I'm somewhat validated to hear of somebody else having this nickname.

I think most people just truly don't want to think that something bad is going to happen. So even the ones close to me that know my track record and have used the nickname still seem like they're making a conscious choice to not deal with that information, even if that means being blindsided later while I sigh hard enough to eject my soul from my body.

Often, there isn't really a whole lot anyone can do though. It's pretty obvious to me there's going to be more war in Europe in the next five years, but unless you have fuck you money, what can you do? Go live in a hut in Patagonia somewhere maybe...
