the pandemic making people realize - oh shit they can just grind all this to a halt with the push of a button

the recent election frauds / riots / etc in the US, global warming / severe weather increasing, capitalism getting more and more ruthless, everything sucks more and costs more…

it feels so weird that it’s 2023 and we still care about dress codes or professionalism, at the same time. because it sort of feels like we’re in the beginning of a movie waiting for the bad thing to happen

    I’ll tell you a secret, it has always felt like the end of the world is coming. It’s been a constant throughout history. People will always look around and say “well this whole thing is all going to hell”. This will never change and it has more to do with individual human psychology than the state of society.

      My parents disagree. When they were my age everything was optimistic, except for some half imagined boogeyman of the cold war, which no one cared about day to day.

      Today is worse for more people.

        Now we have cops that think they are in a war with society. They steal, lie, murder and kidnap people just to buy more weapons to use against us. We are the new boogeymen.
