    Reading through these comments is depressing and my only hope is that I will be dead before the droughts lead to food shortages that effect me. I like eating, I like eating good food, I like having good food available when I want it. I don’t like being hungry. I hope I’m dead before I have to deal with starvation. At least nuclear war would be quick.

    Megaprojects are a pipe dream. We can’t even deal with a lowball pandemic together as a nation. What hope do we have of coming together as a world? Let alone for something that isn’t going to have immediate consequences slapping us in the face. We’re a pathetic society that can’t do anything good. All we do is consume. Mr. Smith was right, we’re a virus.

    We’re heading for a post-apocalyptic sci-fi future, and all the horrible shit that goes along with it.

    In a fucked up way, our only hope is if a mega power somehow dominates the world through some horrific war and consolidates power, while somehow avoiding nuclear war and then does a quick 180° straight into eco-fascism. That’s the glorious future we have to look forward to. Life under a global authoritarian regime with severe austerity measures to deal with global warming. People will starve, people will be executed. The horrors of Stalinism will be our reality, and it is the only thing that can save us from ourselves.

    I fucking hope I die, because I wasn’t built for suffering.

    I’m seeing a lot of people saying take the chance.

    At the same time I can’t help but think how disappointing it must be as a woman to not be able to have a platonic friendship with a guy without them thinking it’s something more or wanting it to be. Maybe she thinks you’re just a decent friend. If you take that shot there’s a good chance she’ll keep her distance in the future.

    On the flip side I can’t help but think of all the stories of girls flirting with guys who are completely oblivious.

    Not enough info to make a good determination, other than life is short and you’re young, you can afford to take a risk or two. Personally, I wouldn’t but that’s cause I’m a coward.
