None of our accomplishments. The great things we do as humans.

World trade center. Library in Alexandra. etc.

I'm asking why people fight to live longer, and you think I'm concerned about the finiteness of life? No. I didn't say it would have meaning if we didn't die. My point is, what does life mean? Why want to live forever?

You don't even begin to address the question.

I grew up doing it, but my kids in elementary and middle school don't. It's changed.

Good, different perspective. I like it

My understanding of what you said:

I may not leave a legacy, but I WILL leave a mark.

Things exist outside of our observation, but they aren't interpreted until we see them.

Yeah, interesting, isn't it?

But, that also means that you don't have to live up to anyone else's idea of what your life should be. You can make your own path, your own meaning, and fuck the people in funny hats who try to tell you otherwise. You are you and no one else gets to define what that is.

Oh but you do. Unless you want the men in funny hats to take you off and put you in a funny jacket in a padded room, or place you in a room with bars instead of walls.

EVERYONE else's idea of what your life should be is the standard, and if you deviate more than the standard deviation you will suffer the consequence of eeking out existence with very few choices.

Why are only part of the named countries colored?

Lol, I hesitated to post, but why not? So my car's a mess. Who cares?

 

I'm not depressed (at the moment, well maybe a little), just feeling philosophical.

Edit: the idea of this came to me because I was pondering why people fight so hard to beat diseases and live a few more years. What are they planning to do? Why exert effort just to be here longer when you don't have a reason?

Just why?

They get confused, he provides direction, they happy again

 
 

They aren't our best, folks

 

The truth is out there

Cookie hell (lemmy.dbzer0.com)
 

I can't believe I had to deal with this! I just opened an article in Firefox on my Android, and the damn site bombarded me with a staggering 912 cookies! 912! And of course, I was forced to accept whatever they call "essential" cookies, or suffer through the nightmare of toggling each one off individually. But here’s the worst part—they weren't even organized! No, they were scattered everywhere, forcing me to scroll endlessly through this mountain of cookies just to find the few I actually wanted to disable. It’s infuriating! How can anyone tolerate this level of intrusive, irresponsible design? This is an outright invasion of privacy, and it’s sickening!

PS. Apparently I'm not usually angry enough so I used https://goblin.tools/Formalizer to make it more ranty. Completely my experience, angrified.

 

Let me tell ya folks, THIS news has the Trumpers unhappy with their President
