  • i just… harming the cultural artifacts is damaging to all of humanity. they should be targeting the people responsible more directly first. target their houses and their boats and them personally. target their families and the people around them. target the art they own…

    hell, the same group does do things that hit the appropriate targets. i just don’t think they’re going the right direction with the art protests specifically.

    the article is right, this isn’t going to change anyone’s mind one way or the other. it’s not going to affect the minds of oil execs. the most it might do is increase the donations to the police that guard the art. it is at Best, mildy counterproductive.

    the most it will do is piss everyone off. everyone is already mad, this is just making it worse.

    it’s destroying our common heritage. the history that we can see on front of us. to learn from where we came and see how we can progress.

    i still remembe needing to wait literal hours at the gate every damn time. we were never even close to late. they were always panicking. i don’t understand it…

    it’s not just parents either. some people are just like that when they travel. I’ve tried going places with friends that made it absolutely miserable as an adult because they were fucking panicking the whole time until we sat on the plane. i swear some people have never dealt with a deadline before or something. don’t know how to deal with a clock ticking down i guess.





  • yeah, the idea didn’t take off until the previous generation of doctors died. it’s a fact that often both encourages and discourages me.

    even doctors were too stubborn to accept they may have been wrong about something so important, no matter the evidence. however, even those that are so stubborn that they’ll take it to the grave will eventually be passed up by a new generation who has known of this idea since before they were born. at worst, this kind of stubbornnes is only likely to stall progress for 2 generations.

    still, millions of people died because humans are stubborn.

    brother that was over a decade ago. that change happened almost a quarter of the internet’s lifespan ago.

    they did that in 2009. YouTube only existed in that state for 2 years. so like 90% of YouTube’s existence has not included the star rating.
