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
We really did have everything, didn’t we?
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
this movie is sooo frustratingly good. I love it.
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
It obviously was never going to be a long-term relationship then.
Nah, but man that was an abrupt “We weren’t close enough to share that experience yet” moment
The woman and black guy stare at him blankly
I Love That quote
Which, I guess, is part of the problem
Reminds me of a scene from Don’t Look Up
It is that scene, yeah
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.

“I prefer store bought” ruined me.
This is fi- notices .webp, flips table
Why do so many folks dislike webp? I really have no strong feelings towards it one way or the other
JPEG-XL is better, for one, if we are talking still images, and for two, webp is just one more instance of Google forcing a preference for their own technology over others.
They refuse to implement JPEG-XL support similar to how they stripped Miracast out of Pixel devices so you can only cast to Chromecast devices unless you root your phone and put on LineageOS, which has brought back Miracast.
Things like webp are Google trying to do an end-run around web standards with the intent of allowing Google, the company, to be the final arbiter of web standards instead of the W3C (World Wide Web Consortium).
People who hate webp are most likely people who hate Google’s quest to dominate the web and be the arbiter of standards.
Ah well that’s certainly fair enough, I had no idea it’s a Google-encumbered format.
Not sure I’ve ever “voluntarily” converted something to webp. Many Lemmy instances’ pict-rs setups seem to use it, my home instance sopuli.xyz obviously being one of them, which I guess is a sort of a funny choice considering
I wasn’t even aware of it being a format from google. My personal issue is that some programs and apps I use don’t support webp
JPEG-XL is better

It’s just the typical Lemmy hivemind hating anything made by a large tech company, purely because it’s made by a large tech company, even when it’s actually really good
Oh no! The “This is Fine” Dogs have gone woke!
It’s the sleeping dogs that lie….
I do kind of wish the dogs were so sitting around playing poker instead of eating, though.
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.
How many fingers do the dogs have?
Reminds me of this:
I don’t remember it!
