I wonder what they will call this period in the history books in 100 years times? Maybe the Enshitening would work, the anti-theses to the Enlightening period where everything they did kept turning to shite, and instead of stopping to think and learn, they just kept turning everything into even more shite
Perhaps this is even optimistic
The next wave should be €15 chicken fillet rolls
Your priorities seems a bit off if war across Europe is less concerning than your money. 😁
I remember when the pandemic first started me and my friends all said “This’ll just accelerate the recession we’re due.”
Little did we know…
I’m about to buy a house. Wondering if I’m mad, or if I should wait for a crash
I’d say the next two weeks will tell alot.
What, no climate change?
We could be headed for a recession with stagflation.
Which is way worse than just a recession.
Last revolution they didn’t realise it was a revolution until 5 years after.
BTW where them Hong Kong protests go.
I feel the fuckening has a nice ring to it
And houses will still be 23 million euros in Ireland
Remember apartments at auctions for €30k in 2010? Good times
**The Jackpot**. What William Gibson calls the current, slow motion apocalypse.
​
…..the jackpot was “no one thing”: “multicausal, with no particular beginning and no end. More a climate than an event, so not the way apocalypse stories liked to have a big event, after which everybody ran around with guns . . . or else were eaten alive by something caused by the big event. Not like that.” Triggered mainly by climate change, the jackpot included:
*nothing you could really call a nuclear war. Just everything else, tangled in the changing climate: droughts, water shortages, crop failures, honeybees gone like they almost were now, collapse of other keystone species, every last alpha predator gone, antibiotics doing even less than they already did, diseases that were never quite the one big pandemic but big enough to be historic events in themselves.*
*Over forty years, 80 percent of the human population died; the surviving 20 percent, meanwhile, benefited from the technologies that developed as the slaughterhouse of history unfolded: “cleaner, cheaper energy sources, more effective ways to get carbon out of the air, new drugs that did what antibiotics had done before, nanotechnology that was more than just car paint that healed itself or camo crawling on a ball cap.” Also, of course, the rich got richer, “there being fewer to own whatever there was.”*
Still, chin up.
I cant wait for my third “once in a lifetime recession”
Wait until you see Global Thermometer War
Just when I thought I could be back to old life after Covid ended, they bombed me with potential WW3. I think at this point, the other side seems much more peaceful than living on Earth 🤣
Do what I did, get an ice cream and sit in the park. Life is chaos.
Like I’m 30 now and I honestly can’t properly remember a time things have ever been good.
All I know is that for a certain 1% of people, these times have been very good, and they will only get better for those hateful cunts.
Crazy how many once in a lifetime events have happened in the last 15 years or so
Yeah big kuddo to my father who said it was the most perfect time to graduate and get your first job 👌
Reading through this thread before getting out of bed was a terrible, terrible idea.
The Snoring 20’s
Now, melt the greenland & antartic icecaps, burn the few acres that left of the amazon, pop a few supervolcanos, wake up some grumpy putin version of artificial intelligence and we’ll have ourselvs a great lil gig goin…
Ireland gonna do well in the stone age, we have a lot of them 😉
I think we should call it the Groaning ’20s.
add Climate Change and Antibiotic resistance and we’re good to go!
add another for the climate crisis
Can we consider throwing all politicians, celebrities and billionaires out into the sea?
Nuclear winter?
The resource war will long before the European war
Then a much much bigger wave behind that: Climate Change, mass extinction, ecosystem collapse, crop failure, starvation…
And the earth quake that started these tsunamis was the death of Harambe
Moving to Ireland in one month exactly.
Happy to see people there are optimistic about the future 😂
Covid in my current workplace has prevented me from starting my new job tomorrow, they dont want me since I’m a CC despite being fully vaccinated. Not like I could leave the place now, we’re one staff member away from having to shut down the hotel *again*
Don’t forget the climate change apocalypse that we’re running towards at full speed.
The biggest one is climate change
I just think it’s hilarious that we were all excited 2022 and we’re barely 3 months and everything is so doom and gloom
I would probably say recession is optimistic. Too many factors for a healthy economy are out of control.
You forgot housing crisis, health care system, and global warming 🤩
