Bannable offense IMO.

But why? And is this reply also written by an LLM?

Was this “written” by ChatGPT?

Solomon and his “Ecclesiastes” (I don’t think the Qur’an counts if you truly believe it to be divinely inspired/dictated, and I also read Solomon first so…). If you haven’t read it, go do so. Before your favourite Western existentialist, before Nietzsche and copycats, there was Solomon.

Edit: and what Solomon posited/understood was that life is ultimately meaningless, so find satisfaction in your toil, eat, drink and be merry and enjoy your meaningless life with your spouse. But before everything and, after all has been said: fear God and keep his commandments, for this is your whole duty (Ecclesiastes assumes you know about/is for those who believe in Abrahamic/Mosaic monotheism). Not too revolutionary today, maybe (many most focus on the “eat and drink” part, I guess, lol), but this is not from today and will be relevant forever. I mean, some of you probably quote Ecclesiastes often (nothing new under the sun, the fly in the ointment, there’s a time for everything, with much wisdom comes much sorrow, chasing after wind, and many more!) and don’t even know it. 😁

Are you sure you haven’t just defaulted into this position because you’ve lost hope?

Well said. 🙏

That reply is pure cope. I mean, sure, eventually everything will “crumble down”, entropy is a thing after all, but that doesn’t mean it’s better to have a sad and lonely life.

Where in France are you? 👋

Sisqo’s “Thong Song” is more or less two decades old so I guess you’re old!

❤️😁

Someone didn’t go to PC cafés with 20+ friends to play Dota and CS after school and yell profanities left, right and center and it shows! And don’t worry, they’re also insulting each other, lol.

But honestly, if you can’t handle people getting spicy and being overtaken by their emotions sometimes, just mute them. I did that with LoL (and I also muted myself not to be a troublemaker cause I used to get verbally abusive…) back when I played.

Well, I’m jealous of you too, then! 😅

Was there really a need for that? It’s hardly an insult (no adjectives involved). I’d rather chat in a lemmy and get told to ingest cock here and there than to forbid people from passionately voicing their disapproval…

Their enjoyment of the medium brings me joy, idc about their ability. It’s not like it’s immoral to be bad at Dota, and I don’t have money on them getting gud either. 🤷

And I like the rain. 😁

Just let society decay without doing and saying anything. “We don’t judge”, “everyone’s free to do whatever they want!”, right? That’s the Western way.

IIRC it starts at 4 so you definitely make the cut. I’m jelly! 🤷😅

5, 7 and 9 so I can start a revolution. I’ve made my peace with the fact that most people follow, live and die for people, not ideals and values (only the leaders do, and when they don’t it all collapses), might as well play my role with my new superpowers, lol.

Mmm.

• Drank a sip of sewer water as a dare as a kid, contracted some form of stomach issue and ended up having uncontrollable diarrhea for about 3 days. This required a hospital stay and diapers…
• Drank milk straight out of the udder (have a pic to prove it too). I don’t find it that disgusting per se but I guess I had to mention it still.
• Didn’t shower for two weeks of arduous physical work because I was in a tiny town in the middle of nowhere with no running water nor hot water. You just had to bathe in the river basically.

I think calling it “survival reflexes” alters the truth of the matter. After all, other people live without being paranoid/aggressive/excessively fearful just fine. Better, actually. And this is coming from someone that used to consider some of my more unsavoury behaviour as “survival reflexes”…
