Imo it's the great filter. Like the universe is performing pincer movement on human civilization.

I'm fine. Covid isnt causing chaos anymore, WFH is optional (thankfully, i don't like it), I don't really care about Twitter or Netflix, reddit is a shame but there are alternatives, my mortgage rate is fixed at 1.8% for 30 years, Trump is on the other side of the ocean...

Most of the sh*t going on the in the world doesn't have very big impact on my life. Some do, but when I can't influence it (on my own) I try to not let it affect my mood.

I have lived through so many "once in a lifetime" category events that I'm just TIRED now. I want to have a nap.

I had a thought about all the alien stuff and if its true why the US government kept it a secret, and I was like "oh of course, its because the government is made of aliens"

I had to take a moment and think about how plausible that now feels lol.

I'm good. Helping in local community, which makes those global issues less touching. However I know, they're important, but I'd gone mad if I was thinking about the all the time.

It feels like that time at a party where everything escelates. But not in a good way, more like something resulting in the worst hangover of humanity. Being over 30 I dread this hangover.

I try not to get too caught up in world events. Right now I'm trying to make some improvements in my personal life. I got a new job which I haven't started yet, and I want to buy a new car once I get paid.

Global issues are obviously important, but don't neglect your own life and your own community.

welcome to the decline. join us on c/collapse

I saw the title and thought it was going to be exciting/positive haha

Terrified... I don't know what to do. I don't know what anyone can do about all of this... Can anything be done about this mess? People have been trying to make things not relentlessly terrible all the time starting from their local levels for decades, centuries even, and things are still fucking awful. Less awful, of course, but that's not the same as not awful. And it seems like a lot of the bad news is a lot bigger, more frequent, and goes on longer than any good news I've seen and it feels like all anyone has to say on it is either "OH GOD WE'RE ALL DOOMED" or "[insert vague platitude here]". That or "MWAHAHAHA I'M GOING TO MAKE THINGS WORSE" because apparently a lot of politicians love acting like Hitler and a cartoon villain had a baby and they're what came out. Ridiculous. ~Cherri

Cyberpunk baby!

Canadian wild fires as well.

I've been waiting for an AI that can usher us into the technological singularity, and I think we're finally on the cusp of evolution and immortality.

From what I heard, the netflix password sharing change ended up being a net-increase in subscribers even accounting for the exodus caused by it.

So while they were going downhill for a while I think their password sharing crackdown surprisingly benefited them.
