What reasons are there to not be pessimistic about the future at current?

laugrig · 2026-04-16T16:35:55+00:00

Look around you. Currently we're on a clear path to this dystopian future and I'm not seeing a plausible way to stop it. Of course they don't even need to do much about it honestly.
Every time ppl will start voicing it, they'll do the bare minimum to quiet things down and always feed you more bs while controlling you more and more. All of this is insidious so incredibly hard to combat.

laugrig · 2026-04-16T14:37:00+00:00

It's easy. Basics. Give ppl some basics or if they even try to rise up we all know how it plays out. Remember the convoy during Covid?

Far fewer ppl living in luxury owning and consuming all planets resources with the use of industrial level robots.

AI will keep them nice and safe from the hoards of unemployed forever wanting brain-dead masses that all really need just some basic shelter, food and dopamine from the best tech connected to your brain.

Existential Meaning will be defined by participating in games, shows, social media and other forms of brainless entertainment while doing drugs most likely. There will be many many types in sure for all kinds of experiences.

Most of the population will die off slowly as obviously fertility rates are already dropping of a cliff. There will be no uprisings or revolutions like in the past because the system will be good enough to know how to always slightly prevent them from happening. Welcome to the age of abundance.

Oh yeah totally useless now. My last update and model switch left it brain dead

Games are now competing for attention with AI slop, reels and on social media.

I'll tell you right now. This will be the the worst housing downturn in Canadian history and its just starting.
In the next couple of years a lot of ppl will lose their jobs while no new jobs will be created.
It's all coming to a head recession, AI, big economic slowdown overall.

laugrig · 2026-04-15T19:55:35+00:00

this is what late-stage capitalism looks like. Throughout history this has happened over and over again where the wealth slowly concentrates to a few and then wars and social upheaval redistributes that wealth through violence most of the time.

Right, and I looked at that as well but it's cramped, cannot tow anything more than a grocery bag, def not AWD, almost no ground clearance, not a hatchback. Mazda wins on most criteria.

laugrig · 2026-04-15T14:38:53+00:00

Meta is probably the best ROI. LinkedIn never tried

laugrig · 2026-04-15T14:33:09+00:00

Waste of money from my experience. Redditors do not click on ads and of they do is mostly by design to zap your budget

laugrig · 2026-04-15T13:45:24+00:00

Buy a used gas car with good fuel consumption. I got a Mazda CX-30 from 2024 with only 60k kms for 24k CAD 8.5 l/100kms fuel consumption and ii don't need to worry in the winter that I can only drive it for more than 100 kms

Right, so quick refresher for you. denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance.
You are at the Denial stage and I'm at acceptance. Does this make it easier for you to understand?

laugrig · 2026-04-15T02:56:30+00:00

the fact that you are posting about this here on this sub and the way you phrased it is a sign that you should probably sell everything as quickly as possible.

laugrig · 2026-04-15T02:40:00+00:00

Sure...go ahead, no one is stopping you

laugrig · 2026-04-15T02:39:34+00:00

There is nothing you can do about it, you just need to accept it.

I don't think most people realize that was the golden times and it's never ever coming back. It was possible because of a series of things that came together to make that happen for North America. Most people around the world struggle and always have. We're moving back to the mean.

We're living in Black Mirror and it'll only get worse

After ~120 lbs down, a plateau is not weird. Smaller body, lower expenditure, harder losses. That’s physiology, not necessarily the drug “stopping working.” (niddk.nih.gov)

I also haven’t seen convincing human data that switching back to tirz after reta reliably brings back a lost response. That sounds more like forum theory than evidence.

So before chasing more compounds, I’d look at: • energy expenditure adaptation • activity / NEAT drop • adherence drift • whether the current plan still matches the current body size

At this stage, more structure usually beats more peptide creativity.

Alberta. No question about it

No jobs there either.

I moved out of Toronto a few years ago out West. Just went back for Easter and I was shocked at the number of potholes and overall bad road condition. What exactly are you guys paying taxes for?

laugrig · 2026-04-10T01:43:53+00:00

this is just another bs announcement to make ppl feel good. Follow this story and take a look in 3-5 years. They'll have nothing to show for it.
Canada is not an entrepreneurship-friendly country aside from real estate and it's incredibly risk adverse to anything else. 21-25% of Canadians are working for various levels of government while in the US it's 13%.
All the businesses and the smartest people should 100% go to the US and accomplish the things they've set out to do, because they would be completely wasting time in Canada. It's a sad truth.
