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?

Or an indentured slave to the British empire having your kids eaten by cannibals because you didn't make your rubber picking quota.

WTF are you referring to here? I mean I'm guessing that you're referring to a historical event, rather than making shit up?
