Nuance is everything, exactly.

I think when it comes down to it though (and I do often think about this), is what the goal for the future is. Like do we want to just freeze everything as it is? Or live in some techno-futurism “utopia”? Or something else?

How far do we want to take “understanding our world and our risks” before enacting our vision?

I think one of the main problems in society, right now, is that philosophically, not only are we not aligned in our deeply detailed goals, not only do we not know each other’s goals, but we hardly know our own goals.

It’s something I think we as people living in society need to refocus on and discuss, openly. It’s a hell of a time in history to bring up this sort of idealistic conflict, but if not now, then when? There are so many things pulling at our needs for resources and individual attentions, it’s a marvel we’ve even gotten this far.

Honestly, the biggest problems in the world right now are attaining power to even enact said goals of focused discussion of philosophy, because the powers that be seem hell bent on society at large avoiding that at all costs.

Alcoholism da na na na na

Is this about cars or society and industry? Because what if they’re really efficient and have wheels and run on passive energy collected from the power of the sun and processed through rare minerals dug from the earth?

Iine go up diamond hands

USB-C will be destroyed by Romulans and next we will have USB-D.

Holy shit I thought 114 was a mistype

In Seattle, whenever there’s a bike at a red LIGHT they usually just straight up run it if they can.

Just because something is a political ideology, doesn’t mean it can’t also be a hobby.

No please don’t take this away from me. It’s one of the last things I have that help me feel normal. It’s a net positive on my life. It’s queer, it’s outspoken, it’s fresh, it’s thoughtful. What reasons do you have that I shouldn’t use tiktok?

Y’all thought we were joking when we called them Nazi-Mobiles. We very much weren’t.

Highlander being a hero for the conservatives is an interesting thought experiment though hahaha

Hey don’t bring tiktok into this. I’ve discovered quite a bit of good music, political uprisings, neat hobbies, beautiful art and artists of all kinds, philosophical concepts, and wonderful ways to look at life on there. Like those two hiker guys from “we love you” that talk about being present and coping with and appreciating life.

Empathy can be developed over time by MOST people.

Also, performative empathy can be developed.

But then ALSO, anti empathy seems to be developing in society? Which is wild.

By exercising it at a young age in public schools.

And judging those without more harshly.

Feels wrong to hide it.

What? When? I’m not a Superman fan, but even I know he was born on Krypton or whatever his planet was, and his parents were royalty I think, and they sent him to Earth as a baby to survive, where he was raised by farmers to be a GOOD YOUNG AMERICAN WHITEBOY but then he discovers his powers and thankfully his parents were actually good people and not goddamned nazis and he goes around helping people and fighting his greatest enemy, Lex Luthor that bald guy that represents capitalism whose name is way too close to the Christian devil.

If Superman were real, he 100% would have melted a lot of those racist fucks.

There can be only one!

(I don’t get it either. Maybe they’re thinking of The Boys, with the character Homelander?)

I saw a YouTube short the other day of Bruce Campbell talking about how there’s this stereotype in acting where the good-guy actors are all pieces of shit, and the bad-guy actors are all the nicest people you’ve ever met.

Ex-Superman Dean Cain can fuck off
