Those both sound fascinating.
How did the kid blow his legs off and how was it confirmed?

No idea. I'm sure you remember he had serious problems with alcoholism. Really worry about what may have happened to him.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

The quran says whatever you want it to say. That's the magic of fiction; I've seen niggas interpret Ed Edd and Eddy as being set in purgatory with each kid representing a different sin or some shit.

Originally posted by hydromorphone Just because you're issues or lack of enjoyment of life aren't as bad as others doesn't mean it's not valid or something you should feel bad about speaking the truth on. I hate when people do the "well, dude, you're life could be worse! Look at the shit *insert name or" I am" here* going through or have dealt with! It's far worse than your petty shit!" now, not to say there aren't just spoiled, shitty, dumbfuck assholes in this world who always have to be the victim and crave pity from others, but shit, besides that… People have problems and we shouldn't be judging who's shit is the worst. We should be able to openly discuss each other's problems, and work together to help one another out the best we can to handle them… Sometimes it's as simple as being an ear to hear someone vent their frustrations.
So, what's up, aldra?
I know, right? What people don't realize is that you're essentially being told two things.
1.) Things could be or get worse.
That doesn't make me happy. I really don't see how anyone could derive joy from this.
2.) There are people out there that are suffering more than you.
Once again, nothing about this makes me happy and it doesn't appear to be a psychologically healthy thing to derive contentment from.
I do believe it's part of human nature, sexual competition leading to competition for status, that leads to a natural inclination to compare your life to others and that does seem to lead to a strong effect on mental wellbeing/quality of life. But, let's assume there was an objective happiness/quality of life scale from -10 to 10. If you're at -5 and someone is at -10, them being at that level changes nothing about your own suffering. Most people don't understand what truly drives human beings, and life in general, at its core and what we derive lasting happiness from.
Originally posted by Discount Whore I am happy. I don't have to worry about money, or being homeless, or having a wife or kids that don't love me. Sometimes I get anxiety over keeping afloat but I've got a constant reminder that things are good. Mostly my unhappiness comes from work. I hate the people I work with, even though I find the work interesting. They all think I'm a straight edge stickler because I only talk about work, and I'm friendly enough to where they don't know I don't like any of them.
Hopefully when my wife finishes school I will be able to downgrade to a job I enjoy more. We need the income for now though. But I can deal with it. It's worth it.
What do you do for a living, what's your wife going to school for/career plans, and what would be your ideal job to downgrade to? Just taking an interest in your life. Happiness with life does not seem to be the standard here.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

2017-05-22 at 3:46 AM UTC in (Enter) Forgetting to Use Birth Control: Unwanted Pregnancies Support...Well, at least you admit it, Hydro. We all have terrifying innate aspects of human nature, which we never chose, that we should be aware of and strive to overcome.
That's why I definitely want a vasectomy. I want zero chances of creating life, especially with my horrible genes and what an awful father I'd make.

Originally posted by aldra I'm doing alright; I'd be an asshole to complain
so I guess I'm an asshole
Hedonic treadmill.
The things that most people assume will bring them happiness in life can actually contribute very little, if anything, in the long-term. None of us chose to be born and enslaved (not literally) by our biology, I think we have a right to complain, to air our grievances as to the human condition.
Having a decent job and material conditions really aren't that important. For example, the happiness of immigrants, from third world countries to the US, actually doesn't seem to increase much at all long-term.
If you think of it from an evolutionary standpoint, some aspects of human life, life in general, are just horrifying.
Of course, it really is best not to dwell on it and there are ways to attain something lasting, some sense of peace. The Buddha had a point when he focused on techniques to ease human suffering, rather than metaphysical issues that are ultimately non-conductive to this. I wouldn't say human beings are doomed to remain in this state.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

Originally posted by Lanny It's 'aight, been kinda down for the last year although not for any real reason. My life's quite comfortable but that kinda makes me feel stagnant, bored. It's happened before, I know what it takes to get out of a slump, it just takes a lot of work and empty hedonism is much easier.
What's gotten you out of the slump?
There's actually interesting research that the highly intelligent are actually more likely to suffer from certain disorders, mainly generalized anxiety disorder (GAD) and bipolar. The odds ration actually seems to be quite stark.
For the latter, full blown bipolar isn't necessarily the standard, the severity is a spectrum, like autism and anxiety, other things. It does seem that many highly successful and productive period have had regular bouts of mania and depression, or, in terms of other aspects, bursts of productivity and creativity followed by troughs of stagnation.
Things can honestly just hit you out nowhere. There really is a strong biological basis for many people, especially if certain things seem to have been consistent throughout your life, particularly after puberty (not having anything to do with women/sexual relations, seems to have to do with neurological development), with no apparent environmental cause.
Unfortunately there are a lot of reasons to feel down as a human being and no guarantee of lasting gains in happiness (hedonic treadmill). Although, this book is actually quite good and sound, supported by scientific evidence and reasoning: https://www.amazon.com/Happiness-Guide-Developing-Lifes-Important/dp/0316167258
Mainly getting your brain to shut the fuck up and stop dwelling on negative and metaphysical issues whose resolution won't bring about happiness anyway, just being in the moment, forging strong social relations, feeling like a part of something larger than yourself, like you're actually seriously contributing to something you're passionate about, that you care about and is important to you.The following users say it would be alright if the author of this post didn't die in a fire! -

You're literally a fucking alcoholic and have been dependent/addicted to multiple drugs! Not as if it's uncommon on this site.
No, you wouldn't wreck me, and while it is an old pic I actually haven't lost much mass and can regain my peak condition pretty quickly. You want to bet on who would manage to get in better shape for a fight in a few months?
