i do not know what i want the "meaning" of "life" to be.

if you claim that you want the meaning of your life to be making yourself and others "happy", that's kind of vague.

who are the "others", and how are you making them "happy"?

for example, mister redelings had the nerve to tell me "the meaning of life is helping people!". be more specific. Mussolini was "helping" the Gestapo. everything helps someone. everything hurts someone.

everything makes someone happy. everything makes someone sad.

for example, if mister redelings were to have exterminated me, that would have made homophobic precious lil "people" , "happy". there are a lot of them. and just one of me.


:mrgreen: it would then have been :roll: for the greater good :roll: . the needs of many outweigh the needs of one.

:D

plenty of precious lil "people" act so morally innocent and self important. like they have never done anything wrong before and "the meaning of life is helping people!".

everything is "helping", neither, or "hurting". not all "helping" deserves a Purple Heart. not all "hurting" is a violation of Mandated Reporter.

the way some precious lil "people" make a big production. "is helping people important to you?" the previous counsselor asked me.

what the flying f**k?

the insurance paid her 75 bucks an hour to sit around flapping her trap at me. who was "helping" whom?

likewise, there are only five (or however many) emotions. "happy" is just one. happy is not morally superior to any other emotion.


i think most folks would know what i mean. you might find it satisfying and useful to pick some meaning for yourself.

hopefully, you and your therapist are helping each other. help needn't be perfect. looking for win-win situations is what healthy humans do.

The insurance stopped paying for counseling, in October. End of two years. The counselor told me that I could apply for more, but not guaranteed to get more. However even if I get more, it is just one year, one hour every other week, talk therapy, age 35 and counting.

Counseling could help, remain the same, or hurt. And if it "helps", what cheaper methods also "help".

Someone told the librarian that his "service dogs" was "emotional support".

A counselor is also "emotional support".

:roll:


Your definition of "healthy humans" is not necessarily anyone else's definition.

Sometimes there is no win win situation, and you have to prioritize.

:skull:

Everything seems so meaningless.

No job , no job skills. Only one friend, and she could dump me at any point. Just like almost everyone else. A car could run over her.

Whatever "meaning" cannot come from work or friends.

:idea: :D :twisted:


Thus far today, went under.

Ate less than usual

Costs (both time and money), intrusive questioning, and... other reasons are what make me hesitate to take the first step...

Too much running around. My schedule is too busy, and not enough breaks.

Hoping to have my own PC or device which will allow me internet access without having to use either my smartphone or library workstation(where I'm at now to to do things)..

:roll: Heh. One day I will understand why evidence is so important to a very reliabl form of empiricism.

Being a student is work. Being a student is labour. The factor of pay aside.

Interacting with others online is communication. Interacting with others online is socializing. The factor of whether it would have the same weight 'while going through the movements' as in the variable discomfort of 'meatspace' and hence is valid, aside.

I know nobody else cares about this but I really don't get why sport scene doesn't cover both matches. Reading a match is almost like it isn't on. It's bad enough only having the radio.
I'm in England btw and even if I wasn't I'm not the sort of person to have an actual radio.

An apparent ~32% of the nutritional content in 'panettone' is fat. :| Is the presence butters and chemically related ingredients really so necessary for that appealing chewy texture which I could imagine in typical loafs ?.

The sort of thing I wish was nutritious. I think of the self-denial where we tell ourselves that the ubiquitous french fires were nutritious. I have yet to be clear as to whether potato wedges are any better.

Bullying=proto-kyriarchics.

Write a phone app to tell you where the parking spots are, in real time.

Like how the bus stop sign says when the bus is scheduled to come, in real time. Not just according to the official timetable

Write an app, to tell blind people when electric cars are coming

Write a law that requires electrocution receptors on dog collars, installed by the pet store. That way, every time an owner takes a dog off leash, the owner gets an electric shock


:mrgreen:

Write an app to tell you where the unoccupied toilets are. Put a chip on the bathroom door, so the sensor reads that the door is closed


:mrgreen:


"Life" is going nowhere. Health and $$ will only get much worse sooner or later.

Cravings gone haywire

Nothing to do all day long

Invent, patent, discover

Internet addiction

It gets on my nerves how precious lil "people" act like the only way to do something, is the most high tech method

Like the first two community college accounting classes' homework could only be done, with a computer, $100 software. In other words, you could not do the homework without a desktop or laptop

:mrgreen:

On the other hand maybe precious lil "people" are so addicted to the electronics, that they are too busy to be homophobic

The aikido instructor told me that slouching makes me an easier target of mugging

Yes, but I do not have a lot of money

Someone wastes tell. Calories and thirty seconds to successfully mug me and take a couple bucks. Not even enough for a loaf of bread

But the aikido instructor is a structural engineer with thick glasses.


If someone mugs him, they get a lot of money


:mrgreen:

._. D---n ...filial ingratitude is strong in this one. Reminds me of 'I will love you forever' by Robert Munsch...5:20

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iYaRZ4TNfus

I have now seen the entire 7:43 animated short 'Bao'
___

I remember reading once on a Cracked photoplasty mention of how someone thinks that actors acting for so long have forgotten how it actually feels like to feel certain emotions..Tom Cruise's association with Scientology comes up to my mind as an example of how it can affect 'religiosity' and not only the risk of substance abuse among celebrities.

:| I wonder how when it comes to elections local or national level if celebrities will actually line up with non-famous ppl and risk the possible crowd?.

Kinda dull for someone as cerebral as I tend to be but that's the point. And I'm sure people who are used to adulting know this but, I guess blame on my autism that I don't. And the fact I had a dishwasher for the first 12 years of my adult life.

When you haven't got a dishwasher, the idea is supposed to be that you wash up immediately after eating. I had been leaving my stuff in the sink 'til I needed it again then wiping off the visible dirt. Don't do that. I did that and gunk piled up in the sink and it made me feel sick with how it stank.

I need to stop relying on other people to clean up my messes and realise that this is just part of growing up, actually getting stuff done myself.

I find this stuff tough because I want to exclusively do intellectual and imaginative stuff but you can't rely only on that. Practical stuff needs doing.

Also, I really need to quit asking my dad for advice. I said 'I think washing up is just busy work like making beds' and he agreed. I bet the bedsit he's lived in for six years stinks to high heaven.

I'm glad I have a new device where I can look up any tennis match I want to see. I would never see much of Denis Istomin without it.
