That no man is an island. And even the things you do "staying in your lane" affect those around you.

I'd also love for people to remember that breaking social contracts used to lead to duels and that's why you saw a dip in violence and breeches. But we stopped doing that and now violence and breeches of social contracts are happening more often.

And lastly I'd like all the people complaining about the biosphere in this thread to remember that they're Debbie Downers and that's why no one invites them to parties.

I'm joking about the last one. I agree with them, I just think the solution is getting off this planet as quickly as possible Oregon Trail style.

Is that another joke at the end? There is no place as habitable as earth even with where we have it at today.

Exactly. Even as bad as we might still fuck the planet up, it'll still be easier to terraform actual Terra than fucking Mars.

Who dipped their breeches? Cheeky bums !

…now violence and breeches of social contracts…

The latter? Yes. The former, most definitely not. Violence by all measures is at an all-time low, at least since the 1920s.
