Fire: worst way to go. If that ever does happen, and protection from it hasn't been invented (if that's even possible), I hope it does when I or anyone I care about are long gone. Doomsday theories always make me paranoid and sad. Doesn't help I've been thinking about death a bit lately (and not in a suicidal way).

One that particularly freaks me out is the Great Filter. Saying that the reason we cant find any life elsewhere outside of Earth is because theres certain events that wipe out most life. And either we've survived that filter, or one is closely approaching us ready to wipe us out too.

I just looked it up. There's parts of it that kinda fly over my head and are confusing (because my brain can't really handle a lot of physics). The latter possibility you mention is definitely not ideal. Plus it also doesn't seem to fit with the fact that astronomers seem to be discovering new planets all the time, in different galaxies, and since it's not possible to travel to any of them, how can we know there isn't something living on one of those planets already? Or maybe there is another advanced civilization out there, but they, like us, haven't developed the technology to travel through space (or possibly haven't even developed space exploration technology at all yet).
We have all these theories, but we still don't know. A little part of me hopes all the experts figure out a lot of these things (especially what really happens after you die) in my lifetime, just because it would be a bit of a comfort. Probably won't happen, though.

Hey, don't write yourself off yet
It's only in your head you feel left out or looked down on.
Just try your best, try everything you can.
And don't you worry what they tell themselves when you're away....

YES! The fascists of the Workers Party are going down.
They couldn't take over the country by force like in Venezuela, our armed forces will not tolerate old school communism around here, so they had to use other means. Bribery, embezzlement, extortion, electoral fraud... they have done everything possible to corrupt our democracy and make the state work for the Workers' Party instead of the country.
Now, after more than 10 years in power destroying this nation, the lower house voted by a wide margin for the impeachment of that crazy old hag of a president. Now it goes to the upper house, and it's very likely that the result will be the same.
Finally something is changing around here, but it's a little hard to keep optimistic to be honest.

Whoever is depressed seriously needs to watch The Office. I laugh until I'm crying. Best show ever.

:bigsmile: Coincidentally, I've been listening to Jimmy Eat World a lot lately.
The British or American version ? I like both, so it's hard to choice on that one for me. Actually, ah think I'll just watch Extras as well - mathathon the f**k out of it.

The Confidence Crisis: Why Women Feel Unwanted and Men Feel Undateable
It's a tad religious, but this article was really interesting. The "why women feel unwanted" portion hit the nail on the head for me.

The article makes some good points that I agree with but like many articles on this subject puts all the responsibility back on men while absolving females of any need to take a deeper look at themselves.
The author sums up with:
"As men start to overcome their fear and pursue women, women will begin to feel more beautiful, which will, in fact, make them more beautiful. This greater beauty will encourage more men to pursue them and so on."
The point I take away from the author is "yes guys, I know you are living in fear of divorce, fear of being falsely accused of rape, fear of being accused of being a creep, and fear of rejection but suck it up! Because women aren't feeling good and it's your job to make them feel good about themselves."

Admittedly, I skimmed through some portions of this article only really paying attention to what was most applicable to me. I've never been a man before and can't imagine how terrifying it must be to be expected to approach a women and live with the fears you have mentioned, but for me, this article made me feel like maybe I am kind of normal in how I feel. Pardon my ignorance, but I didn't really know men actually felt that way only because for many years I didn't know guys even had feelings. It sounds ridiculous, I know, but it was the only conclusion I could draw up after many years of being treated like shit by men and the fact that basically since birth men are taught to conceal their emotions. I guess that just proves I still have a lot to learn about the opposite sex.

Yeah I really wish dating conventions had a huge overhaul. I dont see how it benefits anyone. Guys may crack under pressure and not make a move and women might not move first out of fear of looking too easy. A guy might get shot down too much and give up. And a woman might give up because the only guys that approach her are aholes.
