It would be horrible if people that were completely healthy died. So as we get older we start to naturally fall apart physically making death an acceptable alternative to a life without any quality

LOL. Not bald but my hair is black and her’s is blonde. But a few times a stray blonde hair was found and of course it was mine.

Thanks for your concern. When you get the time you’re welcome to instruct me in detail as to how I should think. For anyone it is a heavy burden to have the right answers for everyone and then do your best to correct them so they comply with your opinions.

LOL. Can’t tell you how many times I sat there shaking my head as yet again I am blamed for something that I explicitly said I don’t care about. And you decide because I have no opinion.

This is not a condemnation of you, but honestly I’m glad my life isn’t so empty that I would ever go through someone’s post/comment history. Lemmy is just another social media site for people to waste their time. I take anything anyone posts on Lemmy as seriously as I take politics which is zero.

The verbiage you need is … “I’m telling you right now that I don’t care. Whatever choice you make is fine with me. Can we agree that this choice is yours and if it fucks up I hold no blame. I will not blame you for your choice because as I said I don’t care.” This of course applies to both men and women.

All pornography is fake fantasy. I’m always surprised when anyone takes it as anymore than a joke.

Well rounded people hold no allegiance to any one political party. There is no bigger waste of time than the 2 party system in the USA. Paraphrasing something I posted the other day - politicians are only concerned with gaining power and then holding onto it. They lie to you to get you to vote for them. They couldn’t care less about you. And anyone thinking that there is a real difference between the 2 parties just hasn’t been around long enough to realize how naive thinking that is. The choice for all of us is to put in the effort on your own so you can lead a good life, or be a victim thinking a political party is going to improve your life.

Politics will never be real unless it is no longer driven solely by money and power. Imagine an election with 10 totally unaffiliated candidates. There would be no “primaries” because there would be no political parties. None of the candidates would be beholding to anyone since political contributions would be outlawed. That’s democracy.

I’ve been married a long time. The secret is that I never make any decisions. But even with that half the time I still get blamed when something fucks up

Our government now decides how we all should live? Screw them

It must be a burden to have all the right answers for everyone. What insight it must take to be able to tell a Black Male what they should think. I feel honored that you would take the time to correct me. As a Black Male how I could I possibly know how non black people have determined how I should think and “feel”.

Systematic and economic oppression are the forever excuses for those that embrace being victims. There is a big world out there of non White people who are successful because their parents told them not to believe the bullshit of forever racism.

Actually a Black Male who has never received one dime as a government hand out. Parents taught me not to be jealous of others and just get educated. I did. Since my college degrees were in fields that employers valued I didn’t find it hard to get a job. I was hired for my skills not the tint of my skin. I’ve found that people who like to be victims believe what politicians actually can turn them from losers into winners. People can cry all they want about how awful life is but each individual can achieve a productive successful life if realize all they have to do is tune out all the bullshit and apply themselves. I realize that most people don’t want to hear stuff like this because getting educated is hard work. Being a victim is easy. And interestingly no change of government at either the federal or state level has ever had a significant plus or minus effect on my life. But those who are victims always seem sure that a change in political control is going to be a horror show.

Yes to some extent. But I have found reddit to be all about the hive mind. You read some of the stuff over there that you know for sure is bullshit. But if you dare call it out, then the hive comes to attack you for daring to point out their bullshit

Exactly. This is a big deal in Florida. Everything possible is done to protect them. They are gentle giants

Depending on how you die the process can be horrible. I guess dying instantly from some kind of trauma is the easiest way to go. I have to believe the “unknown” is irrelevant because our consciousness no longer exists. Whatever atoms made us a human are simply reabsorbed into the universe. Neil deGrasse Tyson the astrophysicist has some great insights into this. If you check him out on youtube you find his speculation about god and human death

reddit will rot your brain

Still smoking while drinking but now only drink 2 days a week and then completely dry the other 5 days

Love the death analogy. Don’t we all have periods of just wanting to sleep to escape reality, but we fear non existence through death

sounds like good exercise

Over the years having supported one party or the other I can tell you that it’s all about people wanting power over others and then ensuring that they keep it. Their reality is totally different than the reality we, the 99%, live in that they can no longer even relate to us. There is no chance that they would actually understand the issues that affect regular people and then offer solutions that would actually solve those issues. Best advice is to simply try to enjoy life. Have you ever been a big fan of a sports team? They lose and you get depressed? Politics is no different. The players of the team that you admire couldn’t care less about you and neither do politicians of either party. They only tell you what they think that you want to hear so you will vote for them and keep them in power

I browse all and usually find groups that I had no idea even existed
