islam?

i feel this. it’s kind of a blessing though. i mean look at it like this: if you knew you only had 5 years left, what would you do with that time? it would probably look like investing in the future of others (which also encompasses political action). and of course it would also look like a lot of gratitude and merrymaking.

truth is that none of us are guaranteed to be here that long. confronting that is hard. but that awareness is what actually allows us to live a meaningful life.

well, um, i guess if it helps… life has gotten better for me ?? hugs friend

We want to believe we’re lucky enough to be a part of something big, to be there.

yep this is precisely the thought that gave birth to this post. and i think i share the broad worldview that you couched this in: that “we”, or at least something resembling “us”, will be fine in The End. but it’s almost more exciting for us to think that we get to see it all! it’s like getting to see the ending of a movie that everyone else so far has had to walk out on. it’s that ego

Wait, you AND the generations after? So you expect to survive it in some way, perhaps spiritually? I just wanna understand fully

but there’s so many other things to do! All that is theirs is yours!

um, but to be fair, i dont know why i expected more replies that werent Jamaharon

i wonder if ambivalence towards The End is tantamount to desire for it

i feel you. i recently learned about the “Doomsday Clock” that has apparently been ticking up and down since 1947, and was apparently just moved from 90 seconds to 89 seconds. seems like such a ridiculous, unhelpful way to conceptualize challenges to society. learning about it did nothing to impact my sense of power in affecting it, and really just increased my sense of despair as time marches on without concern

Even the preppers I know don’t want it to collapse, they’re just aware that society is fragile and is more likely than not going to collapse - knowing something is likely to happen and preparing for it is very very different than hoping for it.

well that’s just it! I think their preoccupation with the world ending does hint at some sort of desire for it. this grows even more true with however much more unlikely the end actually is

I have a whole bunch on my night stand tho

GWB definitely had a scarier presidency than Trumps first term for sure. but this second term is unlike anything I’ve ever seen

furby was so creepy. esp when he bugs out

yeah I always wanted to be an adult and now that I am it’s fucking awesome

a lot of media used the F slur well into the 2000s. it’s pretty shocking to watch nowdays

I’ve watched people on Lemmy be fucking assholes toward any mention of tobacco

USB , mini USB, type C USB, iphone bs, do those not count?

LW slow when big

go to small

Probably Malenia, but she’s beatable. Definitely had a tougher time learning her than Freide, Gael, Artorias, Manus, Fume Knight, or Ivory King etc.

In DS1? Great boss! Worthy title

how are you over 40 and you don’t remember the boot times before SSDs?
