I don’t know if this is exactly what you’re looking for, but give the Confused bi-Product of a Misinformed Culture channel a perusal. He does a few different genres of mixes, including what I would consider psy-trance, although it might require a little digging through the archives to find your precise jam.

no problem on Earth is a result of the population being too high.

Pre-industrial humans caused mass habitat loss, species extinction, and even climate change, and that was with their relatively miniscule populations and emissions. What quality of life are you imagining over eight billion people having such that we somehow don’t continue wrecking the environment? And how do you plan on putting the genie back in the bottle regarding all our polluting technological “advancements” that require fossil fuels and/or intensive mining? Who’s declaring to the world that plastics, electricity, and all forms of motorized technology are over, and how do you imagine this would be enforced?

Even completely stripped of all our technology, humans are still animals, and any animal species will wreak havoc on their environment when overpopulated. Hell you don’t even have to be an animal; go look up the Great Oxygenation Event or what happened when trees first evolved. What do you suppose Earth is going to be like for the millions of years required for it to adapt to the changes we’re making? Unlike monocellular organisms and plants, however, we are sapient creatures; if we can observe this is happening and know we’re the ones causing it, how is it not in any way a moral issue?

2020?

Luck is a big part of it too. Start developing a chronic illness in your 20s/30s? Get ready for a lifetime of dealing with it and its knockoff effects and the various other ailments associated with getting older. Or maybe you’re fine but your spouse isn’t, and instead of supporting each other as you age it’s the two of you just trying to manage their condition.

I assume it wasn’t drilled into them by whoever taught them to drive. Using turn signals is so natural to me that I don’t think I could stop using them without an extended effort at deprogramming myself.

What is this painting? A gay knockoff of The Last Supper?

I was planning to eat this pie as my sole food over the course of 2 days for my One-Meal-A-Day (OMAD)

???

1984, so that people mentioning it online will stop sounding like complete fucking idiots.

Or perhaps The Jungle; it sparked public outcry and major overhauls the last time it became popular, maybe it can work its magic again.

You seen very focused on the “cost per calorie” measure. Have you never heard the phrase “empty calories”?

Iirc, ODD is only diagnosed in children and adolescents. Is this something you’ve experienced since childhood?

I’ve seen them at “classy” parties, such as for Christmas or new years, when there’s a lot of people expected, because you can write your name on them with a sharpie and prevent a million abandoned drinks from accumulating everywhere.

But usually I’d agree, I associate them with college dorm parties and house parties for teens-20-somethings, who don’t want to deal with the mess and/or may not own a sufficient number of glasses for all the guests.

I don’t know why everyone doesn’t use an allergy cover with their pillows. Keeps pillows clean and dust mites away from face while sleeping.

I know that a lot of improvements were made to worldwide extreme poverty in the 1980-2010ish range but I’m not an expert on that so I wanted to include a disclaimer that my perspective is skewed by what I’m exposed to.

Climate change, political extremism/division, and technology all made insane leaps from 2006 to 2026, as did many other things like economic inequality (in the first world anyway). Like yes, between 1986 and 2006 the Internet was invented, but between 2006 and 2026 it became an inescapable, completely integrated part of life on a worldwide scale.

Celebrities and politicians are simultaneously the most-watched and poorest-behaved people on the planet tho

But you should always wash clothes before wearing them for the first time???

(Seriously though, they have all kinds of dirt and chemicals on them)

I absolutely agree, especially because the primary income of the extremely wealthy (unrealized gains on stocks and such) isn’t getting taxed properly either.

Between their brutal depiction of substance abuse and the potential for a “bad trip spiral” upon hitting the emotionally heavy scenes/episodes, it could work as a personal wakeup call I suppose.

I think the art style is fantastic, but wonder how incredible it could have been with a Pixar-like budget and timescale. The animation can be a little janky at times, but I think they did a phenomenal job with what they had. So much detail, so much nuance, so much grandeur. That said, I can understand where it might be a turnoff for some folks, as it is a bit different.
