It's sure weird how depression and anxiety are huge problems for young people in a society where everything costs more every year and every single human act gets monetized, on a planet that is boiling alive, must be a coincidence

[crisps@mastodon.social]

@IDoodle @MostlyHarmless Happy for you. Hope you don't see the 3rd world war in your lifetime

[dartagnan_c@mastodon.world]

@crisps @IDoodle @MostlyHarmless that's optimistic!

[crisps@mastodon.social]

@Dartagnan_C @IDoodle @MostlyHarmless nothing wrong with hoping

[millihertz@oldbytes.space]

@MostlyHarmless no, no, it's evidence of how terribly weak young people are today! in my day we suffered slow agonising death every day and twice on sundays, and we did it with a smile on our face and a happy song on our lips!

@MostlyHarmless No, that's far too sensible. Must be the vaccines or something

[superviviansunshine@jorts.horse]

@crisps @IDoodle @MostlyHarmless waaaaaaay too late for that

@millihertz @MostlyHarmless When I was kid all we had to worry about was littering, smog, and global thermonuclear war. We turned out fine! Fine I tell you! Happy as fucking clams! Fried clams! Now I'm hungry.

[misusecase@twit.social]

@davetortoise @MostlyHarmless Or it must be because of social media.

You can't be anxious or depressed if you die of a preventable disease before you are old enough to understand what is happening around you.

[davetortoise@social.vivaldi.net]

@wulfric @MostlyHarmless good point !! Looking into this

[ukeleleeric@mstdn.social]

@millihertz @MostlyHarmless You were lucky, we even had to think in turn, as we couldn't afford a brain each, as we'd had to sell two off for my grandfather's funeral. (When I say funeral, I mean spade and bucket - we never did find the rest of his body after the unfortunate incident with the whale.)

@MostlyHarmless Wow the only thing I have seen in over a decade that is not a coincidence and someone labels it a coincidence? Coincidence???? Whatever..

[reallylazybear@mastodon.social]

@MostlyHarmless Used to be depressed when I was 17. It's a long story of humiliation and betrayal. I'm 23 now and idk. I'm like 6 light-years beyond it. Whatever depression was, it feels nothing.

4 years passed before I came back to social media. I haven't had friends for 6 years. Also discovered my parents don't care if I live or die a year ago haha

I honestly don't know why I'm still kicking and just having fun. We're not really rich, but yeah. I feel like I'm getting more dumber though.

I'm pretty sure Ryan there was being wry sarcastic. So, are you being a double-rye
