How to deal with living in a world with no future without being high 24/7? (lemm.ee)

Been high nonstop for years. I realize it's bad for my health. But at least being high feels good.

My future is on a planet becoming increasingly unhabitable, under a government becoming increasingly fascist, doing nothing but working and still not being able to afford rent or food, never traveling, never making real friends much less finding a life partner, water quickly becoming a luxury, and with zero chance of ever retiring.

So why even bother?

Wait, you’re saying we shoulda kept some of the ozone hole around?

Kind of.

It should have been addressed and will still be around for decades despite healing, and it is a poster case for "see silly humans, you can mend your ways."

But there is also a cooling effect to a giant hole opposite to the effect of CO2 and improving the ozone may have slightly worsened the speed of warming as a result.
