Also got some Adam Driver vibes

I’d be more worried for her safety then if that’s true

I already have more media than I could watch in a lifetime on a home server, if we lose new media I can happily enjoy the old stuff for decades to come

I get possession of my first house this Friday, very happy to say HOAs aren’t really a thing in Canada

I’m 28 and next month will be the first time I won’t be living with family. Use the supports you have and try to save and train up. That’s how you get stable these days. Hope you can pull something off man!

Nah, I feel like it’s one of those trade offer memes:

I get: To replace your critical thinking skills

You get: To help us use the energy and water equivalent to a small nation

Never felt like a good deal, you know?

*Looks at capitalism*

…Checks out.

It’s a can

Aw hell, if it’s collapsed I’ll just start a big “drive” in theater and have community showings! No society means no copyright enforcement!

Just bought a house after years of hunting. I’m /absolutely/ building a home theater in the basement to enjoy my home media server from once I can afford it in…17 years or so, assuming society hasn’t collapsed by then.

Weirdly wholesome really, it’s about acknowledging your role models and thanking them for being there. Sure it’s a bit parasocial but he’s championing their causes so I can see why they’d want to express gratitude.

One must imagine Sisyphus happy.

I got laid off in March of 2020, shit was burning down and I decided I’d use the time to improve myself and go to college at 24. Now I’m 28 with a government job, a loving girlfriend and a plan to buy a house this year. Plant. The. Tree.

I’ve responded, best of luck with the study!

I’ll die on this hill with you fellow person of culture.

The banality of evil certainly wasn’t invented by Nazis and it definitely didn’t end with them

Well it’s been a chat but I’m gonna go. Good luck with the doomsday prepping.

I feel like at that point you’re kinda moving the goalposts. Your question was a condescending one about what I’ll do “when this country collapses” not about climate change.

Climate change as a whole is another issue and not one that knowing how to use a hammer or fix a plumbing issue is going to magically spare you from. I’m doing what I can to prepare for the realities that might follow but as you point out, nothing and no one but the billionaires are safe (and probably not even them considering their staff are still real people and not robots).

I’m not having kids, I’m living small, but I’m also not living in fear of what I can’t control. Fuck man, we’re ex-redditors for crying out loud. We don’t I Am Legend a way out of this, we don’t magically survive because we went camping a lot. Get real and stop kidding yourself that your career will make one lick of difference unless it puts you in reach of billionaires and their private bunkers.

I know you mean well, but it’s not a good look.

Fun fact: there are people who don’t live in the United States, we exist.

Personally I don’t give a fuck about blue collar vs white collar. We’re all working class in the end dude, and basing your whole life’s trajectory around fear is a very sad way to live. God knows it’s possible to have hobbies that are practical without making them your life.

I hope you find some way to deal with your anxieties instead of letting them rule you.

This is a super shitty comment you wrote here dude. Gen Z isn’t having life handed to them any more than we millennials did. If anything it’s worse for them because inequality isn’t getting any less striking.

I’m a millennial who has a remote, work from home job, go ahead and shit on my career. Gen Z are our friends and allies in the end, they understand pretty well what we went through and they’ll almost certainly go through worse because gestures vaguely at the state and trajectory of everything. The pain Olympics suck and someone’s suffering doesn’t invalidate yours.

We gotta use the empathy the boomers didn’t, we need to be better and not continue generational infighting or the only people who win are the rich.
