Sometimes you just gotta pick someone to reply to the whole conversation going on

I would honestly rather have the time

I really resonate with your comment and also struggled with depression throughout my teens into adulthood until I learned about late diagnosed adhd and how those who fly under the radar for that can often lead to chronic burnout which is very similar looking to depression. Have you ever considered you might be ADHD?

Yeah maybe

I understand the intention behind when people say that “the doom and glom attitude is harmful to the fight”. I’ve heard it many times. But it’s kind of like telling a depressed person to just be happy. It’s like, oh wow never considered that k thanks I’m cured now /s. It’s just like hey fuck you for being depressed you’re killing the planet - it doesn’t do a while lot to help. I think you’re right of course. I still don’t know how to stop being overwhelmed and depressed by it all.

I appreciate the pep talk. I’m an engineer in water resources and do my best to help where I can. Sometimes I have outbursts on the Internet and sometimes I fall into frighteningly deep depression. I removed my ability to have children in my terror of bringing life into a the world so dark. So it’s not one or the other -be angry and do nothing or have hope and work towards a better future. I’m very angry and very frightened and very jaded… And I’m doing what I can to hopefully prove myself wrong. I would very much like to be wrong. I don’t have much hope most days and do believe the planet would be much better off of humans were at least much reduced in number. But I have loved ones and empathy for strangers, as well as a sense of self preservation so I don’t relish the thought of suffering. Things can be more than one thing at the same time. I’m not sure how to develop hope, and I’m not sure how people like yourself still carry any, but I have the kind of steadfast resolve to help my fellow humans reduce their suffering at the end. There’s a great deal of good that humans can do as well, art, music, stories, love. Those are the threads that keep me bobbing close to the surface. But yeah, I avoid the news almost entirely except for a few trusted sources and what I can’t help but run across on Lemmy, etc. I’m too sensitive clearly

Easy to say, harder to do

Indeed. I’m often overwhelmed by my feelings of fear and anger. Reading this gave me such a sense of futility, like wow I must be destined to die a slow and painful death of cancer, if poverty or civil uprising doesn’t get me first. Discussion seems silly at this point. Capitalism has sealed our fate, there’s little we can do to protect ourselves and our loved ones in this environment. Everyone should be just as angry. To not be this angry one must be dissociating… Which is what I’ll go back to now until the next article wakes up my fear and anger again.

Rather negative lol

Arrogant fucking humans. This story plays out every time. And they want to blot out the sun to control climate change… We deserve everything we get for our hubris. I can’t wait for humanity to collapse we are a scourge

Never ever ever ever ever give your bosses more information than they need. “I have a personal appointment that cannot be rescheduled” “I’m not comfortable discussing that”

This was a good sub, glad to see it here

All of my hot feed is old af

Or else what? If they don’t pay

I would rather that with wfh, than none but I have to go in to the office

Holy God please burn everything down and start over

That works! I love you for it🥰 thank you

It often doesn’t work well for very short words, or uncommon words and whenever I have to stop swiping to tap out individual words I feel like a time traveler being forced to use pre-historic tools.

You’re right you’re right, it’s just so painful to go from dark mode to blinding white I wish my preferences were the default mode for once in my life instead. Or better yet!!-- normalizing having a toggle for either one as basic to every website!! Omg please God can we have this

Lemmy/voyager noob here… When I click on that link it doesn’t open the community in voyager, it opens it in an internal browser where I’m not logged in so I can’t easily subscribe unless I log in or go back and search for the community. What do I need to do in order to get clicked links to open the community in voyager?
