Born too late to buy a house.

Born too soon to be forced to evacuate your city because of the rise of sea levels.

Born just in time to see the deaths of the major democracies in the world.

As Ben Shapiro so perfectly put it:

If the sea level rises, just sell your house and leave

Edit: here is hbomberguy reaction to that nonsense

I'll do it. I'll just remove the flood with my mop.

Facts don't care about your floods and natural catastrophes

Also known as acts of god- so as long as you're on god's good side, those things won't happen, and if they do, well obviously you did something to piss off god so you deserve it. QED.

Look on the bright side, if Putin and Trump start launching the nukes in a dick measuring contest, you will probably die of radiation poisoning long before sea level rise affects you.

I still hope for a quick one with the shock wave from the explosion, still...

What major democracies? If you're talking about USA, calling it democracy is a stretch

[–] Aux@lemmynsfw.com 1 points 4 months ago

The major democracies are doing fine.
