There is no use in getting overwhelmed. I am merely getting more practiced in drinking larger and larger amounts of whiskey and smoking larger and larger amounts of cannabis to deal with it.

We all have a process

And hopefully, at least most of us will survive.

If not, for all of you fascists: I have a plan to destroy all of you that involves an enormous amount of pee. Like, so much, you can’t fucking imagine. An absolute cavalcade of pee.

Don’t try me

I mean, let's be real.

It's gonna get a whole lot worse.

[-] CheeseToastie@lazysoci.al 24 points 2 days ago

I hope you're wrong. I really, really hope.

[-] AeonFelis@lemmy.world 6 points 2 days ago

Hey, at least you (still) have hope!

[-] M1ch431@slrpnk.net 4 points 2 days ago* (last edited 2 days ago)

Hope is something that we all can have, we just have to nurture it and ground it into reality. If you can't nurture it, you're not broken or lesser.

Personally, the fediverse has given me a lot of hope.

This. I am prepping for such a worse outcome than where we are at right now.

[-] RememberTheApollo_@lemmy.world 34 points 2 days ago

Yeah. Especially living in a society actively sliding towards some of the worst features described in some of the fictional worlds I enjoyed in novels coupled with a police state. It was never perfect, ever, but the amplification of the awful parts is really depressing.

Story of my life! 😁😂😭

[-] BranBucket@lemmy.world 9 points 2 days ago

This weekend I built a shed in my back yard, which was a nice bit of father-son bonding, and stockpiled ammo in case civil unrest causes widespread violence to break out in our neighborhood.

Definitely a strange vibe.

Okay, sure, the Faro plague has consumed all of Eurasia, but have you considered seeing a therapist?

Fuck Ted Faro

I see the housing bubbles all over the world and am glad I wasn't born 10 years later. I'm also screwed for not being born 10 years earlier.

Well people aren't having kids anymore so I guess we're doing what we can

Every child that isn't born is a life saved.

Do you ever statement framed as a question?

[-] BradleyUffner@lemmy.world 10 points 3 days ago

Society has a lot of inertia.

[-] Novamdomum@fedia.io 8 points 2 days ago

When the weight of the world feels overwhelming, remember this: Everything humans have ever done, every building, road, machine, and moment, makes up only a tiny fraction of this planet’s mass. We are small creatures, clinging to the surface of a vast, ancient, quietly turning sphere. The Earth itself is not in crisis. It simply is. Steady, silent, and endlessly patient. If human noise becomes too much, just place your hand on the ground. Feel the stillness. Let it remind you that you are connected to something far older, far larger, and far more enduring than any headline or heartbreak. The Earth will hold you.

Everything humans have ever done, every building, road, machine, and moment, makes up only a tiny fraction of this planet’s mass.

Oh boy do i have news for you

... but i agree with you. Even if humanity ceases to exist for whatever reason, both the planet Earth and life/evolution will go on just fine. We're a merely given a chance, but if we can make it, depends on us.

No, because it isn't even close to real distopia. Especially for people in most rich nations.

[-] JustJack23@slrpnk.net 30 points 3 days ago

Distopias can take many different forms, you haven't felt the boundaries because you haven't stretched. Also I recommend the book "brave new world" for a view of a distopia that doesn't oppress with power but softer means.
