Back in my day, we had polar ice caps and the ocean was a place you went to to relax and have fun.

Yes the planet got destroyed. But for a beautiful moment in time we created a lot of value for shareholders.
Flamboyatron
The planet is and will be fine. Humans, on the other hand, not so much. Deservedly so.
MechaTeddy
imo the deservedly is only half true. We are heavily conditioned and are left in the dark as to our effect on the world around us.

Ah but every corp has some sort of "give back to the community" fluff to try and counter-balance their lust for profits.

Of course it's actually just for the tax write-off but they pretend it's just being generous

The Kashmir region seems like it could be a pretty good bet with terrible consequences.

Really? Eastern Europe instead of Asia? China, NK, Kashmir, Pakistan, region's a powder keg. South America too, but who cares about them lol

I think I already started, a total war wherein China has swindled away U.S. manufacturing supremacy. We are already fucked.

You can blame China if you like, but really, global capitalist and Chinese nationalist interests worked together on that one.
RickHalcyon
Agreed, the rich became mega-rich selling our know-how to China, who was glad to accept.

Boohoo. Waaah. China swindled us. Boohoo. They took our manufacturing supremacy, waaaah.

No we sold it to em

Back in my day we argued over if a dress was black and blue or gold and white instead of paying attention to our impending doom

Exactly. The White and Gold people were proven categorically false, thus we are free to blame them for basically everything.

But the dress was black&blue, and those who thought it was gold&white didn't understand how light works...
LordofSandvich
I got to see both! If I tilted the screen a little it turned black + blue. Or changed any setting, really.
DigiT00l
Black and gold to me though
Areliae
Phew, I thought I was the only one.
ArgonSpark
I'm sorry you don't understand how light works.
realargonwolf
Yeah, it's not like I can shine a purple light on a white surface and then take a picture of it and people would think it's purple, huh?
Bovisstercus
"Understanding" has nothing to do with it. The brain seems to be auto-correcting for perceived lighting differently between people.
amundost
If a color blind person says an orange is blue, is the orange blue?
mdws2
We're working on a big fix for that... should be released in the next version...

i love how the world lowkey acknowledges we just miiight be in a simulation

Leafus
So the white and gold people have a mental disorder, I knew it.
Bovisstercus
Hey, one study showed the white and gold people having more cognitive ability!
Leafus
Better and faster at being wrong? You'd think seeing something that's not there would mean they'd have less cognitive ability.
FistfulOfAssholes
NeverShaveYourDuck
How stupid. It was clearly black and blue.
Bovisstercus
People's brains auto-correct colour to match the perceived lighting. Brains that assumed yellow lighting saw black and blue.
Bovisstercus
Brains that assumed bluish lighting saw white and gold. Heck, some people were seeing a couple of other combinations.
NeverShaveYourDuck
I know. I was just trolling :)

MLK was harassed by our government for saying what he wanted. Maybe this is a fake narrative by asshole snowflakes who can't take criticism.

You say it like it's a bad thing. I think all the homosexuals and african americans like not being called the f-word or n-word anymore.

In my experience, I've found folks who bitch loudest about pol. correctness are upset that others are calling them out for being assholes.
