TomorrowsNewsToday
Been watching Falzone for years. Love the guy

True excerpt for the literal rise of fascism and the rapid warming of the planet which is already killing people.
NewProtectorate
Yeah but people keep DOING THINGS
RibbonDye
Try being the good instead of looking for it. That way you'll see it every day when you look in the mirror.
TheGodOfTacos
We dont do that here

But I like being scared and depressed.

It's all lies.
AlGoreSexTape
"There is plenty of good in people" and "the world is bad right now and on the verge of becoming much, much worse" are both true statements
RyanAndTheQuestForWorldDomination
You could LITERALLY say that about basically every single point in human history. As far as “verge of becoming worse” goes thats nothing new
MeisPip
Except for Venezuela right now

You better not turn on the news or read a newspaper then ‘cause I got news for you
IAmACyberneticOrganismLivingTissueOverEndoskeleton
The world isnt shittier than 100 or 200 years ago, youre just more aware of it because of mass media.
Koga90
It takes a special kind of retard to live in european countries have the easiest life in the entirety of human history and still bitch
AOCsUnshavenChode
human condition dude. like Brie Larson talking about how incredibly hard it is being a woman in Hollywood. 0 perspective
MyTrueIdiotSelf990
Wow, congrats dude on having a nice, safe little corner of the planet for yourself, but plenty of people are experiencing a lot of bad and-
MyTrueIdiotSelf990
whether or not you're aware of it doesn't make it any less true. But "fuck them" I guess, right?
AOCsUnshavenChode
this pro starving kids in africa argument is the opposite of you usually hear on here
Cuckoldcameraman
Also, this guy is hilarious! Look him up on YouTube and around
OtterAvalanche
I remember seeing him back in the sourcefed days. Weird to see him here on imgur
edogap
He and Steve Zaragoza are also the hosts of the hilarious podcast, Dynamic Banter.
palmo
Ignoring the bad things in life because they don't directly affect you doesn't stop them from harming other people. Yes there is good, (1
palmo
But there's an unacceptable amount of bad as well. Trying to change that through action and voting isn't helped by people with their heads(2
palmo
In the sand or up their own asshole. Be outraged, don't let it change what kind of good you put into the world. (3
jerkittoanything
No
Entartika
We live in the best moment of human existence so far, and we complain and bitch so much.
iMuteMorons
We live in the most rapidly changing time the world has even seen. There's a lot of be anxious about and mental health issues are rising.
AOCsUnshavenChode
to OP's point, data show there are positive relationships between time spent online and depression/anxiety.
PassiveAggressiveHotdogVendor
Humanity has a number of important hurdles to deal with in the near future, we cannot ignore them just because things are good now.
Pryotra
Yes and no. Just because there is still good in the world doesn't mean that the world is unbroken and at peace. Shit still gets fucked.
ItsjustDog
Plus for the first time in recorded history the average IQ is on a steady decline.. Anyone want some Brawndo?

Statistically this is the most peaceful era of humanity ever recorded... Bad things happen but I think we should cut us some slack.

Nuclear weapons exist and climate change is threatening mass extinction within less than a century. Fuck no, it's not peaceful.

Nobody’s saying blinded by optimism cause everyone is constantly constantly screaming about the bad. You can’t even look online these days.
scratchimo1
The world (environment) is actually pretty shit and the apocalypse might be nearer than we think. But you know, enjoy it while ya can!
TongueTiedLabourerfromtheLandoftheLittlePeople
"Some of the impacts include the altering of ecosystems (with a few extinctions), threat to food production and water supplies /
TongueTiedLabourerfromtheLandoftheLittlePeople
/due to extreme weather, and the dislocation of human communities due to sea level rise and other climate factors. /
TongueTiedLabourerfromtheLandoftheLittlePeople
/Taken together these hazards also exacerbate other stressors such as poverty"

MadeAnAccountJustToFavouriteThis
Yeah nah
MadeAnAccountJustToFavouriteThis
I'm all for the protection of the environment and acknowledging that it's fucking urgent but it's no where near apocalypse levels.
LordofSandvich
Unpopular opinion but technically true. It depends what you define as apocalypse
LordofSandvich
Trash islands, 10x accelerated climate change, pollution, abnormally high extinction rates - but we've endured far, far worse as a planet
alsoAzrael
As a planet? Sure! Shit, earth didn't used to be capable of ANY life! But, as a species.... we might be in trouble.
allthesameisawitfirst
People expect some obvious Hollywood style ‘apocalypse’. Collapse is a slow process, not a spectacular event. It’s already underway.
Rhythmaster
Yeah it's not gonna be like the Michael Bay movie (some ppl really think that???) But bad chain reactions are already happening
malikcarr
malikcarr
in the global sense. I mean Florida's totally gone but who cares, it's been underwater for most of Earth's history and IMO belongs there.
disabledwerewolf
I think rising sea levels is just one factor. Higher global temperature is a huge issue for food production.
malikcarr
Yes, it'll significantly increase the amount of usable freshwater which is currently locked in polar areas. The reason why megafauna like->
malikcarr
dinosaurs and those sharks the size of buses could exist was because of the incredible biodiversity during Earth's last hot and wet period.
disabledwerewolf
Ok that's great that megafauna benefited, but I wasn't talking about extinct species. And I'm pretty sure we won't >>
GlassCannon570
It’s not the end of the world. Things are just going to get harder. Much harder. We did a very human thing getting us into this mess 1/2
GlassCannon570
, so now we must do a very human thing to get through it. 2/2
Pinaplewapi
This is why i dont think i wanna have kids :(
scratchimo1
Same. Gonna get my balls clipped and adopt if I feel the paternal instinct kick in
Pinaplewapi
Hey at least we get to be the last humans to walk the earth before it all goes down so theres that
Crooki
Go plant some trees then nerd!
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
We’re past that point. You can plant a tree in every spot on the planet possible and it won’t be enough.
Crooki
Scientific evidence to prove your point? Otherwise that's purely an opinion.
Crooki
Still proves the point of bitching without action lul..
ImHereToExplainTheJoke
I believe in putting the blame on those responsible. And the vast majority of the problem lays with big corporations, not individuals.

NewProtectorate
Nope. Doing fine. Will continue to be doing fine long after you and I are gone, friend.
scratchimo1
Well fine is a pretty human centered concept and by apocalypse I mean the breakdown and destruction on a catastrophic scale
Rhythmaster
Ecosystems are gonna collapse, and the carbon cycle is way out of wack, which will kill off or harm many species including us, that's fine?
NewProtectorate
We are hilariously over-estimating our effect on climate. Has been fluctuating wildly regardless of our "interference" for millions of yrs
Rhythmaster
For example if just the bees died off, we would all die basically right away because our crops wouldnt get pollinated.
PepsiForTVGame
This. Too much net time could have you think everybody is a frothing racist or thinks there's 9001 genders. Normal people don't shout it.
thelonepig
I mean, you're pretty much in control over what you choose to view online. It's not the net time, it's how you use it. Same w/real life.
HiddenSanity
Did you hear they're bringing back 'New Coke'?
goatamon
Yep. If you live on the internet, pretty soon you’ll think everyone is a lunatic. In reality, the lunatics are a minority.
RydWolf
Then why the hell are they in charge of the country?!
retroman688
Your gender count - it's over 9000....
buttersidedowntoast
I work at a University. The real world is pretty scary too. It's like they brought the internet outside with them.
CrrtCks
Depends what you're looking at/interacting with
TongueTiedLabourerfromtheLandoftheLittlePeople
definitelynotaseagull
More worried about conservation of the planet. That ain't going so great.
alsoAzrael
I hate the "x genders" thing because it's not a left-wing idea. Nobody on the left has numbered them like that, neither has any law. It's 1/
alsoAzrael
just a meme from the right intended to de-legitimize people who aren't gender-conforming. It's conformist propaganda. 2/2
OrionRed
I know, right?!
wotwotwotwotwat
Yeah my step mum never gets stuck in awkward places, the internet is lies
FlyingMonkeyButt
Seriously, who the duck came up with that as a legitimate thing? Are they finally running out of new ideas
wotwotwotwotwat
I know right, sex, when will it end
cantthinkofonebutok
Tbh they work for me
NateintheNorth
The one with the lady under the coffee table? Idk why, not proud of it, but...
cantthinkofonebutok
Yellow dress? Yeah. NEVER fails
sticksosteel
Oddly enough, maybe we just need to put more good on the net. Mr Pucket gives me a whole different feeling about being on the net. It’s wild
alsoAzrael
The reason there's so much bad on the net is very simple: wholesome things are boring. They don't get clicks.
Akyan
This, and anonimity gives ppl courage to be their worst selves since there's little to no repercussion
alsoAzrael
That too. You know very well if you talked to some of the nastiest people in person they'd be way more civil. :D
thisisagreatusernamedontworryitswonderful
Unfortunately my sister is one of those people banging on the systematic oppression of everyone by white people and the gender stuff. Fun
alsoAzrael
I know it's crazy when people think slavery, redlining, jim crow, gentrification, and black names not getting callbacks are all real... /s
thisisagreatusernamedontworryitswonderful
I never said there was never oppression, but to say "white people" as a whole, rather than bad actors creating a zeitgeist is the cause >
thisisagreatusernamedontworryitswonderful
Paints the problem in a way that is not representative of the issues at hand. It's a lazy, agenda-driven solution
thisisagreatusernamedontworryitswonderful
Also, if you wanna hold people accountable for ancestors actions, I believe Egyptians need a shitting on for enslaving the jews
Webel
Listen with an open heart.
thisisagreatusernamedontworryitswonderful
I do, but I also have a lot of training in biology, and a lot of statements don't mesh very well with what we know
coolcalx
If you think gender is related to biology, you need to pay attention better. Sex and gender refer to different things entirely
thisisagreatusernamedontworryitswonderful
Oh man. This is a lot to unpack here. The fact this statement is so supported without challenge does not sit well with me.
Webel
Constantly being undermined for not having a sticky out organ has nothing to do with biology.
