I would say under ten years if we are talking about staying in "life as we know it." Global food supplies are at risk. We are going to see mass die offs in large portions of the ocean. AMOC and the Jet stream will continue to wobble around causing mayhem. Coastale areas will become eroded and huge portions of the infrastructure will become unfixable as the disasters come too frequently for any real, long term repairs to remain.

Think about that term, tipping piont. Tipping does not imply a gentle decent.

I'm not doing anything for the forth. Fuck America, I am not celebrating my country, because my country wants me dead. Fuck em.

You can get it from hunting supply places in bottles. Sometimes people also buy coyote pee for putting around their gardens to spook off the deer.

Damn I knew they had cannibal island but not plauge island.

Unfortunately we have crossed the tipping points and reducing our emissions in a few years isn't going to help much.

We're so fucked. Could we maybe not have world war three at the same time as climate induced system collapse? Is that too much to ask for?

You know how to take your dish rack to the next level? Slap some large googly eyes on that bad boy. Surpise your mom. Make those memories.

The counter top ones take up a lot of space, and you cannot use your kitchen sink while it is running because it connects to your kitchen faucet. Which also means you need to have the correct kind of faucet for the attachment to fit. Also, dishwashers use a lot of power. There are hidden costs at play here, and with the price of power only going up, why wouldn't I do dishes the cheap way? Not to mention haveing to buy dishwasher tablets and all the waste products created by the single use packaging.

Richard Gere. His eyes look like he's laughing at a joke, but his face tells me the jokes on the audience.

Fuck that, pull the fire alarm and get the fire department on scene.

Or at least bedrolls?

 

I have what I call the Feeling Things Meter. Meaning that in a certain period of time, about one to three days, I have a set amount of feelings I am allowed to feel. If I exceed the number of feelings and fill up the meter I blank out and get to feel nothing at all. I can feel the Meter filling up, and I know when I am about to exceed it.

This also applies to feelings from movies, shows, games books and music. So I have to carefully plan out my entertainment around life events as best I can.

As you can imagine it becomes incredibly hard to navigate adult life with no feelings. And not just the big feelings but the little ones too. No drive to go out and do the shopping. No satisfaction of completeing a task. No disappointment if I screw something up. Nothing.

No one else in my life has this, or anything close to it. Most people look at me like I'm a crazy person when I try to explain it. I'm always making excuses for not wanting to watch movies or shows with friends, or bailing when a sad song comes on.

Please, I just want to know someone else has this problem. Anyone. How do you cope? Do you even listen to music? Do you have to leave movies halfway through becuase you couldn't take it?

I just want to know I'm not alone.
