Just get some mental healthcare… Oh wait, also too expensive.
It’s the phones. It’s always the phones.
I can’t look at the news, people get so high and mighty when you tell them you avoid politics.
“You’re the reason why there’s so and so ruining things!!”
“I guess you don’t care about your future huh?”
“Yeah go hide in your hole”
Bitch, I have HEART PROBLEMS from stress, I literally cannot be absorbing that shit. And even if I didn’t have this problem, fucking leave it, it’s not your business how people try to cope in this shit hole of a reality
To clarify though, the news isn’t really politics. The news is theatre.
I agree that people can live their reality how they want but it also has to be remembered that everything is political so if you avoid politics it’s hard to complain when things aren’t going your way. Particularly if you live in a democratic system.
This video by the UK’s Electoral Commission always sticks in my mind about politics
I havent watched the news in like 20 years. I feel quite calm. Whats the point of worrying about news when you cant do anything about it?
You can still get armed and ready. You could be ready to save a person you love’s life. That’s something you can do about it.
This planet has - or rather had - a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movement of small green pieces of paper, which was odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.
I really feel like it’s time to worry about making a sustainable, entirely local effort to stop playing the game, and just have your own sources of necessity, like farms, ranches, people willing to build shelter, and just stop doing all this exterior shit. Because pretty soon here in the US the open corruption of kleptocrats is going to inevitably lead to everyone else not caring about the rules no one is paying to be enforced.
I’ve thought the same except climate change will lead to more rolling disasters. For instance, wouldn’t it be great to homestead, but what if extreme heat kills all your crops? You’re dead. This is a global problem that will only change through social change or not and 99% of us die.
Well, you’ve got to climate-proof it. At least try to. Hydroponics, which, if done right, is both more space efficient, less susceptible to disease and environmental hindrances, and requires much less water. Solar power generation loves the sun and the cells will not really care how hot it is (in realistic environments), they will only get more efficient. Go subterranean to a degree, and have your architecture style be inspired by things like Earthships.
Freshwater can be gotten from wells, rain traps or dehumidifiers. If you want animals, you will have to hold them in buildings similar to your own dwelling.
Keep in mind that this advice is for if you expect it to get hot in your area. However, parts of Europe will tend to get colder due to climate change, at least at certain times of the year.
Yeah what’s the word on jet stream collapse? I haven’t heard about it in a couple years.
