outside needs a 10 lane highway and strip malls, and no sidewalks.
Also the strip mall is all closed.
and the flags are all dead at the top of their poles
And they’ve chained off the parking lot.
And the highway is littered with potholes.
And everything has cilantro on it!
I think interacting with the natural world is good for us, almost regardless of the state of the environment.
My back yard is a complete disaster right now because it’s essentially an active construction zone where my kid and multiple dogs play every day.
But if I wander outside, play some fetch, stare at some trees and clouds, listen to the birds, and feel the sun on my skin, it does some subtle subconscious stuff for the better for sure. It’s even a little bit of exercise.
Ain’t this the fuckin truth
No it’s fucking not!
Yes, climate change is real and getting worse but you can go outside still and enjoy yourself. It’s not the waste land depicted here in most places, yet.
Unfortunately it’s primarily those places where most people live that are the most destroyed ones. You have to be able to travel some distance to enjoy nature (or the managed green lands we call “nature” these days).
I could just walk but my lazy ass is always on the terminal.

As the old joke goes:
Do tech companies understand consent?
[Yes] [Ask again later]Or more often now, Y/Pay

Librewolf my beloved.
For me it’s “Yes” - makes the website think I got them but my computer‘s like “Heh. Nah.”

* Poorly regulated capitalism
While I agree with you, I think it’s also the inevitable end state. I don’t think we can forever win the battle of regulation against the corporations. It would mean having people in power continuously doing the right thing and not being swayed by money.
No, it would mean the people taking back the power and holding their representatives accountable, stringing them up when they capitulate to capital.
Yes, in theory democracy would be the stop gap.
But it turns out that democracy is only as good as the education and understanding of the public. I’m losing faith in that, as many many people have shown that they can’t mature past mental teenagers.
@surewhynotlem @DisgruntledGorillaGang the education that was eroded as planned by conservatives. Its the easiest thing. Brainwash the public, and make sure that actual smart people are mocked and ignored. Then bring in more putrid trash like fox news to solidify false beliefs. Sprinkle on some llm slop disinformation . and you have fascism.
People who support anarchy don’t seem to realize that a representative democracy is exactly their goal, and we’re currently seeing how that plays out.
Yeah. I never understood the anarchy thing. Every definition of anarchy that I’ve come across, which admittedly is not all of them, just seems to boil down to “people will do the right thing”. But they don’t. And they also ignore the fact that people outside the group will band together and do the wrong thing and take over your group.
Guess it’s time to destroy that, too.
The ‘we’ is doing a lot of heavy lifting here.
Yeah, it’s mostly just Americans ruining everything.
American here, how did I ruin the internet?
By having your computer shipped to you, mostly.
Wot? Doesn’t pretty much everyone in the world have their computer shipped to them? Unless they live outside the Computer Factory
I think you meant to write “billionaires”
Better to stay indoors and doomscroll through the Internet!
Oh wait…
I just close my eyes and replay MASH reruns.

I hate how true þis is.
We ruined spelling too!
Can we stop trying to bring dead letters back?
Bro oh my god you may be the cringiest internet user I’ve ever holy shit
In case anyone were wondering, this would be how the comic would look if AI draw it
For the love of fuck can you just fuck off already?
Ohh definitely a troll, I see.
No one but you is ever fucking wondering that, ever. Keep your slop to yourself.
Lol did you get yourself banned from almost every major instance so you had to go and make an alt as well? Sad.
I see you made your own community for comics ran through AI with no attribution. That’s the nice thing about federation. Maybe keep your interactions to your 15 member community where it’s “wanted”?
I am not banned from .world.
I got banned from lemmus, thou.
