5th times the charm, right?

  • Optimistic Nihilism

    Sounds like you need more than hobbies, jobs, family, technology, entertainment, science and religion.

    What would make you feel more fulfilled?

    Do you need a cause? Try volunteering at a food bank, or animal shelter.

    Do you need a goal? Plan and train for a multi day hike.

    Do you just want to escape the treadmill of life under late stage capitalism? Know that you're not alone. Do what you can to get yourself out, (or at least somewhat protected) and then try to find fulfilment

    The bad news is there is no great meaning or purpose to any of this. The good news is that there is no great meaning or purpose to any of this, so you get to decide your own purpose and define your own meaning.

  • Even if there ARE direct witnesses it won't matter. They won't be believed. How many victim statements are there against Trump re the Epstein thing now?

  • I was gonna pick bar shot for similar reasons. I feel like the flexible chain would allow for too much loss of energy. Pure guess though, IANA 18th century naval warfare expert

  • Keeping track of the paddlings? That's a paddling

  • Syntax error: unexpected symbol , near know

  • Jan 2024... so yes, 5 years is about how long ago that feels.

  • Ah right! My reflex is to assume they've done something unspeakable!

  • I assume this was posted because there's an expected influx of new users? First, welcome! Second, I'm OOL. What'd Reddit do this time?

  • I love Cult of the Lamb! Such a vibe! You should check out Wytchwood. Completely different game but similar aesthetic. It's a good time

  • False. I'm judging you to be a moron.

  • Oh go fuck yourself. From the way it's written it's not unreasonable to think they're talking about the kid running them over at 5 years old. Turning out to be a douchebag later doesn't make it OK to judge a 5 year old.

  • Yup, I see that now. I agree, he's a scumbag

  • Ok, fair. I didn't know about that

  • Her son is a scumbag

    when he was 5

    Thoughts on the monarchy aside, I think it's a little unfair to judge someone based on how they acted as a really young child

  • Thanks, that was interesting, and pretty neatly sums up the revenue side of things (and why I think it's a bs argument for their continued existence)

    I'm still curious about the "work" that The Crown (show) kept going on about. As mentioned in the rebuttal video, all of that revenue essentially comes about through just existing (and there's no reason it couldn't continue even if the monarchy were officially abolished)

    From the outside, (and going by the events in the show) it seems to be just cutting ribbons, and hosting/attending parties. Oh, and a speech once a year. Is that the extent of their work, or do they actually serve some political function that couldn't be done by a regular old diplomat?

  • I asked this when the final season of The Crown came out. What EXACTLY does the monarch do? There was so much talk of "the work we do for this country" but no explanation of it? In the same vein, how exactly do they generate revenue?

  • Or the hardware side of tech just abandoning the consumer market entirely to sell to AI companies. You want RAM? Fuck you, go rent some from Nvidia

  • anything on that phone is looong gone. The phone itself is probably long gone. Probably best to stop thinking of them like a police force who keep evidence and stuff. They're the Gestapo.
