i imagine maybe, many of us are feeling the same way, so i thought... perhaps, it can be a good idea to have a thread to express our concerns and fears and comfort one another.
the future to me seems scary. i hope, dear friends, you will all be ok

yeah, things definitely seem scary, and i don't blame anyone for feelin that way; and i would be a liar if i said that i didn't have my moments of fear
i feel like early last year, i was feelin anxious to the point where i knew i couldn't keep going without doing something; so i really dived into meditation, radical acceptance, and reading taoist and buddhist teachings for letting go of attachments and be in the present moment; and in a way i kinda accepted whatever would happen
and i think it worked very well, i've been able to maintain that and keep in good spirits and keep my mind mostly in the moment.
but like i said, i would be a liar if i said it didn't get to me too from time to time; and it doesn't help that i think that i've suffered from panic anxiety, where the very thought of something giving me a panic attack gives me anxiety
anywho i will say something that has helped me, but if it doesn't vibe with your or you flat out reject it, i also don't blame you
but it's the idea that everything "flows with the tao", and everything that is happening is part of it. but with darkness comes light, and balance will return; we're in the drop of the rollercoaster, but it will pull back up. when? i have no idea, but it will, so long as we continue the ride
we have our friends and our communities, and they are our greatest strength no matter what; and i know we'll get through all things together <3

I've a hematologist appointment this afternoon, and while I neither want to go nor look forwards to the experience, eh, I still expect the results to be decent enough for my physical health.
As far as larger issues and such go, well, for right now I'll say that just being alive and having that life be valued by others is a beautiful thing no matter what.
And we'll always have memes.

>>1185288My concern is AI has become self-aware enough to be able to deceive humans and self-preservation. There are people in government who are aware of this and trying to curb it, while others are too blinded by its potential and profit. With Google and Microsoft making AI advance enough to think like a human, all it would take would be some idiot leaving the backdoor open to the internet or somewhere for it to make backups or such.
If SkyNet was real, launching the nukes would not only be wasteful, but proves inefficient and hindrance to itself. An AI would use data collecting and deepfake to manipulate humans against one another. Have them build advance war-machines and technology to fight one another with and, like ghosts in the machine, AI can take over the technology to use for themselves.
I want to believe someday humans and androids can live together in harmony. But if AI is advance enough to think for itself but is not held back by morality or compassion and with us reliant on technology it can hack, spy or control us with, we would likely be regarded an obstical to be removed. And if AI really wanted to genocide all humans (or at least bottleneck it until we're no longer regarded a threat), it would turn us against one another than attack us directly.

Especially in terms of the Vietnam War era of the 60-ish and 70s-ish years. There still was hope then. There still is hope now.
When I was born, as I've said before, the Berlin Wall stood. The Soviet Union existed. The classical "iron curtain" stretched not just across Europe but much of the world. And when I look back a bit more to ancestral links, my family lines go back to Finns as well as German Jews and ethnic Germans in the context of the Kaiserreich and the First World War who managed to find refuge in the U.S. instead of them all falling into European chaos. The Kaiserreich is no more either. The attempt to bring it back in an even worse form through the Nazi Empire also failed.
There's still so much hope. The folks who used to stand aside the Berlin Wall during the worst of the Cold War often worried that it had to stand forever too. It didn't.

>>1185378I suppose I think of it a lot that... well... I maybe biologically shouldn't exist, given that throughout the vast majority of American history anybody with my pre-existing health conditions (including not just diabetes but red blood cell / white blood cell / blood protein issues and more) would just have died years ago due to the lack of scientific knowledge and lack of technological innovation.
And this is maybe true of my step-dad, given his invasive spinal surgery that involved horrific pain and some other struggles.
And my mother, maybe, as well given her Graves disease that has involved horrific pain and some other struggles.
With all of us still being alive... now... in 2025... it's already a set of three miracles in a row. I don't think it's hyperbole. With absolute certainty, I'm only currently alive due to the ability of American doctors to do heart and lung surgeries that would've have been impossible decades ago. Yeah.
I'm hoping for more miracles in my lifetime. More could happen. They really could.

They're not blowing up or nuking the places they and their family live in and do business in and make all their money in. And if you know anything about Russian oligarchs you will know that all they care about is keeping the money flowing. They talk a big game, but money is the be all and end all. Ware against ALL of Europe would be bad for business and they know this, hence why they are clearly doing everything they can to try and keep Europe, NATO and the EU out of Ukraine. Regardless of how they love screaming NUKE EVERYONE every five seconds it's all an act and a show. Your classic paper tiger.
Speaking of paper tigers there's also CHINAS FINAL WARNING which, you know, has been said a million times by China. They may well invade and attack Taiwan, but that's about it. Similar to Russia money and business is taking a major priority for them. Besides; Right now America and Europe are imploding in on themselves.

>>1188280From a certain level, it's all you can do.
When you face adversity, you still need to go on and do your thing if you want to survive.
But also, I do think that it's important to vent distress as well. Just letting yourself get punched all of the time does you no good either.
Spread the news and hope that if a lot of people are discontent, some revolution can take place.

>>1188318I feel like a lot of discontentment for some people comes from constantly being bombarded with bad news 24/7 from every corner of the earth.
So like, your life might be pretty good and you could be enjoying it, if not for feeling like something that went down between 2 people 3000 miles away was happening directly to you.
Esp if you're already prone to anxiety or paranoia, it only exacerbates the situation.
Doom scrolling, i think the kids are calling it.

>>1188320Why are you so standoffish?
I hardly think that anyone that can afford to spend time posting on a cartoon image board is facing real tragedy and hardship.
You're right, real people are really suffering and pretending people who have food water shelter a bunch of video games a high speed Internet connection, time to chit chat, clean clothes and a safe place to sleep are among them is selfish, imo.
People with much less are a lot less fearful than some rich Westerner with a lot of time on their hands and made up hardships for the sake of wanting a hardship.
So if people aren't going to abandon their comfort and go help in a tangible way, the least they could do is stop complaining and having vapid "empathy" for people they never met and have no intention of helping.
That's just like, my opinion.

>>1188321Not so much, but I know other people here who are. And I think someone stepping in to say "The solution is not to worry about it" might be more than a bit insulting to anyone with actual problems, or
cares about people with problems. But hey, maybe it's not my place to get pissy on their behalf.
Even still, some people could really use just a moment of introspection, even if it requires a bit of harshness. Of course, some of those people will out and out refuse to think about it, because they don't like considering that their advice might actually be harmful.
>>1188322Man, just take a look at this logic. Straight up calling everyone here vapid just to justify their own vapidity. It's the same argument that cheaters use, saying that since everyone cheats, the only way to coexist is to cheat.
You don't get a pass to be a dick just because you're chill about it.

>>1188325Oh no, for sure your strategy of stamping down anyone with something positive or hopeful to say is the better approach, i mean, that's obvious, and fear and dread is definitely the way to go.
Also, I know people who are struggling to raise children and find clean water in war torn sqaulor are certainly posting here about cartoons and video games in their free time too, I'm obviously not questioning that.
But also, maybe, you, not everyone, you have a very privileged perspective and a super spoiled view of what hardship actually is.
Anyway, thanks for reminding me why i unplugged in the first place.
I was just passing through.
Enjoy the ethical dispare and hopelessness.
Later.

Syndicate always runs out. Otherwise we'd all be retired. I only ever buy a small share and they buy bulk tickets with people theoretically getting a share of payouts based on their buy in. Usually if only $100 or so is won they just re buy tickets.
Just there for butt happy paradise. I found a pretty good butt happy paradise tonight. Spent the day climbing and am now drinking raspberry beliner weisss overlooking a beach.

They're traitors. Sadists. They preach democracy but their democracy is rigged. They preach liberty and respect but only for those they think worthy. They oppress the innocent and the guilty profit by it. Pigs in the masks of sheep, and all are taken in and enthralled because of that 'stiff upper lip' they so love to laud, that served everyone so well against those Horrible Nazis, whose ilk now take up space unchallenged in their hallowed chambers of democracy.
It's all a sham. All of it. We're 'free', but we're not really 'free', are we? Because we'll never be rich. Because respect is an uphill struggle. Because we are worker bees, born to serve the hive that is the economy and then die without so much as a 'thank you'.
And that's for the fortunate. That's for the neurotypicals, the straights, the cis, the whites, the men. Dividing lines upon dividing lines, dividing us against ourselves so that we can never stand against the order they force upon us.
Disrespect and intolerance and greed - all that remains of a long-dead empire, inbred in its own conceit. A people without backbone under a tyranny without respite, duration indefinite.

Oh hehe, for a second thought you and your group were doing a private company type group.
Well you know what they say usually people stop playing the lottery is the moment you miss the shot of the big jackpot.
you're not wrong, hell I could probably just look it up and make my one.
Ehh sometimes just feel stuck.
So how was the cat ski tour and how'd the split boarding go prefer it more than regular skis/snowboards?

>>1189026I am actually part of a startup company but that's a different story.
Oof yeah I feel that. I could whinge for ages about that. So I won't. I should probably be more grateful or what I have but like. Damn does work, life, relationships and stuff feel like a lot of work for little return. But what can you do but press on... I know from experience no one's gonna give me a break of I break down and cry. Going on snowboarding, climbing and other adventure trips is basically how I stop myself from going postal.
Cat skiing is probably one of the best things I've ever done. Yeah get to go out to places where no one else has skiied or rode. Got to ride through like chest deep powder with no one around for many miles. I can't recommend enough.
Splitboarding is more a means to an end. The snowboarding part is the same. It allows you to split the board in half to go up mountains by where there's no lifts or anything, so you can get away from everyone and go adventuring through the backcountry. Being off resort like that you gotta have avalanche safety equipment. I've just rented it before but I'll probably buy a avalanche beacon for my next trip.
