Do attractive people depress you?

This is probably going to make me sound like a really scummy horrible person but sometimes thinking about those people cheers me up a bit.

Same. I've got literally nothing going for me, not attractive, not intelligent or accomplished, just some ugly worthless piece of crap. There's very few people I can compare myself to and not feel worthless next to, even a lot of the guys here on WP like Sly and Marknis are far better people than me in every way, yet they're far from content.

Then tell them. You might cheer them up a bit.

no, it means they will become normal and no longer exceptional. they will lose their exalted place in the grand scheme of things.

I went through the Mojave desert once. If the Australian outback/desert is like the Mohave, it's far from "featureless."

The "outback" looks like it could have some nice things in it. Where do the crocs live? In a river, most likely. Around a river frequently are nice things.

In the tropics.

I would LOVE to take an extended vacation in the southern parts of AUZ, as well as the northern parts in the colder times of year.

You should probably visit the southern parts of Auz in the colder parts of the year as well since even the southern parts can frequently get over 100 degrees.

I live in the southern part of Australia. Even though Adelaide is further from the equator than Darwin, it's closer to the equator then Las Vegas and I'm sure Las Vegas gets plenty hot.

I've seen Melbourne get pretty darn cool even in January/February. I've seen lows of about 12-13 Celsius or so.

Melbourne heat waves can get nearly as hot as Adelaide heatwaves. The difference is that Melbourne is one of those places that can have four seasons in one day.

My impression is that the 100-degree days are uncommon, and the heatwaves don't last more than a couple of days (at least in the areas nearer the sea).

But they certainly are doozies......45 Celsius doesn't seem to be uncommon, even in Melbourne. We've only been over 40 Celsius a couple of times in New York. In my lifetime, it hasn'tonce risen to 40 Celsius.

I would guess more inland areas stay hot longer.

New York heat waves would be worse because you have more humidity.

That's true....and they usually last longer.

And it rarely gets truly cool in summer, unlike Melbourne. To have a low below 15 Celsius throughout July and August is quite anomalous.

i'm glad I live in a relatively cool place.

It's days like this when I think the reason why I can't see the purpose of life is because it's too obvious.

can you tell me then, what is the "obvious" purpose of life in your view?
