May you live in interesting times. What I wouldn't give for a calmly moving trolley.

Chop wood and carry water.

3: ????

4: smoke brisket

Nothing happening is exactly what I want. I want life to be so boring that I can wake up in the morning and KNOW that no one is scheming yet more ways to ruin my country or stomp on my rights.

Read Camus, go absurdist, enjoy life. It's so easy.

I agree with the premise, but it is not easy to reprogram a lifetime of conditioning.

[–] skulblaka@sh.itjust.works 5 points 2 weeks ago (1 children)

Sounds like you haven't read enough Camus

[–] timmytbt@sh.itjust.works 1 points 1 week ago

Maybe not 🤪

I like my trolley rides without screaming.

True peace is the opportunity to find joy. If you haven’t the means to read a book, or take the time to enjoy a coffee, or take a walk, etc. then everything is not fine.

spoken like a true leftist.

[–] Izolith@feddit.uk 2 points 1 week ago

I find it hard to understand how this is leftism.

Is the right supposed to go hunting killing animals while driving their monster truck through a nature reserve? The right couldn't do things like these?

Like what the fuck is this tribalism.

[–] rockerface@lemm.ee 5 points 2 weeks ago

What I wouldn't give for a ride like that nowadays

Screaming is just as exhausting and meaningless as not screaming.

That's btw one of the many reasons why people want to go to Mars. Adventure and excitement guaranteed.

This meme would have worked a lot better a few years ago. Hell, even a few months ago.

Life is no longer uneventful, the trolly's brakes have been cut and it is on fire, there are clearly people tied to the tracks and the trolley is already rolling over them.

It was supposed to be space travel... It was supposed to be space travel..

[–] Kertyna@feddit.nl 2 points 2 weeks ago

Maybe we can tie someone down on the tracks, that'll spice things up.

[–] Panamalt@sh.itjust.works 2 points 2 weeks ago

Oh, I'm screaming, dw

[–] TheBat@lemmy.world 2 points 1 week ago

Welcome to the good place

[–] peteypete420@sh.itjust.works 2 points 1 week ago

Plenty of people are screaming.

[–] Nougat@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

All the characters in the Neighborhood of Make Believe are just trapped in a trolley problem.

[–] Rhaedas@fedia.io 1 points 2 weeks ago

Snowpiercer, except there's no real plot or change. You are in the car you're in, period.

[–] werefreeatlast@lemmy.world 1 points 1 week ago

Screaming? That was a couple of miles ago. Everyone on the tracks was screaming. Then they went quiet. Now its just getting warmer and warmer. Can't wait to finally get to Auschwitz and take a shower like the guards said to do!
