Whatever this was, ROUND 2

Sorry it’s stupid and so obvious but every time I come back I experience anew the decadence of the middle to upper class American way the absolute relative ease and comfort of life here compared to almost anywhere else in the world. Like of course people aren’t voting conscientiously or getting vaccinated or living and using resources responsibly they care only about preserving all their precious conveniences and comforts for as long as they’re alive and have no fear of anything bad ever reallly happening to them. Even though it does, in the form of things like car accidents, firearm accidents, a financially ruinous injury or illness, etc. But otherwise they live in a dream. No wars will ever wash ashore here. No bombs no nukes no Ebola. Shit’s crazy

you're not making enough of stone fruit season. that's another thing you're fucking up. a few dozen stone fruit seasons you get your whole life. you need to take a hard look at your peach and mango consumption.

also afterwards everyone who was talking about their cool bunker fantasies were like "Damn, Devin's right, we should also be considering helping people around us." which is the only recorded instance of a retail shift making people better human beings.

think I've been mildly cursed by a witch

my friends and I have created a game we call Quipposting, where you play quiplash but you roll a wheel full of character archetypes, and whatever it lands on, you all answer as if you are like, a wizard or cowboy. This legitimately makes quiplash go from a fun enough game to an S+ tier absolute unabashed banger

the best characters are Mafia Goon, Cyberpunk Hacker, Castle Guard, Sewer Rat, 16th Century Peasant, and Alien Poorly Pretending to be Human

OP we desperately need examples

What I mean to say is that it's very easy to delude yourself into believing you are more in tune with your environment when your environment is not actively hostile to your existence in every conceivable way

in the future humans will have something called "sinus button " and pressing it will immediately drain your sinuses of all fluid so that it can be filled with other things like rocks, webs, paint, tar, freef (new fluid that will be so important in that time) and also dr papper

pride month is almost over I would just like to say happy pride to boring LGBTQ people in particular. everyone expects us to be brilliant creatives and scientists and interior decorators and quirky professors and tortured artists but some of us wear nothing but Kirkland Signature clothing and watch Friends and The Office and are incapable of having an interesting conversation and that is okay. our diversity is our strength.

This is what the footage of people from abroad exploring America during the World Cup has made me think of, I need to get out of my depressed 12 year old boy incapable of experiencing joy mindset, you have to love the place and people around you to want to help.

YOU have got to get in that Scottish guy experiencing Boston for the first time mindset, you have got to summon that 50 year old Japanese man in DC with 5 of his closest friends type of love for the world.

also I don't think parents "these days" are uniquely terrible, I just think neglect is showing up in new ways as technology progresses. today's ipad kid would've been wandering around in a ditch alone all day and night before. parents not wanting to have to deal with children is not a new phenomenon.

Love how the kid accepts death but is so shocked to learn that everybody else also will die
