You cannot AC away climate change. That won't stop the polar ice caps melting, droughts, food and water security becoming worse, wildfires, rising sea levels, floods becoming more frequent, diseases, species dying and migrating, oceans becoming more acidic.
The future sucks.
“Kids these days don’t know any practical skills.”
Somebody from the generation that decided to remove woodshop, auto shop, home economics, and personal finance from public school curriculums in exchange for more practical tests.
It’s not too many people, it’s too few things to do in the parks. Remember, reason the parks feel so crowded these days is because Disney cut so much secondary entertainment over the last 10 years. Live shows, streetmosphere, in-park games, etc. They want you in line or in a shop
The fact there has not been a revolution at this point is unbelievable. The oil industry made a decision to do this and politicians and media allowed them to do it.
They don't want people to figure out that if they just get off their arse they can fix their own community in 2 weeks. They want you to keep paying them taxes so they can fix your community for you. In 3 years. Maybe. Probably not.
Every record has been destroyed or falsified, every book rewritten, every picture has been repainted, every statue and street building has been renamed, every date has been altered.

George Orwell, 1984
I can’t fully explain to younger people how cool the internet used to be. We had open forums, personal websites, weird experimental pages, and chaotic corners of the web, before Amazon, Google, and Meta turned it into a sterile, closed ecosystem of clutter, and commerce.
BREAKING: 5 Amazon Rainforest trees destroyed every second as capitalist economy blocks change away from industrial animal agriculture to accelerate extinction
Some of y’all aren’t scared enough about running out of potable water. We need it to survive, our pets and farms do too. Data centres are using it up and wasting it. They project we could run out by 2039. Thirteen years. Stop asking AI questions, it’s not worth it.
They're letting Social Security fail because they refuse to scrap the cap and make the super-wealthy pay their fair share.
Letting Social Security become insolvent is a choice.

Ah yes, tell me more about how the mainstream media is “far left.”
