I might just be overly pessimistic but I honestly think it’s already too late to fully avert a climate crisis. Over here in the UK we have just had our hottest May on record at over 35 degrees Celsius. 35 C, in the middle of May, in the fucking United Kingdom is not normal under any definition of the word. We’ve gone from being memed on for it constantly raining to having water droughts in summer.

Despite that, everyone is addicted to LLMs, our public transport is like something from the 1940s and Nigel Farage who is almost certainly going to be our next prime minister wants to scrap net zero. All this to say, I’m not very optimistic.

If Reform UK think immigration is too high now then wait until half the planet is uninhabitable.

For the foreseeable future? Quite.

It's either socialism or extinction. That fact is becoming obvious to even average people.

The best time to go vegan was the earliest moment it became possible in your individual circumstances. The next best time is right now.

Everything always looks most fucked before we make it based. Please repeat my cringe until we get revolution.

You do not have to worry about the Ebola epidemic in Africa rn. So long as it does not become suddenly airborne (which this strain is not particularly likely to do iirc) we will be fine. Much of Ebola's ability to spread is aided by the DRC's inadequate medical system and armed conflicts. Ebola is an awful and existentially dreadful disease that will naturally occupy your mind but I insist that its potential to become a pandemic is low.

Everything pretty much sucks tho yeah

Everything under heaven is utter chaos

It’s been really nice knowing y’all

I mean, I’m kidding

Or am I

Seriously ten years ago I’d have a shine to put on this turd. I can’t anymore. I don’t even know anymore.

Partially spurred on by a post on true anon, I think that AI is skynet using time travel to send back terminators in the form of Scam Altman to build so many datacenters it speedruns human extinction.

We are very fucked.

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

We're all gonna die one way or another, whether it be from climate/economic collapse or in bed in a post-revolution state.

The dialectical view of everything being fucked is it creates openings for well-organized revolutionaries to seize power. Think of how apocalyptic WWI seemed (at least to countries that hadn't already experienced the colonization apocalypse in the centuries prior). It was also the closest we've ever been to a global communist revolution, barely failing to cascade through Europe.

The capitalists are gonna suffocate in their bunkers while we rebuild society without them.

Either capitalism dies or Mother Earth dies.

Pretty dang fucked, but I think we're way more likely to see another round of price gouging on food than actual shortages, at least in the short term. Water is really down to region, some areas are okay, some are already depleted but won't realize it for a few years.

I’ll die of a heart attack. I’m just worried about what my children will face.
