  • Because many people are living in conditions significantly worse than OP describes ,with widespread poverty oppression and crime …. Today. And they are getting in with life, and having families, and supporting one another - not writing embittered murder fantasies on the internet.

    Try telling your tale of woe to any one from Sudan, Haiti, Kurdistan, Afghanistan, Somali, Yemen, Palestine of course, and countless other war torn places, they’d just laugh.




  • I have a love hate relationship with CoD Black Ops Cold War. It stops me enjoying other games. I need something the break the addiction !

    Over the last 10 year I’ve only played a few games that I would say were awesome and they are all pretty obvious.

    GTA 5, stardew vallley, god of war, subnautica, dirt rally, cod Cold War, AC Odyssey.

    I have a backlog, but I think the dopamine hit of a good CoD round prevents me picking them up.





  • The question is better but thus : what lead you to doomerism ?

    The answer will almost certainly not be your lived experience or the lived experience of your loved ones. Instead the answer will probably be media consumption.

    It is now well documented that news has both a negative bias, and also that excessive consumption is detrimental to health : https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC7187375/

    So, :

    1. read less news.
    2. focus on your daily life in your community
    3. Learn meditate

    Secondly, and don’t take this the wrong way, but you mention the ‘the last moments of society’ which is a very privileged and arrogant view to take, when there are people who have lived through war, lived through famine, lived through brutal oppression and come out the other side .

    In fact, the dystopian picture you paint, is the lived reality for some people TODAY. So check your privilege.
