zugzwangxiety: state of knowing you have to make a move, that it will certainly make your life worse in the short term with no guarantee of it doing any good in the long term, and just procrastinating as the clock runs out, making the situation ∂worse with every ∂tick anyway

like everybody else, there are problems I am... shall we say wishfully neglecting to think through/act on while covid is raging (some because I can't act, others because I don't feel like acting), all of which are getting ∂worse by the ∂tick of course... zemblanity ftw

Kids really get zugzwangs. “Would you rather....?” is the elemental zugzwang game. Would you rather have nasty incurable boils all over your body like a horror movie thing or lose both arms?

Personally, faced with this choice, I’d go into my save room and meditate and do bonsai and shitpost while waiting for the coin toss that determines the order in which I’ll get both the boils and the arms cut off (heads/tails = which one happens first)
