And if this somehow fails impress you, we sold over 200 billion in tools of mass murder to the rest of the world last year alone as well!

Murica 🇺🇸, profiting off human misery since our inception, the British Empire apparently passed that torch.

If you did, you’d almost certainly have been taught some bullshit revisionist fiction showing friendly US officials probably eating with the Lingít people and teaching them how to do what the Lingít excelled at.

Honestly given the indignity, it’s probably better they aren’t mentioned in our K-12 “history”

Incremental change would have been fine in the 1970s when the world should have instituted it, including incrementally reducing industry to absolute necessities like medical products, and individual developed world quality of life, to find homesotasis with our only habitat.

Now it’s smash the factories today, and accept the hundreds of millions dead breaking those poisonous supply chains, including possibly ourselves, for humanity to have any non-nightmarish future on a planet we terraformed to be hostile towards Human life for the next couple million yers.

But having absolutely failed to institute incremental change half a century ago despite warning, and absolutely failing to take drastic action now that we are just beginning to feel our irreversible fine work, our species clearly and resolutely chooses no future/nightmare susbsistance future, or at the very least there wouldn’t be a pop figure/pointless plastic crap factory left standing in the world. 🔥🤷‍♂️🔥

What I find the most ridiculous is what we’re doing: resolutely choosing death by actions, while still strangely preaching hope for a future. WuT a weird fucking species we were.

Pew pew Murica Pew Pew.

This is who we are, and the world should judge us accordingly for our unrepentant murderous barbarism thinly masked as “freedumb.”

Don’t worry my fellow Americans, our only practiced cultural value, greed, won’t be injured by the latest mass shooting, it makes private gun manufacturer stocks go up, which is of course the meaning of existence.

Ah yes, more of that voluntary nature of capitalism they like to crow about.

In 100-200 years, this will be humanity’s legacy.

The treatment.

Cures don’t create dependency on the ones that sold the sickness.

Ah thank you for the clarification! Sorry socials can be hostile places didn’t mean to take that the most hostile way.

You make it sound as if I’m the one that brought Starfield up out of nowhere in relation to Skyrim/TE6.

Why sadly?

They get clicks, their viewers get off, everyone wins.

I always find it peculiar and proof of self-hatred that humans are so averse and judgemental about reveling in our sexuality.

It’s a major part of who we all are, whether we choose to deny that or not. Cultures and world religions always run by monied interests would prefer we spend our time miserable collecting more for their dragon hoard piles as they live in hyper-decadent debauchery, and most of us have been too fucked in the head with sexual and “don’t be laaaazy” shame to be fixable, but humanity would have been so much happier if we spent less time sacrificing ourselves to the God of economic metastasis and more time fucking, especially in an age of birth control.

We might not even have put ourselves on the express lane to self-extinction we’re currently careening down in search of more treasure for the masters.

There would be no more Iran if they did it to Israel.

I know I’m in the minority, but I fucking love Starfield.

It’s a galactic scale zen garden when I need peace.

It’s a shooter/space combat sim when I choose violence.

There’s things that aren’t good about it, it needs so many more factions, followers, and NPC interaction points to fill the fish bowl that’s there, but there’s so much to love too, IMHO.

In a time where MOST major studio games have turned to no effort live service dogshit, I think hating on flawed but grand games like Starfield as just more unsalvagable garbage is just an invitation to studios to keep churning out actual garbage like Suicide Squad since there’s no pleasing modern gamers so don’t bother trying, just lean entirely on an IPs nostalgia.

Much like Facebook, if you participate in LinkedIn, I question your judgement.

I mean, she is a real billionaire.

Americans who got lucky in life have a bad habit of shrugging off the majority that didn’t as somehow irresponsible and not worth considering.

My cousin does this. Looks at you like you’re speaking a foreign language when you say you can’t afford something that would make your life easier like replacing a malfunctioning appliance right now.

Privilege is a bubble of willful ignorance akin to the Republican bubble.

I hear you, and that’s a valid point, but I see that more as a function of our insatiable need for the primary driver of our destruction: growth/metastasis.

Growth is precisely what is destroying us. We need to find homeostasis with this world. We need to slow down, stop expanding supply chains, and work on making what powers these 100% clean first and foremost. Because right now, most electrics are functionally dirty too, their pollution just happens higher up the chain.

We won’t do that of course, because the reality is most people in the developed world need to accept that wasteful things like fast food, ridiculous amounts of meat, and plastic that serves no necessary purpose, everything from pop figures to disposable water bottles available to people with reusable vessels out of convenience, need to be made illegal yesterday if we want our species to have a decent future.

But our creature comforts are more important to us, and we will punish any politicians that try to call for genuine sacrifice. 🔥🤷🔥

It’s a Tesla problem in that it is a bumrushing tech that hasn’t matured for what it’s being used for because profit motive.

And no, if the tech isn’t mature to be both useful AND safe in the event of failure operating in the world, it belongs in the lab, not up for sale.

We shouldn’t be mass producing any vehicles that become bombs/environmental disasters that standard fire and rescue can’t appropriately address with reasonable tools upon crashing, because they inevitably will.

Its a market capitalism problem. Fire, ready, aim because rush the pos to sale. Musk is certainly a standard bearer as a prominent “get government and society’s wellbeing out of the way of my quarterly profit expectations” asshole sociopath capitalist.

No matter how many times Republicans fight to revoke their rights, or disinvite them from their conventions, they just don’t learn Republicans would Holocaust them if they could.

All for what? Because they’re literally more passionate about tax cuts/cheats for rich fuck societal leeches than their very existence being protected in society.
