Not as garbage as your critical thinking abilities it would seem.

Identifying with the term “carbrain” is a choice.

One can have no choice due to lack of walkable, bikeable, or public transit infrastructure and also be annoyed about it. The would not make one a carbrain, but someone who is probably going to advocate for change.

Carbrain means you are so indoctrinated by the private vehicle industry that you can’t consider other options, get annoyed by bicyclists and pedestrians, and can’t possibly fathom taking public transit. That’s the entire argument.

Fuckcars also doesn’t mean we are literally sticking our dicks in tailpipes, but since you’re not big on reading between the lines I guess I’ll clarify that for you as well.

I certainly love hearing their speaker systems and modified exhausts from thousands of feet away.

Maybe don’t identify with the demographic the term applies to since it’s entirely by choice and such a stupid thing to base your identity around.

I'm white and I don't feel comfortable saying it/typing it. It's antiquated and weird.

What argument are you even making here? That women should feel the need to say yes to everything?

My posture is shit and I tested the leaning back and breathing thing and it did feel pretty good. But yeah, nothing wrong with drawing some inspiration within reason.

Example being Jordan Peterson. Cleaning your room if you can muster the will isn't a bad thing. That doesn't mean pronouns are a Neomarxist plot to control language or that you should only eat meat and get hooked on benzos.

Don't let their perceived expertise in one subject cloud your judgment over other subjects where they haven't the scantest idea what they're talking about. That said, it would be nice if everyone was forced to take a media literacy course or three in schools.

He’s literally calling the prime minister and asking him not to do it with of course the perceived benefit of kickbacks from Trump if he were to win.

Do you have Trump cum in your brain from sucking him off so hard? Is that where your critical faculties went?

Fuck man. I’m coming to Germany next year because it’s not the USA. Can you fucking not?

There is a vast frontier of knowledge and value to be gained in renewable energy, fusion technologies, CRISPR/medical science, systems integrations and automation, environmental cleanup, food science, etc.

These all take hard work and knowledge and aren’t quick fixes, so of course it seems like all the low hanging fruit is gone.

There are a ton of problems that need solving. It’s not the dog eat dog universe you say it is.

I used to be nihilistic and cynical for a time as well. Then I went through a divorce, went deeply into debt, became an alcoholic, lived in my car for a while and got sober and got my shit together. Not to say I recommend it, but the survival instinct is strong, and a wife and kids are a wonderful thing to wake up to every day.

I hope you can get some distance from the drugs and you might also get some perspective.

Your story is at least interesting, and if true, it sounds like you at least have the resources to improve your mindset and lot in life.

Well naturally, but I was and still am a dumb hick from Appalachia, so I didn’t understand that at the time. I’m a senior engineer now who does system integrations. I was speaking of the cliché advice given to people without marketable skills in a bit of a tongue-in-cheek way.
