    Glad to have you here with us. Your resilience and resolve helps bolster my own when my morale grows weak.

    I figure that if we’re able to see how awful and scary the world is, then it’s in the best interest of the world if we do our best to keep existing. It’s overwhelming because it feels like we can’t do anything to even slow the rate of degradation, but I know that the situation would be worse without you here. And by that same logic, it’d be worse without me too.

    Solidarity, my friends.

    Believe it or not this meme helped me a lot in dark times

    There is also this quote : “When going through hell, keep moving forward; it is the only exit”

    You know it’s bad when you’re looking for a therapist and they are ALL swamped with people. Literally none available.

    Is it bad that in all this I see the slim possibility of a world weaning itself from oil? Maybe more and more nations will be pushed to a rapid investment in renewables and gain energetic independence from oil producing countries. It might even have a positive impact on the environment.

    Most of the world will probably continue to be dependent on oil, and just pay the price in blood, but one can dream.

    Also, it’s an interesting time of you like geopolitics, changing alliances and failing empires.

    I’ve always been cynical so times are not especially bad. I was kind of expecting this. Times are just bad because it’s hurting the wallets of the middle class at the pump, but I’ve always been poor and frugal so to me this is just normal. I have no car with an insatiable appetite for gasoline that comes from the suffering of other humans or animals. I have no house to lose. No land. No condo. No retirement plan. Let it crash and burn.

    Maybe a glimpse of hope, renew and progress can grow out of the ashes. But probably not. I’ll just be there to watch along, satisfy my curiosity, and feel smug if I’m right.
