MrFlibble posted:The ironic detachment from life isn't quite as fun when you're looking at a happy infant and can see the future turning to ash. Whether it's fun or not is not the point, at least for people who use detachment as a defense mechanism (as I do, dunno about others). poo poo is gonna happen; some of it will suck. Maybe most of it will suck. Caring about it just makes me anxious, and does nothing to stop it — and I already have anxiety and depression completely unrelated to climate change, so I prefer not to pile more worries onto my plate. Hakuna matata.

As dire as things seem, you don't want to completely alienate your circle of friends. You will need some kind of a social group to form a proper post apocalyptic raider band!

Mine watched Lion King with me just this past week and afterwards they asked me about climate change while we got donuts since they know I look into this poo poo and when it came to them asking what they could do I told them kill millionaires and billionaires in the streets right now or work to mitigate whatever suffering you can. The killing the rich thing and pretending that it would do anything was me giving them false optimism to not completely kill the mood. Lion King sucked BTW it lacks the vibrant animation and character of the original, and also it's full of animals and places that are going to be extinct like by the time the blu-ray comes out.

Spending the last years before full blown crisis on hedonistic pleasures is a dumb idea. Unless you plan on killing yourself when things start to get bad, you're going to have to live with the guilt that not only did you do nothing, you exacerbated the problem. There's still a chance that not only can we get through this, but we can transform our society into something better. That should inspire you. You should reprogram yourself to find enjoyment in making the world a better place. If you decide to check-out and go gently caress anime in Tokyo, you are going to have to live with that for the rest of your life. You don't need to go to Tokyo. It's probably not that great anyways. It's definitely not great enough to participate in a opulent travel culture that is destroying the world. (USER WAS PUT ON PROBATION FOR THIS POST)

The cool part about the idea that we personally could have done anything is CO2 takes around 10 to 15 years of baking time to hit peak warming potential, meaning most of what we're feeling now was spewed out when Dubya or Obama were in office still, I barely had much idea about climate change back then other than what Al Gore and Day After Tomorrow said and was more concerned with the lovely PC ports of games that were coming out at the time. So you're already guilty and you should already feel bad.

having a small to moderate sum of money that lets you go to Tokyo and do all the pervert poo poo imaginable and writing it up like it’s some sort of act of great shame to not live like a fundamentalist Christian is a loving incredible rallying cry for a nigh-impossible climate change movement that literally nobody would ever wish to subscribe to. nothing is guaranteed anymore. enjoy what you can. rally around preserving these experiences for future generations. if our only salvation is living like loving cultists, then gently caress it, it wasn’t worth it to begin with.

My plan once a BOE becomes apparent is to message everyone I know telling them to do whatever they wanted to do before they died, but do it quickly, and then laugh at them as the Hypercane comes for us when they don't listen because I know a bunch of them can afford it.

I used to travel and do a lot of thrill seeking. And now that I've adopted a more humble and active lifestyle i can find just as much enjoyment as my wilder days. Not only that, the enjoyment I have is based off of relationships with people and groups in my community, so my life feels more meaningful. I highly doubt you'll get more satisfaction from jobs in Tokyo than trying to connect and and make a difference in your community. Anybody who suggests people to abandon hope and participate in an opulent bourgeoisie lifestyle during the biggest crisis of the loving universe should be one of the first put up against the wall.

This thread is full of cowardly bitch babies that will do anything to justify their laziness and inaction. You're worse than denialists. If you go do some traveling, maybe travel to Bangladesh or India. Go tell everyone you meet there: "hello my name is whiny crybaby. Your country is beautiful. Thank you for spending your entire lives in sweatshops making my lovely clothing. I decided to travel the world before it all goes to poo poo. Sorry that your neighborhood is going to be swallowed by the sea, that your first born will die from dehydration, and that the air you breath burns your lungs. That sucks. I was going to do something about it climate change, but there was a chance that none of my efforts would have matter. Doing something in vain sounds awful, so instead I came here to gently caress your prostitutes, eat your food, and buy your cheap poo poo before you all die in conditions worse than torture."
