Doom​


That rare feeling when you know something bad is coming and you can't do anything to stop it. A strange mix of sadness, anger, and urgency.

This thread is for venting emotions about how screwed we are so it won't pollute other threads.

Feel free to talk about:


Peak Oil
The coming fresh water crisis
The global financial crisis that never ends
Preppers
Asteroid strikes
All jobs being taken over by robots
Mortality
Japan still spewing radioactive waste into the Pacific Ocean
Global Warming
Bacteria infections that resist all antiboitics spreading everywhere now



Ace of Spades blog even has a theme running about it.
Here is the Doom twitter feed for a steady stream of doom stories! https://twitter.com/AoSHQDOOM

The world is most certainly not doomed, Jesus is coming, soon.

Most people are doomed, but you already knew that.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) on Thursday warned state and local health officials about potential infections from a deadly virus previously unseen in humans that has now sickened 14 people and killed 8.

Most of the infections have occurred in the Middle East, but a new analysis of three confirmed infections in Britain suggests the virus can pass from person to person rather than from animal to humans, the CDC said in its Weekly Morbidity and Mortality Report on Thursday.

The virus is a coronavirus, part of the same family of viruses as the common cold and the deadly outbreak of Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS) that first emerged in Asia in 2003. The new virus is not the same as SARS, but like the SARS virus, it is similar to those found in bats.

Jeez, the 1918 flu pandemic infected 500 million people and killed 50 to 100 million and people get worried when something similiar like bird flu and sars show up.

It can never happen again. Relax ;)
 
The US monetary base has been expanded from 800 billion to 3 trillion since the Fed responded to the crisis and you want me to relax?

Not happening.

Edit: China will have 30 million more men of marriagable age than women in 2020 and you want me to relax?

Seriously? Relax?

Re-Edit: Jay Carney claims we can shoot down incoming ICBMs so we can all relax.

Seriously?
 
More then one billion people in the world lack access to clean water, and things are getting worse. Over the next two decades, the average supply of water per person will drop by a third, possibly condemning millions of people to an avoidable premature death.

The sky is falling, the ground is sinking and I need a drink.

Send some of those guys my way...I'm sure they will be gay since all the women will be taken...

being Bi does have its advantages...:p

EDIT alot of the places that don't have clean water also have alot of people who don't have access to condoms...I wonder if there is a link...?

wrap it up and maybe there would be a cup of water left for you to drink instead of popping out more mouths to feed...
 
I'd just as soon nobody start a thread here with the word doom in it. Have some compassion. You guys know I have a condition.

The federal debt has increased $2.5 trillion over the past two years, during a time when federal spending has been governed by a series of deals cut between Republican House Speaker John Boehner and Democratic President Barack Obama.

Boehner became speaker on Jan. 5, 2011, when the 112th Congress began its first session. At that time, the federal government was operating under a continuing resolution (CR) passed on Dec. 21, 2010 by the previous Congress.

On March 1, 2011, Boehner and Obama made their first spending deal to provide funding for the government after the then-current CR expired on the March 4, 2011. Since then, consistent with Congress's constitutional authority over spending, all federal spending has been conducted under legislation approved by the Republican-controlled House and agreed to by the Democrat-controlled Senate and President Obama.

At the close of business on March 4, 2011, when the first Boehner-Obama spending deal took effect, the federal debt was $14,182,627,184,881.03, according to the U.S. Treasury. As of the close of business on March 6, 2013, when the Republican-controlled House passed its latest CR, the federal debt was $16,692,238,790,019.20.

That means the federal government's debt has increased $2,509,611,605,138.17 since the first Boehner-Obama deal took effect.

There are now approximately 115,031,000 households in the United States, according to the U.S. Census Bureau. The $2,509,611,605,138.17 increase in the debt since the first Boehner-Obama equals about $21,817 per household.

That means under Boehner-Obama spending deals, federal debt per household has been increasing at a pace of about $10,909 per year.

:lol: Sorry, had to make a thread that had 50% more Doom than the regular kind.


So now that student loan debts are greater in amount than credit cards, someone has finally figured out a way to short the student loan bubble.

http://www.zerohedge.com/news/2013-03-03/so-you-want-short-student-loan-bubble-now-you-can



I'm not sure a free online university like this one can topple the college education system. Or people earning certificates instead of a diploma. But I'm sure some people will be willing to bet that the bubble will pop sooner or later.

Mmm trig courses. I suggest the Calculus button. Why kill yourself like the ancient greeks finding the area of a circle using the method of exhaustion when you can use calculus instead!

96 sided polygon :crazyeye:
That's hardcore
 
Oh, I get it. This is actually a MisterCooper containment thread. Draw me right in.

Clever boy. Not going to work.

I'll fight!

Oh no, this is no mere honeypot thread. :coffee:

We are defiinitely in interesting times, Chinese style.


Intractable problems are multiplying like rabbits. Other threads are too timid to fully contain our current situation. I wanted a thread with tentacles to every shred of Doom out there.
 
So Detroit is rapidly heading back to wilderness.

http://www.mnn.com/earth-matters/wilderness-resources/blogs/living-off-the-land-in-detroit



And yes, you really can buy a house there for $1000. Some are listed at $1.

http://www.realtor.com/realestatean...MI#realestateandhomes-search/Detroit_MI/sby-1



I wonder what the consequences are for buying that $1 house are.
Crazy property tax bill at the end of the year? Surprise back taxes owed? Immediate notices to spend ______ dollars to bring the building up to code or else?
Maybe just bad area or condition. I have no idea. :hmm:


Is there any hope for such a city? :sad:
 
We should pool our money together and buy a CFC mansion in the Detroit ghetto. We could take turns guarding the premises 24/h and spend the rest of the time throwing sexy parties and playing video games. And if one of us is a decent chemist, we could even make enough money to sustain the mansion by cooking meth in the basement and selling it to our neighbours.
