the resources aren’t the problem (although i would still only half agree with you on that statement). it’s the quality of life. do you want to live your life packed into an apartment? do you want to get on a 5 lane freeway to go get groceries? do you want to go to a state park and not be able to find a parking space? do you like crowded spaces? do you want to continue to burn rain forest to create range lands? do you want to watch the suburbs continue to expand into natural areas? do you want to continue to global warming?

we are a much more sustainable species at half our current population level.

the fuck it aint. all you got to do is have only one child and you will reduce the population by half in a single lifetime.

the simplest solution is to stop having so many babies. population reduction is critical to quality of life.

this is a self defense situation now

sorry you’re being downvoted, but i support scientific data AND putting religious people in asylums.

not being trolled by lemmy d list celebrities, and then, i don’t know, maybe i’ll smoke a joint.

when society turns on the people with a conscience, the people with a conscience should turn on society. stop playing nice.

this a thousand times over.

I would be wise to think what to do instead.

THIS^ this is the statement that needs to be repeated over and over in leftist american circles.

i think if we worked on this instead of endless whining and worrying, the problem would be gone by now. the solutions are simple. sorry you got downvoted. you didn’t deserve it.

i’m on the spectrum myself, but i was raised before awareness was widespread. i overcame it, and i’m thankful because it’s a lonely place inside my head compared to the joy of sharing interactions with people IRL.

yes, but that assumes that there is some human quality to the internet. yes, we post emojis and people love cat pics, but there’s still something inherently plastic about all of this - something deeply human that is lost in binary translation, which is why it’s important that we hold on to simple things like using our voices and making eye contact IRL.

when yall stop making eye contact, you’ve truly lost your humanity

lol social media

how very interesting indeed!

it’s almost like we should do something about it instead of waiting for the government to do something about it.

it’s almost like the world is on a collision course with a giant metaphorical iceberg while we stand idly by and do nothing.

it’s almost like any amount of carnage and destruction would be better than a future in which we continue to let morons have a hand in guiding our society.

are you trying to bait me into getting banned? i’m on your side, genius. i’m just not a weak do-nothing like some of you.

nah. i will always use my voice to offer true solutions. countless lives are at stake. we should have done the right thing years ago.

use your imagination

the world would be a better place without OK

because we allow the 30-40% who will vote for him to exist. they won’t change their minds. there’s only one solution.
