I don’t disagree with the sentiment, but antiwork and related pages are full of mis/disinformation that is very misleading and dangerous if large groups are swayed by it. The people there are particularly aggressive and savage about it when their ignorance is pointed out in good faith. Again I get it and their hearts are usually in the right place, but I’d recommend steering clear.

I’m right and that asshole is wrong. Everything would be great if we just beat the crap out of that guy. I just solved all of our problems. Feels great being right doesn’t it? Damn I’m awesome. Better than railing a fat line of blow.

I read once that it’s a social evolution thing. Humans are more likely to survive if we work together, and part of working together means following the rules and a little bit of self sacrifice. We get a little shot of dopamine when we call someone out for breaking the rules because it makes the tribe stronger. The problem is that we figured out that psychological hack and it’s being exploited now to insane levels. We are wired to stop the guy next to us from eating twice his share of the crop or whatever, not for seeing every little assholeish thing some random politician said on the other side of the country, or every person a cop beats up, or every time a Karen is rude to a cashier, and so on. I don’t know how accurate that is but it sure sounds right.

I’m pretty sure the stories themselves are fake but a lot of the situations are plausible that I can kind of see happening some time. The comments sometimes have a lot of useful guidance for navigating complicated social situations. But yeah I do agree with you overall.

This picture makes me irrationally angry. You do you, but if I’m gonna travel far from home to explore the ancient ruins of a long gone civilization, I’m not gonna bring a fucking gameboy or whatever that is to play some goddamn pokemon. Seriously, wtf, and PS, when did I turn into Calvin’s dad?

I remember one scene where our heroes are fighting Jem Hadar in hand to hand combat and Odo is there (with his shapeshifting abilities, not during the arc where he’s stuck as a solid). Odo is punching people in the face and stuff. I remember thinking, couldn’t he just morph into a buzz saw and spin around? Or turn into an octopus with eight terminator-like hand swords? Or maybe a boa constrictor and wrap around them and squeeze 'em all to death? Or…
