Re: Should we be concerned about the future of humanity?
The older I get, the more I understand why we weren't meant to live forever.
The world is getting ****ing weird and I can't imagine what it'll be like in another 100 years.
Cars driving by themselves, all electric motors. Boring.
Kids being taught in school that they can be a girl, boy, both or neither. Wtf?
Getting in trouble for calling a dude a "him". Wtf?
People being scared to pick up the phone, but they'll respond via txt.
Absolutely no real world interactions when the "metaverse" becomes mainstream.
We weren't meant to live forever for a reason. Our brains can't handle this insanity.

Agreed, but for every problem there is a solution.
And the reality is, any solution will work for some people, and not for others.
There's always gonna be a class of people who dictate the solutions on their terms. It's fundamental. It happens in every generation.
So if ya cant beat em...
You know ;)

I agree with virtually everything you said, other than this statement... on this topic you are just flat out wrong.
A decent electric car (like a performance oriented Tesla) is WAY more fun to drive than 99.9% of combustion cars. Once you experience the acceleration from electric motors, driving a combustion engine feels like driving a semi truck or something... it so lethargic and slow to respond in comparison.
Also I can recharge my Tesla in my driveway from 0-300mi of range for ~$4 or $5... meanwhile it costs almost $100 to buy a full tank of gas for my toyota 4runner

On my home charger it can recharge about 45 miles of range per hour, so going from 0-100% takes 6 or 7 hours
If you're in a rush, it can also recharge from 0-90ish% in 20 or 30 minutes at a supercharger...but it costs ~$15ish to do a full refill at a supercharger

It doesn't mean we're ****ed though. Humans can still thrive. We're very resilient when it comes to self preservation.

Hope it doesn't grab any problems if you ever find yourself having the need to traverse through deep floods, rivers, etc.

Basically everyone can use it however they please, but I'm gonna try to make it a place for the dicussions that are simply no longer worth having publicly.
We takin over, boyzez.

A Tesla is more fun to drive compared to a regular car.. yes, but not a sports car.
I can't imagine how a car with absolutely no sounds, and the inability to shift gears can be more fun than a screaming Ferrari with a naturally aspirated V12 or even a V8.
There's a reason why all the non electric sports cars are all going up in value. Billionaires driving their electric Lamborghinis in the future are going to be really jealous when an old ass Aventador comes screaming beside them on the freeway.
I guess I'm just old school. I still love shifting gears in my car.

It’s like people who still pine for a rotary dial phone. Why? Progress advances the world. There is a reason we don’t have coal belching factories anymore.
