2) All posts must end with a '?'
This is sort of like Jeopardy. Please phrase all post titles in the form of a proper question ending with ?

Civilization is declining, the things that were considered rude when things were worse are going to make a comeback.
Says who? Jordan Peterson? humans have made more progress in the last 30 years than ever before
Oof. I really hope I'm not turning into that sack of used hemorrhoid cream. I'm fully aware of the progress, that's why watching the the rapid regression is so depressing. I actually hope I'm just wrong, but if I'm not, I'm quite sure trans people aren't to blame, so at least I got that going for me.
Hang in there buddy
It's often an emotional message, not a rational one, that says the world is in decline. That emotion is real and meaningful, but not necessarily one that tells the full story. Humans have remarkable staying power.
