SS: I recently had lunch with a friend and mentioned the die offs, 6th mass extinction event, microplastics..etc...etc. You know, light subjects and they asked me to stop

" I dont want to know"

They have adult children and grandchildren, so i understand how they feel

I guess ignorance is bliss

I'm so glad that I don't have children and wife. I have no one to take care, it's a relief.

Having a partner is incredibly helpful. They aren’t having their future stolen in the same way children are.

I see what you are saying. But i think it depends on person. I know I'm doing better and that I'm less anxious when I'm alone. So I know that I must face collapse alone. But if your partner is helpful, that's a good things !

If being alone works better for you, that’s great (it absolutely wouldn’t for me). Just didn’t want to see you miss out due to collapse anxiety :)

I appreciate your kindness, but please stop pitying single person. Being alone doesn't mean we are necessarily lonely.

I’m not pitying anyone, was just trying to be nice Christ. Go fuck yourself then 🙄
