I always forget about the rice until the main thing is finished, then I feel like a chump with no rice. >>12052

Do you want that? >>12053

I think it'll only be as boring as we make it. Shit, true, but it's always been a brutal place.

Hmm "do I want that" good question. A period of explosive economic growth and abundance a-la china 1970-2015 would be sick. But an era of hyperdeflation or permanent underclassmanship would be bad. I am ultimately optimistic. I stress about preparing for the future while also accepting it's outside my control and hey maybe I'm wrong. I'll still make my son grind multiplication tables, whatever

Tonight I'm thinking about my laundry which is almost done in the dryer.

Losing my virginity soon

Work. And how to spend my time wisely after work. And the unbearable weight of existence.

You don't seem particularly worried about the trans Holocaust if you are happy to continue to receive prescribed HRT: your name would turn up in the databases.

I'm being hyperbolic, I have crypto on standby, a VPN, and resources bookmarked. I just kinda hate the direction we're going these days. >nobody can pay rent or buy blueberries, but we gotta spend taxpayer money to send all the military aged boys to the middle east...again! >and we also have to make it difficult for people to pay for their mental and sexual health! Their loss, shoulda been born completely free of stress and dysphoria :) It's like spite is all our leaders know anymore. It's hard not to get shitty about it myself. I just want to have my little private corner to not be miserable 24/7 in, and that's taken nearly a decade to obtain. And it still costs me ENTIRELY too much to keep.

The point is nothing short of feds cracking down on all possible forms of shipping can ever be enough to stop me from getting my meds. I already said I was being hyperbolic before, but sure, ignore that to act as though I'm hiding from a nuke in a sleeping bag.

DIY HRT is already cheaper, much of the time, and avoids the 'hondose' issue (for the uninitiated: when doctors prescribe low, ineffective dosages, or use older HRT formulations which are less bioavailable and have worse side effects). Also, we have to be honest about this: the backlash didn't come out of the clear blue sky, it was due to the distance between 'mainstream' trans orgs and where the public was at. It's odd, too, since ordinary transsexuals seemed closer to the broad public's views about these topics than the organisations (probably because activists and 'trenders' ran the charities). >>12134

What makes you think the feds are incapable of crackdowns on DIY HRT? Testosterone is criminalised. Steroids are still banned.

Oh, you are talking about literally not having access to HRT. I misunderstood your use of 'trannypocalypse'. Sorry for being rude

We nearly started WW3 this Sunday,what with Russia bombing a train with security members from various European and America.Russia's still going to go further though,because the spineless euro governments seem to have a habit of not doing anything unless they have to do so. I don't foresee the future being bright,with especially countless incoming resource shortages(Helium,Silver,Zinc),as well as climate change starting to finally rear its ugly head. It's like the inverse of that soprano's quote,we're at the start of everything that's going to collapse.

Fuck I said soprano's instead of sopranos,makes it sound like a restaurant chain.

"collapse" is a fiction, an unreachable point; and the fact that you describe climate change as "finally starting to rear its head" shows your empirical stance in the matter anyway. Any easy way out of our problems, which is why the term appeals to so many people. That masochistic tendency chronic doomscrollers give themselves. Europe doesn't want a hot war because they know they can't win and they see no point in mutual destruction. They've judged that tit for tat conflict is for third worlders and they're right. You call them cowards for not striking back at Russia, where's your helmet and rifle then you keyboard warror? You going to go out there on the front lines against Putin? An entire nation permanently ravaged (Ukraine) for what, so spoiled morons like you can sit on their ass and whine about how no one's going to war against Russia. Ideals such as negotiation and diplomacy are left behind in your forefathers' generation. You laugh at it like the mental baby you are and then spout the line about 'realpolitik', as if you understood the academic context of that phrase. And you have been so engorged on propaganda from Americans that you yourself are convinced that your governments, which broadly speaking act in your benefit (much more so than the Yanks' gobbament in comparison) and have set up a rather privileged welfare state for you, or if you are in the "poor southeast" have kept their hands off of you sufficiently to live your life-- you describe those governments as "spineless". Because what, they didn't draft you or send you to war immediately? Because they didn't puff themselves up with wargames while daddy NATO was out bombing the poors? You are so deep in the hole you don't even know there's a fucking hole.

I was more so talking retaliation more about economic retaliations by making russian shadow tankers harder to actually travel and deal with countries and therefore hurting the Kremlin where it hurts the most in economic damage,especially now when the Kremlin doesn't exactly have free money to spend on the extra costs of protecting those shadow tankers.I do apologize for not going on detail about this point,as that seems to have triggered you into going into a rant,but I am somewhat aware about that war is a losing game for both sides,and the human costs of the war.(I won't pretend to be a political professor,I'm just a dude on the internet.)

I understand why you'd think collapse is an unreachable point,but I'm going to take your role in being angered by text on the internet.We consume an endless amount of resources,more and more,every year,it's a system predicated on infinite things,never-ending growth,destroying and ravaging the world to soothe our never-ending gluttony.A system with only positive feedback,as we're so obsessed with getting rid of negative feedbacks,(as we should be,it's according to our natural systems),will eventually spiral and collapse.I don't think we should just sit back and watch it by,but what the hell can you even do?Ask people not to consume as much?Please,it's human nature to consume as much as we can.So removed from the natural world that we believe we're higher,greater than nature,that we can defy the natural order,we are made in the image of God,we are an exception!Apes that are going to destroy themselves in arrogance.It's all natural,all of it,the cities,the concrete,for if a bee hive is natural,then so is mans hives.Alright that's enough schizoid garbage coming from my mouth,I'm sounding like a damn crackhead. The reason I said "finally rearing its head" is because it sounds cool.

China’s massive growth was post post 2000 ending during covid. During the transfer of Hong Kong’s sovereignty in 1997 China had a lower GDP than England only passing it in 2006.

I think this will ultimately be a good thing. Normies have proven that they can't handle infinity resources and attention without becoming monsters, most people shouldn't have access to technology at the level they currently enjoy.
