Finding things I can do, and people I can help. Get involved and get organized!
Bold of you to assume Im sane.
China installed 181 GW of solar power capacity from January to October 2024. It’s installing about 200 GW of solar every year. In about 20 years we will have so much renewable energy and renewable storage mechanisms that oil will no longer be a reason for wars. In 100 years from now generative AI might exist and humans will be on Mars. Everything I do that’s constructive for the world, that isn’t exploitative, keeps these positive developments progressing however slowly so that future generations of humanity will not know our suffering.

I believe you mean Artificial General Intelligence (AGI) We currently use generative AI.
…keeps these positive developments progressing slowly so that future generations of humanity will not know our suffering.
Hear hear!
Nothing, I just wait for unbridled rage to give me a fatal heart attack, or for a driver to run me over to get out of a parking lot or driveway a second sooner.
The responses are rough, man 😅 Some of y’all are hanging on just out of spite - which is totally valid tho. Hope you all will be able to find beauty in the world again and enjoy life!
For me it’s my family. Had a real fucking shitty day yesterday. Everything went wrong and then some. Then just got a glimpse of a picture of my son playing with his grandparents, laughing, happy. That was it, my day got 1200% better that instant.
Same, although my offspring has already left the nest, but addition to the Mrs I got my house full me plants and animals.
Maybe I’m not that sane 🤔
Ahh, yes. I can also add plants and pets to the list!
Go over bury your face in the plushy fur of your dog/cat? Day suddenly looks way less gloomy.
And fuck, it is a good feeling to see a new leaf or bloom sprouting from your favourite plant-Bro 👌
Just singing this song everytime something happens https://m.youtube.com/watch?v=T2T0vdfT1ps
The fact that I see and hear my family’s ethos in everything The Right does. That makes me angry beyond comprehension and motivates me to keep going out of sheer spite.
The assholes who raised me didn’t manage to break me, not enough to take me out of the game. The assholes who rule us now have their work cut out for them, because I came out stronger.
An egg?
I try to channel all these lessons I picked up in therapy like “everyone is trying their best” and “we’re all just billiard balls”
Prozac and therapy.
Which honestly, is working. If only I arrived at this method sanely, rather than nearly ending it all and winding up in a hospital.
Glad to hear you’re on the mend, friend. The world is a better place for having you in it. ❤️
Despite the sheer absurdity and chaos of it all, glad we’re sharing this weird spaceship called Earth during these wild times.
Rooting for you. 🤙
“Messages like yours” is my answer to the post.
Well ain’t you sweet, cheers! 😏
Rock climbing (indoor) is the only thing, but honestly it’s been dark recently and I’m not sure I can last another 25 years until I could retire.
It helps to realize that all times are troubled times.
The first noble truth of buddhism is: “Life is suffering”.
Not “Life in this decade in this country is suffering”. It’s not a locally-scoped phenomenon.
nihilism
Simple, I don’t get knee deep into politics and whatever everyone else is doom scrolling on.
you’ve heard about global warming though, right? You don’t exactly need to doomscroll to at least have an intellectual understanding of what kind of situation we’re in.
My wife and dog (a little tiny Chihuahua). Regardless of what happens in the world, they’ll be there for me, so I can take comfort in that at least. Married six years this year and have had the dog for four years.
This is basically me, we’ve been married five years but she had the two dogs (one chihuahua, one mixed chihuahua) since about 2013.
I work from home and am super attached to the dogs. We live in California in a big apartment in a small building so I’ve always got the doors open and they’re happy. I walk them on my lunches and they really do keep me sane.
The one I’m more attached to (despite trying not to play favorites) even plays with me now (even though chihuahuas are typically not playful), and when he wants something we do this weird thing where I keep jabbing my hand at his paw and he does the same to me.
I never wanted pets due to the responsibility but these little guys have totally won me over and I love them to the moon and back!
Chihuahuas are the best. My gf’s is as playful as he is affectionate and the friendliest little doggo.
Honestly, sticking my head in the sand in a way. I deleted all social media from my phone (minus Lemmy) and un-joined any news communities on here. I’m trying to keep my world smaller so I can stay sane and keep those dearest to me taken care of as best as I can.
Honestly, it’s worked a treat. I feel a little guilty for not rallying for the cause or keeping up with the world, but it’s just too much.
Your eyes are a commodity. Choose wear they go. Anger and fear is what they need to keep your eyes on their media.
