No doom, no gloom, only bloom. There's plenty of room for doomerism elsewhere. This community is solely for having a positive outlook on the future and spreading good vibes.

Be kind to your fellow users. This also means no arguing in the comm. Arguments and negativity are not conducive to blooming. Constructive discussion is good. No interest-policing. Support your comrades in their joy!

Always share good news. We can't exactly enforce this one, but if you have good news, please share it with us! Keeping happiness and positivity to yourself is the twelfth type of liberalism.

The history of all hitherto existing society is the history of fellas doing stuff
Unironically, yes.
We all have several opportunities to do something cool.
Even if it's something small.
As cool as that could be we don't need to hope that any one person will make some great move to save the world. The greater mass of humanity always orients itself towards a better future. We've all just got to play our little part.
you just gotta be a lil ant
If I could change the world, I would be the sunlight in your universe
That is beautiful.
I just want to be someone's big bang.
:bonk:
Smh you're all adorable little nerds
I'm just a stinky owl tho
If I get all of Bezos's money, I'm buying myself some biryani for lunch and giving the rest to the stinky owl
The only way I'm saving the world is if pull a Kyle Reese and impregnate Sarah Conner.
something something coconut tree
What if by some clerical error like in Blank Check, you get all of Jeff Bezos' money and divide it evenly among every Amazon worker?
Or I'd get CIA'd
I think the first thing I'd do with that power is bring together a brain trust to figure out what to do.
I can't save the world, my lower back is messed up and I have a limp
You could be at the right place and right time to make an unselfish choice.
Idk, I can do something... but I won't say my intention is truly selfless....
Wanting the world to be a better place is in my own self-interest and will help everyone I care about, along with millions (billions?) of other people. So while it's not "really" selfless, I would still consider it good and noble.
Aye, I could do with that...
We are already marxists, we are making the world better just by existing. It's what keeps me going a lot of the time.
