I have a 13-year old son I love more than life itself, and my greatest regret is bringing him into this world. It was not my place to create yet another source of suffering in this pit of eternal damnnation. I will definitely not make the same mistake again. Luckily I'm currently pretty much infertile.

I already know how this will pan out. Trump will lose the popular vote but get the electoral college - or at the very least claim to.

The fact that even polling is so close is tremendously disappointing. In 2016 people could claim ignorance on how a Trump presidency would play out. No one has that excuse in 2024 anymore.

I pray for the US of A but I'm afraid the battle was already lost long ago. All of this is just for optics. Illusion of choice and all that.

And his trusted sidekick Thatcher from across the pond.

Everything, considering we'll be fighting each other over puddles of standing water in about two to three decades. Today's life will seem like paradise in comparison, even for people who are currently suicidal.

Currently going through this. I loathe my company and its higher ups. Crisis after crisis after crisis. Never any acknowledgement, let alone reward.

My company offers two free mental health consultations. Per year. Also in the midst of a "we care!" campaign.

No you don't. In fact the opposite.

Sometimes I wish I worked for the Mafia. At least then we wouldn't have to pretend anyone cares about doing the right thing.

I hate this world and almost everyone on it. Myself most of all. 100% powerless to stop any of this. I want off this hellworld.

Ahh yes. Nothing like killing a perp and a few bystanders for a few dollars' worth of fare. USA! USA!

I've proven this so many times yet still yearn for more. I suppose it's masochism at this point.

We wouldn't even be able to restart. All the easily available resources have been delved. Three thousand years ago people could scoop pure gold from rivers by the kilos. Today, all decent deposits lie kilometers below the surface.

But it'll be for the best. We had our shot and blew it.

I wonder; if no one gave a shit when he was visibly shot at, what makes them think we'll give a shit when there is only hearsay?

Between AI and shitcoin mining, these two "technology branches" already consume more power than all the green power added to the grid combined.

It's why humans will always remain de facto slaves to a few masters. Anything that could potentially be advantageous to all life on Earth? Only if the ones at the top get to profit first. No profit? Enjoy scorching to death on hell-planet for the next forty years!

O- here. I frequently get called up when the red cross needs donations. We don't get paid either but it's an hour I'm off work and it does save lives.
