I think you need to re-evaluate the people you surround yourself with, friend.

Gonna have to find me a whole new intelligent species if you don’t want to be surrounded by a society that does this.

You can’t fix the world, but you can at least influence who you personally interact with. Easier said than done, but any little incremental improvement still means today is better than yesterday.

Hopefully the folks on here have been mostly good to you!

Society does those things.

Friends don’t.
