I wish people noticed how much fucking space they take up.
All the fucking time I go to the shops or something and some oblivious dolt just stops walking, usually right in the middle of a fucking choke point.
I wish people would treat walking like they should treat driving; look around. Don’t stop in the middle of a highway. If you need to stop, pull over. If you’re walking slow, use the slow lane.
We need pedestrian traffic rules because this shit evidently is not intuitive to a lot of people.
I clean windows and the amount of people that see me cleaning a door and proceed to squeeze through the door I’m actively cleaning while there is another door literally next to it drives me nuts. They just see an open door and have to go through it like moths to a flame. I hate how oblivious people are in public.
Have you tried switching to Linux?
Every day where I find the restraint not to yell “FUCK OUT THE WAY GODDAMNIT” at random people is a successful day. It’s like some folks don’t even wanna get wherever they’re going.
The amount of people that arent aware of their space around them I have to drive around on a primarily bike lane on my commute is too high.
The natural world. Watch some birds or pay attention to the sounds of insects. See how many shades of green you can pick out from the leaves in the trees. Count the seconds between a flash of lightning and the subsequent thunder. Observe a lunar eclipse.
You’ll realize this place is kind of neat if you take some time to appreciate it.
100%. Being on my computer so much, I can always appreciate simply being out in nature.
Kind of ironic, because while I’m doing that everyone around me is on their phones.
The rise of fascism.
Yeah, I was gonna say something about how politicians lie or how the media manipulates people. You were more succinct.
Driving like a maniac saves you a negligible amount of time but puts others in disproportionate danger.
That while they judge themselves by their best intentions, they invariably, and subconsciously judge others by their actions.
Once you realise most people are just trying to get through the day and most people aren’t trying to make things worse for others, it’s easier to forgive perceived slights, and that will make your own day better, and make you less likely to subconsciously slight someone else.
Ah, the Fundamental attribution error
We’re standing on an unthinkably thin layer of viable grime coating a very small rock. We should all be constantly aware of how delicate this situation is and act accordingly, both in terms of how we treat each other and the shit we do to the rock.
Seconded. If the Earth were the size of a globe on your desk, he entire biosphere would be thinner than a piece of paper. We have filled the whole thing with our waste and toxins and we are destroying the very systems that we rely on to produce our food and air. If we do not start paying attention and taking steps, I sincerely believe that there will be a society ending global crisis in the next 2-3 decades.
