My question, my thoughts.....

How do you deal with the world? How?

Everything is on fire, and terrifying, and a shitshow….

So what's something random you do to help yourself cope?

Its not easy. But it is simple..
Problems come in several types. Those too big to worry about.. Those too small to worry about. Those that effect me personally, those that dont effect me personally. Those I can do something about and those I cant do anything about.
I start with those I can do something about. that will effect me and that are worth my time to deal with.. (Remember 80% of the things you are worried about will never happen)
Once I have conquered that category I look at the "too big to worry about" pile like pollution and global warming or nuclear way.. And I think global, but act local. I recycle, dont waste water, have PV panels on the roof and dont drive a gas guzzler and brought my kids up with the same values. Now I am teaching my grandkids those lessons, so that hopefully they will cope into the future. I cant save the world. But maybe I can help save my family..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman What's a PV panel?? Photo Voltaic??

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@masterofyou Yes. Our Roof generates between half and three quarters of the electricity we use..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman How many batteries for storage??

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@masterofyou None.. The cost doesnt justify the expense...😷

masterofyou · 70-79, M

@whowasthatmaskedman no batteries to maintain even power during the night???

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@masterofyou Nope. The expense isnt worth it for the little we use..😷

@whowasthatmaskedman so what good is it when the grid goes down??

whowasthatmaskedman · 70-79, M

@masterofyou That doesnt happen here. Our city grid is interlocked so if interrupted a new circuit takes over in seconds.😷

masterofyou · 70-79, M

@whowasthatmaskedman That won't last forever... What have you done to harden your grid from a CME or nuclear burst in the atmosphere??

@masterofyou Thats one of those, cant control and too big to worry abouit " problems. If things get that far we will be sleeping in the car in the hills someplace..😷
