The decision taker must be represented tied to the tracks as well
Eventually, the trolley will have lost all momentum though
Hella rad m’kitty
Life has no meaning, just enjoy the ride.
What if I’m not enjoying the ride?
oh no
Change the ride.
But my family would feel temporarily sad.
Have you tried masochism?
That’s on you.
It’s like saying you’re bored. There is no entertainment captain on this ship and likewise there is no one that is going to seek you out and feed you joy.
I meant it more as being an American in this hell hole.
What specifically is not fun for you, for example?
For real?
I wake up every day wondering if family members, friends and neighbors have been kidnapped or even shot by my own government just because of the color of their skin. That’s in addition to a laundry list of other things the US is doing to destroy us, but that’s what keeps me up at night the most.
I’m for real.
I understand. But that doesn’t really take much time out of your day, or? Or can you not have fun anymore because of this fact about your life? Is your whole day spent worrying about this?
I think your taking things a bit too literal.
Yes what I said legitimately worries me on a daily basis. Some family members are on citizen statuses that have had people deported in the past few weeks.
I still find some joy in things but it’s hard while this shit is having direct impacts on my life.
Maybe have somebody ride you? Works for some people
Exactly. I go do things that I want to do because I don’t wanna regret it on my deathbed. We are here and then we’re dead. We could die any time. Might as well have a blast while we can
Is this ride going to my drug dealer or my job?
Oh no?? … Oh yes!
It’s great that there is no meaning. Embrace nihilism.
Do you imagine Sysiphos happy?
My main man Camus.
The Myth of Sysiphus is a very difficult read, but I would recommend everyone should read The Stranger by Albert Camus.
Well that’s just absurdism
I made my own meaning.
Assholes ruined it 😢
Embrace psychedelics
Nice marmot.
What’s particularly meaningless is the comments on this article, after OP deletes their post/account in a couple days
If people stopped downvoting memes, they probably wouldn’t have to delete and make new accounts all the time.
Massive amounts of downvotes display as warnings next to the username on certain instances, and this will attract more downvotes. There’s possibly also a posting limit for people with huge amounts of downvotes, and more of a chance of instances hiding these posts.
- The warnings appear only to piefed users, which are a small fraction of Threadisers. And given whoever is doing this isn’t even on piefed, they wouldn’t be seeing it to begin with.
- The comics they’ve been posting have for the most part been highly upvoted, so they would have a positive reputation score, not negative.
- There is no such posting limit. And it doesn’t explain them deleting their own posts which have garnered huge amounts of upvotes and comments.
In case you are unaware, I’m referring to an ongoing person trolling the comics comm, it’s been an active trend for the past month or so.
Edit: This comment thread picked up 3 ppl downvoting me and upvoting the other commentor immediately. Checking the vote ids, of course it’s OP and their sibling day old accounts. Yay for vote manipulation.
Good thing that votes here have no meaning either.
People still can’t help but get attached to them.
If their memes are being downvoted maybe that means they aren’t wanted?
Usually it just means that the topic of the meme/comic/etc is divisive somehow.
I’m pretty sure this poster is the same one who posted these a few weeks ago.
spoiler
They get a lot of ⚠️ next to their usernames and just seem to post comics and delete their account to make a new one and do the same thing every however long.
So, meaning is a pyramid scheme
Double it and give it to the next guy
Think of the hubris it must take to yank a soul out of non existentce into this… Meat, to force life into this… thresher.
I wonder if there was ever a time when we did not consider existence to be a burden
I still don’t but I also live in one of the better countries to live in as a non-millionaire.
There was, when there were so few humans on this earth, your only goal was to survive as a hunter-gatherer.
So they weren’t terrified about what lurked beyond their campfire and could kill them at a moment’s notice? Where an unsuccessful hunt, which definitely happened, could mean you go hungry or eventually starve? Where environmental changes could happen at any point, forcing you to wander hundreds of kilometers in search of new water, food sources?
I really don’t think that our current psyche would be any happier when living in that environment.
It’s pretty simple - lots of resources, happier - no resources, unhappier. We’re living in an era of artificial scarcity. Of course if you currently have to wander the equivalent of hundreds of kilometers in search for new resources (work long hours at shitty jobs) you’re gonna be unhappy. But that doesn’t mean the ancient humans didn’t live in environments where that was the case.
It depends on your situation, and that is pretty much the same. The question is how different the distribution is from earlier to now, that I do not know.
I didn’t say we would’ve been happy, but we certainly wouldn’t have had so much idle time to contemplate our condition (at least not as much) before the development of civilization.
