Sick of it all!!

Sick and tired of all the "doom porn" just lately.
In the UK we have warnings about temperatures exceeding 30⁰C and the fact that your house will explode, travel will be impossible, you'll spontaneously combust due to the excessive heat!
Covid is on the rise so get your booster!
The NHS (National Health Service) is going to collapse!
Fuel prices and the constant cost of living issues (although the Government could sort this by reducing fuel tax)
Airports are beyond capacity, so dont fly! Don't even think of going on holiday!
Yes, you may see some sarcasm in this post...
I'm just getting sick to the back teeth of it all!
The purpose of this thread is to let you vent! Get it all out and see if others feel the same way!!!!
God knows I'm done with all this bs.

38C forecast for my area on Monday and Tuesday and I work outdoors , there's a chance roads could start to melt and no doubt rails will buckle so it could get tricky out there , it's going to be a tough couple of days.

The doom porn doesn't really bother me. It's the woke sh!t that I'm sick and tired of.

I'm with you.
I've been feeling very low , because of loss of any hope for the future.
With the 'great reset' and 'social credit scores' looming, we will be digital slaves.

We won't even be able to buy an apple without a positive 'social credit score'.
Even prisoners today, have better lives than that. At least they are always ensured food!

My income is in my assets, and as 'you will own nothing and be happy' , that will be the end of that.
Then there will be government assigned work, till the day you die off course, as there will be no savings and owning of assets. Oh , and your 'digital dollar points' will be reset to zero at the end of each month.

I'm feeling suicidal again, was feeling a bit better, but it's really as terrible as I feared.
What's the point of doing anything anymore, why work towards any goals as they will destroy any reason to do that.
Ugh. Sorry, just being a debby downer, but it's over for all of us soon if we don't do something

Forecast for tomorrow in my sunny California town is 39.4°C (103°).

Just another summer day.

Why we drink our beers cold.

Gasoline is expensive, but prices are coming down; doesn't matter to me since everything I need, including a riverfront beach is within 10 miles of me. Or I can drive 2 hours east to the mountains, or 2 hours west to the ocean.

My pension pays my Healthcare, I'm vaxxed, boosted, and healthier than I've ever been.

Food is costing more, but I'm learning to adapt my cooking skills to a less expensive Asian-centered cuisine.

Aside from doom porn, which I eat for breakfast...it's the weaponized political nonsense...

The chaos will continue for at least a few more years; probably till 2030.


This Strategy of Tension has been ratcheted up since the Global Financial Crisis. It’s current iteration of culture war expresses itself as an MMO/ARG re-enactment LARP of the Battle of Thermopylae. Cybernetic/PsyWar Stratgems are being deployed against the population to antagonize and distract the bottom 90% while the US is being liquidated and folded into a global governance system. Ideological cordyceps are rampant in the evolving adversarial memeplex.


"Well, I don't want no Jesus freak to
Tell me what it's all about
No black magician telling me
To cast my soul out
Don't believe in violence
I don't even believe in peace
I've opened the door
Now my mind has been released..."

I’m sick of listening to people who collect disability whine about the costs of things now, and most of them complaining voted for Biden. Not everyone obviously. Just the whiners who worked maybe 2 years of their life then claim to see dragons in their kitchens to get disability for the easy way out. What’s the problem? It’s not like you have to go anywhere? Probably because they can’t order like 20 packages from Amazon a week that I have to trip over when I get home from work because they are too lazy to get their damn packages.

I believe Biden won because there are more people on disability than there are working, and the lazies don’t want to lose their free rides. jokes on them though when they go to retire, they won’t get s—- because they barely paid into it.

Like, hello, try standing on your feet for 9-1/2 hours dealing with demands and then get bitched at by one of these whiners, who then stare you down for NO reason other than they are having a bad day. I’d like to see you come at me like that outside of work! I fantasize about laying the smack down on some of these b’s.

I don’t even know how people who work outside for that long do it. I’m guessing hydrating but dam. I used to be a playground aide in AZ and I could easily drink a gallon of water in 2 hours, but I loved the kids so it was worth it.

Morale among people is low. We are all struggling in some way.

People beeping incessantly lately. I was at a red light the other day and some idiot just starts blaring his horn at me, ironically, there was a police officer parked parallel to where we were unbeknownst to him. Lol

If I’m a minute late now paying my rent I immediately get interest fees, last month I noticed they charged interest 3?days before rent was due,

Also, is there a shortage on soap? Have people stopped showering to save the planet?

One more thing, Patchouli wearers WHY?????

I hear you on this one.

I went today to do a quick job spraying bio diesel for dust control... simply standing on the back of a truck turning a tap on and off, while driving around a gravel pit. It was warm, overcast with a lovely scented breeze. A sense of joy arose in me that I jokingly thought a dog must feel in the back of a truck, or head out a window. Joy at living in the moment.

Then, getting back into the truck, back to reality, the tears started. Embarrassing. It had been so long since I felt true joy, the joy that makes it awesome to be alive. I realized the toll on my life that this knowledge takes and what it has cost me. Not that I'd change it but I yearn for that moment of pure joy and all around I see a broken society, fighting over whose hate is more important.

I admit, part of it is being an adult, part is that I've always been a somewhat melancholy loner, but it's also the last two years doing my head in. I'm at peace with any outcome but the joy and small rewards seem to have dried up.

If you want someone to chat with, feel free to message me. I understand. Most of us here do. We are trying our best with no results to gauge if we're even going the right direction.

Amen. I've always hated that stuff, and it's been over 40 years.

The folks issuing warnings should try this side of the pond (Northern US flyover).

I won't brag about extremes, but in 1814 the British asked "Dear God! Is this the weather to which you are accustomed in this infernal country?". Perhaps the admiral was right.

The last two years have done it for me. I just constantly feel empty and hopeless.
There's certainly nothing left to look forward to , as there's no future.
I might start a thread for optimistic posts, things that give hope as we all need it at this point

When we were teens, my brother actually thought that's what you'd smell like if you didn't wash.

I don't wash much but it's because I can't be bothered. Besides, animals don't wash and they're fine. After some time, your bacterial army stabilizes and you become bullet proof.

Absolutely. Totally relate, especially having kids. One of my sons got the shots so he could go to the pub and he was the more aware of the bunch, right down to knowing about the reset and all.

I even called a crisis line at the beginning of the "pandemic" as I felt that constant empty and hopeless feeling you mentioned. After explaining my position on it, the person on the other line went silent a few very long seconds, then hung up on me. Nice! What was I thinking? Because they are so "all in it together" they are so far removed they don't know what to say or do. My crisis was not their crisis, end of caring.

I've found a lot of hope in being on ATS simply because it's ok to discuss it all here. It's not exactly uplifting but at least it isn't censored. Some of your posts here have helped me because of you honesty on how it's affecting life and emotions.

If our paths led here, to this conversation it's because we can handle it. Unpleasant yes, but our curiosity brings light to the dark. It won't feel good but it is the right thing to do.

You should feel free to PM me anytime you need it , I will always respond

I am sick and tired of being accused of stuff I've never done and I am getting ready to dissapear. permanently into the abyss of nothingness....humanity is just too cruel and I am ready to leave and live alone in the woods

Have any of you folks considered that it might be in your best interest to stop reading all the doom porn on here?

It's all wild speculation.

Turn your phone and computer off for a few days and quit reading this #. It's making you miserable.

Go outside and play and enjoy your life for a bit.

Roads could to start to melt? At 38? What am I missing here? 🤔

We can look at the moon and stars at night. We know we will wake up in the morning maybe with more troubles. But we just got to survive by our wits. Our national leaders are mostly frauds . Even the POS in the Oval Office. Why would I obey his order to defend another country while our southern border is being invaded and yet no one in DC is calling for his fkn removal.

At least something is still working in you if all this makes you sick, would have to be a psycho to get off on it. If you just did not care either way, a sociopath.

The scale of the psychological war put against the population has been a successful one. There tide is turning as more and more people are gradually waking up. As for how much longer these dark ages go on, I don't know?

That we're talking about the UK and our infrastructure isn't designed for those temps.
