2018-01-23 at 5:16 AM UTCand then there's the one person who is literally where he is, and wants to literally kill

2018-01-23 at 5:19 AM UTC§m£ÂgØL, are you too simple minded to understand that an environment that meets your basic needs isn’t enough for some people due to additional factors?
Immigration actually seems to have little to no effect on happiness long term. Hedonic adaption is very strong in humans. Just because there are people who may have it worse than you doesn’t mean you don’t have it pretty bad. It’s like telling someone who’s been stabbed not to complain because there are people who have been shotgunned point blank. -

Sure, but by the grace of the gods, we all live in first world countries with access to medical care/food/shelter
And yes, sure, you can complain about some shit like ONLY getting 180 a month in food stamps or not being able to AFFORD health care. But tell that to those hungry niggas on the streets of Mumbai breathing in Ferrari fumes from the side of the road, or those unfortunate niggas in China who want or NEED to get to a good doctor but all they can find is shitty doctors because of MEI BANFA, and among those there's like a 50% chance of it just being a traditional Chinese medicine doctor since they're allowed to advertise as regular doctors.
Those niggas are playing it on hard mode. If you're poor and Autistic in America you've already won the lottery. It's like playing on "I'm too young to die" relatively speaking. -

You get to sit at home all day on the government's dime and you think you have it "pretty bad"? -

I completely get what you're saying m8rade, I'm just saying it's always going to be a matter of relativity. No matter what we've been through here there's gonna be countless people across the globe that in a more overall sense have had it much harder, and also much easier.
I just sort of figured we were meant to answer the question in relation to our own feelings regarding the stressors vs ease of our lives, and I can too some extent empathize with malice in terms of the depression and pain from mental diagnoses and their ability to translate into what one feels as 'constant suffering,' as hyperbolic as that usage might be.

Originally posted by -SpectraL And you think that's a good thing.
Not particularly good or bad, just a fact. I guess all else being equal it's better to not have to worry about sustenance needs than the alternative.
Originally posted by Issue313 Don't you feel like a caged animal sometimes? What are your relationships like?
Sure, all the time. But I don't see what about having had a more difficult life would make one feel less constrained by their society. If you're seen as a "productive member of society" you tend to be left to your own devices so long as they don't interfere with your status as such. On the other hand the lower classes, criminal or the urban poor are forced into highly regulated lifestyles.

Ha, you're exactly the kind of person that's far more likely to have a severe cognitive impairment that keeps them from realizing how low-functioning they are -

2018-01-23 at 7:02 AM UTCAnd it was government welfare that lead to me becoming crippled. I’ve stated before that if I had been forced to work things would never have gotten this bad.
I’m living proof that conservative's fears about the effects of the welfare state are actually true! -
2018-01-23 at 7:30 AM UTCLol, weren't you the one making fun of me not too long ago for denying economic agency?
If you think you're justified in believing that why are you unable to act in your own best interest and avoid taking wellfare? And remember where denying economic agents' ability to generally act in their own best interest leads you. -

It's all about tempering, lad, not conversion. You put the steel in cold, and the steel comes out stronger, after it's been heated to a very high temperature. -
