Angry Sun (sun@shitposter.world)'s status on Tuesday, 28-May-2024 09:34:22 JST Angry Sun what if kids ARE depressed because of events, but because of the constant inescapable fearmongering about it rather than the actual events, which humans throughout history have survived and thrived through - Haelwenn /элвэн/ :triskell: and Doughnut Lollipop 【記録係】:blobfoxgooglymlem: like this.

sim@shitposter.world's status on Tuesday, 28-May-2024 09:45:11 JST sim @sun Isn't this the survivors bias view? Lol.
I get what you are saying, but equally a lot of people simply didn't survive or thrive throughout history. Fearmongering or not. -

But... the entitlement is baffling. Your life span is likely 4x a serf- you probably have devices that count as magic in the Clarke sense.

if you put people in to buckets for superwinners, winners, and poors, the absolute value within each bucket has increased over time. the poors (despite the US banks best attempts to cause depression after depression) still have better housing than medieval kings.
but the difference between the buckets has swung wide. instead of the king having a nicer house, the king now owns half the planet and ten orbital super mansions, while the poor has.. an apartment complex and a used car.
its the difference in nice things that results in big crime, and we can now see how the other sides live and are acutely aware of retarded car salesman does little to nothing but gets to own ten orbital yachts but the 140IQ worker has to flip burgers because :blobcatdunno: -

The humble potato is amazing. -

Angry Sun (sun@shitposter.world)'s status on Tuesday, 28-May-2024 20:37:13 JST Angry Sun @bartholin I'm still on the fence about climate change and how much it will impact life in the near term. I am not saying it's not real but it's been difficult to predict the specific effects. -
