That hate came from somewhere.
Comment on Tesla pulls out all the stops as Cybertruck sales grind to a halt
forrgott@lemm.ee 1 day agoI fucking hate this timeline.
I keep seeing people say this. However, hate us what created this timeline. I don’t believe it’s what will get us into a new one.
I mean no offense towards you; I want you to know this. I guess I just finally realized what it is that bothers me about that statement. In fact, I share your sentiment. Because not only are they poorly made, common sense safety measures are removed and replaced with poorly engineered crap that traps people, while other badly designed components catch fire and burn them to death.

Yes? And if you fight fire with fire the whole world burns.

First time I’ve used this phrase, myself. But I had such hope for the future and I guess I am finally admitting my hope is gone.

I do not blame you. I just happen to be the most stubborn idiot I know. shrug

I think the answer is some kind of cynical optimism. Hope for the best, but prepare for the worst. You never know, they might all die tomorrow in a plane crash or something.

I was cyncically optimistic 8 years ago.
My optimism has been completely drained. I don’t care anymore.

My cynical take on that stance is they probably overstaff the airpots they are flying through to ensure that doesn’t happen. But yea maybe they fall down an elevator shaft.

Somewhat ironically, they understaffed the airport they all fly through, and yet somehow it was innocent civilians that died.
I detest this timeline. I am disgusted, really. I’ve never quite understood hate, though; to me hate feels like making a solemn vow that subject of my hate will always have power over me. Because hate is irrational. It overpowers reason. But it is only through reason and logic I find myself.
The catch 22 is fear. Fear also deprives is of reason, but it also shames us, lessens us. Just as Yoda taught us, “Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering.”
I don’t wanna suffer anymore. But I don’t want anyone else to suffer, either. Not even those responsible; I just want them gone from our timeline.
