As an old man, it is …frustrating to see the ‘nothing happened before I was born’ crowd telling us the world is doomed.

It’s selfish, privileged position and a worrying sign of excess news consumption.

Stop being selfish and get some help.

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.

No hits for me this year 😒

Missing a couple of zeros

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.

Slaps !

Cos the bastards stopped me banging my shield

Imagine if they hadn’t spent all that money shutting down community radio stations over the years…

I would like something proves the “interconnectedness of all things” as Douglas Adams put it……something that proves individualism is a disease or a flaw, that could be eliminated, unlocking whole earth potential.

I would settle for evidence of Gaia theory that proves if humans don’t get our shit together, Mother Earth will give someone else a chance .

….She said on Lemmy, a platform provided for free and free of ads by volunteers.

Every day I’m more persuaded that in the main, Lemmy got the dregs of Reddit during the exodus, who are the nastiest most argumentative, most poorly informed shitheads the internet has to offer.

It’s so the AI can reminder you to buy chicken nuggets, if you plan on having them every night next week as well.

Where will we get our ‘ooo’ now ?

It’s very real
