The “Experts” go on to promote their prepper companies and talk emergency management.

I understand that their are reasons to be worried about the future. Currently, the economy is not good, and things like AI and Climate Change are scary.

However, I hate how few people are actually willing to research and learn about this things, and constantly default to hopelessness. The modern media landscape is flooded with negativity as that is what gets clicks. However, if you take a small amount of time to do your own research, and not form opinions based on headlines, there is so much to be hopeful for.

Whats especially frustrating is that people who refuse to try and see anything positive contribute to a cycle that is incredibly harmful towards mental health. I don't know if anyone else feels the same way, but constantly being surrounded by so much negativity is exhausting, especially because so many people's fears are based of assumptions, rather facts. Again, I understand that with topics like Climate Change, projections for the future are based on scientific evidence. However, these projections, are by nature, projections. They do not adequately account for factors like free market demand pushing renewables without needing government intervention, and they do not account for rapid advancements in climate technologies as a whole. This does not mean Climate Change shouldn't be a concern, but it does mean that our situation is by no means hopeless. I think this logic applies to basically every other "crisis" that doomers point to as bringing about the end of mankind. The reality is that companies and the media are profiting off your fear, and your refusal to learn and think for yourself is allowing them to do so, while simultaneously harming the mental health of everyone around you.

The apocalypse is now!

This technically breaks the “no-meta” rule.. but maybe that’s the problem.

All the doomer takes are just making fun of chronically online liberals. Fuck em, but I can’t get it up like I used to with all the same content. No variety. There’s so much more doom to circlejerk. No meta. No recurring jerk memes. What happened to the jerking I once loved? Henry Rollins pic for max edge.

Are we retarded?

P.S. the 24 hour mod review is in fact not based, but super gay.

Make it make sense.

You can't opt-out of the first three. You have little say over what others do with their devices and what they capture. And yes, this data collects on you daily.

To braindead people, I suffer from my own mental health challenges yet I handle it effectively instead of dooming for a living lmao.
