this whole overlapping crises thing is great. whenever you get too worried about one problem you can just take a deep breath and remember that none of this loving matters because there's always something bigger and worse going on.

and even if you pretend anything matters we don't have a leg to stand on when complaining about current conditions, societal or other wise. The hellworld coming for the new generation is going to be unspeakably horrific.

:cry: a chud got shot, close the thread! lol the world is literally ending who cares about either of them. enjoy the show lmao.

I read something I found upsetting yesterday. The bird with the largest brain in the Anthropocene was quite intelligent - smart enough to solve puzzles, have a complex social structure, and predict weather patterns. But despite the huge brain, it had no concept of an apex predator, so sailors could grab one and hold it upside down and club all of the birds that ran to help their squawking friend. Because their instincts couldn't cope with meeting murder apes, the dodo bird got an undeserved reputation for being stupid and obsolete.

thanks for sharing!

Idk, I absorbed both threads long long ago and I know full well that I am in fact a coward for not martyring myself. They're not wrong there, they just want to be able to smugly point and laugh at the sad monk committing self-immolation, and don't believe that the flames will reach them.

being a martyr seems weird, it’s like you have to be fundamentally trusting that the people left behind will care or change or anything and that seems quite preposterous. seems more constructive to vote.

I’m preeetty sure plastic capsules are bio plastic at least but duckin who knows it’s probably cheaper to supplement with oil somehow.

bio plastic is also the binder for gluten free bread and god knows what other food. what was in those 30% tuna subway sandwiches again?
