They are not getting down-voted into nothingness for refusing to tow the party line.

I appreciate the variety of opinions presented here. Plus (in my experience) the conversation has been civil.

I mean, in their defense the insurance companies finally “woke” up to what a terrible business idea it is to operate in Florida.

I remember talking to an adult about religion when I was in high school, and they straight up told me, "the only reason people are nice to each other is so they can get into heaven, without Jesus, there is no motivation for people to be kind, so we have to spread the gospels."

I was horrified, but all of a sudden, my understanding of the world view for a lot of people just clicked into place

to quote something I just saw earlier:

I was having a good day, we were all having a good day....

now.... no sleep. thanks

It's either the total destruction of all the worlds forests, OR I take a huge financial hit with my unimaginably terrible investment into leaves as currency.

As you can see, by this logic it is ... um ... better for the economy ... that we destroy all the world's forests.

I always love this one, just it sounds so crazy

Ha! I read, and re-read my post at least 3 times and could not figure out why it felt wrong.

It’s still early, I assume it’ll evolve soon enough.

May the gods of the internet bless and watch over you

Right now, because it’s still growing and developing, Lemmy has this sudo-wild west felling to it. Like anything can happen.

This was how things were in the early days of the internet. With no way to know how things are going to turn out, people are just hanging out. Smaller groups interacting with each other, and just having fun.

It feels like a reboot, or a modern revision of the how things were.

Calm down sparky.

Last time I checked we are all stuck here. Unless you have a Planet B that you’re keeping to yourself then we are all in this together.

Ah, but you forget about the rubber band finally snapping. When it is released there will be push back and things will happen quickly.

Now the real question becomes, how much more can we take. I believe we are reaching a tipping point where the uber-rich either help, or are removed. And I think they are starting to see that too.

Who is passing blame?

It’s our fault we are here, it’s our fault this happened, it’s our fault when we are finally gone.

But life itself will adapt, and overcome this obstacle, just like it has countless times before, and will countless times again.

Personally I believe that our lasting impact will be plastics, which will get compressed by time and become the “rocket fuel” of the next species to gain full sentience, which will allow them to explore the galaxy.

Someone had to explain a new slang term to me recently… and about halfway through I just stopped caring.

At least they are consistent with the terrible decision making process

I saw someone wearing these on the train last week.

Could not believe it.

I was under the impression that we, as a society, had decided that was a terrible idea. But I guess all fashion is cyclical.

It was only a matter of time. I mean what else are they supposed to do? Allow other people into the country?!? /s

I mean…. well done? Way to not allow anyone idiot completely fuck everything up.

This is so cool. Thanks for all the memories.
