Never mind, I read your moderation history, you are absolutely a troll or someone in dire need of medication. Thou art a scourge upon written media and I hope you get permanently banned from not just this platform, but all possible platforms. Perhaps sealed inside some kind of stasis crystal and shot into deep space.

I personally hate “Proton” therapy

This was your top comment in this thread, you have successfully confused everyone and I am about to assume you’re trolling.

So why do you hate cancer treatment?

No, I’m saying there won’t BE any oil or coal, at least not easily accessible, most of what we use now comes from unimaginably deep in the crust using very advanced technology.

We needed fossil fuels to make the leap from iron-age tech to industry, another species or civilization MIGHT be able to do it without easy access to efficient fuel sources, but it would be a huge handicap.

They’re massively performative and make the plebs and cretins who think politics is WWF theater feel like things are happening. They can be hugely destructive and cause massive repercussions, but they’re not as long-reaching and permanent as actual policies and bills being passed through house and senate.

Same, I’ve been scoffed at, mocked, people have thought I’m making it up and am just creeped out by the “mold” in the stuff.

And like, bruh… I fucking LOVE cheese, almost every cheese short of the stuff with the live maggots, nor all forms of bleu cheese. Because the smell and taste reminds me of waking up in a tent in the woods when my family was homeless and there were ants crawling all over us. I get the same association with truffles and most mushrooms too, so I cannot eat truffle-anything.

I want to see a MCU series that just follows around mutants with helpful but mostly benign mutant powers or powers that can’t really be used in fights. Like every-day people who can do almost fantastic things like always know what time it is without looking at a clock or never needs to use the bathroom.

What manner of insanity is this about now

They’re each made of three little “things” connected to each other that each have three potential properties that go in two different “directions” giving them very complicated behavior with each other, and if you try to pry the little things apart to see what they’re made of, more little things pop into existence so you can never isolate them. And yes, every subatomic particle has wave and particle-like properties but it’s not correct to say they’re either one or the other, or that they’re both. They’re not even locally real and don’t really exist in one place.

This message has been brought to you by Reality™, it’s fucking weird.

My body is like my temple, the dip in the side of my head. My temple hurts because of stress.

On that same note, 86.4% of people who cite statistics, are usually using them wrong or just making them up completely.

We cannot undo it, at this point it’s too set-in, it’s like an oily turd that’s now seeped into the woodgrain of our society. The only way forward is to accelerate it until it ignites. We have to push on it.

We have to tell everyone that we would NEVER risk touching another person NOR ourselves, if we wish to remain proud, strong, heterosexual, masculine. Even wearing clothes, the fabric may have been handled by female factory workers, we must encourage real men to never wear clothes. Real men would never enter a home either, feeeemales may have been in almost every home ever made, so they must also be avoided lest fem-particles invade your body.

The only way to truly be a Real Man™ is to live naked in the woods, isolated, unwashed, eating bugs (genderless, asexual ones like stick insects only) and never letting your hands touch your body.

I used to roll my eyes when older people said that time keeps repeating, that everything happens over and over again.

Then I got old and started seeing everyone making the same damn mistakes over and over and over again, the same events recycling but with new actors, people not learning from the past, not working together, not writing things down so we don’t forget, and yeah, I DO get it now. The adult blackpill is a lot darker and more bitter than the one you swallow when you’re an irate teen who thinks the world owes you something. I would love to go back in time and have that energy again.

In my years, I’ve lost a home, two cars, four careers, buried 5 close family members including parents and a sibling. Been an alcoholic, recovered. Had severe depression. Recovered. Had Nearly lost my partner to illness and helped her learn to walk and eat again. Been so broke a few times that I was stealing water from construction sites so we could flush our toilet. Laid to rest a dozen beloved pets. Said goodbye more times than hello.

I’m back on my feet, starting over. Again. A little wiser, a little more battered and scarred up, a lot more tired. Missing a few teeth and all my hair, but still going.

The world right now is a massive mess, don’t get me wrong. We’re in real trouble. But at this point I don’t think anything short of an actual band of raiders with halberds chasing me down through the woods is going to end this ride for me. At this rate, might happen.

Eventually, if human civilization develops again.

All the religious books will be completely different and contain a lot of wacky stories describing the “now” times. All the science books will be the same.

I don’t think Earth has enough time for a whole new intelligent species to evolve though. In the amount of time it would take for our continents to subside back into Earth’s crust and new landmass to emerge so a new species will have access to surface minerals to build a new industrial age (without oil this time, so already challenging enough) we will probably be facing the end of the carbon cycle on Earth anyway and there will probably be almost no biosphere left. This will happen either way, so it’s not like this is some kind of environmental message, we just need to be aware that sure, Earth will go on, but we still very well might be “it” for not just Earth, but for all we know the whole universe.

Now?

This cycle of republicans wrecking the world, then democrats quietly, meekly fixing the mess after like a battered wife, it goes way back.

I hate that now I have to reframe all the history stories I’ve ever been fascinated by, now that I know how easily we discard reality as an entire species just for no fuckin reason. Now that I know exactly how dumb we all are as a collective, I have to apply critical thinking to every epic story about wars and kingdoms and great deeds. Even the ones with “valid” historic records are very likely pure bullshit covering up the most stupid goddamn things imaginable.

Hannibal crossing the alps? Probably was total BS. No elephants, probably didn’t even do it himself, probably wasn’t the alps, it was probably some row of hills behind Hannibal’s golf course.
