jackiemarie90 Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 Ya'all just pop in waiting for an "excuse" for something interesting to happen, or missing that one poster you like, but then they lurking too, waiting for you. Everyone here is so damn cynical, and you just spread it further around. I see some people trying to shitpost their way to some happiness and people just want to shut that down to as if it makes them feel better about their own shitty lives. Idk, I guess it's easier to live a cynical life because then you don't have to put in the extra work. I don't think some people understand, that not some people can just accept the terms of their life, some have suicidal thoughts, and cynicism is the final excuse to just end it. Then I know some jerks willing to claim darwinism and all that, but it's just isolating people, nothing to do with the survival of the "fittest". But feel like it's no wonder people don't post as often. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

katt_goddess Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I don't post a lot because I'm usually doing something else at the same time I'm on here. Like playing 'Bubble Witch 3' Or fighting with my computer chair that I swear is possessed by the spirit of slo-mo depression. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Believe it or not, I would consider you an habitual poster, based on consistently. I haven't like posted in months until recently, so I guess I'm referring to lurkers and hiders like me who make excuses for themselves. There are a ton of lurkers.

TrigunBebop Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 My shitposts are all just me trying to make people laugh at my dumb balloon jokes.

Ginguy Posted February 15, 2018 Share Posted February 15, 2018 I think you are mostly right. I don't post nearly as much because I'm often busy doing other things. I'll lurk a bit, decide that the level of general awful is just too high to put up with, and then not bother. I also have noticed that I'm far more apt to just put stupid idiots on the list (ignore list) and leave it at that. No reason not to honestly, if they just contribute vitriol I am not interested in that. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can see deleting one or two posters who don't really contribute coherent posts so that makes sense, I also understand if people really busy too, I know I was for the last year. Idk, I just think people can misconstrue threads as vapid instead of considering people might be trying to spread some positivity. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gah I forgot to mention that living in Cali is also great cause we got a lot weed, and it does help me calm down.

Did you read that thread about knowing a bunch about nothing? I think I justified my behavior fairly well in there. If you don't like philosophy... oh boy. I'm an atheist and also a strict fatalist, I also believe heavily in absurdism. [...] [If everything is pointless, there's nothing to worry about.] Not only nothing to worry about, a profound sense of freedom in your noninvolvement with the state of reality as it is. Sisyphus pushing the boulder will never know a joy as great as pushing the boulder. [...] [The catch 22 about that is that your perception of your own non-involvement with the state of reality is part of the tiny slice of reality that is you. You're involved no matter what you do, or don't. It's a trap!] Well it's a given that "you're" going to react to "the environment" you find yourself in; up to and including "conscious thought," I just argue that the concepts of yourself, your thoughts, and the environment are all comprised of the same exact chemical reaction as the rest of objective three-dimenional/quasi-four-dimensional existence: thereby rendering any true distinction between these things an entirely pointless endeavor. We are the world. [...] We are masses of atoms interacting with proximal masses of atoms. The concepts of self, free will, and perspective are beautiful illusions; much like the color of paint is determined by its chemical makeup, so to is the experience of life entirely comprised of its molecular makeup. Every part of the thing we call us in the place we call here has previously been somewhere and something else, and will continue to be other things in the future.The thing we call reality is simply an enormous chemical reaction comprised of all existence. Every part of it is absolutely predetermined; the chemicals within the thing we call us can only react with the chemicals in the thing we call the environment in a specific manner in accordance with the observable laws of physics and chemistry. This is supported by the evidence that we only have access to a singular timeline- you will never be able to do something you did not do. If you could see the fourth dimension, you would observe a human life as the sum of all positions in three dimensional space the individual has existed in, all congealed into a long singular mass. Actually it's weirder than that; since we're spinning around on a planet that is spinning around the sun that is spinning around the galactic center, which is... well, essentially, the life of a human looks like... Longish noodles that wrap in and around the surrounding mass of other stuff that's also wrapping in and around stuff... The fourth dimension gets pretty weird but the fifth dimension is pretty much just the quantum foam. Actually that's all it is, forever. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

SwimModSponges Posted February 16, 2018 Share Posted February 16, 2018 Fatalism is the belief in fate; it's nothing dramatic, it simply describes the belief in predeterminism, as @Adminderaptorpat pointed out semi-correctly Mind you I don't believe there is a conscious entity "deciding" my fate; I believe that the fact that we exist in a world where there is only a singular timeline means that whatever happens is exactly what happened. Thought experiment- raise your finger. Which finger did you raise? Now instead of choosing to raise that finger, go back and raise a different one. Pretty hard to do, isn't it? So we can't change the past, but we know that. Surely we can change the future. Ok, in three seconds, raise the finger you won't raise. How'd that one work out for you?

Whereas predeterminism generally is the concept that everything is predetermined (either by due to a supreme being or due to a rube goldberg machine of chemical reactions triggered by the big bang), fatalism is more Shakespearean or like Oedipus.
