Hey chat is it a good thing if:

  • there’s a looming energy crisis
  • a bunch of crops are having really low yields
  • there are lakes and rivers completely drying up
  • we’re about to enter a super El Niño
  • data/fusion centers are polluting/consuming the water/air en masse
  • thousands of people have died in India due to heat before summer’s even officially hit
  • and there’s another pandemic brewing in Africa just prior to millions of people traveling for the World Cup?

How long do we have before shit starts to break down due to lack of food and water, even in the imperial core? I give it less than a year at best.

We are very fucked.

Unfortunately just when I start to not feel as miserable and like life might be worth living.

Excellent! What fun would a revolution be if you wanted to die? che-smile

I do not have high hopes for a revolution tbh, climate is going to kill us before that

Also life just sucks :shrug-outta-hecks:

Hey I just figured out some nutritional deficiencies that were messing me up for years, have a lot of my health in order now and for the first time in decades feel moderately functional… at least the bright side is that I’ll be somewhat capable of resisting whatever violence comes next right?

Also as lame as it is this tends to make me think back on the LOTR quote of Frodo talking about being dragged into his struggle:

“I wish it need not have happened in my time," said Frodo. "So do I," said Gandalf, "and so do all who live to see such times. But that is not for them to decide. All we have to decide is what to do with the time that is given us.”
