the pandemic making people realize - oh shit they can just grind all this to a halt with the push of a button

the recent election frauds / riots / etc in the US, global warming / severe weather increasing, capitalism getting more and more ruthless, everything sucks more and costs more…

it feels so weird that it’s 2023 and we still care about dress codes or professionalism, at the same time. because it sort of feels like we’re in the beginning of a movie waiting for the bad thing to happen

    It feels more like Idiocracy is the new reality, more than it feels like the end of the world. Though I suppose the end of the world would be pretty nigh if everyone was a drooling idiot and still had access to nukes and was still polluting the planet. 🤔

      if everyone was a drooling idiot and still had access to nukes

      Think about this:

      Regarding the group of people having access to the buttons that start the nukes, I can’t help the feeling that the percentage of idiots is much higher there than it is among average people.
