Yeah... In situations like these, you kinda just have to do whatever you can do.
Unless you're someone with the power to actually influence policy of the country you live in - in which case what the fuck are you doing reading this, fix your shit - then you realistically can't do jack about these issues.
If you try to fight every battle that's coming our way, rally behind every issue, you'll get burnt out - and that's exactly what those sending them to you want to happen.

There’s nothing we can do individually. But there are a lot of us.
If just 0.1% of us ate one rich person each, we could make huge strides toward solving this problem.

Caves are overrated. Food is impossible to get without venturing out, electrical power can only be supplied from outside, water can be challenging (especially wastewater removal), the complete lack of light and prevalence of mold can be bad for your health.
Personally, I’m leaning toward a solar-powered sailboat as the perfect ‘ride out the apocalypse’ strategy.
-
You can easily relocate to distance yourself from all kinds of threats, avoiding wars, disease outbreaks, etc.
-
Water can easily be supplied via desalination ‘water makers’, powered by your solar panels. In the event that this goes wrong somehow, you can also resupply by sailing up into any navigable freshwater river, or build simple evaporation-based solar desalinators.
-
Some of your diet can be provided by fishing. For the rest (and occasional repairs and replacement parts), you can barter at ports of call. No matter what’s happening in the world, there will still be people somewhere who are interested in moving passengers and cargo from one port to another. And if global trade is broken down, you may be able to bring valuable barter goods by transporting things that can’t be found locally.
-
Waste disposal and sanitation is easy; just dump it overboard before sailing to a new location. (Preferably, you’d only dump biodegradable stuff, though, and only in the open ocean, where environmental effects of small dumping will be negligible. But if there’s no other choice and you really need to dump some plastic waste or something … well, the environment can take one more for the team.)

I know this would probably be hella difficult and often dangerous… But it also sounds fun, cool and punk as fuck lol

F) Move to a dreamy Mediterranean island in middle of nowhere and worry about nothing. :)

- How many islands do you think there are in the mediterranean?
- How many of those are uninhabited? (And why?)
- Do you realise how close you are to bigger nations there? It’s not that isolated there.

AI take over what?
some_designer_dude@lemmy.world 1 month ago
This is naive. You think it needs to be intelligent to be used for evil? Have you watched ANY American politics?
thevoidzero@lemmy.world 1 month ago
Again, thinking someone/something needs to be super intelligent to take power is not good. They get power because stupid people thinking they’re intelligent will put them in power

Power like “excuse for bad decisions”?
