Sobering up is going from minor heaven to minor hell, so you can start approaching major heaven instead of major hell.
I was wondering why this post resonated with me so much and you’re 100% correct. It reminds me of sobering up
Not a shitpost.
We can’t even put out the fire at this point.
My comrade in crisis, we can’t even all agree that there is a fire.
The rest of us will do what we can. Maybe others will join, maybe not. Onwards we go.
We didn’t start the fire.
While assigning fault for who started the fire is important, maybe we can do that once we’re not burning to death?
It was always burning since world’s been turning!
How delightfully bleak
Or like since the industrial revolution.
Does really no one get a song reference around here?
I CAN’T TAKE IT ANYMORE
I am the walrus
Yellow Matter custard, dripping from a dead dogs eye
(Yes this is a real lyric)
STFU Donnie
I mean I like Billy Joel. I was just trying to reference the fires I am alluding to.
Most of these dudes are like 14.
Let the whole world know, that I’m a big ole asshole.
We didn’t light it but we try to fight it
That’s that song about the “Space Monkey Mafia” isn’t it.
NASA’s biggest cover-up.
That’s what they all said before. And that’s what they will all say again.
I thought they would say there is no fire.
You don’t know me!
It’s important to recognize that blame/circumstances are not isolated. Some variables may be within one’s influence, but not ever fully in control. Seeing that there are concerns is a useful step, but understandably more difficult to take appropriate, if any, action. Asking for help is not a weakness.
Now, if we’re talking about society at large, that’s their damned fault.
i had one of these moments a few nights ago… i booked an appointment with my therapist :p
Yes, this is from KC Green, author of the original This Is Fine.
Fucking brilliant, thank you!
The edit posted here is so much worse. It leaves out a lot.
The last two panels always break my heart. I wish I could give him a hug.
I wish I could give almost everyone a hug. Even me.
🫂
too fucking real
Looks like a regular day living with ADHD, honestly
He could have put that fire out tomorrow.
The deadline to putting out that fire is 12am, if he starts at 11pm he should be fine
This is what I expect humanity’s response to climate change to be eventually. Only the last two images mean it’s too late and we all die. The end.
No no, only the poorest 90% will die. Everyone else will pretend they were one of the good ones afterwards and carry on.
There is zero reason to think 90% of people are going to die as a result of climate change.
The status of climate change claims is essentially:
- Average temperature is going up: definitely true
- CO2 levels are going up: definitely true
- The CO2 increases are the cause of the temperature increase: probably, but conflicts with previous periods in geological history of higher CO2 and lower temps, or vice-versa
- This is caused by humans: maybe
- This will cause problems for humanity: definitely
- This will cause existential threat to humanity: almost definitely not true
- This will cause benefits to humanity: definitely true
The notion that climate change is going to kill us all is simply false. It’s not what science indicates.
This is the most confidentially incorrect thing I’ve seen in a while. Talk to a real climate scientist. Like a real one. They’re easy to find. They’re all (unfortunately) all over Twitter. Ask 3. Ask 10. You are going to be really sad after… But you’ll be educated. Or not. Up to you.
Your comment looks only at temperature and skips past all the effects of said temperature. An unbelievably incomplete and willfully restricted view.
Bro said “maybe” on humans being the source of all this new CO2 as if you can’t just do the math on humanity’s annual CO2 output and watch the atmospheric concentration go up in direct response. They’re downright lying.
The people most affected by climate change will be the poorest first. As long as rich people aren’t affected, everything is fine. When enough poor people are affected which causes issue in the supply chain of big corpos, that’s when people will start thinking “should we do something about this?”
