed BP's factories and lots and machines, they have sabotaged equipment and chained themselves to machines and have caused material harm to companies like BP, but that doesn't get any fucking coverage because media doesn't want to encourage "violent activism" for fear of turning away viewers like YOU who are annoyed by such things.

The economy is doing great.

For the people who manage and control the economy.

I mean, everyone has been crying and whinging for years, decades even, that the USA needs to ramp up semiconductor fabrication in case shit goes south in Taiwan. We are finally getting some domestic production power and we're getting outraged by the traffic delays? America will sink itself because of our people's own addiction to comfort and complaining about any slight to that comfort.

People are setting themselves on fire, throwing food at famous art or stopping traffic because it feels like a bad dream where you see the disaster coming and you're trying to shake people to get them to understand that we have to DO something, and they just stare straight ahead like zombies.

These are people who are scared and frustrated because we've tried EVERYTHING and nobody actually cares. When I tried to impart this message on reddit, people were like "I get it but why can't they just promote recycling or protest peacefully?" and then a 50-comment deep thread about whether or not the liquid soup can work its way through the screws on the plating that covers the artwork and what kind of lasting damage it might do.

Meanwhile, our destruction is literally around the corner. I don't get it.

We deserve what's coming.

There's a whole long LIST of things we can try long before settling on "first felon president."

• First Woman President

• First Openly Gay President

• First Asian/Pacific Islander President

• First Albino President

• First Teenage President

• First Werewolf President

• First Teenage Werewolf President

• First Robot President

• First Robot Teenage Werewolf President

• First Normal President

We could go on and on too.

Ah so they had human emotions and mental health struggles.

When someone says "I'm a drama magnet" they are the drama. When someone says "I attract psychos" they are the psycho. More likely than not this chud learned the term "Cluster B" and just pounds that button on anything that remotely makes him feel uncomfortable.

edit: one, single, lone grump read this and said "We should be able to call females Cluster B whenever we want!" and slammed the downvote button with one greasy finger. I don't know why I find that image so fuckin funny.
