Elon Musk pumping Dogecoin...

I think we all reach that point... but I also think we eventually try again. Often times, after we forget how disgusted and angry we were about it, we eventually try again. Maybe that cycle does get broken though... I can think of some things/people/situations I would never try again. Maybe after so many disappointments, we can try again, but only in an extremely selective way. I'm not too sure.

A special turd is still just a turd.

[user328]

The things people choose to confront in the world usually have nothing to do with the world, and everything to do with themselves. All of the impending world-shattering crises are pure projection.

Why did I delete my Gab account? I dared suggest, rather sarcastically, that we talk about something other than blacks, Jews, and queer folk. The engagements on my posts immediately dried up, and the racist, white supremacist shit escalated. So yeah, it was no hard decision to quit there.

Why did I delete my Twitter account? I posted my GoFundMe, and my supposed biggest fan immediately unfollowed me. I had noticed right off the bat that this jackass seemed to follow mostly hot chicks. He probably just wanted to fuck me, and was disillusioned when I turned out not to be who he thought I was.

[user328]

They used to have me convinced that I should be concerned about white people becoming a minority, or going extinct, or whatever.

Now, I categorically do not give a fuck what happens to this planet or anyone on it after I'm dead. All of the bickering factions can nuke each other out of existence for all I care.

If I had children, I might feel differently. I'd probably worry about what would become of them after I'm gone.

If I had anything left to look forward to in this life, I might hope things will get better.

But I don't.

[Mister Obvious]

He probably just wanted to fuck me, and was disillusioned when I turned out not to be who he thought I was.

Ooo, yeesh.

What a strange experience for you to have.

It gives perspective though.

Like I said on the other thread, unless someone thinks they can MAYBE get something they want from you...

They're not gonna help. Shit, they're not even gonna be AROUND.

I wish there was something I could say to lift you up, but I am in the process of accepting this is true about humanity, and it takes GETTING THROUGH that and coming out the other side.

I guess I can just say that I understand how you feel and I know the process is whack.

As far as the ins and outs of your struggles, I don't know those details, but I know for sure that you're not alone in that either.

Things are going down in a lot of people's lives right now, from interpersonal relationships, to health and actual physical existential troubles.

You have done and experienced everything you were supposed to in life... none of it was a mistake, and you DID do it right. We all have. That's something I do know for sure. As shit as some situations are, we are moved by an unseen hand of fate.

Why? No idea. Sometimes, I do not know. Sometimes, I do.

[Mister Obvious]

If I had children, I might feel differently. I'd probably worry about what would become of them after I'm gone.

FWIW...

I think you made the right choice never having kids.

If you had them, your concerns about the world/future wouldn't come from a positive place.

You'd feel the same as you do now, only shackled to something insurmountable.

The "love" people have for their kids is based in a sense of burdensome duty, not in love or anything that can actually make you feel better.

You are fortunate not to have any kids.

[Mister Obvious]

My life experience is limited in a lot of kind of strange ways, and I'll be the first to admit that I don't have any true basis to speak on certain things. That never stopped people from having opinions though. It's just my opinion.

[Mister Obvious]

If you've never had kids, then you have hurt a lot fewer people in life than you would have otherwise. Be proud of yourself.

I know my stance on certain shit is very harsh... it always has been. But it comes from a place of strong, genuine inner conviction.

[user328]

As someone who has no kids, I'm the last one who has any business complaining about the decline in "family values" and what-not.

This video and the comments to it got me thinking yesterday. These "red pill" and MGTOW guys who bitch about family values and women's supposed lack of morals are full of contradictions. If you're concerned about family values, why would you spend all your time trying to bang sluts?

[user328]

If you've never had kids, then you have hurt a lot fewer people in life than you would have otherwise. Be proud of yourself.

That's the very reason I didn't have kids. My parents' relationships were such complete shitshows that I knew I didn't stand a chance of being any better at it.

[Mister Obvious]

What's your legacy?

Everybody has one.

Take some time to compile and put everything together in a distributable form.

I don't care if it's a stamp collection...

Make sure to get it together so that people will know who you were.

That's about it...

If people don't even care about what their legacy will be, no matter how SEEMINGLY insignificant or how lacking in cohesion it may be...

Then you are stuck on a certain level of the PROCESS of acceptance.

For example, if someone gets stuck in hatred/bitterness, it's paralyzing. It's hard to focus and it's hard to push through to the next STEP in the PROCESS.

From that place, you're restricted from your legacy and from even caring that much about the message you're gonna leave behind when your days are done and your time has come.

Screw everyone else...

You owe it to yourself to nicely package up whatever you were ABOUT, and let it be discoverable by others who know you, or don't even know you. Now, in the future, whenever.

I know you have a body of work of some type, get it together, make it cohesive, and at least then you will be categorized and indexed properly in the matrix. Our lives are a lesson for ourself and others.

[Mister Obvious]

These "red pill" and MGTOW guys who bitch about family values and women's supposed lack of morals are full of contradictions. If you're concerned about family values, why would you spend all your time trying to bang sluts?

When people are involved in extremism of any kind, they're lost in the weeds. They're stuck. They're in pain, seeing red and blinded by that hurt.

It applies to all humans...

Problem is, they've been doing one another REAL wrong, for a REAL long time.

I personally have resigned from any type of interaction with other people on any level that can compromise my physical sovereignty/safety/integrity.

Those are the things targeted most by people so far as I've found in my life. I do not trust these people and will not expose myself to their poison.

But I recognize that people (including myself) are deeply wounded from childhood and onward.

The best way I can figure to STOP the human cycle of hurting people or being hurt by them is to completely keep them out of my personal life. This is my solution. We all have our solution. It's not going to be the same for everyone.

I'm on no one's side. I am fine to stand alone, live or die.

Nothing is worth being enslaved to a person/ideology/system, JUST to live.

Whosoever shall seek to save his life shall lose it; and whosoever shall lose his life shall preserve it.

[user328]

There is no getting it together. All of my collectibles, family pictures and heirlooms, etc., are in a self-storage locker that will be auctioned off on August 24 if I don't raise the back rent and late fees by then. They won't accept a partial payment, only the full amount. The only thing I looked forward to in life was getting those things back, and they're about to be gone forever. That's my legacy. Absolutely nothing.

[user328]

Anyway, sorry to hijack the thread with my personal bullshit. I really ought to just turn this computer off and put it in the closet.

[Mister Obvious]

I've known people who found themselves in that EXACT circumstance, but usually, it wasn't a matter of "their stuff" even being in circulation anymore. Sometimes, peoples' stuff gets DESTROYED with zero possibility of anyone else ever enjoying it again.

I've lost mostly all of my belongings more than once, but I'm miraculously left with about a medium sized box of only the most sentimental objects.

After pretty devastating losses, I came to terms with eventually actually losing EVERYTHING someday, including my small box of the things that date back the farthest in my life.

It HURTS to lose those items because they're so intrinsically tied to your identity, your past, what helps trigger memories of who you are/where you came from.

But sometimes life burns off every outer layer and leaves you with JUST what you can carry on your person... only what's WITHIN the core of your being. It's extreme, but I bet it's pretty common.

I've been about one rung away from that level. So when you get as close as you and I have come to complete sanitation of our lives, we realize that it's time to EXPLAIN ourselves.

You can do this with a notebook/pencil, or you can do it digitally. You can speak it into a recorder. Whatever method, there are lots.

Sometimes all you have left is COMMUNICATION in order to explain what your life has been. Sometimes all you have is RECONSTRUCTION from MEMORY.

If you can get over the sting of the hurt... take the rest of your time to EXPLAIN, describe, and relate your life and experiences.

Not everyone has a desire to do that. But if you do, the good news is that you need very little to actually do it. You don't need whatever was in that box of mementos.

My advice to people is do it as soon as possible, while you can still remember, and while you are physically capable of recording that information.

If you have no desire to do this, then you MUST come to peace and terms with your life and UNDERSTAND your whole life, for yourself.

If you don't even do THAT...

You'll do it when/while you die. I don't recommend putting it off to that point because it can make you linger in limbo for longer than you would have had to if you'd just took the time for introspection and sorting all the information WHILE you were alive. SHARING gives bonus points.

I guess that's all...

That's all of my 'sermon', but I say it because I care.

[Mister Obvious]

Whether you've got a box and/or a bag...



Whether you've got only what's left in your core...

You are STILL capable of cataloguing your life, explaining yourself, and sharing that info if you choose to, or just knowing that you did your due diligence unto yourself.

[Mister Obvious]

I've lost mostly all of my belongings more than once, but I'm miraculously left with about a medium sized box of only the most sentimental objects.

After pretty devastating losses, I came to terms with eventually actually losing EVERYTHING someday, including my small box of the things that date back the farthest in my life.

And let's take a look at what some of those objects are...

I have a watch my dad gave me. A charm bracelet.

I have clock that was given to me by an elderly couple who I briefly met and conversed with over a summer vacation.

There are ID cards. There's a pair of vintage sunglasses.

A small photo album, one framed picture. A high school diploma. One book. Random letters/cards from loved ones.

I have a couple of external hard drives.

That's all.

If I had to grab anything, I'd go for the hard drives and leave the rest.

*shrug*

I have a 'lite' copy of my hard drive/archive that can be carried on my person.

When you whittle it all away...

Those things don't define whether or not you're able to remember your life and share it.

Your life, what it meant, and who you were is stored in your own mind, and it'll die with you if you don't express it.

You can even lose it while you're still alive if you get amnesia or become a vegetable or something.

So what if no one cares about your life and what it meant? So what if no one ever sees?

You owe it to yourself to get it OUT, because after you do, the load will be even lighter than what is left in your core.

[Mister Obvious]

Say reincarnation was real and you came back as another person...

What if you found your 'info packet' from this prior life you lived?

Would you (the former person) care that your new body has found it in your new life??

Would you want your new person to find the remnants of your old self?

If you did want that to happen, what would you want that message to be??

What would you want THIS life to summarize about who you were, and what you experienced?

What form can you put your story into that would be USEFUL somehow to you in the next life, if you found it but didn't know that former identity was actually YOU?

How could you boil all your lessons down in a way that was helpful to your next self, who finds that information and feels drawn to it for "some reason"??

Sci-fi hour is over, I swear, I'm done. But I'm just saying.

[Mister Obvious]

And remember...

In heaven, we're not old.

If our disembodied form is ever seen in an elderly state, that person is still in limbo because they didn't come to terms with shit quick enough.

Don't be that kinda spirit.

Attach your youthful form to your info packet.

Get a photo and put it in there.

Think about historical figures and how few pictures of them there really were. Unless they came to prominence late in life, usually the only photos of them are when they were younger.

No, it's not a totally necessary component, you don't have to...

But it'll be more potent and work faster if you do.

[Mister Obvious]

Your youthful form was who you were before the world took a massive shit on you, before people disrespected you in every way imaginable, before the stress and strain of life took a toll on your vessel and weighed you down with pain, sadness, disappointment...

Age and decay are the culmination of all the horrible experiences we've had.

The Picture of Dorian Gray is about this exact topic.

He stayed youthful in his body while the painting took on all wear of the evil, wicked, hedonistic deeds that were perpetrated by or against him.

You don't need to show people what your form became, you can show them what it was before you experienced all the hurt and pain. The info packet itself can tell all the nitty gritty, your image doesn't need to.

Which version of Winston Churchill displayed his original blueprint, what he started out as, BEFORE the struggles of life changed how he appeared on the outside?

https://imgur.com/a/yRkzVqG

Show them who you were, but save the pain and suffering for the creative side of your info packet.

This is why children are scared of elderly people... they can see the suffering that culminated in their lives.

But you can't leave a vague, open ended version of who might have been.

You can't leave people to guess. It's inefficient, and it's too hard to crack. Make it easy for them.
