  • I get what you’re saying but I think society would change much more in 30 years with billions of deaths compared to covid which effectively lasted for like 2-3 years. A generation would grow up that doesn’t know any better. Society would change. Covid was peanuts compared to the crisis in the movie. There is no going back in the movie.

    All of humanity is doomed but the movie doesn’t really show what that would do to society generally. A movie like Children of Men does show that. They also still have blaming immigrants and shit, but at least that movie doesn’t pretend life would carry on as normal when faced with “no more food, we’re all going to die”

    I had this with Interstellar. The story is that most plants died and they can’t grow food but corn. So they’re at a baseball game and this older character says “Popcorn?! I’m sick of corn, I want a hotdog”. He knows there aren’t hotdogs anymore, he’s just frustrated at the situation. Nobody responds.

    That’s the moment everyone should have jumped up to shut up grandpa. You can’t say that! Billions died, you insensitive asshat. Be glad you have food. Eating meat would be socially unacceptable because you can’t feed society that way anymore. It would be on the level of grandpa saying old-timey racist shit out loud in public



  • Got into a thread that was all transphobia. Not the subtle kind, but totally messed up. I was furious nothing was done about it. Glued to my phone, I reported every single one.

    Next day I was suspended for abuse of report button. Unfair, but here’s the kicker: It was a report 6 months earlier in a different sub, completely different topic.

    So these shithead mods let transphobia bullshit slide, then got mad at me for flooding their mod queue, report me, and someone looked through my earlier reports to find something. The reports in that transphobic threads were legit. Mods should have been punished but it was me.
