Damn dude, that’s pretty rough :/ My partner has chronic health issues and lost their job like 2 months ago. Thank god I still have work. We’re only 40 but in 20 years I fear i will be in a similar situation to you.
I am not optimistic about the future :\

Im willing to bet most people do not look at the price tag before buying it. Same with soda, chips, etc. Maybe they don’t even look at the register. They just swipe their card, same as always.

Harm reduction and rehab centers where they can use in a safe environment is how you really help people addicted to drugs. Instead of locking them in a cage and pretending they don’t exist.

Like 400k kids go missing each year and flock has helped find exactly 0 of them. They can’t even be bothered to do some bullshit PR stuff to even pretend it’s for “our safety”.
- Comment on What are some things I can do as an apartment dweller to fight climate change/deal with the coming effects? 1 week ago:
As an individual anything short of some kind of eco-terrorism (not recommended) won’t really have an effect. It’s the collective action of lots of people not eating meat and stuff.
Assuming you’re in the U.S., which state? If it’s in the south I’d highly recommend trying to save up and find a way north. In 25 years some of those states will be literal hell. Better to move on your own terms than be forcibly relocated imo(worst case scenario).
Something i don’t see posted much is to enjoy the present as much as you can. Go on walks. Admire trees/nature. Visit people who live further away. You know, things we wont really get to do in the future. Our futures have been taken, don’t let them take our present too.

Horrible parenting tbh. And their son reminds them everyday how they failed as parents so they’re just kicking him out.

Oddly enough I’m like 80% there. I meal prep lunches of rice and refried beans with chopped veggies, breakfast is oatmeal, sometimes I’ll have chicken for dinner tho.
There is some comfort knowing I’m at least not personally making things worse.

Oh? Yet I don’t see you telling me what the number of doctors who’ve donated their time to doctors without borders is vs the total number of doctors in the U.S… Which is why I had to look for it myself, and I found it’s less than .1%. Sorry about your narrative :(
And I’ll place you in the “ignoring it because you don’t have a good answer” category then.

OK thinking about it more now I think i just went through the 12 stages of grief but for the my future lol
- Comment on British Jews 1 week ago:
After a few weeks of starting into the abyss (a la the grim reality of what climate change will do) it finally stared back. A huge nothingness, completely powerless to affect it, no choice left but to submit to it, and let it wash over you.
It took a part of me. But I’ve taken a part of it too. My personal fear, anger, sadness, all such small things when compared to the end of the world as we know it today. To truly believe this, kind of reminds me how it felt when I was on SSRI’s in a weird way. I’m not surprised that so many people aren’t here yet. It’s legitimately terrifying.
For me though, losing all hope really was freedom.

- Comment on Social Security can be saved. Scrap the cap! 1 week ago:
That’s why I said “typically”. You didn’t address the issue. 0.1% of doctors volunteer for doctors without borders. People will take issue with one person needing 12 years of schooling or having to work in awful conditions, that will be making the same as someone driving a forklift around a warehouse all day. Saving someone’s life as an ER surgeon is not the same as being a delivery driver. How will you address the discrepancy?
Do you not see the issue people will have with that kind of societal system?? Or are you just ignoring it on purpose because there is no good answer?
- Comment on Social Security can be saved. Scrap the cap! 1 week ago:
OK but a decent minority of people would complain, no?.. “If someone had to spend over a decade of their life in college and grad school to be a doctor or something, and Joe just started driving a forklift out of high school, should they both be working for free?”
As in volunteer work is typically general labor, while many things require very deep, specialized knowledge obtained thru years of schooling. Doctors, engineers, economists, etc. Im sure some people would still pursue those things out of sheer love. But I imagine for some people the potential of earning more is that extra motivation that pushes them down that path.

I probably do give them too much credit, but to me it felt like they were complaining about “the lazy youths”. There’s probably people who need medicine delivered thru these apps, idk if they were mentioned yet.
But I don’t fault someone for not trying to consider every group of people that might benefit or need a service before making a disparaging statement.

Im sure they were specifically thinking about people with disabilities when they commented. And not people that klarna their Costco hotdog over 4 payments.

Those are all valid individual reasons to get food delivered to you. That’s not what makes DoorDash “popular” tho.
- Comment on A customized delivery experience 2 weeks ago:
Completely impossible to get food ahead of time. Just no way to have a pizza in your freezer in case you get hungry after a night out drinking. I just spontaneously get drunk sometimes so it comes out of nowhere and I’m not able to plan ahead. I need DoorDash or I would literally starve.
