When the scientists wanted to get the first computers connected to what would become the internet, they plugged in special parts to let the computer audibly scream at a phone! It was loud and horrible and I miss those old screams.
Some humans were able to memorize those computer screams and could scream them well enough themself to trick the phone into doing all sorts of things.
Beautiful!
I'm going to use this.
And I'll add that they made an episode of "Doctor Who" about it.

Shit is interesting right now. We're at (or approaching) the climax of western society. I wanna see how the story resolves.

I wish I had grand reasons to live but turns out it's easier if it's primitive. Eating tasty food, watching fun videos, petting cute animals.
Let politics be politics and philosophy be philosophy and turn to the small things for a bit.
The only way to stay sane if you ask me.

My kids. But I'm already living for them. You gotta find someone else's kids to live for.
Feels like kicking the can down the road. I would not want to be a kid growing up in this world seeing what it has become, and the dire fucking future ahead.

Ignoring reality?

Survival instincts is forcing me to live... I don't have a choice...
️Mine are rapidly wearing off.

My dogs.
Yeah dogs. I don't have my own, but even every street dog I come across makes my life at least borderline bearable.

Lol, everyone's thought their generation is the end times.
Some were right, and the last one will also be.
What you're doing is called inductive reasoning, and it's not very bright.
"Lol, every day I wake up alive. Therefore, I will never die."

When I was a boy we all knew the world would end in nuclear war.
Because if there are two things that are comparable, it's the mercurial whims of man vs the unstoppable force that is nature. And much like humans, nature can be reasoned with and convinced to not destroy everything.

Sunrises and sunsets, fresh air, sex, love, meeting new people, walking in nature, meeting animals, feeling emotions, marvelling at the wonder of your own existence, fighting oppression, being part of the solution, forming or joining communities, reading books, playing games, bouncing a ball, whistling, art, music films, dancing, quietly thinking, solving problems, being creative, chatting, making friends, falling in love, smelling flowers and herbs, eating great food, exercising, helping to bring about positive change even in small ways, laughter, riding a bike/scooter/horse/unicycle, painting, crayons, massage, feeding the hungry, helping others, finding peace, swimming in the ocean or lakes, climbing a tree, growing food.... And this doesn't cover a 100th of it. Times are hard, so many things are bad, but there's always a lot to live for.

Making new experiences. I spend time with my friends and try to build communities with interesting people to help deal with whatever the future will throw at us. Everytime I think I've got something figured out, another perspective pops up to consider. I'm plenty worried about the future, but life has certainly never been that interesting for me.

That's silly. What's the alternative? Give up on humanity? There's no other team to join. This is it.
I'm afraid for the future too, but humanity has been through worse than whatever my kids will experience.
