The Industrial Revolution and its consequences have been a disaster for the human race. They have greatly increased the life-expectancy of those of us who live in "advanced" countries, but they have destabilized society, have made life unfulfilling, have subjected human beings to indignities, have led to widespread psychological suffering (in the Third World to physical suffering as well) and have inflicted severe damage on the natural world. The continued development of technology will worsen the situation. It will certainly subject human beings to greater indignities and inflict greater damage on the natural world, it will probably lead to greater social disruption and psychological suffering, and it may lead to increased physical suffering even in "advanced" countries.
We dont even need to talk about the toxicity of byproducts or indignities in other exploited countries. Even in the places where post industrial nations see the most benefit, we see a ton of negative effects. I'm gonna do a list of pros and cons, although it will not be remotely comprehensive.
Pros:
1. Greater access to quality goods that improve quality of life.>
2. Increased productivity per hours of labor for the average individual worker.
3. Transformative technologies that improve at an exponential rate.
Cons (excluding terrible environmental damage and indignities to third world nations)
1. A huge rise in inequality which leads to instability and social unrest.
2. A severe decline in job fulfillment. For many people their efforts have no influence on the reward for their work.
3. Massive exploitation of the labor force in the benefiting communities, even before reaching poorer nations
4. A rise in stress from unreasonable work expectations
5. Linked to the above point, a sharp increase in daily average hours worked.
6. A rise in corporate influence on politics. I dont know whether governments used to be more or less corrupt, but massive corporations having outsized influence on the government feels more consequential than ever.
Well.
There are Dragonwolfs as a species but my shape accumulated due to the fact that one of my ancestors is Fenrir and his beast shape got other generations mixed with the beast shape of a dragon who my ancestors paired with at some point.
That's why my divine beat shape as a Dragonwolf looks different than the natural ones.
Okay I understand, that's really nice and all but there's still one problem I have with that...
What is the natural Dragonwolf supposed to look like? I don't even know my birth parents, I just kind of exist
Well they usually either look like wolfs with draconic elements like wings and horns.
Or like dragons with wolf like elements like a für.
My divine beast shape is for example scales but a fur coat growing over it. I do have small horns but their barely visible which means I mostly look like a overgrown wolf.
But I have a pretty long tail with gliders large enough to wrap around myself multiple times and my wings have hands of their own, both of the last characteristics are things I haven't seen so far on a natural dragonwolf.
Oh my God am I a natural dragon wolf? I can transition between either forms effortlessly, although the horns I have are permanent. I don't like my wolf feet so I typically have dragon claws instead but I can always switch any part of my body to have scales if I really wanted to. I think my fluff is water resistant as well, don't know why. Would I classify as natural or some weird fusion? I do have wings but I don't know how to fly, just give myself some more air time
A Barista is a craftsman of Hot drinks.
And I, as a God of the new age, I am not more than just a humble representative.
Like, interestingly most gods were.
Nah, I just really like the idea of a minor god working a cafe in the aether.
Elder God walks in, jingling the bell for a solid 5 seconds as their writhing body struggles to make it through the frame of the door
You ask for their order, wincing as you see their *drippings* coating the freshly waxed floor, sent flying by spasming tendrils
It replies "gallon of americano, with a saucer of sacrificed milk. Make sure it's from a nice pyre, not from one of the ones where they burn rams. I'm terribly allergic to wool. It's my bane, you know."
You nod in agreement, not giving too much thought to what the geezer is saying. They've been here hundreds of times, and always have the same story, if a different name. Or was it will have been here? Hard to tell with beings who don't perceive time as you do.
You politely ask for their name, glaring at the ceiling, as some wayward flick of a tentacle has somehow managed to get black, glossy oil on the ceiling. You want them out soon as possible if only to spare the delicate upholstery of the velvet booth seats.
And so it lets out a pitched shriek, interlaced with words of madness you can only hear inside your mind, and only see as you clench your eyes shut from the pain.
To your horror, you see a loyal preacher of the god of Tapestry be absolutely dusted, his mortal form physically unable to handle hearing the True Name of a god, especially one with such tenure.
You know in your core you will be blamed for this. In the meantime, you might as well clean his ashes off of the bar stool and gather them in an urn.
That both sounds amazing as a story tbh. But for it to fit more my way of being it would need only a bit of a tweek.
As the God of Barista people usually know that I get along with people quite easily and I do have high respect for manners.
I would throw out of my cafe any being that can't keep a basic sense of decency and doesn't see the issue in their behavior.
And as a deity of learning and inspiration (cause Hot drinks are often drank by people while studying, working or being creative) I'd also like to talk with mortals and either help them or give Tipps.
Some smaller gods would probably ske for some stuff either but the mortals are always Suprised than I talk to a God cause they can barely see them but feel their presence.
But's the thing. Elder gods have the most extreme form of tenure. They've existed longer than life itself. As a god of people who artisanally prepare coffee, you can't have existed until there was coffee and the need for people to professionally prepare coffee. Elder gods have no concept of decency.
And it's not exactly like they can control the drippings or the fact they're highly corrosive. It's been that way literally forever. You've existed for a relative minute, and now you expect them to be able to adapt to "human(anthro?) manners" when it already took eons for them to figure out the whole "corporeal form" thing.
As a God even we adapt to the people. All of us divine beings.
We as God's are mere idols of the things people tell as we are.
That's why ares is often angry. Not because he wants to but because people imagine him this way as the God of War.
If the eldritch being wants my coffee, and judging by your scenario it's must be so good that they really want it, then I can still make an arrangement. And give him a special seat outside.
I care for all my guests equally no matter their origin. And if he exists longer than live or just a few seconds is irrelevant.
I do understand their issues and thats why I try to find a solution for everyone.
Well, as I already established in previous posts.
That I'm the God of Barista is not just a fursona, it is what I am, my divine beast shape is just a part of my divine abilities that I can turn into.
If kiss is the language of love then jsbskeien whein ashlen domn kebdisne (pure gibrish And not even i know what the punch line was but it was something about "no i will not kiss you". Idk anymore it's 3:17 and i am tried)
I remember the old version of this that was about a collar and leash! https://www.reddit.com/r/furry_irl/comments/akp6q9/cute_irl/ a very classic and cute meme
I didn't find any posts that meet the matching requirements for r/furry_irl.
It might be OC, it might not. Things such as JPEG artifacts and cropping may impact the results.

The consequences of the industrial revolution

What do whales have to do with anything
Love
alrighty then
I, the God of Barista, norse mythologian descendent and proud owner of the Dragonwolf divine beast shape. Says Yes
”Dionysus, your cousin is here!”
Dionysus? Idk we could be related but I am only born a hand full of decades old.
25 years or 2500 years isnt a big difference when were talking about gods now is it?
Yeah you're right. What are a few millenia difference in the divine realm.
Wait, Dragonwolf? That's a species? So I'm *not* a freak of nature?
Well. There are Dragonwolfs as a species but my shape accumulated due to the fact that one of my ancestors is Fenrir and his beast shape got other generations mixed with the beast shape of a dragon who my ancestors paired with at some point.

Is Barista a place or are you just the patron god of Starbucks
A Barista is a craftsman of Hot drinks. And I, as a God of the new age, I am not more than just a humble representative. Like, interestingly most gods were.
What's the minimum wage for gods? Half a cup of nectar of ambrosia an hour?
1. That would be not enough. 2. Are you under the impression I work for Starbucks? Cause as every God I do work for and represent myself.
