Man I’m having an issue finding encounters of the spooky kind 2 and got to a max of 17.6%…

I’m honestly contemplating just finding somewhere to download from manually at this point.
Shockingly my SO suggested they found it free on the criterion collection and that… Might be the biggest chad move I’ve seen.

Yeah, straight up disagree.
People are not individually brilliant, we are the result of hundreds of generations of iteration and resilience. No one has built and started from zero even people like me that avoids others.

People are not superheroes, they aren’t individual creators they are at the new end point of the neverending colony.

But the individual will always let you down. They are not as perfect or incredible as our beliefs in them.

Humanity can be incredible, but humans sucks.

You say as dozens of foaming mouth lemmings pile on thinking themselves somehow as good for being this ingrained in their group think.

In other words, yeah, totally agree.

Also just googled it and Michelle King was born in 1958 making her 67 years old.

Hyperbole but the average age of the senate is 64 years old.

The baby boomer and silent generation holds 294 seats in the US congress at about 55% of the Congress. The only reason the average is low is because of the bulk of 40 year old Republicans and the oldest members finally dying off. GEN X has been a larger swath of seats than they would care to admit.

While millennials make up 25% of the US population they just recently made up only 5% of congress.

The youngest members of the boomer generation where born just as Hawaii became the 50th state. Nearly half of Congress can remember as a kid when there was only 48 states.

The point is that people in power are incredibly out of touch with modern existence and have been disproportionately protecting their positions and keeping younger generations from coming in. Yes they might not literally all be as old as WW2 but some of them literally are.

To insinuate that younger generations have not grabbed for higher positions is disingenuous to the reality of the world.

Yeah it’s a shame must of us weren’t born before WW2 ended or we might have been able to have a seat at the table.

No, it’s far more important to step aside.
Remember there are always 2 parties involved in any bullying and it’s on the victim to know when to step away, roll over, and let the bully do whatever they want cause otherwise it causes a scene.

While humanity can be incredible and beautiful to look at from a distance…
Humans, tend to fucking suck.

I’m still confused

What?

I know when I say something inflammatory the response I will get, but I don’t let it stop me from changing my view, and I intend to converse to further share and understand information.

I’m an asshole, not a hypocrite.

I do like the idea of a map.

We have colonized the Internet it’s probably about time we start making a map for those that follow.

While not necessarily about the upvotes I find the users here are still very much about being Right™ or trying to be the most liked and therefore the most conformed to their community.

The updoots may not matter but people for sure act like they do or want them to.

Literally in this thread is another person calling it too left and another calling it too right.
You notice the things you don’t like more. Political ideology is always going to have a spread the problem is the argumentative user base and user self superiority.

Then I guess make sure you don’t talk to yourself.

A lot of users here prefer a desktop environment that’s only command line.

Apparently wanting even a GUI puts you in a minority on Lemmy.

Ah Lemmy. Still full of comments from smug assholes pretending their lack of sonder is the good kind, and if they don’t understand something it’s cause it’s worthless and pointless while their knowledge is the most important.

Yeah, there are other reasons than the UX/UI and the screenshot even shows it.

Who is we? Lots of places do communal bath houses. Japan has an entire industry around it. Mass transit is also highly prevalent.

Yes there will always be some level of individual desire to do things or need in some cases but communal projects are useful and common I don’t get the dismissal of that for energy creation something we long ago figured out was better to be done at scale and distributed after.

This is neoliberalism and treating it like it’s the only way to exist. It’s a failure of consideration or imagination. Either way your take is not right for that.

Hell yeah. I do Thursdays and man people remember to come to me on Thursday.
