>>117491680You know the expression “Expect the worst, so that everything that isn’t will cheer you up”?
That’s 2020. Assume everything is canceled. Every creator or writer or artist or whatever has died or fucked their career. Assume ten worse plagues come, as well as enough nukes that the life expectancy on even the best places on Earth is no more than 45. Assume the literal worst political party wins, not the party that you dislike that has a chance of winning, but the furthest possible extreme from rationality or a positive outcome.
Imagine either the rapture happens or proof is found there is no afterlife or intelligent design, whichever is worse to you.
Imagine the next generation is born retarded, to the very last baby for the next ten years. Not on the spectrum, not neurodivergent, retarded to the point that they are mentally impaired and cannot function alone.
Now just be happy that it isn’t that bad yet. It could still happen, but maybe New Years will come and you’ll be pleasantly surprised that not all of it occurred. Maybe not in 2021 either.
If we collectively glass half empty this shit, then maybe some of the people flipping out and doing stupid fucking shit might be reduced. Because if people don’t buck up then I wouldn't be surprised to see actual doomsday cults soon.
