Are we all fucked?
Are we all fucked?
I'm worried for the world. All I've been thinking about is WW3 and this shit makes me want to vomit. I can't even smoke weed anymore without having a near panic attack. I feel unmotivated. I wake up and immediately just want to go back to bed. I'm not trying to spread fear but the Doomsday clock is 90 seconds till midnight, during the Cuban missile crisis, it was 7 minutes before midnight. Can we just have one day of fucking peace? Can everyone just stop for one day and enjoy one day of peace?

I do just need to point out that the Doomsday Clock is run by a media organization with no ties to any government. There's no hard facts about what the number represents, it's just a small group of academics who decide how close we are to apocalypse off vibes. While I think the problems they point out are valid concerns you have to remember that their main thing is to drive clicks. Of course this is easier if you're constantly scared.
I know it seems like we're in the worst time possible, but crime and violence is as low as it's ever been and the standard of living for human life in general is also as high as it's ever been. I'd echo the other commenters, sounds like it's time for a social media detox.
And it's designed as propaganda so of course they're not going to say 'oh is ten min now, we can all relax' the whole point is underscore the urgency of things
