YungOnions,

Fortnite never changes.

YungOnions,

“We are being buried under the avalanche of your incompetence Mr Trump, Creedy!”

YungOnions,

YouTube comments section.

YungOnions,

Disappointed that climate change isn’t more front and centre here, although at least their commitment around energy security includes renewables.

YungOnions,

Here’s a reminder that Ubisoft is a hateful company run by a hateful man and no one should be buying their games: gamesindustry.biz/ubisoft-has-reportedly-made-min…

YungOnions,

Jesus Christ, the comment section on that video…

YungOnions,

Oh good. Another luxury SUV. Just what the EV market needs /s.

YungOnions,

I mean I wouldn’t call £33,795+ for the EX30 ‘cheap’ and it’s still a SUV. We need more compact hatchback sized vehicles, imo.

YungOnions,

Yeah, I thought that thing looked pretty cool to. A EV MX5 might be neat to.

YungOnions,

So I went on Amazon and there it is, sitting at 186 5 star reviews. WTF. Genuine question: is there some way of reporting shit like this to Amazon? I can’t see anything obvious.

YungOnions,

Glass? We used that for decades.

YungOnions,

Really good to hear! Not a small area, either!

This is never not appropriate with stories like this.

YungOnions,

Actually, not only are the vast majority of people aware of man made climate change, they also consider it personally important and a government priorty: …yale.edu/…/international-public-opinion-climate-…

YungOnions,

It’s easy to lose track of the difference an individual can make to climate change, but you must view it from an appropriate perspective:

theconversation.com/climate-change-yes-your-indiv…

It’s hard to remain positive these days, so please take some time to remind yourself about all the things that are going well in the world:

YungOnions,

It’s important to take time to appreciate the things that are going well in the world.

As you correctly identified constantly doomscrolling is bad for your health.

YungOnions,

That must be frustrating, but try not to let personal experience cloud the bigger picture. More people are willing to take action than you might think: pewresearch.org/…/pg_2021-09-14_climate_0-01-png/

And people are taking action, here’s some recent examples: curious.earth/blog/climate-success-stories/

Things look bleak, and it’s hard to remain optimistic, so it’s more important than ever to take the time to remind yourself of what is going right in the world:

YungOnions,

That sounds frustrating but, with respect, evidence suggests otherwise: cleanenergywire.org/…/global-surveys-show-peoples…

YungOnions,

And they do.

YungOnions,

That sounds like an opinion born of understandable frustration. However evidence suggests that people are more willing to make changes than you might think: pewresearch.org/…/pg_2021-09-14_climate_0-01-png/

YungOnions,

I absolutely agree that prioritising your own mental health is something everyone should do, but don’t you think that governments and corporations are even less likely to do anything if people like yourself just throw up their hands in frustration and give up?

There are ways of maintaining good mental health, but I’m not sure doing a full 180 is one of them.

YungOnions,

No problem! It’s not easy, as you say. Here’s some links to more positive places on Lemmy that you might find also help improve your mood:

Try ans stay happy Friend!

YungOnions,

Better late than never.

YungOnions,

It’s a start. Better than nothing and better late than never.

YungOnions,

I mean, I don’t disagree with your assessment of the ‘parasite class’ as you call them, but none of what you’ve written is cause enough to stop trying. The only thing that guarantees failure is not to try. As the articles I’ve linked to demonstrate it’s never too late. plana.earth/…/is-it-too-late-for-our-planet

Remember pessimism isn’t useful, it achieves the opposite of what we need: vox.com/…/climate-doomerism-optimism-progress-env…

Also, please be mindful that marinating in a sea of doomscrolling is really bad for you: www.openaccessgovernment.org/…/143139/

And that bad news is also literally addictive and it is important to break that habit: fastcompany.com/…/how-to-stop-your-brains-addicti…
