The world will end this December 21st

Suck it, fate
All things must end or at least that is what current mainstream thinking tells us. And if it does well at least that means all the pain and suffering will end as well. Silver lining and all that!
Like "maybe history will end on the 21st... C'mon, c'mon."
Culture-wide freudian death wish, yo

No amount of notice will be enough to prepare, and that is sort of a sweet thing anyway. The world will end and there will still be a dead bug in the Tupperware on top of the fridge. There will still be a dozen half-finished or barely-started Word documents on your computer—admit it.
As the moment approaches, the verb tense will be complicated, hard to wrangle. I will never have gotten around to buying a new comforter, you will never have gotten around to losing that last ten pounds, she will never have gotten around to breaking his heart, even though all of us knew for ages that they’d have been happier if she did.
We’ll all have the idea that we’ll buy something new to wear, something special for the occasion, but mostly we won’t. The only people who will buy new dresses are the kind of people who buy new dresses for things. (My mom might wear one, in the bunker.)
The rest of us will wear our favorite things, and H. and I will stand in front of her closet and touch all of the soft things in it and debate, because that’s what we do, even if we both sort of know she’ll wear that one red dress and those shoes. She’ll debate heels but ultimately decide that flats are who she is, and isn’t that the idea? Not to be someone else, when it’s your very last chance to be who you are?
Yeah, but dark energy is a thing. It is dumping an ever increasing amount of energy into the universe, and we have no idea how that energy will interact with quantum chromodynamic bonding. I haven't heard of a good reason it would not result in matter being created through hadronization.
It's possible to have -2 sex?! ;o
As ever, Red Dwarf has all the answers to Life, the Universe and Everything.
RIMMER: Lister, it *has* happened. You can't change it, any more than you can change what you had for breakfast yesterday.
LISTER: Hey, it hasn't happened, has it? It has "will have going to have happened" happened, but it hasn't actually "happened" happened yet, actually.
RIMMER: Poppycock! It will be happened; it shall be going to be happening; it will be was an event that could will have been taken place in the future. Simple as that. Your bucket's been kicked, baby.
Reading the whole thing feels like the more than slightly crazy proto-blog an acquaintance had in high school (late 90s) in which he made thinly veiled professions of love and hate to everyone around him.

Lucky we haven't found any Metatron-ore, yet.
ed: so I mean basically the only difference will be that they can make 3D animated gifs, now that I think about it
that's why we call it the struggle, you're supposed to sweat

Makes me think of that guy who kept repeatedly predicting that the world would end. The impression that I got, especially towards the end of his life, was that he was unable to accept that the world would continue to exist without him. Not in that it needed him to exist, but that if it continued endlessly, then what was the point of him being alive?
This is probably not even rare
was there ever a teenager who didn't feel that history had somehow been totally ruptured, coincidentally timing with their own life?
it's horrible, president Romney launched all the nuclear weapons to create a better investing environment for private equity
however he fulfilled his campaign promise of both lower taxes and lower unemployment!
Like, everyone died today. The person you are now was actually just created 23 seconds ago with a false set of memories to deceive you into believing you were here all along. For realz.
Like. This is allegedly doomsday. Where is the grand moment of catharsis when we realize that the world isn't ending and that we're stuck with the consequences of our own stupid fucking actions? When are we going to avert the doomsdays that we are creating with our own hands as we speak?
Honestly, dying now in some flashy catastrophe would be confirmation that a single human being has been correct about a single thing, whereas, now...
Bah, fuck it. That blog was right. Every single asshole who thinks that the world will end tomorrow ups the odds that it will.
Your living relatives were just put there by Satan to deceive you.

I almost feel bad for that dude in Netherlands who invested in a boat that can hold 35 people.
Fuck it, going to bed.
"It's the beginning of the end. Things are going to take a turn for the worse and just snowball now. Just you wait"
yeah it's true people who know Krav Maga usually live through disasters that's how it works
That'd be a great premise for a book.
That was already a plot for a Star Trek episode. You are beaten to the punch, I'm afraid.
