  • Name a game game: "...and then it ends with you fighting A GOD."

  • Most Final Fantasy games and JRPGs in general.

    I don't have a purpose in life and feel like a robot. This cannot be good for my mental health, but I don't know how or what to change. How do I change?

    Jump

  • Nobody has a purpose in life. Belief that life has a purpose is a creationist delusion created to try and comprehend and apply order to what is intrinsically chaotic and random, and to fight the anxiety that their fears induce.

    Your options are to choose one of the following:

    1. Acceptance. You can accept that life is meaningless and that it's okay. This one's my preference.
    2. Denial. You can deny life's meaninglessness and seek to find or create a purpose for yourself. This can range from something as simple as a hobby to as life changing as having a family or advocating for a cause.
    3. Embrasure. Revel in the chaos and express yourself through it, doing whatever you want without thought it care. This is best exemplified by the fictional character of the Joker.
    4. Oppression. Take up religion to crush understanding of reality and replace it with a delusion of supernaturally defined purpose. This is probably the most commonly used option, frequently forced upon people during childhood.
    5. Opposition. Attempt to fight the reality or mask the effects of meaninglessness through other means, such as direct therapy, chemical dependency (not recommended), talking with friends/family, or through other methods not previously mentioned.

    Understanding one's place in the universe (insignificant, irrelevant, and temporary speck) is important to having an accurate impression of ones existence. Whether one can accept that and what one do with that understanding is unique to the individual.

    I hope that helps - good luck.

  • What are examples of things that would get you banned on reddit, but is okay on most major instances of Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Apparently not advocating for spreading knowledge of jury nullification. Lemmy.World is (mostly) banning it and now I need to find a new instance because I consider that to be the endorsement of our (American) government's system of "bend over and take it."

  • Hmm

  • Hmm

    Jump

  • That's because you can only have a shadow if you have a soul.

  • Hmm

  • What makes you think cops are competent?

  • What was life like before Wikipedia?

    Jump

  • This, but since these were expensive, lots of people bought cheaper, off-brand ones book-by-book at grocery stores over a period of 30+ weeks. We had a set growing up that my mother would pick up at whatever store we were going to, IDK, I was little.

  • Your consciousness is transferred to a random North Korean child living in Pyongyang; How do you survive? How would you plan your escape?

    Jump

  • Seeing as how I'd have list the last things keeping me from killing myself, I wouldn't.

  • If you had the choice to be born would you have been born?

    Jump

  • Oh fuck no. For my entire life I've resented having to be alive. You try being a suicidally inclined 7 year old and see how you like it. The fact that it's impossible to ask someone if they want to be born is enough for me to never want to have kids, always had been. Forcing existence and cognizance on a human being is unspeakably fucking cruel.

  • Do you want the murderer of the UnitHealthcare CEO prosecuted?

    Jump

  • What murderer? There's an alleged person who allegedly may or may not have allegedly done something that allegedly resulted in the alleged death of that CEO. Allegedly.

    Unfortunately this is America, and as members of Congress have publicly stated, there's just nothing we can do about domestic gun violence. So even if an alleged person allegedly committed an alleged crime with a firearm, the system's hands are tied.

    Oh well. Anyway I'm gonna go eat some cake, since it's all I have.

  • What hobby seems to have the worst hoarders?

    Jump

  • They're also wasteful pollution machines when they're run, and for no practical purpose. They're just toys to these people.

  • Why are you on Lemmy?

    Jump

  • Reddit's API fuckery. That's it, that's the whole reason. Fuck spez.

  • How much can we hope is being put in place behind the scenes at the US federal level to mitigate the damage Trump will do? Can any of it be effective?

    Jump

  • We can't. IMO unless some of the military brass grow the spines needed to actually fulfill their oaths to protect the United States from threats both foreign AND DOMESTIC, we're all pretty well fucked.

  • CHATCONTROL STOPPED!

    Jump

  • Cool, glad for y'all.

    Hey, now that you've taken care of that, we're having a little fascism problem here in America. We were wondering if you could, ya'know, return that little favor we did for ya in the 1940s?

  • They know why

    Jump

  • He totally looks like Jake Gyllenhaal.

  • Just curious but are we heading towards an "eat the rich" society?

    Jump

  • Ha, I wish.

  • I'd like to report a crime

  • You know I'm in favor of our (American) military defense of Taiwan against the CCP, but...
