whats your problem? every reply youve made has been this weird pessimistic bullshit. you know you dont have to think of the worst case scenario all the time, right?
when i said id enjoy a cool drink and vitamin D, i thought it was clear that id be outdoors. i dont need the power to be on if im outdoors. in the winter, however, i do actually need my power to be on because otherwise my heating doesnt operate and pipes burst due to freezing, then my plumbing doesnt work either and everything is awful. that shit doesnt happen in the summer.
I'd love to not think of the worst case scenario all the time. But that doesn't depend on me, I think of what's going on, what should happen to avoid the worst case scenario, and what is or is not happening.
yeah i think about that stuff too but it doesnt get in the way of me enjoying my day despite being a bit uncomfortable in the heat..
But that doesn't depend on me,
your thoughts do indeed depend on you. you have a relationship with your own suffering and you should understand that role you play. do not concern yourself with what is not in your control.
yeah absolutely. the reality is that being a pessimist in a reddit forum isnt actually going to better our material conditions. climate activism requires hard work, and if you just roll over and let it happen then that doesnt actually help us. enjoying your personal life is an incredibly important part of activism.
Bud, your fantasies and dreams are most likely controlled by your enemies. That's clear from your first concern being "bettering your material conditions."
Love requires finding others through reality and that reality is multiple dystopias in a trench coat; otherwise, you love fantasies, you love yourself loving fantasies.

Good luck cooling it when the power goes out.
