Yeah, my parents went from chucking EVERYTHING in the same bin, food waste, cardboard, paper, batteries, whatever it is it went in the same bin and it smelled like death and leaked every single time. Now they recycle cardboard, at least milk cartons. I mean sure, there’s some change, but what use is it when the change should be pretty fucking big to make a difference - like you say, too little too late.

I’m glad this is happening while most of the Boomers are still alive, they can see exactly what kind of world they’re passing on to their grandchildren before they go.

LMAO as if they give a shit. I talked with my parents about how they’re so privileged to be able to be so carefree (read: careless) about everything while I probably won’t ever see retirement or necessarily be able to drink water from the tap (we have excellent water) like they do and it was like I was talking an alien language. They don’t give a fuck.

Have you seen the Futurama movies? I didn’t even know they existed until this year and I’m trying to decide whether I should see the movies before starting the new season.

I’m going through TOS (nearing the end of season 2) and have been wondering whether I should watch the animated series, leaning on skipping it entirely, is it worth watching? I’m all for animation, but tbh a lot of american animation has left me disappointed.

I tried to read Asimov (by recommendation of my grandpa) as a kid and even though I was big into really heavy, dry philosophy and philosophical books I couldn’t get through any of his books - if you watch Foundation without expecting a great adaptation of the books (which in and of itself would be quite an achievement which I doubt we’ll ever see) it is a pretty great scifi show in my opinion. Certainly piqued my interest in finally reading the books even if it’s nothing like the show, but then again I don’t expect adaptations to be exact replicas of the original work and find that very difference enjoyable.

I guarantee you that’s not the reason. They did/do similar shit with Facebook and people were pissed, now anyone barely remembers or cares. People don’t care and facwbook/meta/zuck certainly doesn’t.
