No most stuff does not suck ass most stuff is pretty good. Sorry you're feeling down though friend.

[Petrified Wood]

Sorry to inform the OP that it is definitely ones outlook that often (but not always, some things in life do in fact just suck a big one) makes things in life "sucks ass." It is a shame the OP has such a hard time looking at the glass half full but trust me when I say it is. Not everything is sunshine and roses of course, man has made and created some rather horrible blunders that in hindsight do not work or is fair to everyone / anyone but to state that everything man has designed up to our current time "sucks ass" is just a false statement no matter whom is making the claim. Since often we have no choice or control in the matter try and enjoy what cards you have been dealt and if you don't like your hand you can always toss a few back and try your luck with another. I'm naturally more optimistic then pessimistic these days and I find having this view makes everything, even the things that "suck ass," a bit more tolerable.

The shower after an agonizing workout. No suckage there, not a bit.

[magnetaress]

Coffee. 78% of the time give or take a few percentage.

[HalflingSpergand]

Christ redeemer = catholics(jews)
Showers = cleanliness fetish, dependency
Coffee = drug addiction ( ihave this one)

[Gustoo]

I don't know what you are trying to say. You should read a book about these concepts. Maybe Heretics but GK chesterton the trash can thought processes that bring you to garbage heaps have been combatted for thousands of years. Heretics is from about 100 years ago and dunks on all of the trash theories a person might be indoctrinated with in a lower division undergrad mandator indoctrination / world religion class at junior college or whatever. In JC's they always talk about the dumbest possible theories for like 2 seconds just for you to get the seed of post modern idiocity and then move on before talking about how the idea has been beaten like a dead horse by everyone with a brain for the last thousand years and is agreed on by all brains to be a dead end thought process.

You can say every part of physical reality is bad because it decays. But it is a spurious connection.

Roll Bertox and lean into the decay?

What kind of help are you asking for with this thread, some people care even over the internet.

explain how that sucks ass to go on an adventure to secure natural food

what about farming equipment ?

[HalflingSpergand]

It will break, it will fail, it will cost you money, it causes dependency and fetish. I'm simply saying everything sucks ass that's all. I noticed it today

[HalflingSpergand]

If a person made it it sucks ass, tell that person to get fucked.

I mean even shitting and pissing what the fuck is the deal what a fuckin burden for no apparent reason.did adam and eve shit and piss? Why didnt they ask god why they were shitting and pissing? Even the bible has its flaws it is so hard to understand and it is complicated. And thats the best handbook we have.

excerpt from "The Suicide of Thought" by GK Chesterton 100 years ago.

"What we suffer from to-day is humility in the wrong place. Modesty has moved from the organ of ambition. Modesty has settled upon the organ of conviction; where it was never meant to be. A man was meant to be doubtful about himself, but undoubting about the truth; this has been exactly reversed. Nowadays the part of a man that a man does assert is exactly the part he ought not to assert — himself. The part he doubts is exactly the part he ought not to doubt — the Divine Reason. Huxley preached a humility content to learn from Nature. But the new sceptic is so humble that he doubts if he can even learn. Thus we should be wrong if we had said hastily that there is no humility typical of our time.
The truth is that there is a real humility typical of our time; but it so happens that it is practically a more poisonous humility than the wildest prostrations of the ascetic. The old humility was a spur that prevented a man from stopping; not a nail in his boot that prevented him from going on. For the old humility made a man doubtful about his efforts, which might make him work harder. But the new humility makes a man doubtful about his aims, which will make him stop working altogether.

At any street corner we may meet a man who utters the frantic and blasphemous statement that he may be wrong. Every day one comes across somebody who says that of course his view may not be the right one. Of course his view must be the right one, or it is not his view. We are on the road to producing a race of men too mentally modest to believe in the multiplication table.

We are in danger of seeing philosophers who doubt the law of gravity as being a mere fancy of their own. Scoffers of old time were too proud to be convinced; but these are too humble to be convinced. The meek do inherit the earth; but the modern sceptics are too meek even to claim their inheritance.

[The] peril is that the human intellect is free to destroy itself. Just as one generation could prevent the very existence of the next generation, by all entering a monastery or jumping into the sea, so one set of thinkers can in some degree prevent further thinking by teaching the next generation that there is no validity in any human thought.

It is idle to talk always of the alternative of reason and faith. Reason is itself a matter of faith. It is an act of faith to assert that our thoughts have any relation to reality at all. If you are merely a sceptic, you must sooner or later ask yourself the question, “Why should ANYTHING go right; even observation and deduction? Why should not good logic be as misleading as bad logic? They are both movements in the brain of a bewildered ape?” The young sceptic says, “I have a right to think for myself.” But the old sceptic, the complete sceptic, says, “I have no right to think for myself. I have no right to think at all.”

There is a thought that stops thought. That is the only thought that ought to be stopped.

To sum up our contention so far, we may say that the most characteristic current philosophies have not only a touch of mania, but a touch of suicidal mania”¦What we are looking at is not the boyhood of free thought; it is the old age and ultimate dissolution of free thought. It is vain for bishops and pious bigwigs to discuss what dreadful things will happen if wild scepticism runs its course. It has run its course. It is vain for eloquent atheists to talk of the great truths that will be revealed if once we see free thought begin. We have seen it end. It has no more questions to ask; it has questioned itself.

You cannot call up any wilder vision than a city in which men ask themselves if they have any selves. You cannot fancy a more sceptical world than that in which men doubt if there is a world.

Free thought has exhausted its own freedom. It is weary of its own success. If any eager freethinker now hails philosophic freedom as the dawn, he is only like the man in Mark Twain who came out wrapped in blankets to see the sun rise and was just in time to see it set."

Good pussy

[FatherSioux]

OP has swung too far, let’s all pray for their return to the right side.

[Kaveh]

I personally enjoy taking a piss

[HalflingSpergand]

Good pussy = emotional and/or financial strings, bitchiness

[magnetaress]

Have you ever sucked a really sweet ass tho?

[HalflingSpergand]

No such thing

I bet Kaveh has a sweet pooty.

[HalflingSpergand]

Don't pretend good pussy doesn't have downsides you're just lyin to yourself

[magnetaress]

Sometimes it is a matter of sucking the best ass. As upposed to any ass. Or easily attainable ass.

Improving your own ass is cool too. I got a lot of fun and happiness out of that. I would like to again.

[HalflingSpergand]

Sucking ass is off the table

Psa Leave your poor ass alone

[magnetaress]

Sucking ass is off the table

Psa Leave your poor ass alone

I'm really gentle with my butt. Pooping. Wiping. Washing.

Make sure to never get soap up there. My ass has been through enough.

I put my legs up, do a squat and relax, there's no sucking involved there. Don't think I would have made it this far without this technique.

Zero suck. Just relaxing, sliding, and giving back to earth.

[imperiouskitten]

but what if u define good pussy as not having bitchiness & strangs doe

[HalflingSpergand]

Then other dudes stick their dicks in it thereby disqualifying it

Ya know what sucks? I wanna make the name Genghis khan but he was a bad dude. Especially probably from a feminist perspective. I thought steppe rider would be cool but I'm afraid of someone from Mongolia thinking I'm cool and sending me to many message :confused:

no offense Mongolia.

[Gravydoo II]

Genghis khan did nothing wrong.

[Gwaihir]

Genghis khan did nothing wrong.

Genghis Khan was obviously a dark triad Chad, and seeing as how Chad is just a benevolent bro that wants to see everyone living their best life, that would make him a Brad.

Did we just agree on something?

I think you'd be surprised on how much we agree upon, other than the fact that you believe the solution resides in governatin' as opposed to taking on the personal responsibility for making something different than what is.
The power to change this reality lies within you, deferring that responsibility to government actually just empowers them to continue shaping reality in a way that benefits them. After all, they're merely serving "us", remember?

[Gwaihir]

I mean, I guess what I'm saying is, if we're just gonna defer a soul-less entity to make the reality we want for us, while we play Vidya all day and only serve ourselves we might not be happy with the results.

Cookies were designed to make life easier for us.

But then people were stupid idiots and think their usage data on websites is something that they have an ownership of.

So now every time I go to a website I have to say "yes accept cookies, because I am not a stupid retard that thinks facebook is steeling my special private data."

So things that were designed to make your life better, are purposefully designed to be shitty by people because people suck ass.

[magnetaress]

Turning on those cookies lets them collect usage data, ip data, location data etc, then profile u.

I don't like it, but I just cope. Sometimes it's nice Chiles automatically knows my city.

No no. I dont believe that. I believe that the solution to most things is putting the right people in the right places. As long as we have this top heavy rich people government, its going to serve the rich. Once we get some poor people elected, shit will change.

Government doesnt have all the anwsers in the world but they got a few sorted out. The idea that we cant reform our own government into something that is good and actually serves the common man is giving up in my opinion. There is something between shooting and killing your own animals then cleaning, cooking etc, and the government delivers food to your house.

Like the ladder sounds terrible, I know. But what if the guy who was shooting and cleaning his own animals was running the government food delivery/allocation service? See my point? Shit would change.

I agree about common folk being given power over their own governance and destiny. In theory your sentiment is good.

Who are these "right" people?

[Gravydoo II]

They would have to apply for the job. The people may like the local government sending them an email saying "hey we're looking to hire people with these skills and bring new ideas to the table for this program" then form a committee, find the best applicant, put them in charge, hire the best of the rest as staff. Make shit happen. If they dont work out, next best in line, merit based hiring. No election, its a job, not a political position. Im sure towns have the address of every person in town. The more people involved the better. More ideas, more hands working. Germany rebuilt their nation before the place got trashed. Picks and shovels made highways, cause they wanted them. That could be us lol.

Oh oh. Indian Rose wood. It doesnt suck because i took back a frikken 12' slab of monkey pod back, he accepted it, then gave me new stuff. It was on the very bottom of a stack of like 15 sheets we had to move by hand. I'm the worst customer.

Everything is DESIGNED TO SUCK ASS Name a thing designed by people that doesnt suck ass ill debunk it

communism

[HalflingSpergand]

Poor people stealing your things or gulag,ya that sucks ass.

[zodium]

poor people stealing my things is good tho

[HalflingSpergand]

Well you could just give away your things then and leave me out of it

[zodium]

charity is a word for the bourgeoisie privilege of deciding how our taxes are spent, like robbing a man and giving back a small fraction of what I stole when I find him starving and destitute the next week.

the working class seizing back the wealth my class stole? its very good. communism is very good.

[HalflingSpergand]

Communism is poor people stealing stuff

[zodium]

that owns, much like communism

[imperiouskitten]

imagine no religion
I wonder if u can
no need for zog or white men
eat beetles with our hands

I like that Zodium guy.
Fighting the nazi and promoting communism.

cant even have a gnome race on a 20 year old server because people are upset, would agree with thread title.

[Gwaihir]

The thing about communism is you can take the Walmartian out of Walmart, but you can't take the Walmart out of a Walmartian.

Even under a system where we were all divided out the same number of dollars a month, you would still be fat and unkempt.

[Gwaihir]

Imagine not being able to attract women with a delta of net worth, and just being a broke Weinstein.

[zodium]

walmart and amazon proved that making a global command economy work was simply a question of developing faster computers. the future is bright, glorious and communist.

Spandrell is unfortunately lost in the illusion of materialism but he does understand how biological leninism (https://spandrell.com/2017/11/14/biological-leninism/) works.


Socialism works not only because it promises higher status to a lot of people. Socialism is catnip because it promises status to people who, deep down, know they shouldn't have it. There is such a thing as natural law, the natural state of any normally functioning human society. Basic biology tells us people are different. Some are more intelligent, more attractive, more crafty and popular. Everybody knows, deep in their lizard brains, how human mating works: women are attracted to the top dogs. Being generous, all human societies default to a Pareto distribution where 20% of people are high-status, and everyone else just has to put up with their inferiority for life. That's just how it works.

Socialism though promised to change that, and Marx showed they had a good plan. Lenin then put that plan to work in practice. What did Lenin do? Exterminate the natural aristocracy of Russia, and build a ruling class with a bunch of low-status people. Workers, peasants, Jews, Latvians, Ukrainians. Lenin went out of his way to recruit everyone who had a grudge against Imperial Russian society. And it worked, brilliantly. The Bolsheviks, a small party with little popular support, won the civil war, and became the awesome Soviet Union. The early Soviet Union promoted minorities, women, sexual deviants, atheists, cultists and every kind of weirdo. Everybody but intelligent, conservative Russians of good families.


You see, the poor will never really be in charge because they simply do not possess the intellectual capacity. It simply doesn't matter whether that lack is genetic or environmental. When you do not understand the rules, you will be manipulated by those who do. It's inevitable. In reality, Communism is an alliance between the 0.01% at the top and the bottom 20% or so against the middle 80%.

The only solution is the gradual realization of the rules by everyone, both the political ones and much more importantly the spiritual ones, namely the fundamental unity of man: that we are all branches on the same tree, as it were, and that as a tree is harmed by damage to any of its branches, so are we. I know it sounds corny, but it's the truth.

when the world is drowning in its own surplus productive capacity—when the billionaires have murdered each other in their bunkers and their space colonies, when all the kings have fallen and all the institutions have failed—communists will be the only human beings with any hope for tomorrow.

First there has to be a widespread adoption of the Ebionite perspective, or else ego will erode the ranks, with certainty. What happens when you chop the head off a Hydra?

The thing about communism is you can take the Walmartian out of Walmart, but you can't take the Walmart out of a Walmartian.

Even under a system where we were all divided out the same number of dollars a month, you would still be fat and unkempt.

Please euthanize me.
