their houses were STILL cheaper proportionally than it is now. And their kids worked. And their parents left things for their kids instead of selling it off to blackrock. And they could, and did, start businesses because they weren't priced out of it due to government intervention (yes, during the great depression.)
The Great Depression was worse than now because the poorer infrastructure made it hard to literally eat, but in many ways, we live in a more oppressive time now.

Hahahahahah. The internet will never recover from the nonstop insecurities of nonwhite males. Feel for zoomers, they’ll never know how good it was.
Swear the amount of times I’ve clocked some very passive-aggressive catty b***hy person, think it’s some girl but then it’s a non-white guy that’s pushing 30.

We've endeavoured to accept and conquer this shit since Epictetus. Eating only junkfood will ruin your taste. Spending all day in bed will make you tired and lazy. "True Love" will always fade, because it too is chemical.
Understand that these things are not magical and do not replenish infinitely, that's the only way you can learn to sustain them by practicing in discipline and self-awareness.
It's a matter of perspective. I'm fascinated by the way human perspective works and the difference that language makes in your worldview. This is the best example >Chemical reactions in my brain have caused an attraction towards you with the purpose of procreation
you're using a scientific and mechanical language to describe a human emotion. You're dehumanizing yourself and describing your subjectivity as nothing more than a meat machine following its programming. On the other hand >I LOVE you
describes the same thing but uses a term that brings your mind to a subjective realm. The word love already forces you to explore your feelings. It's a word that has countless meanings and different shades, forcing YOU to make choices. It might remind you of a poem you read, a romantic movie, a nice dinner in a classy restaurant or a passionate night of sex.
While the pursuit of knowledge and truth is a noble goal applying it to human subjectivity is dangerous and one of the reason our modern society is utterly filled with despair and a lack of meaning.
Your great grandparents married at 16 and never, not once, lived apart and they lived to be over a century old.
Women have become such awful baby killing prostitutes that men simply cannot imagine a time that anybody would want anything to do with them. The thought of earnestly committing your life to somebody and creating a family is reduced to a cartoon joke.
Because their idea of science is reading about things other people have actually discovered through applications of scientific method.
Science isn't actually experimention, it's a way to showcase secular understanding
Because they were systematically enslaved, institutionalize, and lied to about reality for their entire childhoods, so developed trust issues as a result.

Us of course.
honk honk
the real reason though >love is just chemicals
like everything else in that poorly written show, it's just a reference/call back. love being chemicals was a meme phrase from the 80s/90s when pop science was taking off. Pretending to be hyper rational and breaking down thechemical process that we describe love was a way to downplay human relationships. But the reason roland remembered it is probably because it was used in bioshock 2 https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=al-CSN0Mn00
Love is like having to regularly care about taking care of things. Many experience motivation and think it will change things but without motivation leading to discipline then motivation will lead to nowhere since motivation is temporary unlike discipline which forces to achieve and love is the same like this that's why you see many older couple in love like they actually work on their marriage and A LOT of them still frick despite being around 80 years old gross.
Yeah, relationships in general are actually work and they tend to fail when people get lazy or don't realize they're going to have to put more effort in than they thought.
It's consistent thoughever. It's a character flaw. He always says how he is le nihilist. But it's shown many times throughout the show he actually does care about people and his family.
>drunken loser who hates everyone and every thing >shown to say shit he clearly doesn't believe or mean in order to spite people
le heccin Millennial Writing?!
This. Isn't his character supposed to be a drunken dipshit who can't stop spouting how the sausage is made to make everyone around him as bitter as he is?
You see, in the first season this whole ultra scientific mind thing was just a joke. Rick fricked up constantly and acted like he's a genius who knows everything but he's clearly insane. In this very episode for all his confidende in his science he ends up destroying the world. In later season they treat this trait of Rick's personality at face value "he's le science god" and its so cringe.
This. He got wasted and tried to nuke the planet in the first scene of the first episode. In the episode in OP he destroys humanity and just makes it progressively worse with each attempt to fix it.
Also he's clearly just bitter about his wife being wiped out of every reality.
They teased the current season as being about chasing down the real, original rick
Its actually episode after episode of rick trying to apply the lessons he learned in therapy to his adventures and being shit on for it
Kinda funny but it's almost exactly like reading Jojo's Bizarre Adventure. Almost every other chapter reads like something Araki read on Wikipedia and thought was cool that day.
they are the first western generation since the dark ages to be subjected to a polygamous system. many, especially nerds like writers, cannot reproduce. therefore they cope by pretending love isn't real
oh frick you this episode was great because RICK WAS WRONG! And thats the entire point of the story. If love was just a chemical reaction meant to make people frick then everyone would act like they did after they got infected with Ricks bullshit potion and the world would collapse.
The joy you feel about helping others or improving your understanding of the world is also a chemical reaction that compels animals to survive and keep being rewarded with more chemicals.
I hate this meme.
>There's absolutely nothing wonderous about mere chemicals being able to create meaning and attachment
Even in the most nihilistic, cold, and material world possible Rick fails to kill the mystery of love
That’s a really long narrative journey from Rick’s wife having clearly left him because she was looking for money indicating she is in fact Rick Prime aka Satan aka the prostitute of Babylon which is why someone as intelligent as Rick would spend his entire autistic life trying to kill her. Sorry for spoiling the entire western canon for you.
he's right though, why does it bother breeder animals that they are just meat computers who frick to keep the species going like ants? just rock it or something idgaf
The chemical reaction part is true though. There's no "one true love". There's no "soulmates". You think someone's hot, then you frick. If you can tolerate being around them, maybe you love each other, maybe you stick together. Maybe somebody cheats, maybe you get divorced. Maybe one of you dies. When the relationship is over, you will frick somebody else most of the time.

When the relationship is over, you will frick somebody else most of the time.
He's completely correct though. The ideal marriage is one where the initial romantic love is replaced by platonic love for your spouse. So even after the "magic" is gone and you no longer want to bang each other's brains out with every spare moment, you still care about one another and want to live together.
Rick's just a depressed misanthrope so of course he thinks that marriage is pointless All his long-lasting relationships are founded on unhealthy dependencies rather than genuine platonic love that he can be honest about.
So how many kids do you have?
Own or caught ones?
Like, 5 from china and 2 from mexico in my basement.
can't afford any due to millennials and boomers
People living in the Great Depression had like 7 kids. "Can't afford it" is a cope for sexless losers.
it made more sense when there were no child labour laws.
their houses were STILL cheaper proportionally than it is now. And their kids worked. And their parents left things for their kids instead of selling it off to blackrock. And they could, and did, start businesses because they weren't priced out of it due to government intervention (yes, during the great depression.)

Chemically compatible matches don’t exist? What? If true love existed, there wouldn’t be chemistry to it? What?
Love is like having to regularly care about taking care of things. Many experience motivation and think it will change things but without motivation leading to discipline then motivation will lead to nowhere since motivation is temporary unlike discipline which forces to achieve and love is the same like this that's why you see many older couple in love like they actually work on their marriage and A LOT of them still frick despite being around 80 years old gross.
Yeah, relationships in general are actually work and they tend to fail when people get lazy or don't realize they're going to have to put more effort in than they thought.
Yet this b***h’s pessimist ass can’t get over the fact his wife is dead in every universe and constantly takes it out on his family for it.
It's consistent thoughever. It's a character flaw. He always says how he is le nihilist. But it's shown many times throughout the show he actually does care about people and his family.

This is before season 3 when they shit up the writers room with incompetent women
You see, in the first season this whole ultra scientific mind thing was just a joke. Rick fricked up constantly and acted like he's a genius who knows everything but he's clearly insane.

Also he's clearly just bitter about his wife being wiped out of every reality.
the new episode was so bad people don't even complain about it anymore, and just make generic rickandmortybad threads now.
wasn't the whole point of Rick that he was a hypocrite and deeply depressed or have they retconned that? haven't watched the last 3 seasons.
They teased the current season as being about chasing down the real, original rick

chemicalgays, explain to me what value "science" is supposed to have?
The goal of science is,,,, to heckin know things you will never be able to share
That’s Rick speaking as a character. It’s not the writer using Rick as a mouthpiece, it’s Rick’s character’s perspective.
they are the first western generation since the dark ages to be subjected to a polygamous system. many, especially nerds like writers, cannot reproduce. therefore they cope by pretending love isn't real
