Ah the therapist where it’s more like you are paying to have a friend you can have meaningful conversations about life with while they mostly try to gaslight you to be happy. The majority of them.

Well bigger than their thumb for sure.

And do you really want to survive after a nuclear blast decimates the area and rains radiation down upon you?
When a nuke goes off I personally want to be as close to 0 I can be to it or on the opposite side of the planet. That’s it.

Likely they are in range of the sonic boom that will deafen them and shatter the house at best and the resulting vacuum would create a fire storm that sucks in, to a horrible inferno. If you see the blast it’s too late for most things but never to late to shout:
Opa! And throw some plates.

Ah man as a Buddhist I just can’t fish. I get that this is not to kill them but I still have to jam a piece of sharp metal into it to pull it up in the violently real world.
Why can’t I just use a cute letter and hug instead?

Hey! At least it’s not like they just finished washing the dishes.

Just Greek wedding those things and find a cool pose to get vaporized in.

God damn it.

I think we just have a surprising amount of political staffers in Lemmy. The bulk does seem to be wealthy people living in suburbs. Look at how the biggest groups are people self hosting thousands and thousands of dollars of equipment.

You can’t sell people the stress of getting better but you can sell them a dream that they don’t have to.

Yeah I hear a lot of people asking why it matters if someone has their data cause it must be worthless by now.
I often think the governments wouldn’t be fighting this hard to track people if it was.

Ahh man it’s been on the rewatch list for some time and like there is like 20 different disasters happening on earth in that movie. I don’t know if they specifically call it out but I mean wildfires, blights, and shutdown of governments… It feels like the reason they don’t call it out is why bother at that point.
But you might be right that they just call out symptoms and leave it at that. It’s shockingly anti science while on earth.

It’s not a fictional disease. They stopped crop rotations as the soil became too fucked up so everyone is using the same GMO corn but because they are identical they are susceptible to the same disease and it can spread rapidly.

This has happened to lots of crops like bananas and is currently happening again.

The beginning of the movie is people trying to just play their baseball game around a sandstorm getting annoyed at scientists for telling them the world is ending to the point where NASA is in hiding.

Not fictional. Likely reality without the, us getting lucky enough to shoot McConaughey through a wormhole bit.

Just like birds are born with wings but it does not make them able to fly, humans have the capacity for empathy but it doesn’t mean it’s complete from birth.

Things need to be cultivated and let grow.
No one and nothing starts at complete. And this is something that we as a society need to learn again.

I’m glad you found space to grow.

There is only 3 uses of the word there actually. The location, the animal, and the act of bullying or pushing others.

So it’s locational buffalo are also bullying Buffalo buffaloes who happen to also bully Buffalo buffalo beneath them.

Oh yeah they do. Have you heard:
Buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo buffalo buffalo Buffalo buffalo.

Some days you are strong enough to carry it. Others it’s all you can do to just keep dragging it forward to not stop moving.
It’s an aspect of you that may never have a key for, I thought I would get mine from an apology but instead it just changed the shape of the weight, and changed how I carry it.

You just can’t let it be all you focus on and don’t let others designate how you carry on. They can’t carry it for you only help, and the help may not always be there.

To all the others with your baggage to carry, I wish you cheers, good health and tears, may you never forget what it means to be human and stop feeling.

I wonder if it is more used by people that don’t want to accept suffering as a base for all humans cause the only people that repeat that phrase to me are ones that don’t want to make allowances for hurt people to exist in their world.

Yeah, I mean my morals are based on thinking about what my parents would do and then always choosing to do something else.
I was given a blueprint of what the worst people look like and do but it’s what I got as my history to rely on for my future.

I don’t have the time to just dump all those years and the pain just because I want to be as ignorant to its possibility as others are and relearn existence. The ability to change is possible but that doesn’t work on the past. It’s truth is what shaped me into the person I am today I can change how I respond to it only.

Gen X is the generation that got just enough from their boomer and silent Gen parents that they don’t really care to change anything and keep up the system but pretend they hate it.

They act like they are separated and completely uninvolved but they are the last generation to have a semblance of a nice thing and they won’t rock the boat. Especially now that they are getting more of the positions their parents held.

They may pretend they aren’t here, but they are, and pretending they stuck to themselves and they don’t do anything that impacts others is just wishful thinking on their part.

For you. Specify for you.

I really liked the joke where as the city is filling with lava he still can’t stop himself from shouting “Whee!” As he jumps from object to object, and that wouldn’t exist if it stopped at 3 panels.

The artist made what they made. Your opinion is fine but use it to make something new then.

You need to educate yourself on why this is offensive!

Gross. What a demeaning response.

You know I can see you talking down to me like it’s a kindness. Just doesn’t make you seem better by default.
