@Solbera@WhiteDissidentRadio@WashedOutGundamPilot@DrRyanSkelton Sometimes on 4chan /pol/ people will make threads asking “if you could go back would you” like in the “if you could undo everything you ever learned would you do it” context, go back to being a happy ignorant debt slave whose biggest concern was catching fucking Everybody Loves Deshawn or whatever’s on TV and eating dinner with friends and I have to say yeah I probably would because knowing this shit, it hasn’t made me happy. Every day is like “whoo go fuck up the Jewish devil machine” and then there are moments like this that I’m having now where I’m like “wow I am fucking helpless against the tide, welcome to die.” Some days I feel like knowledge and knowing didn’t empower me, they just made me aware that I am trapped that we are trapped, how much the deck is stacked against us. What the fuck? Why does it have to be this I wonder? It’s so fucking stupid what we’re collectively doing to ourselves. Fuck me, this whole thing is so fucking needless. Needless.
@Solbera@Owl@WhiteDissidentRadio@DrRyanSkelton People act like there aren’t frontiers but there are for US. When I was a dumb kid I took a random job with a guy who had contracts in south america, I took the job (despite everyone telling me I was insane) and ended up spending a few years adventuring around on company dime and gaining a LOT of experience I wouldn’t have been able to get in the USA…..things are much freer without the legalism.
Anyone could do that kind of thing, expand their horizons, head out on their own, and explore a bit. Nobody talks about it though, it’s like kids are taught the only way to travel the world for work is via the military
@Owl@WhiteDissidentRadio@WashedOutGundamPilot@DrRyanSkelton We lack the frontier to explore. People like the jester and the dissident clowns on here are meant to be the weirdos that ride off into the unknown and either die or become legends. There is no middle ground. Existing to challenge the norm.
So many people lack purpose, constantly aimless, feeling like they are climbing an endless ladder in total darkness while some of the rungs are missing.
I don’t know if I’m happier being awake to the evils of the world, It has brought me some joy and a lot of suffering, but so has life.
Reminds me of a clip from justice league unlimited. The truth lies somewhere between Lex Luthor and Amazo. I question if I have purpose and if that purpose is to suffer.
@Lady_Euromutt@Solbera@DrRyanSkelton@Owl@WhiteDissidentRadio I won’t tell you how to live your life but often times this can help be addressed by looking outward and helping others. Look for those who are quietly drowning and do something small, something that takes you out of your comfort zone a little bit and makes someone else’s life a little bit better.
Make a goal to do it once a day, even if it’s as simple as being on the lookout for something to compliment in others. Telling someone you appreciate their outfit, or you’re impressed by a skill can make their day. Words are so cheap and low-effort, but they can yield so much happiness when wielded well.
@WashedOutGundamPilot@Lady_Euromutt@Solbera@DrRyanSkelton@Owl@WhiteDissidentRadio Something that goes unnoticed is elder care. There are a lot of people struggling to take care of the aged ones in the family. Family will think that everything's fine because grandma's still got her mind and she can care for her mentally-gone husband alone, but she's actually crushed under the stress of having to play nurse 24/7.
Chances are she could really use a day to herself without having to carry that load. That's a simple thing that I bet a whole lot of us have in our family, and you get to build a stronger relationship with your roots.
Just an idea. With how common alzheimers is today, and how expensive care is, you could really help someone out just by babysitting grandpa for a day
