Ask anyone who has lived through war: This is fine because it’s the closest you’ll get to peaceful activities.

You don’t get to pick and choose your disasters and turn them off at will.

Much more realistic than the original meme. The failures of society overall to be cohesive and care for everyone in society isn’t within the control of the powerless. What the powerless can do is control their own simple joys, that’s all.

So treating yourself kindly in the face of evil you cannot control nor stop is fine.

Exactly so!

While I’ll definitely do what I can to try and influence the trajectory we’re on I’m just one person with very little power, and I’m not exactly optimistic about how things are going and figure that at some point something like this meme will be the best I can do

The movie is “Don’t Look Up” for those who aren’t aware. It’s excellent. Watch it.

Just don’t get near the brontorock.

The movie straight up ended a relationship I had just because we weren’t that far into dating when we watched it and that shit was bleak as hell

Which, I guess, is part of the problem

This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.

-Douglas Adams

Is this totally AI generated or do we have an author for it?

I see no indicators that this was AI. Lots of details, no inconsistency.

Great movie all around but that scene really stuck with me. The world may come to a fiery end, but they’ll be damned if they let that stop them from being good to each other.
