  • i'm so glad that the lemmy community keeps me in check when i drink too much and start talking like that guy on the corner..

    i THINK i was trying to say that if shit hits the fan, nobody is going to care about all this shit. people are stirring up stupid shit because they're bored and ignored and undervalued and underestimated. brothers and sisters would quickly resolve thanksgiving dinner argument issues if they ever needed to actually kill and cook a turkey together.

    edit - unless i'm mistaken, the rapture isn't actually a thing.

  • the addiction thing is crazy to me now, because i grew up with substances that were addictive. substances don't really change that much. but the idea of trying to defend against addictions to tech that's literally evolving to keep you addicted. i can't imagine what would happen to my alcohol recovery if they ever issued an "update" that de-buffs hangovers.

    young people are being given a really bad deal right now. they're being intentionally uneducated, overstimulated, and constantly provoked for "engagement". it's horrifying to me when i try to put myself in their shoes.

  • you say "get back", so i don't necessarily feel awkward asking how old you are. so approx. old are you if you don't mind me asking? i'm an old guy now, and i'm always thinking about how young people are processing all of this information now. my gen was warned, but we definitely weren't ready for it. i can't imagine what it's like to be born in the midst of it all. but the kids are alright. of this i'm sure.
