Too powerful? It’s the only way to survive daily life without going stark raving mad. It’s a legit coping mechanism, better than substances if you can make it work.
I started playing pokémon blue instead of worrying about climate change, social injustices and genocides…
Humanity had a good run.
Did we though?
I do the same but tack on a ponder about how it must feel to be speed-running towards the participation trophy of empire length.
Footnotes.
Roman and British empires look down at current day USA.
“Pathetic”
In terms of territory annexed maybe, but in terms of direct cultural reach the US has far outstripped both.
We’re going to be seeing the aftershocks of the US’ contribution to global culture and media long after the bones of the last American have become an archeologist’s study project
Hats with dogs on them?
Or hats for dogs to wear?No no, hats made FROM dogs. Rabbit fur’s getting expensive these days, you know.

The two great issues plaguing society: fascist takeover of democratic institutions and the stupid dance app
ByteDance saying they might rather shut it down than sell it shows that operating a silly dance app for profit was never their motive. The fact that at the mere notion of a forced sale our politicians were bombarded by death threats shows the platform was already weaponized.
The USA has less to benefit from the destruction of the USA compared to China. I wouldn’t be surprised if people’s personal data was given directly to the gangs running “Pig Butchering” scams, too.
