Negative, I am a meat popsicle.

My middle school banned Pokemon back in the early 2000s. It probably would have worked out for them if they didn't try to escalate things too far though.

Like at first you could bring a gameboy or the trading cards and play during recess. First they banned gameboys, then they banned the cards, and eventually we literally weren't allowed to say "Pokemon" or we'd get in trouble. I don't think they ever unbanned gameboys, but I think it took less than a year for them to walk everything else back and soon enough everyone was playing the TCG at recess again.

I don't think we'll be dead, but I do think the world is gonna look pretty different. Like I don't think humanity is gonna go extinct within my lifetime, but shit's gonna get bad.

Although I suppose there's decent odds that I as an individual will be dead by 2050 lol.

Hell sometimes even when it does. There are some with really shitty locks and I've seen people just rip them open anyway and then blame the person inside for not locking it. It's me, I'm the person inside.

I mean like... Most of the people I've had crushes on.

So nice of insurance companies to decide that our teeth, eyes, and minds aren't part of our bodies.

Unless printed meat ends up being cheaper to produce, then actual farm animals will exist solely for the rich.

"We always look at things we're interested in looking at." Fucking genius shit here.

I had a coworker who loved to tell us about how he get married after taking a pickup artist class.

He'd sleep in his car in the office parking lot so he wouldn't have to deal with his kids in the mornings.

Yeah cuz meeting people and getting to know them sucks on ice. I have no idea how you're supposed to do it without like going to school and being forced to be around the same people all day until you figure out which ones you hate the least as a matter of survival.

I mean it would also help if we had a functional tax system in the US that wasn't deliberately made overly complicated to encourage people to pay for tax filing services.

They're not the same, but they definitely are similar.
