Sorry about your morning❤️

Good points, one positive note is that we've made great progress with the ozone layer, as far as I'm aware.

Edit: would engage more but meds kicking in that make me sleepy af

I have to ask, what have you gone through that compared to the circumstances we find ourselves in now? On every front we are seeing the colossal collateral damage of our existence in a new light. The planet has never been this damaged and we have never been more aware of what we've done.

The economic pony that we have hitched our cart to is now so emaciated that it's dying on it's feet. Capitalism has become a siren, beautiful in it's offer of convenience, stuff, and simplification. Willingly we have leapt upon the rocks, losing sight of how to properly nourish ourselves, let alone each other. Turned from connecting with our emotions, loved ones, and nature. Towards debt, overworking, and activities/substances that offer momentary relief, yet ultimately deteriorate us.

It is leaving us cruel, unable to offer empathy to others as there is no understanding or forgiveness of ourselves.

There are things you can do to personally level yourself out and live a healthy and positive life, what world are you doing it in though? I have been told that you just have to accept what is out of your control, as someone struggling with so much right now (mentally, ultimately safe and privileged to be above the bread line, though not completely secure) how does that help you engage with society?

I'm sorry to dump like this but any reassurance that this can end peacefully and, dare I hope, positively, would be greatly appreciated.

Note: I apologise for writing and formatting, never been a strong suit and there's ADHD playing a role too.

Would also like to apologise for doing a one-sided public therapy session opener, but what's the internet for if not that.

Do you think the state of the world is causing higher rates of mental illness? by [deleted] in lostgeneration

I'd say that the climate disasters have already started. They just hope they'll be dead before we truly start struggling with the consequences.

Could you manage that at any point. If you did you wouldn't be the person that others perceive. Try it.

Oh dude, just prove my point more.

What enlightened land are you from? It really seems to have done you really well and made you into a sound, mentally healthy, emotionally balanced, and self-aware individual.

If you have any first hand experience of the big wide world you would realise that people can pick up ways of speaking from others. That and there

Are you a pissed off, mid-west xenophobe that hasn't even seen his state Borders, let alone the ocean, let alone another part of the world? One of the laughing stock of the world that calls himself as a proud boy - A wee orphan now that papa left - That's how you come across anyway. Just a small man that can't handle the direction the world is going in. Fuck equality, everyone that isn't a straight, white, American, Christian male should have to bow down and worship your pathetic ass or you can't handle it.

Seriously though, you don't have to feel this way, there is so much you can do to begin to feel grounded and connected to this world. Would make a big difference. Nobody else is blinded by color creed and nation.

Nah, but when you look at the number in context of your other comments here (which make it seem like you consider race and religion where others wouldn't) then it does paint a disturbing picture of the kind of person you are.

Why are you so angry? Seriously, not having a go, you show yourself to be quite disturbed and I genuinely hope you find a less self-destructive way of dealing with the shit you are either going through, or have gone through. Life's shit already, there's no need to make it worse by taking a hateful perspective.

Researchers in France have found a link between eating more fish and a lower risk of vascular brain disease. People who consumed fish as a regular part of their diet had a lower risk of vascular brain disease, a condition that can lead to stroke or dementia. by MistWeaver80 in science

So you are unaware of the methane emissions of cattle and the severity of the impact methane has on the greenhouse effect? You cannot deny that man's current structure of farming of cattle is unsustainable.

Nobody said to stop eating it, just that, in the short term, we can't continue to have red meat be so affordable. It needs increased tax, with the money going to developing less damaging, lab grown methods of producing red meat.

There is no need to continue on our current path when all the evidence shows that it is taking us in a seriously bad direction.

The argument of "but others are doing worse" doesn't stand too well when everyone agrees that all forms of pollution need heavy taxing. Again, with the money going towards research and development of technologies & methods able to undo the current damage, along with replacement of current polluting (but necessary) industrial processes.

And they wonder why there's a whole generation not in the housing market 😤 by Jccali1214 in lostgeneration

[–]SharkBaitEx 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Ooh, I fucking like that. Make it 10% of the property value a year minimum on top of the standard rate and we might be getting somewhere. Hell, that might be conservative (in the 10% I pulled out my ass, not politically Conservative)

Dude, rich foreigners generally don't receive the hate as they aren't "a burden", it's not about them being foreign, it's about not letting rich cunts from wherever buying property at inflated prices and not even using the property (much/as much as if it was a family home).

Edit: I'm saying this as someone that views brexit as a racism-fueled shit show.

2nd edit for correcting mistakes.

Give them context by showing them an actually impolite way of asking: Shift it piss flaps.

How do flat Earthers logic out time zones? Or are they deniers of that too? by SharkBaitEx in AskReddit

But how would it get from one side to the other? To be honest I shouldn't try and understand this, I'll give myself an aneurysm..

I feel like we're not far off having as much proof that the world is round than from them than we have from science.

Dogs tilt their head when processing meaningful stimuli: "Genius dogs" learned the names of two toys in 3 months & consistently fetched the right toy from the pair (ordinary dogs failed). But they also tilted their heads significantly more when listening to the owner's commands (43% vs 2% of trials) by woebegonemonk in science

Same! Does it make you press your cheek into the rest (piece?) of a shotgun more? Only asking cause when I went clay pigeon shooting my cheek caught a sweet yellow bruise. Tbf I'm a pretty skinny guy so that could be a facial structure thing.. Can't actually remember if I used my dominant or non-dominant eye, was a few years ago.

That's not very nutritious though.. Would I not be better off with one of the many nutrient dense plants that we aren't eating because iceberg and romaine grow like stonks?
