Climate, not being able to retire on time
Rent is due in 27 days.
My lovely anxiety keeps it ever changing.

Not finding anyone to replace my ex in my heart. Someone not finding her and giving her the life we dreamed about.
She can’t be replaced
I know, I’m just unsure how to move on lifewise guiltwise lovewise
Have you grieved?
Yes, for about a year. I’m grieving still.
Do you have a lot of unresolved feelings? Did you get some sort of closure?
Feelings: I can’t shake away the thought that I’ve hurt her deeply. I mourn for the children we wanted to have. The house and the garden I promised. The stolen fertile years of her life. I hurt someone whose only crime was not quite being able to share the same headspace as me. I felt lonely in the relationship due to the language and the alien culture, but since I’ve been alone and moved back to my home country I’ve realised that I tend to just generally live in my head, regardless of language or company.
I feel that my loneliness problem wasn’t coming from her somewhat difficulty in hearing me, but in my difficulty sharing aspects of myself with others. I feel that I’ve ruined my life, and that’s okay, completely self-inflicted… but I can’t live with the idea that I’ve ruined hers too. The thought and the guilt buries me every night.
Closure: we’ve said goodbye a thousand times, and have talked about the above themes, but I can’t shake away the memories I have with her.
Sounds like a many incomplete closures? So you keep talking with each other or where are you now?
Fascism & climate collapse.
Ending up in a labor camp within the next 4 years
Have you considered moving to some civilized place?

Most of us are far too broke.
It takes a one way ticket and ask for political asylum. Or something. If you have proof of ancestry somewhere in Europe you can get citizenship.

i worry our species is irreversibly doomed. honestly, i feel certain we are yet i refuse to act as though i believe it. if i give in and give up and sit back and wait for the worst to come then i won’t be able to say “i tried” to whichever younger generation asks the rest of us why we did nothing and let the human race go extinct. climate change will likely bring about the end but any number of things could happen before then, and capitalism will have spearheaded all of them.
I often get stuck in a frustrating loop of thought when I ponder the point of all of this.

My job ends up eradicated in this grand shutdown, we could meet up at the forest and foot race the deer?
A modern day Carrington Event would probably fuck us up pretty bad, so in a way, I’m right there with you
All my mechanical keyboards would be useless
If the entire Internet/power grid just shut down permanently, it probably wouldn’t take very long until you (and everyone around you) died. It’s not just your entertainment anymore.
Electricity obviously keeps your electric appliances going, including HVAC. Even if it’s gas, it probably needs electricity to work (e.g. fans on the furnace).
Electricity at a grid level keeps the natural gas flowing. Any backup options would quickly deplete.
It’s also necessary for gasoline, since it all stops flowing if it can’t be billed. Remember the gas shortage because of a ransomware attack? Those systems won’t have power very long.
You won’t have tap water, nor would there be clean/treated water at the source.
Now, what if you had electricity, but there was no longer any Internet? Well, that’s a little better. It’s possible that emergency operations could be implemented (using the military) to keep you barely alive, until things could be fixed. But let’s just assume the Internet is completely gone. Then what happens?
Remember when I mentioned the ransomware attack? Those systems probably don’t have an offline mode. If they can’t bill for it, the gas stops flowing.
No credit cards, no bank transfers, no phones. The public Internet is now the medium for nearly all communication outside of an org.
You can’t buy food at the grocery store, but it won’t matter for long because they can’t order anything more, and the trucks can’t deliver it.
Most people would be dead in about a week, maybe 2.
Start buying books and physical video games and download stuff xd
Right now, climate change. This planet was a paradise and we ruined it for ourselves. I don’t think we have very long before ecosystems just start breaking down in massive ways.

Well, considering on all the other planets we know about its “die or be dead”, I’d classify that as “paradise”
Im really mad and worried about the world my kids are inheriting.
Job, lack of relationship/connection, climate, existing in a semi burnout state.
Overpopulation and regression of social advances.
Probably about my pets
Me too. Just tonight I lost my cat, and found her hours later, with a tomcat on top… Doctor said she’s too young to be spayed, he was wrong…
