This has been a doozy of a year. And it’s the best year so far blah blah. So how are you all coping? Does it hit anyone else like a bolt of lightning that probably I - we - won’t die of old age?

    The biggest threat to your life from climate change is this kind of doomerism making you suicidal. I’ve been down that road myself.

    Either get off your ass and do something about it or stop worrying about it. You’re not helping anyone by making yourself sad.

        I’m not saying you are. You missed my point entirely.

          I’m asking for coping methods or strategies. For example, I sing a lot because it doesn’t contribute anything to capitalism and more fossil fuels being released, and it releases oxytocin so it makes me feel good. I also read and spend time with others, smoke cannabis, take psilocybin.

          That we don’t want to die, and don’t want the planet to die, shows that we are very much not suicidal so it’s just weird you brought that up at all lol.
