The US is fucking cooked

I can't help but think this is a phenomenon unique to the US where education has been completely devalued. If the only point of education is to fulfill a requirement to make more money then it makes sense to shortcut as much as possible.

The solution is of course no computer

OMFG! THANK YOU!

I'm so tired of people acting like bad things are good. I know human nature is a prime beacon for chuds, but if we wanna talk about human nature, one of the things that seems so fucking lacking in a majority of people is theory of mind and empathy. It's so ironic, because people talk about how humans "invented" those things, but then they go around and not even do it.

And I know a lot of people do have proper theory of mind and empathy BUT NOT ENOUGH FUCKING PEOPLE agony-consuming

I can understand that "Happy candy land where nothing goes wrong and everyone perfectly understands each other and nobody slights each other in any way" is a day dream, but people treat day dreams like we shouldn't even consider them.

JUST BECAUSE PARADISE IS IMPOSSIBLE DOESN'T MEAN WE SHOULDN'T STRIVE FOR IT. The impossibility or difficulty of good things should never sway us from actually trying to make an effort to achieve them. Sorry for ranting, but I just needed to let that out.

Good post! doggirl-thumbsup

i fw what ur saying immensely. it bugs me when people reject an idea for something they like on the basis that it couldn't happen, like why would they do their opponents' job for them. we gotta ask for what we really want
