Man, remember when Lemmy’s culture wasn’t a mirror image of Reddit? Those were the days. I miss that.

Have you considered that God may not be universally benevolent? Or God may be building you into a stronger person? Or maybe you’re being punished? Maybe God isn’t even thinking of you. Maybe God creates the circumstances but doesn’t choose to control the outcomes.

I don’t know, man. I don’t think God chooses to fuck your life up. I don’t think he’s responsible for unfucking it either. I think hatred for God is a dysfunctional coping mechanism to shift blame away from your own actions.

I’ll just flat out say this is horrible advice. Negative self talk worsens depression and in turn worsens your productivity.

Nono it’s Kafka

The book is called “The complete stories” and it’s all his fiction other than his novels. My buddy lent it to me, I’ll probably pick up my own copy when he wants it back if that says anything. The Burrow was a story from the perspective of what seems to be a mole, his meticulous process of planning and constructing his burrow, and his endless anxieties related to defending it. I loved it.

Most recent image I took. Was reading The Burrow by Kafka and realized my train stop was coming up and I didn’t have my bookmark.

I can’t tell if this is a joke

Honestly I have no idea, it was about a decade ago or more. I thought everyone went under for it until my most recent girlfriend told me that she got hers out with local anaesthetic.

It might help if Democrats started doing things

When I woke up from having my wisdom teeth out, I had crazy and terrifying hallucinations all the way home. While we were parked waiting for something, I saw someone run up, press their face against my window, and scream my name while slamming their fists on the window. I closed my eyes and curled up into a ball, and I was instantly in some sort of cave system underground that was rapidly collapsing and burying me alive. I don’t remember much else but my mom said I was freaking out the whole way home.

I’m terrified of anesthesia now and I have yet to find any explanation for what happened to me.

My opinion is that I hate the government so fucking much it’s unreal. I wish I was Satan so I could devise a new circle of Hell for backers of mass surveillance and personally oversee their eternal torment.

OK how about this actually… All the money came from deleting the existing billionaires from reality.

Alternate premise would be “What if everyone in the world would give you anything or do any service for you for free, feel good about it, and be enriched by it in whatever way needed for it not to be exploitative”

You’re ruining the game!!

The premise is like… magic or something, dude. The premise is not that you are a philosophical zombie and gain billions of dollars through actual capitalism only to one day suddenly gain sentience.

Completely squandering the endless possibilities of being the first billionaire with a soul

I’d probably put an entire university worth of professors on payroll, along with an army of neurodivergence specialists to make it so I could actually make use of them. If I had functionally infinite money I could become so fucking gigabrain. The saving the world stuff should go without saying since we are all ensouled beings unlike the ghoulish husks who actually have billions of dollars.

Good for you man super virtuous and all but that’s not the premise

Handy at times but worse value overall compared to a regular UPS

No, it’s completely right. At the time of writing, it did literally mean all able men of fighting age. This was determined by the supreme court in 2008. That’s not to say there weren’t specific militia organizations, but it’s not what the amendment is specifically referring to.

It’s worth noting that at the time of writing, the words “well-regulated militia” referred to all fighting age men of sound mind. It wasn’t a thing to join or train for.
