Humor is dying in our newly fashioned lives of self orientation.
We've succumbed to making ourselves small and serious.
Tis sad.
I miss joking around.

It's kind of like the way stores and restaurant architecture is going. It used to be all about the personality and color. Now it's about being neutral and gray. The order of things today is to play it safe and aim for acceptance by all, rather than being yourself and finding those that can truly be there. Might have gotten carried away with this metaphor, but fuck it.

@SpectralMourning Exactly this...
Maybe it's just generational changes but I remember when we celebrated individuality and laughed at people who were robotic and sought mass appeal.
Now it's cool to sell your soul to fit in. To be part of a cliche and insult people who don't fit in. It's the bully energy we tried so hard to squash before it squashed our spirit. I guess it won. Doesn't seem like anyone is fighting it very hard. But I guess it's okay if we're all so self absorbed and stuck up we cant feel anything anyway.
It's a shame. I really think we were on a decent path forward but now we're too afraid of not fitting in or being liked we sacrificed our identity.

@FreeLittleBird humor shouldn't be limited because of people's inability to find humor. We don't have a disorder that prevents us from laughing, we're stuck in jobs, in environments around people who value our productivity and sameness.
It's like saying there's a time and place for art or music or joy.
I don't want to live in a time and/or place where people hate me for enjoying life. We're all gonna end up dead eventually, why spend whatever time we have dictating what's appropriate and when. Too many rules.
