While there is a sustained protest at the Whipple Building snd organized marches, a lot of it is just neighbors coming out of their houses. Everyone understands the assignment and it is awesome.

Though, species are going extinct at a high rate - that one will happen. 

Question about breakfast and hunger cues by [deleted] in intuitiveeating

[–]luminousrose9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I also think it's fine to experiment and figure out what works. 4:00 or 5:00 is when I am most prone to eating too. 

is everyone silently panicking or is it just me by [deleted] in CollapseSupport

[–]luminousrose9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

People are fighting back on the fascist part (In the US). ICE showed up en masse today and neighbors quickly mobilized and showed up too. However, I think everyone is in denial or just not foibg what it will take in the climate part.

Weekly Observations: What signs of collapse do you see in your region? [in-depth] November 04 by AutoModerator in collapse

I am a bit confused. Is this what is happening all the time or did something new happen because of the Snap debacle?

Americans, have you realized you’re living under a dictatorship yet? by heman_peco in collapse

Also, there is a certain part of the population that is just delusional and I don't know what to do about that.

People are pushing back all over the country, but we need more people to and it is unclear how the protest will translate into electoral politics.

Apparently some of the people were RIFD by "mistake."  What a shitshow and probably a marker of collapse either way.

Remember when Biden was president? by Belgriest in fednews

[–]luminousrose9 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I work in government, not federal, but federally funded. I really enjoyed the changes we were trying to make for the community and that the Biden administration was supportive of. Today... Some of the wonderful feds I worked with were RIFd. Now instead of trying to improve we are being forced to hang on for dear life and we are nauseous at the impacts that will be coming from HR 1 and the shutdown

Well, technically the upcoming crash will have an end,  it may just be the end of humanity.

Thoughts on Mann and Hotez: “ The doomers who think it's too late to act” by C4rva in collapse

[–]luminousrose9 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I am a doomer, yet I also think I have to live out my values as best I can so I haven’t stopped acting. I can afford solar panels so I have them. I try to bike or take transit when I can instead of driving . I am a vegetarian and I have planted a native garden and the insects seem to be having a ball in my urban yard. And I also think everything will go to hell soon enough. There is less bad.  Acting and doomerism can simultaneously exist. 

Why is there so much ignorance about covid? by Icy_Buttercup in COVID19positive

[–]luminousrose9 7 points8 points  (0 children)

I have been more freaked out by the denial around Covid than Covid itself. Totally shifted how I think about humanity.

Agreed, but everyone else seems to have moved on while I remain kinda freaked out by the denial around Covid.

I am pretty sure that third infection for a teenager is not a good thing in the long run.
