with all this shit going on in the world and in the USA (for those of us in the US).
Life is fucking depressing unless you are
1- stupid/ignorant
2- delusional
3- lucky enough to have a good life- have enough money to not be affected or give a shit about the state of our economy or the shit that’s going on in the world
if we are aware of the bullshit and fuckery going on, how can one be happy? i mean aside from downing drugs to make ourselves into zombies?

The US still has it better overall than many other places. Some people simply are disconnected from reality sufficiently that they aren’t upset about their own or other people’s situations.
But besides human suffering, don’t forget about other animals’ miseries, even those in the wild. Sorry if the thought doesn’t help you feel better.
That’s why I’m moving to the woods. They still have fiber internet out there, I can live on a septic system with a well, I’m not sure if I’ll be fully off grid or with grid tie power. I don’t know if I’ll escape depression but I think my possibility of living longer is better in the woods. Escape, I’ve been doing it into my head and into my garden and video games and books, and I just want to enlarge my domain.
Which it shames me to say is capitalism at the core. That’s why capitalism works is that it makes you want to earn more so you can enlarge your dominance of your domain. I’m really terrified that when I have more, I’ll still want more. You have no idea how scared of that I am. That my hunger will never go away. Somehow I’ll be trapped in this parasitic system until I’m dead and I’ll hate it.
I don’t want it to be all sunshine and rainbows, I just want it to be as good as it was when I was in college, which was pretty darn good. I’d like it a little better than that, because I’d like to not have a hole in my kitchen floor. It was even pretty good when I was working last year.
I just want it as good as that, but not in Oklahoma, and maybe with a swimming pool again like I had back from 2012 to 2015. A really good pool and sauna would help my health a lot, along with a complete weight set.
Oh, some good news I’m switching my THC setup to an herbal vape, so less lung damage, less coughing and runny nose hopefully, just in time for cold and flu season! Better sleep too if I’m lucky. Just a few more days to wait.
