  Like I said, humans have had a big impact on Earth. No argument there.

  There were also thousands of homo erectus and homo habilis individuals that were clever enough to use tools and adapt to new environments. They’re a part of the process of coevolution between people and technology that we are still experiencing. That’s why we’re special, that process. The process will end at some point, and that’s ok.

  There are people in this thread that think their lives are meaningless if they don’t leave some irreversible mark on the fabric of reality. I don’t think that’s a reasonable perspective. I prefer the perspective of an intelligent ape. Intelligent ape is excited about smartphones and antibiotics, even if the Earth is doomed to be swallowed by the sun.

  It’s only depressing if you’ve convinced yourself that you’re something more than an intelligent ape.

  If you think about it from the perspective of an animal that had no concept of time, space, ethics, or philosophy just a few hundred thousand years ago, then we’re actually pretty impressive.

  We probably won’t have any significant effect on the galaxy, but we sure have an effect on Earth.

  Yeah, but how often did Bernie himself repeat those conspiracy theories? Did he ever try to violently overturn the Democratic primary results? Every popular person has some shitty supporters, so you can’t just judge people based on their supporters.

  No, you did not bring up a “mens issue”.

  You said “historically, shit sucks for men.” That’s such a broad statement that it’s nearly meaningless.

  Saying that men could at least vote, historically, is a concrete example where your statement doesn’t apply. Do you have any concrete examples to serve as a counterpoint? I know those examples exist, but you just gave up on the conversation.

  I wish more than anything that there was evidence of alien life that I could see with my eyes or hear with my ears. For now, we just have some dude saying things with no real evidence.

  I love basically everything Glover does, but boy am I sad he’s going to be contributing to the bloated mass of Disney+ Star Wars content.

  Maybe he’ll be able to pull off something like Andor, but my expectations are so low for now.
