    what the fuck am I doing depriving myself of whatever brief pleasure I can find if we’re all going to fucking die of climate change

    This goes through my mind a lot, too. The less-than-satisfying responses I sometimes talk myself into are:

    1. I'd rather stubbornly try to do something than give up, and
    2. Things can change fast and unexpectedly, and if we keep at it we might get lucky.

        Have you tried psychedelics? Way better for your body than booze, not addictive, no hangovers (which is a big help if you're trying to get up the energy to grind through job applications), and cheaper than either booze or weed. They're a great way to take a little mental vacation and feel happy with fewer side effects.
