Considering it’s also in the water, probably not, no.

I’m low-key annoyed that the article links to part 3 of the series but not part 1.. Who does that??

So here’s part 1 if anyone wants to read it

No signs, you hear it. It’s audible.

Do you have any citations for that?

I’m not saying you are wrong, because I’m open to new information, but that’s not ever been my understanding of how evolution works, and I’ve read a ton on the topic.

Evolution continues even if a species doesn’t obviously change over time. Unless it’s an asexual reproducing species, gene recombination ensures some level of diversity, and more opportunity for novel traits. But even a clonally reproducing species have a chance for mutations, they are just significantly more likely to be detrimental than useful.

They don’t care about any of that, silly.

They just need to make sure they harm enough POC for the month. Get there, golden.

That’s the exact memory I have as well. Grainy.

I also don’t blame them because sometimes that’s the only real dopamine hit they get from their entire month’s paycheck.. and that’s wildly depressing.

I’ve become an insufferable media companion in much the same way.

I see all the plot devices, I see all the tropes, especially the harmful ones and those I disagree with perpetuating. I see all the bad faith arguments and egregious illogic..

It’s frustrating for everyone involved. Wish it wasn’t so, but.. when you realize there are indeed boogeymen, you see them in the shadows because that’s where they hang out.

Claymation nudity strikes again!

I browse by new to help start the conversation (one comment is enough to get people to click it), but it’s not a good way to find it actively happening.

If you sort by top of the last 1 or 6 hours you’ll probably have better results. Those are still pretty new but much more active conversation wise.

For me, in addition to all those other things, it’s that even most “good” companies are abusive, so there’s no escape. It’s just “how much abuse are you willing to put up with to work here?”, rather than “this place isn’t abusive”, and I can’t do that roulette anymore.

I’m taking some time off to reassess everything. Maybe in 6 months of absolutely minimal living (to coast on savings) I’ll feel better about it, but with the way things are racing downhill and picking up speed, I’m not optimistic.

Pretty sure it’s already here, just not as flashy and futuristic as we were expecting. Just sort of boring and tiring, trying to get through the day as it burns around us.

That’s why everyone knows what “this is the worst timeline” means.
