Just read books

The internet, video games, etc

All are populated by low IQ simpletons that are miserable and will try to make you miserable as well. Get lost in a book instead

I’m currently reading the bibliography of Adrian Goldsworthy. Just finished Caesar and now I’m on augustus

completely unregulated internet is going away, the tik tok ban bill that will prolly die in senate anyway literally makes using a VPN illegal if the government says so. SOFA PIPA all those bills, one will eventually pass and everything is gonna be shit and pay walled to fuck and back.

but i bet depression noticeably goes down it's gonna take deepfakes causing a freakout before the clampdown happens though i bet.
We can’t even stop people smoking cigarettes and that’s got to be the worst habit out there with zero benefit

Good luck shutting off the internet. Too many idiots make money doing nothing on it

yeah its a recurring idea more and more these days that the majority of all the issues we have are exacerbated by the fact that we don't have to chase a deer for 10 miles in order to eat dinner, and we don't have to fight off mountain lions to keep the meal we caught.

back in those days we didn't give a fuck about politics or race or sexual orientation, we didn't have the spare energy to spend giving a fuck about those things.

so few of us understand that we're really only 200 years out of the wilderness, only 200 years domesticated out of 300,000 years of existing as homo sapien.

stop expecting so god damn much from yourself and everyone else

IMO if you aren't starving, bleeding or burning, you're actually doing just fine.

I do think the country would be more healthy if states had more power to govern themselves without Federal interference. I think that would allow for us to go back to the United “states” vs some giant blob of Americans we are today. I think it’s best if we retain our differences.

The internet is basically dead.

Facebook is its own internet, so is discord, and instagram.

Tiktok. Reddit makes up 30% of the traffic online.

The internet is dead, and gone.

This website is one of the last outposts, in a vast wasteland of vapid whores that sell feet pics on a secret internet you cant access unless you buy an account.

Nah guys Pandora's Tech Box is blown wide open, it couldn't even be reassembled even if we could put the tech back in.

We're gonna have to learn to live with it, and if human history is any indication then only a few of us are gonna survive it

a "carrington event" type flare wouldn't even destroy all tech as the vast majority of military tech like weapons and communications and corporate tech like data centers and a plethora of other devices are already electromagnetic radiation shielded from the fears over nuclear bombs, or they are paranoid about things like solar flares, or it was just built that way.

Gamma ray burst might do the job tho, could pray for that

society feels fragile enough right now that a solar flare might just cause enough chaos where they couldn't get shit back on the rails. or having to deal with actual reality for some amount of time might snap enough people out of this zombie state to get us back on a path that isn't as fucked.

i feel like a nonconsensual camping trip affectively would do a lot of good for people right now. minus all the people who would die without power at hospitals n stuff when the generators run out..etc..etc
