I was in a pretty similar place wrt climate depression a few years ago and it took some time to get through it. There's a book called "the End of the ocean" that I found pretty compelling. It's about a guy who winds up in a climate refugee camp in France where he and many people around have pretty much lost all hope in life. He eventually finds this derelict sailboat in the yard of some abandoned house near the camp and starts fantasizing about fixing it up and sailing away. There's no way he can actually sail the boat but he begins to share and build a little community around this fantasy. They spend time sitting in the boat together and doing little projects on the boat. This in turn gives him the strength to actually make decisions for himself and help others in small but meaningful ways. Everyone is different but I see a lot of similar fantasies in this thread, other online spaces, in my friend group, and in myself. Lots of folks have been throwing themselves into gardening, biking, habitat restoration and other survivalist-lite activities. For me this survival fantasy placebo gets me up in the morning and keeps the sadbrains at a manageable level. Not trying to prescribe any specific activity to anyone but just sharing from my own life and celebrating the good kind of cope.

I love how people kramer into doomer threads demanding positivity and receipts of our action, and after a couple pages it usually ends up with a suggestion we commit suicide.

But man, some good fried tofu from a chinese place is so loving good. If I can just learn to do it my drat self!!!! I have some in the freezer for my next attempt right now, extra firm bay bee

I have some in the freezer for my next attempt right now, extra firm bay bee i'm short on time right now so imma give you guys the coles notes version: -squeeze out the water, cut into cubes (I use extra firm tofu, it still has quite a bit of water in it. if your tofu block breaks during this stage it doesn't matter just cut it up anyway) -heat up oil in wok (I use a little bit of chili oil, use non-chili oil if you don't want heat or consider diluting it with regular cooking oil), if you're adding ginger or garlic add it to the oil, once the ginger/garlic starts trying to launch itself out of the pan u add the cubes, flop them around a bunch until all sides are coated in hot oil -add sauce (hoisin sauce, decent soy sauce, sweet n sour sauce are my go-to's for this) and flop it around a bunch with a spatula or do that wok flip move where you launch everything out of the pan then back in -wait until sizzling goes down then flip the cubes around a bunch, every time you flip the sizzling will temporarily increase in intensity and when it decreases a bunch it's time to flip -once everything looks adequately browned it's done, if you want to add MSG do it before it's browned too much whole process takes like 10-15 minutes, you can turn it into tofu fried rice by just microwaving some leftover rice and frozen veggies, dumping them on top with some soy sauce and mixing it up real good until the soy sauce induced sizzling dies down, the tofu will still retain the flavor of their own sauce while the rice+veg mixture will be lightly soy sauced edit: didn't cspam used to have a cooking thread? i think 2022 is a good time for everyone to reevaluate their cooking methods because of everything going on blatman has issued a correction as of 19:30 on May 20, 2022 |

nothing any individual can do is meaningful action, including suicide. it's too late for suicide to matter! doing the needful at any meaningful scale requires armies. armies that don't currently exist.

Hey dude, have you tried just like running for city council in your suburb and getting them to build communist apartment blocks with light rail connections? Maybe make personal motor vehicle ownership illegal? Reduce meat consumption by 95 percent? End aviation? Make the US military just like, stop existing? Be the change dude.
