Free Waterfall IV?

Speaking as a perpetual wallflower who has never been to a rave in my life, I found it understandable. Admittedly I've heard the term "molly" in reference to ecstasy, but you see as guy wide-eyed staring at someone who looks incredibly uncomfortable about it. Seems pretty obvious that's the "molly bear" that uses "prolonged eye contact" to make "uh-ohs" so uncomfortable that they either leave or at least don't come to another one.

Well, if it's using the term in the same way as the first couple panels, it's a big hairy gay man.

The red scare, you mean where people were swimming in propaganda and hate of the unknown?

Yeah, so surprising that their critical thinking skills atrophied...

My guy, I'm almost as old as you. I just haven't given up yet.

If you want to give, that's fine. You can enjoy your schadenfreude while the world burns around you, I'd rather at least think about doing something about it.

No I’ve recognized the virus-like existence of humans for the bulk of my 43 years.

So do most of the people who vote (or don't vote) for this shit. Maybe we should stop focusing so much on how much everyone else sucks and start trying to help each other.

People giving up is what got us into this position.

I feel we should simplify that even further by saying undermorrow.

Isn't "may contain" more about contamination from other things made in the same facility?

Who said anything about angry and defensive? I said you were obsessive.

Yes, but the average persons individual efforts mean fuck all in the scheme of things. It's not individuals that make the difference, it's the collective effort.

Which, frankly, doesn't mean shit in this hypothetical situation. Hypothetically you could use your infinite money to create enough carbon offsets to completely fix the climate entirely for everyone everywhere.

Obsessing about small things like that to the complete rejection of all joy in life won't solve anything. If anything it will drive away any positive influences in your life, making you a joyless curmudgeon who can help no one.

Vacations are one incredibly small factor in the overall picture. In order to combat the negative impact we've had on our climate we need to fundamentally change pretty much every aspect of our lives from the top down.

And you're free to be disappointed, but just don't be surprised when other people think less of you for trying to ruin what little guilt-free fun people can have.
