Pretty sure climate change is already here.
That, unfortunately, is true.
Yep, have to do all those things all the while it's too hot/humid/cold/wet/dry in some wild random combination.
Dead end low paying job with no benefits while suffering major burnout, ayo gottem
i got to eat a piece of pork stomach this weekend 😔
I've had two servings of soylant green as a treat
My advice is to live your life as best as you can without worrying too much about things you can't control. Try and build a life around yourself that'll help you be happy through it all, regardless of what happens. Enjoy your 20's. 30's are good too and 40's don't suck either.
To paraphrase Sun Tzu: do not choose a path to victory. Instead, choose a strategy such that all paths lead to victory.
And don't have kids.
Don't want em to suffer worse shit down the road.
Have kids if you want. It's just insane to me to plan your entire life and make major decisions on a cataclysm that may or may not even occur in your lifetime; and it (climate change) may present in ways that we can't even imagine now.
Edit, fine, fuck me, it's raining fire and brimstone out there, billions of people are dying in the streets, the horsemen of the apocalypse are here, it's game over for the human species, my bad. Nobody have kids, it's over, might as well just shoot yourself right now.
May not even occur? Mate, it is occurring right fucking now.
Seriously. This isn't the bible where people prophitized the world will end in 130ad. We are in it now. This is happening, and educated people have been warning everyone about it.
*Bible apocalypse year estimated
Um... It's literally happening right now. They told our grandparents "it'll be your grandchildren who will really suffer"
We're the grandchildren. Food and water shortages, people dying from the heat, floods, pandemics. All of it is happening in first world countries. The US, Europe, China... Last year, this year, next year
We're past the "slowly gets worse" phase. We fucked around for that. We're starting the "find out" phase
Relax, we're not having kids cause we can't afford them.
See, capitalists think of everything!
My advice is to learn how to grow food and save seeds. I'm doing it now to develop my skills in anticipation of some day needing those skills.
I am shocked at how quickly everyone is giving up.
We can't just quit and go gently into that good night. All life on the planet is depending on us.
"Kid, don't you want to work hard and be able to retire in a nice beach house like mine?"
"But your house is isn't on a beach..."
"By the time you retire, it will be. And it'll be worth so much then."
I actually think about this. All those houses that are streets away from the beach are going to make so much more in the future because the beach will move.
I know someone who bought a flat which likely be flooded in 40 years time.
On the bright side you can retire to a coastal town without having to actually move house.
A whole new wooooorld ! Where the heat will give you a stroke, famine will rise and the rich will hide ! A world where you wish you died or never was ever born. You'll remember the days of the past and ask yourself why we did nothing but alas it is too laaaate to change anything now. (Aladdin new song )
It's never too late to find their lairs and slay those dragons.
Male pattern baldness is the correct answer actually
Why is it always a male pattern? Can't I get like... A bear pattern baldness or a hawk pattern baldness?
Somebody's got a case of the Mondays! Have you tried being more mindful?
It's almost as if we should be spending our time working to mitigate climate change and helping build societal resilience instead of working on meaningless careers....
at this point we need to be spending all our money on SURVIVING climate change. We can work on mitigating as well, but we're past the point of no return and still arguing if it's even an actual thing lol.
It's funny to see this comment downvoted so heavily (-14 at the time). I wonder if it's disagreement or just "I don't like that idea"...
The simple facts are we've dumped over 2 trillion tons of CO2 into the atmosphere. A bit over half has been absorbed by the oceans. We have no realistic way of removing it. And combined with other GHGs it's driving an unstoppable global warming. We can talk about reducing emissions and renewables. But even if we stopped all emissions today, it still wouldn't be enough to prevent the global average temperature from continuing to increase.
Ah, the End of the Human Race, wonder what the afterlife's like? Cause that's my retirement plan, Valhalla.
In case anyone is wondering, no one is going to announce that the worker's revolution has begun. No one is planning it. The vast majority of people in North America don't believe climate change is real. To believe in an existential threat to humanity is to attempt to do something about it on a grassroots level. Start getting everyone you know to understand what's at stake. Fuck if they think you're being annoying or dramatic. The alternative is we all die at our post/desk/cash register of heat stroke or starvation.
It's winter where I live. Temperature should be around 10ºC but some places registered 30ºC. And this week we'll have our 4th hurricane of 2023. My house is old and I fear soon I'll wake up without a roof.
My anxiety is so bad today. I keep trying to find new ways to deal with it, meds, meditation, exercise, but how the fuck am I supposed to keep up?
fucking so right
I always imagined me dying like woody harrelson in 2012.
At least I bought a pool ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Mate, you've dropped this: \
All my friends and coworkers didn’t start a family until their 30s. Unless their parents were rich and therefore were immune to challenges in life.
