What an god-awful day to be literate.

Somehow Ska has returned

There's still soup!!

He's one hoopy frood

I've always assumed that a cat would go nuts stuck inside all the time. Maybe I'm wrong but I imagine that most people would view it as cruel.

Fortnite never changes.

GI JJJJJJJJJJOOOOOOOOOOOEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAH!

Jesus Christ, the comment section on that video...

Here's a reminder that Ubisoft is a hateful company run by a hateful man and no one should be buying their games: https://www.gamesindustry.biz/ubisoft-has-reportedly-made-minimal-changes-following-abuse-allegations

Glass? We used that for decades.

No problem! It's not easy, as you say. Here's some links to more positive places on Lemmy that you might find also help improve your mood:

Try and stay happy Friend!

I absolutely agree that prioritising your own mental health is something everyone should do, but don't you think that governments and corporations are even less likely to do anything if people like yourself just throw up their hands in frustration and give up?

There are ways of maintaining good mental health, but I'm not sure doing a full 180 is one of them.

That sounds like an opinion born of understandable frustration. However evidence suggests that people are more willing to make changes than you might think: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2021/09/14/in-response-to-climate-change-citizens-in-advanced-economies-are-willing-to-alter-how-they-live-and-work/pg_2021-09-14_climate_0-01-png/

And they do.

That sounds frustrating but, with respect, evidence suggests otherwise: https://www.cleanenergywire.org/factsheets/global-surveys-show-peoples-growing-concern-about-climate-change#one

That must be frustrating, but try not to let personal experience cloud the bigger picture. More people are willing to take action than you might think: https://www.pewresearch.org/global/2021/09/14/in-response-to-climate-change-citizens-in-advanced-economies-are-willing-to-alter-how-they-live-and-work/pg_2021-09-14_climate_0-01-png/

And people are taking action, here's some recent examples: https://curious.earth/blog/climate-success-stories/

Things look bleak, and it's hard to remain optimistic, so it's more important than ever to take the time to remind yourself of what is going right in the world:

As you correctly identified constantly doomscrolling is bad for your health.

It's easy to lose track of the difference an individual can make to climate change, but you must view it from an appropriate perspective:

It's hard to remain positive these days, so please take some time to remind yourself about all the things that are going well in the world:

Actually, not only are the vast majority of people aware of man made climate change, they also consider it personally important and a government priorty: https://climatecommunication.yale.edu/wp-content/uploads/2023/11/international-public-opinion-climate-change-2023-appendix.pdf

No idea why reports are never linked in articles like this, tbh. It only took me a couple of minutes to find: https://cps.org.uk/wp-content/uploads/2024/05/CPS_TAKING_BACK_CONTROL_PDF.pdf
