      I’m also in love with how we enjoy bringing our imaginations to life. We create little guys in our head and give them form so we can adore them more

    Anyways, let me get back to eating my turkey filled with bacon-wrapped steak.

    Sorry for being the Grinch. 'Tis the season.

      Seriously. We’re also causing mass extinction of species alive right now with our activity… and we refuse to change anything because it’s inconvenient.

        Humans are fundamentally good but our modern capitalist white supremacist society brainwashes people into doing evil acts like eating meat we don’t need for survival

          Our modern capitalists will brainwash, manipulate, coerce, and otherwise force the population to do whatever makes them more fucking money. The environment, animals, or other humans only matter if it upsets another capitalist with the means to enforce some kind of consequence.

          We may be fundamentally good, but I’m beginning to think we’re too collectively stupid and too easily influenced by those among us who are selfish. It’s just too easy to spread lies and too hard to correct them. Every mechanism we have created to combat this has been partially or completely captured and are now twisted into reinforcing the lies instead of challenging them. Technology, news outlets, research/think-tanks, schools, pretty much the entire Internet.

    And yet a modicum of grace for our fellow man is almost impossible.

    I’m sure dinosaurs wouldn’t have made a dumpster fire of the world, so I guess it tracks?

    Also if you buy stuffed toys made with petroleum-based fibers like nylon, they actually have some dinosaur in them.
