Just popped over to #BlueBird and after only a few scrolls through #TrendingTopics I’m filled with #anxiety and feelings of #hopelessness against all the voices of #stupidity and #hate. A far too common feeling over there. What a truly vile, hateful place it was/is. #Mastodon is where I’m at now. Let’s all make sure it stays this way ♥️

I bought this to start off my sticker collection to add some whimsy to the back of my (hopelessly dingy) laptop.
I searched for some inspiration as to how to position it so that future stickers would have a good amount of space. But in the process, I accidentally doomscrolled into a Tenth Dentist thread where some guy was arguing that laptop stickers were ridiculous and childish.
As I kept looking at his increasingly unhinged responses, holding up as a sin similar to getting drunk at a funeral or wearing a t-shirt to a wedding, I got the unholy urge to smother all my mortal possessions in stickers, if only on the off chance this guy might see it and know misery.
And I remembered.
I HAD A STICKER
The sheer amount of TRIUMPH I felt when I put it on my laptop! Is the positioning perfect? No! Does it matter? Also no!

Frag you in particular, random-ass Redditor from five years ago! (Who, in retrospect at his outrageous analogies, was likely karma farming)

As a #ChangeMaker, how do you work in the face of hopelessness? How do you swim against an overwhelming tide?
It is not as simple, or easy, as saying, "Choose hope."
You need to know why hope matters to you.
Hope is not an ideology. It is not something you simply believe in cerebrally. Such hope shatters under the terrible realities of terrible times.
Neither is hope a guarantee. It doesn't give you any more certainty or control over outcomes.

Power purchase agreements can run 20 - 30 years, so it can seem like a hopeless lock-in.
But there is a wave of re-negotiations whereby the power company is allowed to charge customers more if they shut down their #coal #power plants.
There is a LOT of horse trading involved, so each agreement is different. Here is a recent one in Michigan

As the second single of Anohni's first solo album, "Hopelessness," "Drone Bomb Me" was released on 9 March 2016.
A jarringly catchy song, written from the perspective of a nine-year-old Afghan girl whose family was killed by a U.S. drone strike, praying to be put out of her misery by the same means.

CW: politics
It's crazy how badly the Tories are doing in this campaign. Call me a hopeless optimist, but surely their representation for competence will take at least a generation to recover, if ever?

The benefit of knowing multiple languages is …. If the English subtitles are hopeless, you can try other languages to see if it's better. I suspect these Malay subs were made by an actual human while the English subs were made by a bot with a screw loose.
Fyi, yes I can actually watch these without subs, but as this is a costumed drama, sometimes they use archaic words that I don't understand 😅
I should be less lazy and watch it with Chinese subs but I am tired from an intense day of work, ok? 🤣
PS Drama is called “Towards the Truth”, which you can watch via the iQiyi app. It's actually quite good!

CW: Highly existential thoughts on hope, prompted by a John Green video on the Vlog Brothers channel; may be too bleak for some
We often agree with John Green on many topics, but we do not agree with his thoughts shared in the latest video.
We wrote our thoughts in a comment under the video, but we wanted to share them here too.
We don't really agree with you fully on this John, if we're understanding you correctly. You make it sound like you cannot strive for a better world without having hope, but so very many people keep going not because of having hope, but in spite of feeling somewhat or even entirely hopeless. As a realistic nihilist (not an optimistic one, like from the Kurzgesagt video), there may be no inherent meaning to existence, but we get to give our life meaning. We struggle daily with intense feelings of anxiety, depression, emotional dysregulation, and hopelessness not because we genuinely feel we're going to win or succeed, but because we have to try in spite of everything. That isn't clinging to hope: it's continuing in spite of hopelessness. It's siege mentality. It's expecting to lose, but refusing to give in. It's defiance, stubbornness, and spite: not hope. We make a choice every day to keep trying because there are people out there who need help whom we can help, even just a little, but sometimes a lot more than we realise. It's possible to feel so broken and destroyed that you just want to give into the void some or even most of the time, with your mood changing like the ebb and flow of the tides or a flash flood from a monsoon, but still find yourself clinging to a piece of debris when the storm clears a little, treading water with all your energy, just so you can keep somebody else's head above the water to stop them from drowning. Is this enough for anybody to keep going? Not really, and we'd never judge or criticise anybody for wanting to let go at a time of their choice, and one day we may hit a particularly-bad storm that finally capsizes us for good, but until then, we'll keep going without any real sense of hope or belief, because maybe we can help a few others... and maybe some of them will have hope and may challenge the darkness and horrors of this world.

I wouldn't bother with the book - if it's the one I'm thinking of it's hopelessly outdated. The various wiki pages are better updated. Follow @inarapey for updates from the relevant user group on upcoming scripting changes and maybe the #firestormviewer developers as they are really interested in keeping up to date with new scripting changes.

On Friday September 15th, a dozen masked up Nazis turned up threatening the attendees of a fundraiser benefit gig.
Witnesses reported the Nazis to be shouting slurs, violent threats, boasting that they’ll use their cameras to find where people live/work, even allegedly brandishing knives.
#Antifascists attending the event ensured the show ran smoothly by not allowing Nazis in the venue or to continue threatening people.
The event raised a good chunk of funds for Indigenous solidarity and antifascist researchers, with bands playing their sets unbothered.

"We now leave #navigation to our #phones. The result: more of us are getting hopelessly lost." #JohnHarris
https://www.theguardian.com/commentisfree/2025/apr/27/smartphone-apps-gps-mountain-rescues-rise
"#GPS has cut us off from a basic human skill. It’s no wonder #mountain #rescuers are being called out so often. [...] Between 2019 and 2024, the total number of #rescues had increased by 24%, and there was a marked jump among the 18 to 24 age group, among whom callouts almost doubled. [...] across #Britain, there is evidently a mounting problem about the gap between people’s urge to experience wild and open spaces, and their ability to cope when they actually get there. [...] research suggesting that “people with greater lifetime GPS experience have worse #spatialmemory during self-guided navigation”. [...] retested 3 years after the initial research, when they found that “greater GPS use since initial testing was associated with a steeper decline in hippocampal-dependent spatial memory”. The #hippocampus is the part of the brain that deals with navigation: among London taxi drivers, the need to memorise so many geographical details was found to cause it to increase in size. But here were findings that suggested the opposite: reliance on automated #directions reducing people’s capacity to navigate for themselves." #cartography

one of my more deranged pleasures is visiting the top monthly posts on /r/asoiaf and watch the hopelessness slowly settling in over the community when they realise that the #thewindsofwinter is never coming out. Have been doing this since at least 2015 lmao
