I feel that. Normal day to day life: a million things to juggle and I don't even know where to start. Crisis: one thing to worry about so I go all hyper focus--100% of neurons are all engaged toward singular purpose.
Aren't they all?
Because every time the US elite needs to distract the crazies they whip out the UFO circuses and the rubes lap that shit up. Honestly it's getting embarrassing for all parties involved.
You wanna know why aliens don't visit this planet?

We could die a little faster if it helps.
Do you love mass shootings or just hate having healthcare?
Yeah but you guys still have the guillotines in storage or something though, right? Might be time to dust them off.
Then there would be fewer of them, which is objectively better for all life on this planet. Seems fine tbh.
It's a combination of factors. That could be one of them. There's also the onset of an El Nino climate pattern, the reversal of the aerosol cooling effect from changes to low sulphur shipping fuels, spiking methane emissions, some effect from the water vapour injected into the stratosphere by that underwater volcano a few years back, and we seem to be speed-running past tipping points. It's a lovely potpourri of doom we have wrought.
Yeah but who cares? Twitter was dead the second Elon bought it and we all knew it.
I'm nice to my crickets though. You don't have to hurt them, you just place them into the freezer and they fall asleep like it's winter time. And then you roast them and mill them into flour. Okay that part does hurt them, but they're asleep. Seems kinda peaceful.
I get that hurting a mammal with complex emotions is very unethical, but where's the limit?
What about fermented food? Tiny bacteria are alive when you eat them. They probably don't feel pain but I can't imagine they're thrilled to meet their doom.
How about mushrooms? They aren't plants, and they apparently communicate with the trees. How do you know they don't possess some kind of sentience?
What about harvesting plants? Everytime you run a combine through a field it's like an insect genocide. Even if you're only eating plants you're still eating insects because they get caught by the harvester and milled into the final product. The FDA allows up to 50 insect parts per 1/4 cup cornmeal.
What about hurting a tree? They're not sentient and cannot feel pain but I still believe it is unethical to harm a tree. Do they not deserve our empathy because they lack our human conception of sentience?
Being a good human is hard. I feel like in principle you're right but I don't know how to exist and not hurt anything ever. You're right, I don't know you. Maybe you're just a better person than I am.
I mean, without the memes why even infosec
Wait you guys have $200?
