Well, the way you have to look at it is that you were going to purchase the poo poo beer in the first place, so it's a win. Somehow.

This wasn't true when that whole New Sincerity movement started, hasn't been true every couple years it is re-postulated, probably isn't true now...

New Sincerity's duty is to be a tiny, beloved candle flickering in the darkness, a point of light to guide you and comfort you, sometimes dim, sometimes distant, never extinguished. If it gets big something has gone wrong.

there's a difference in the power of the words you tell yourself versus the words someone else says. sometimes it helps to hear someone else tell you you're capable of good things.

it's why fred rogers is so loved, he said the stuff kids needed to be told.

It's definitely a thing I've noticed in myself and my social circle, but I think it's more of a growing older thing than any kind of social movement.

Wikipedia's timeline of the future shows increased solar luminosity causing CO2 stoppage making photosynthesis impossible in under 600M.

Ironically, fossil fuel reserves could be replenished in as little as 50M years, so don't worry, theoretical far future rat ppl will be genociding each other for coal and oil just fine!

There will be no rat ppl, human level intelligence plus environmental manipulation tools (hands) plus stable enough environment to build sedentary societies seems really unlike to pop up again before everything goes blooey, given that it appears to have popped up exactly once so far.

Twice, surely? The Neanderthals look pretty sapient from what we can tell.

Anything surviving the human extinction would have a big leg up too since there are lots of species that are already like 90% there what with being multi-cellular and having a brain and stuff. Look at our closest surviving relatives: chimps and bonobos. Pretty smart. But are they waaay smarter than corvids, parrots, cetaceans, or even loving octopuses? Once we're out of the way it's just a matter of time until they discovery irony and memes.

Sincerity has a bigger place in pop culture recently, too. Just look at any of Michael Schur's shows, starting with Parks and Rec. The people who like them list the overall positivity and lack of cynicism as one of the best parts.

Not that sarcastic detachment isn't the main form of humor on TV still.

It's increasingly what small, cute indie games trade on. Undertale wrecked shop primarily by being a metanarrative text about the impact of being nice and making friends with actual, not-video-game people; A Night In The Woods is an inexplicably compelling game about the raw experience of dealing with serious loving depression in a small, lovely, dying midwestern town.

Forced cheeriness and emotional over-sharing is far more saddening than edgy cynicism. It always has a certain desperate quality to it.

I loving love these kind of jokes when they end in an awkward aporia. Basically cut this off after the bartender castigates them for thinking limits are advanced maths and you've got exactly my kind of joke. The mosquito bit is really forced and kinda dumb

That joke reminded me of this one:

quote:

A United States Marine was attending some college courses between assignments. He had completed missions in Iraq and Afghanistan . One of the courses had a professor who was a vowed atheist and a member of the ACLU.
One day the professor shocked the class when he came in. He looked to the ceiling and flatly stated, “God, if you are real, then I want you to knock me off this platform. I’ll give you exactly 15 minutes.” The lecture room fell silent. You could hear a pin drop.
Ten minutes went by and the professor proclaimed, “Here I am God. I’m still waiting.” It got down to the last couple of minutes when the Marine got out of his chair, went up to the professor, and lifted up his arm to strike him.
At that moment the professor was transformed into a 7-foot grizzly, wreathed in a halo of holy fire. The bear spoke: "Blasphemer thou art, thou thinkst to take the place of God? Those who deny me face eternal fire, but you who knows my work and yet commits the sin of Satan I curse a hundred times over!" The Marine went back to his seat and sat there, silently picking at his boils. Then Richard Dawkins burst into the room, wielding a copy of The Selfish Gene and crying "Leave that boy alone, you pathetic atavism!" As the holy bear whirled around, terrible light flashing in its eyes, Dawkins shed his mortal form, raised each of his seven horned heads, and hissed. "It'ssss me you want!". And then the Lord and the Antichrist joined in the final battle.
The other students were shocked and stunned and sat there looking on in silence

I've been sitting here for 5 mins trying to think of a joke to make but I just realised the animators of Mass Effect already did it for me

Oh god, this is one of those moments when you realize you're old, isn't it? When I was in school my parents whined that they weren't taught the algebra and precalculus that I was being taught, so I was on my own. Now my kids are going to be learning the calculus that I was being taught in college when they're only sophomores in high school?
