          I’m from 1980. I’m glad I don’t have children. I hope I can avoid the water wars, but I’m not sure I’ll choose to stay around long enough to see Hayley’s Comet again. I don’t think the collapse of global society (including, but not limited to the Internet) is eminent, but it does seem damn-near unavoidable: We need to act globally soon, and convincing/replacing current global leadership seems like it will take too long.

    Haha come on, I’m a millennial on the wrong side of 35, and climate change is just one of the things fueling my mental health crisis. SMH filthy casuals.
