It's a lot easier to launder clinical depression and anxiety through apocalyptic nihilism that only further alienates you from your peers and the world around you than it is to make yourself vulnerable by actually caring about things and leaving the bubble of your incredible material comfort to make an effort to connect with others.

Stunt_enby posted:baghdad had a heatwave with a high of 125 fahrenheit recently. death valley hit 130. all current efforts to mitigate climate change fall laughably short, and we're seeing our worst-case projections for its effects be either met or destroyed with facts and logic. it may not be for another double-digit number of years, but we will absolutely see the collapse of what we now recognize as civilization in our lifetime Haha surely well just invent our way out of it  Your grandsons will be living on Mars and they'll look back and chuckle at all this!!

The end of the world didn't happen like predicted. No nuclear war - no skynet. The current plague isn't something dramatic like airborne rabies turning us all into 28 days later style zombies. It just sort of creeped up on us and half the population of the planet just don't care or are completely blind to everything going on around them. And that's not counting the nutjobs actually wanting it to happen.

I'd say it's bad if you're like a Christian nutjob who wants the world to end because you'll get your very own magical planet but very good if you think humanity is a cancer on this blue dot

I’ve been putting off getting LASIK for like 10 years but I’ve had a few discussions about it with my partner lately and “you won’t have to worry about losing your glasses in the wasteland” came up as an argument in the pro column without any irony.

Unironically this may have been one of the reasons I got PRK earlier this year. Recommend it if you got the cash lol

I've already resigned to the fact that if I somehow make it to 50 not too shortly after there's probably gonna be some sort of big party involving me that will be a lot like that guy who busted his terminally ill wife out of the nursing home to have that Meth Death Party and they prosecuted the poor bastard anyway for her death  edit: when I said big party I meant I'll probably be 600 pounds not that there will be a lot of people there or anything I mean gently caress I'm a 600 pound drug addict for fucks sake

PRK takes longer to heal but it's also irreversible unlike LASIK. And when I say "reversible" I really mean under traumatic conditions like getting banged on a head or doing sports stuff or crashing a car. If you can spare some extra time to heal (about a week of being extra careful and wearing protective shades outside, and a month of various drops) I'd say it's the superior option. Also I do believe that PRK covers a greater range of eye hosed-upness but don't quote me on this.
