The beans were great. As incoherent as they got it felt like someone was trying to post content so they got my upvotes. It can get pretty dead around here and I was glad for the change of pace. For a while there was nothing but AI prompt Sailor Moon art that was pretty entertaining too

What a future to live in. Don’t suppose people could get a living wage? Right on, just make pervy AI powered robots instead that’ll fix the problems.

Capitalism is mass produced feudalism distilled in just enough high fructose corn syrup to sell the lie to the people that if you work hard enough and pull up your straps all the way, one day you will be the one pulling the strings and not licking boots. The problem isn’t in facing this stark reality, it’s in having enough imagination to see what could lay beyond the comforting pain of what you are used to and the devil you don’t know.

People are not ready for a complete societal overhaul, I am not ready for it either but we’re speeding along to a future where people will know the bitter taste of their neighbor’s flesh in the name of survival. I hope to be spared such knowledge and for other good people to be too but here we are, entire populations around the world are about die of thirst and we’ve let people (because corpos are people as legally defined for the purposes of money in some places and might as well drop the facade in others) bottle and sell it as a commodity and a premium at that.

For those still reading and capable of abstract thought: imagine you were an entity composed of gas and you discovered a species composed of up to 60% water willingly slave away for clean access. Insanity.

Stranger than fiction though, we can all start boiling our tap water to reduce up to 90% of microplastics (phys.org). Seems like the cosmic jokes on us. Good thing I guess that we’re boiling our planet alive, that way the ultra rich doomsday-prepped assholes who have allowed this design to come to fruition will have everything they want after the manufactured cataclysm wipes the rest of us out.

TLDR; I went off on a tinfoiled rant.

Clearly Suicide Squad has fallen short of consumer expectations.

Strike 2 and 3, those are beyond your control. Don’t even bother engaging trolls even to diffuse them, they’re only interested in popping off. 1, 4 and 6 seem decent. Also remember to just keep in keeping on, some folk just want to cause mayhem and discord.

I can see how what you and I described may seem different but it’s in reducing the concept I described to absurdity that derives what you’re talking about. Because it’s true, people use familiarity as an attempt to undermine another. I try to emphasize the good in life but it’s important to recognize that it’s not all roses and rainbows, it’s shit and dirt too.

I mildly rolled my ankle getting off the toilet Wednesday morning and I’m just now putting my full weight on it (old people problems amirite?). You sound like an immediate hospital visit bro.

Unrelated your s/o could stand to have more patience for you, unless you being a jackass resulted in your injury. Otherwise it might be time to evaluate your relationship. How someone treats you while your sick, injured or incapacitated in any other form, gives great insight into the quality of your bond.

The pictures are sobering. Knowing that you will likely die ugly but proceeding due course is a look that masks can’t hide.

If a disaster occurred during tourist season aid would pour in, of course no one cares about the actual residents in the absence of wealthy foreigners

The worst part is how prevalent this is across every industry imaginable. Anything remotely advantageous to humanity is and will continue to be second to profit.

Not just women but anyone who has suffered any sort of abuse can act very similarly and for the same reasons. On such a large scale it would seem to implicate that would be the case. I offer a different opinion.

Hierarchy.

People like the things they see themselves in others. If, as we are starting to learn about this group of supporters is that it’s all projection. This person is literally telegraphing who they are and what they feel about things, these supporters are eating it up because that’s who they are as well. What could be ascribed to the reaction of the abused I would counter it is because that’s who these supporters simply are are.

These people will line up behind a meat grinder so long as they get a turn at the crank and everyone else be fed in.
