Yeah, but as the quality of life has improved, we have also improved our knowledge and technology to the point where everyone can live a comfortable, generally healthy life, without want for any necessities. But that isn’t happening because of human greed and indifference. And everyone is completely justified complaining about that.

Conservatives love losing freedoms.

Our “news” outlets are simply pathetic.

It’s embarrassing.

Yeah, no idea what they were getting at with this.

I find it interesting that nothing you listed is contemporary. Even the aircraft carriers. We’ve have a lot of aircraft carriers for a long time.

You’re reaching pretty far back to find anything of significance Americans have done that’s positive. And some of what you listed is decidedly not positive.

Maybe you’re thinking about what Americans USED to be.

Americans are NOT pathetic

Buddy, we just RE-ELECTED a convicted felon and rapist who instigated an insurrection and illegally attempted to overturn an election AFTER we already fired him for massively failing, including in regards to the biggest crisis America has experienced since WW2. A guy that has openly stated he is anti-union and worker rights. We can’t even get on the same page about healthcare, despite having examples from other first world countries across the globe showing what we could do to better our situation. We targeted black people (still are), then gay people (still are), and now we’ve moved on to targeting trans people. Wealth disparity is increasing by the year. Billionaires OWN our politics top to bottom.

We’re categorically fucking pathetic.

I honestly don’t know if Americans have what it takes to change the path we’re headed down. I haven’t really got much faith left in our society. We’re pretty pathetic.

Hope I’m wrong.

One of the best games ever made. None of the others in the series really had the same fun factor. The mods were amazing. There was a total conversion called TribesRPG and there’s still a server up for it. Last time I went in a couple years ago there were only two players just idling.

How high are you?

The Thing. You come across a guy that’s infected but still alive. Clearly on the verge of turning. He gives you vital information then says

“If you want something done right, you have to do it yourself.”

And proceeds to blow his own brains out.

Boss move. Much respect.

If another species is intelligent enough to cross the vastness of space to reach us they’re going to be intelligent enough to stay far away from us or eradicate us.

And I wouldn’t blame them for either.

A quick glance at both party’s voting history indicates Republicans aren’t going to vote in favor of the average American anytime soon.

Unfortunately, it appears most Americans are too stupid and lazy to do this kind of basic research and would rather have social media and talking heads on TV tell them what to do. Idiocracy.

Fun Fact: Democrats are historically better for our economy.
