a simple question; (cw: death/dying discussion)

Is anyone else here dead?

If my world makes it that far. A few years ago, the public was cheering for a death match like it was entertainment. It wasn't over anything important, just a new hero using a the same name as the hero who literally saved the world decades ago, and people being upset that the OG hero's merch was getting expensive. If people can cheer for that, I'm not so sure we deserve to last much longer anyway.

That aside, what's the consensus so far? Even spread of living vs probably dead? 75% vs 25% leaning one way or the other?

'Deserve' doesn't really enter into it, does it? The good get punished. The bad get away with it. The world isn't fair, so maybe it'll last long enough.

Not a lot of living people have responded, but there's a decent number of us dead, yeah.
