  • This is exactly my mindset these days. I never managed to get ahead, hell i barely ever managed to catch up. I’ve been paranoid in the past about my inability to put aside any savings, but now i don’t even think it matters. In the end, the healthcare industry will ultimately take all of my money–there’s no way i can afford treatment for even minor problems, much less the big stuff that lies in wait for us when we get older. So why bother trying to create a savings–just to have them take it all away? So i can squeak a couple more years of life, penniless after having battled cancer? Fuck that.




  • That was a fascinating read! The 2 accidents surrounding it were very interesting to read about. They were both basic human mistakes that led to the ghastly consequences they unfortunately produced. The 2nd accident though, by Slotin–that was hubris. How could one have skirted such simple safety protocols? Dude was controlling a very very very powerful experiment with a screwdriver in his hand being all that stood between the team of scientists and a staggering amount of radiation… Then it slips! 👀




  • Nothing weird about it. End of the world seems within our sights. Perfect time to pick up a self-destructive habit, imo 😅

    For real though, i quit a few years back and it’s been such a game-changer. I also chalk the fact that i did something positive and healthy as the reason why we seem to be nearing a potential ‘end-of-world’ scenario. If i just would have continued suckin down those cancer sticks we would likely be in a much better position, globally. Sorry guys 😬
