All of the above unfortunately
How about and environmental and economic collapse caused by ai, while fighting WW3, leaving us helpless to combat the next pandemic.
Ever since 2022 the jack-in-a-box music has been playing and Jack sure is taking his sweet fucking time.
There’s going to be a lot of starvation in the near future.
What’s going to happen when ai takes control of your mom’s bluetooth vibrator?
only “ai takeover” that is going to happen is mass surveillance so billionaires can control us better, if we let them.
we’re gonna let them
I’m gonna wing it.
This is why I cry all the time.
Do what I do. Stockpile stuff to get through the first 2-4 weeks. But have your house sabotaged in such a way that anything useful to anyone is destroyed, eat a fistful of sleeping pills and a deadmans switch to burn the whole thing down.
Ew
Yeah sounds like “single bearded alcoholic” is an apt username
SingleMalt is a type of scotch
This resonates with me
Oh, you can forget all of those things. Just get up now and go outside. Take everything in. Because soon it will never be like that ever again. Climate change is going to destroy so much.
Yup. If the infinite growth machine can’t make a profit fixing climate change, it simply won’t be fixed.
No amount of home recycling, power saving, water reduction, etc. you can do will offset the pollution generated by companies in the pursuit of money.
But they were, all of them, deceived, for another Ring was made
Yup, the rubber tree shortage. The ENTIRE modern world relies on this one renewable resource, and its in critical decline. We harvest them faster than we can plant to grow :)
Oh fook, has Peter Thiel launched another company!?
A ring called ‘irreversible and catastrophic environmental damage’.
(Not just climate change, either – though that’s a big part of it. Also everything from microplastics to overfishing.)
PFAS is gonna fuck us, but simultaneously is super useful. Not much modern indoor plumbing works without ptfe paste/tape somewhere.
I wonder if it’s one of the great filters.
I’m so fucking tired, bros.
You are going to die no matter what. There was never any outcome where you live forever. It doesn’t set you back, it sets you free.
In the past, despite death, you could look forward to leaving a legacy and a better world for future generations.
Nobody has such hope anymore. It’s almost universally agreed that our children’s lives will be worse than ours.
It’s not universally agreed. You’re just terminally online. Lemmy is full of despair. There’s hope outside of the Internet.
its not the dying i fear, it is the suffering along the way
Life IS suffering.
You’re doing it wrong
life is a detour to death. you know what they say, the most beautiful flowers grow besides the road, not on it.
The most beautiful flowers grow beside the road, but the best drugs are found on the streets. - Jesus H. Christ
Did you know that the “H” stands for Howard? It was a custom in the Christ family for middle names of all the boys to be Howard.
Anyone who says otherwise is selling something
The people down voting me disagree. They are privileged.
Dying would be a relief at this point. I’m not afraid of dying. I’m afraid for the 5 lives that depend on me to make it through every dumbass decision this administration makes to line their own pockets while taking from mine. These fluctuations occur every Sunday to manipulate money markets and give some white dude a huge boner.
Your nihilistic views may sound cool in your head, but caring for a family in this economy is far more detailed than just waiting to die.
If you’re too cowardly for a revolution you’re voting for this risk death or assure it or just hope everyone else is better than you and you’re just uniquely a piece of shit is that really better
Which administration?
So you choose to be a doomer and worry about things you can’t control. Got it. I’ve got kids. I choose not to worry about things I can’t control and do what I can about the things I can control.
Your nihilistic views may sound cool in your head
An entire religion/philosophy that has lasted over 2500 years was based on the concept, but I guess you got it all figured out. Honestly, your hostility speaks louder than your words. Sounds like you have a lot going on, and I hope you find your way.
I hope we all find our way.
Amen, brother.
Here’s my philosophy:
If it’s something I can’t control then it’s not worth worrying about.
If it’s something I can control then it’s not worth worrying about.
Definitely all of the above.
AI takeover causes economic collapse. Economic collapse causes WW3. WW3 causes another pandemic. (And, meanwhile, climate change is slowly destroying the environment, accelerating the economic collapse, worsening the pandemic, and being accelerated by AI and WW3.)
Yep, we’re already last the tipping point. Enjoy what ya got while it still exists because we are fucked
None of the above. Living in ignorance of things you can’t fix anyway is comfy
