Please tell me why we shouldn’t all just collectively kill ourselves then? All of these comments on reddit and lemmy are making me think that none of it is worth even being alive anymore. Why shouldn’t we just kill ourselves if it’s going to happen and there’s nothing we can do about it?
Ok, I won’t be patronizing. I’ll be fucking real.
You are going to die someday. None of this fucking shit matters. There has been shitty leaders and political hardships since we invented farming. You are not special. You are a speck of meat on a speck of dust in swirling mess of who knows what the fuck. You do not matter to me or most of the other 8 billion people on this planet. The moon, the sun, and the stars will still be in the sky tomorrow, whether you are here or not. Your opinions do not matter to any other human being on this planet. You are inconsequential and in a relatively short amount of years there will be no evidence to your measly existence at all. You want to be a pissy pants about politics online? Go ahead and do that if it makes you happy. But, it doesn’t. It makes you afraid and angry and you’re here sitting in your anger stew. If I want to tell someone online something positive through a character is space fantasy, I’m going to do it. To live is to suffer and the only thing that matters in life is making others feel good. That’s it. Nothing else truly fucking matters. Nothing. Quit acting like a baby, get some exercise, eat the right shit, and be useful. Now get out there and make some fucking changes in the world.
Don’t take this as me being rude. Take this as me freeing you from your mental tethers of exceptionalism.
Aren’t only half the votes counted in this though?
I hate Trump and voted for Harris and I’m spiraling today. That being said, my stocks have gone up $1,700 today, so that’s nice I guess. I don’t have faith that the market will hold for long though.
Inkscape is fantastic. It’s easier to learn than Ai and you don’t have to pay for it.
Aight, fuck it. I’ll just stay here and die or whatever.
If it gets bad, I’ll go to Canada.
You will not convince anyone of anything who found their point-of-view from emotion and not logic.
Please continue talking to me if you need it. Maybe I need it too.
Luke Skywalker didn’t blow up the Death Star with that attitude! You seem like you are a good person. Sometimes, the only peace we can find is in ourselves. Keep your head up, friend.
I understand where you are coming from. This totally fucking blows and I’m terrified for my children. The only constant in human life is that there is suffering. There is always suffering in life. Right now, there is nothing you can do about this situation. Understand that there is always and has always been suffering in life. That’s not new. Speculation on the future only causes more suffering. The present moment is all you have. The want for what you deem as a better political situation (and you are probably right) is causing you suffering. Choose to not suffer.
Breathe deeply for 5 minutes straight and relish in what is good in your life. Let the loved ones around know how important they are to you. Do something that you truly enjoy. Take care of yourself. No one else is going to do that for you. You are not the first human being to feel what you are feeling and you will not be the last. Whether or not you are “ok” is up to you.
The only way out is within.
I understand you are scared right now, and there’s probably no talking you off that ledge. Seek the goods things in your life right now. Surround yourself with the ones you love. It’s hard to process, but breathe. I promise you’ll be ok.
It’s at 33% counted right now
I am on edge and dooming. If Trump wins it’s all over. I’ll likely literally die.

You son of a bitch!

Pollsters sucked in the election. It’s like forecasting a 50% chance of rain. “One candidate may win, but the other may win too!” I know that.
You’re so aware of this that you decide that being a turd online is the best course of action for your situation?
