Idk what your society or definition of “insanity” is but assuming you’re asking what we believe most commonly leads to one’s mental health entering a negative feedback loop:
Broadly speaking it’s some form of hopeless desperation (yes, the hopeless qualifier matters here) that commonly kicks into high gear after falling into homelessness, at least based on my own observations
Some also get to play on hard mode simply for winning the genetic and/or socio-economic anti-lottery
The name Salazar will now forever be translated to “French Dwarf Dude” in my head

Same way you overcome any of life’s challenges: decide it’s impossible bullshit and move onto another game
Not sure what the science is between 2 images with no source or timestamp and nearly 20 years of technological improvement between them is but this isn’t the peak of Katrina
Katrina ultimately reached its peak strength as a Category 5 hurricane on the Saffir–Simpson scale on August 28. Its maximum sustained winds reached 175 mph (280 km/h) and its pressure fell to 902 mbar (hPa; 26.63 inHg), ranking it among the strongest ever recorded in the Gulf of Mexico.
It probably refers to its stats at landfall
Katrina weakened to a Category 3 before making landfall along the northern Gulf Coast, first in southeast Louisiana (sustained winds: 125mph) and then made landfall once more along the Mississippi Gulf Coast (sustained winds: 120mph). Katrina finally weakened below hurricane intensity late on August 29th over east central Mississippi.
But power doesn’t equal damage for weather
[Katrina] is the costliest hurricane to ever hit the United States, surpassing the record previously held by Hurricane Andrew from 1992. In addition, Katrina is one of the five deadliest hurricanes to ever strike the United States

Science!
Doesn’t sound familiar but I understand there’s very little to go off here
Can’t remember the name but there’s a novel set in Ireland in the not-too-distant future
Synopsis implied it had become a surveillance state but didn’t gave up before confirming due to the literal writing style
I swear every sentence was written in the passive voice (poorly remembered examples):
“It was made known through the clothes he wore they were sent from the department of security”
“As she walked outside the smell made Spring’s arrival clear”
Totally fine normally but do it every single sentence and it becomes a mystery novel where the mystery is what the hell you just read!
… Or idk, Harry Potter 5 is pretty meandering
Pick any human development index measurement and view its progress over the past 10 years
Counterpoint: what?
I run distro, btw
What does he think is above his head in the third panel?
Yeah, more or less both
Keep your share of rent between 1/4 and 1/3 of your income, set up passive savings contributions of at least 10% and use a high yield savings account to stave off inflation until you both have 3 months living expenses and understand why the best investment strategies are boring
If you’re in university, your desired career and its requirements should determine your major, , not the other way around
I graduated with a bachelor’s degree only to realize my career was a dead end because only in my senior year was I informed there’s such thing as a “mental health license” for which I was disqualified due to low grades in a non-related class the year prior. Eventually I learned how well blue collar jobs pay (with a lot of job security at that) and got back on my feet working in logistics but I’ll never see the 50x return on investments by retirement because “why learn about finances when you can barely pay rent”
It all seems very obvious in hindsight
Kinda seems like a different take on cul-de-sacs
I’m deep and this is 14
Nobody can answer this question for you but I think to the countless examples of people not “getting out while they can” who are now–or were until their death–forever trapped in a bad situation that people today forget wasn’t that bad even within living memory
Is it right for you? I don’t know
Is it cowardly to let a sense of national loyalty compel you to be exposed to the mechanisms of government wielded by untrustworthy actors? No, and anybody saying otherwise is lying to you at best; lying to themselves at worst
Inb4 any what aboutisms: nothing I’ve said here is specific to any country
Flying cars are also horrifying: they’ve existed for about a century, popular culture won’t accept they’re a bad idea and imagine the research breakthroughs drone warfare would experience if a consumer market were funneling funds in from a whole new closely-related industry
