Nyx. Her children are all the personifications of various negative aspects of life. I‘ve got a bit of a pessimistic attitude. Just seems fitting.

I‘m sorry but…girlboss and hustle culture? I only remember “YOLO” and “treat yo self” financial habits. Do I have to turn in my millenial membership card somewhere now?

Though I doubt digital things will survive an apocalypse.

These types of protest happen in my country quite often and the worst I have heard the cops do is carry them away in purposefully painful ways or give full cavity searches after arresting.

The sound of dogs barking. If I liked that, I‘d be so happy every single day. I‘d wake up and go to sleep to a sound I enjoy. As it is, I will have to move and rent is even more expensive now, just depressing.

From my daily 7,5h I‘d say about 3h of meetings and 2h of work

Humanity sucks. Destroys ecosystems. Feel hopeless.

Holocene extinction any%

In my city something similar is going on, three homeless people have already been stabbed while sleeping at night. I honestly don‘t understand the depravity humans get up to.

On Reddit afaik any votes you did on the post history wouldn‘t be counted and only visible to yourself.

The only artist I would personally get excited about if someone foreign knew of them is the author Thomas Bernhard (Austria), but he was famous and infamous for hating Austrian culture and it wouldn‘t go over well with many others here I suppose.

So I posit some more widely liked people: Mozart, Falco or Arnold Schwarzenegger.

Reading books. I enjoy it so much because it distracts me from depression, but depending on the book, it also can be enlightening in some ways and doesn‘t require me to really do much or go anywhere.

Thank you a lot for sharing! Since he’s the guy who coined Enshittification, I‘m curious to read what his solutions would be in more detail.

The distress I felt trying to talk to other people about climate change and potential collapse, it was exactly like this. It also got worse with the pandemic for me, similar to the author, as people around me are mostly deniers or similar and are more concerned with migration than any other issues. I guess they think it will just be the rest of the world that is affected and as long as we stop those survivors from coming here we‘ll be fine.

I legit heard someone deny the pandemic the same way, with “I don’t know any Chinese” as if that’s the only ones affected. Insane viewpoints to me, but I can‘t change them, I tried so much.

Sometimes I still try a little bit, but I always give up after the usual optimistic or even delusional statement, it doesn’t feel worth it for me to try and convince people anymore. I‘m too bad at arguing and too pessimistic for anyone to want to listen to me.

Glad I don‘t have kids at least, I imagine I‘d feel 100x worse for them than I do myself and other adults.

That feels like a musical chairs approach to this issue, where people who find a good job are lucky and sit in that and the rest shuffle between the shitty job leftovers. I recently found a decent job and it‘s only cause the guy retired after 30 years. Now I can only hope they will keep me on, or else I get to participate in that awful game again. Or maybe it will turn shitty for some other reason, like how there is no raises and my rent keeps going up anyway.

We even got unions in my country, and still we ended up like this where a lot of people switch jobs every few years to try and keep up with inflation. I’m not saying don’t take that step though. Sorry, I got no point I think? Just a rant your comment inspired in me.

There is a website I like to use, News Minimalist: https://www.newsminimalist.com/

And what was striking to me is, how many articles with highest significance score were about the climate in the last few weeks. Yet barely anybody is talking about it around me, and if I do bring it up everyone is quick to complain about the protesters who block roads.

I feel pretty lost, have been for a while. My username is basically, condensing my feelings about humanity. I do hope for a better future, but I don‘t believe in it myself anymore, if that makes sense.

Me neither, but if my body hurts and I‘d have euthanasia I would welcome it. I just saw a lot of suffering from my parents and grandparents before their deaths, so that is usually where my mind goes when discussing the topic.

I know it is pretty bleak and pessimist in my head and I already deleted another comment cause I think I‘m maybe getting too personal about myself now. I do hope everyone has as nice and painless of an existence as is possible. Let‘s leave it at that.
