FUCK. That's terrible.
That reminded me of something I see near me on occasion, trying to find pictures.
EDIT: Okay, I can't find pictures, so I'll just say instead I talked to a guy yesterday at my school who thinks putting Japanese natives in concentration camps didn't happen in this country in WW2, and that we should nuke the entire Middle East. After that argument, I just left for the day.

You make one comment about how trying to get laid is a complete waste of time and you may as well be speaking a foreign language.

I wouldn't trust anyone who's 100% satisfied with who they are as a person. If you have nothing to strive for, odds are you're just another dink watching some reruns on TV and working a nothing job and somehow not caring about any of this.

word to that. what about acceptance vs. satisfaction?

Depends on how much control I have over any given thing you're talking about.
If it's a thing where I can still acquire knowledge, satisfaction is necessary. If I've learned all I can, then acceptance is necessary.

I suspect the dude subletting a room in my house has a fecal fetish, but I'm afraid to straight up call him out in person because we have so much traffic through this house, bands staying, drunk friends, etc. Subconsciously I might be maintaining a passive stance on this partially because he's an outsider to our close group and probably already feels out of place with a bunch of punks running around willy nilly. I don't want to make him uncomfortable if it can be avoided, and I only have circumstantial evidence that points in his direction...which isn't going to make a difference when I eventually blow up and lose my shit (no pun intended) the next time something weird happens. Poop count thus far over the last 2 or so weeks: 1. dook chunk on the toilet paper roll (wrote that off as a gross drunk person with poor asswiping skills, discarded poo paper and pretty much forgot about it) 2. I have the burliest electric toothbrush ever. Went to use it and the handle was sticky/tacky in a very familiar and frightening way. The sniff test also came back positive for BUTT. --> This is where the true and renewed anger/hatred for humanity began building, talks were had with the other permanent members of the house. I don't believe this was a personal ass attack, but just a weird dude doing weird stuff. 3. Lurking near the bathroom door when people are in it dropping bombs, and then scuttling away without going in after they emerge. There are a lot of strange things about his personality, behavior, and mannerisms that aren't helping me to vote for his innocence. I've woken up to see my bedroom door opening, and him scurrying away when I start moving/making noise. My room is off the kitchen, and he often just stands in my line of sight...doing nothing. Boiling water and staring at it. Not for tea, not for anything as far as I can tell. He just lurks and stares. I thought maybe he was on drugs, but besides being weird he doesn't seem like he's on anything. Either way I don't want to find a pile of shit in the bottom of my laundry basket or under my bed at some point. I got home after crashing at a friend's house last night, and it looks like someone poured coffee in my cat's food bowl. It probably wasn't poo water, but what if? I'm torn between waiting to catch him doing something red-handed and just kicking him out to avoid something actually harmful befalling my household or pets. Nobody really knew the dude before he came into the house, and we've never had issues like this before. I.Fucking.Hate.People. I for one would like to hear an update on this predicament.

If you have nothing to strive for, odds are you're just another dink watching some reruns on TV and working a nothing job and somehow not caring about any of this. Real talk. The nihilistic atheists kill me the most, if you believe this life is all you have, why are you not trying to make that experience as bad ass as possible? You are theoretically here for some time, so make some investments and then you can just think "hell yeah" as you are dying.

Nihilism in general is fucking LAME.
Anyone who lives their entire life under that mindset dies as nothing. It's a super self-fulfilling prophecy if there ever was one.
(PS: I have no idea what my 17 year old self would think of me saying nihilism is lame at the age of 24, but I'm sure it would make me laugh pretty hard.)

Although, because of that; I think that I should take advantage of every moment I have and use it to the fullest. I just feel that there is no actual meaning to life and people who spend their life trying to figure out that meaning or living for the afterlife are wasting their time.

I agree with you entirely, but I don't see how that's nihilistic?
Wouldn't it only qualify as such if you made no effort to do anything whatsoever because of that purpose?

In the Antichrist, Nietzsche had a pretty nice section on how the religious fanatics and sheepish Christians were the real nihilists, chiefly existential and epistemological nihilists not so much the moral or political sort. Anyone heavily focused on afterlife is generally too hung up on that to attribute any real value or meaning to their real life or even real life in general, which is the idea within it that I agree with.
I think atheism is very anti-nihilistic in nature, though some people can get really hung up on the "without God all things are possible" idea.

it sounds like someone just meandering on a guitar. like they are trying to write a solo and just diddling around seeing what sounds good but they just can't figure out a good shred. also it has massive reverb on the guitar and uninteresting drums. tell your friends they blow.

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Negative_and_positive_atheismThere are arrogant and self-righteous holders of every belief, thought, idea, principle, etc. Religion isn't the only thing either. Lacking opinion is probably worse in my eyes (note this is an opinion, itself), but those who can hold their opinions to a personal level and not go from a level of discussion to any type of forceful speech/action are much more honorable in my eyes.

i cant have an opinion about something that is contingent only upon opinion and ultimately unknowable. absolutes are so worrisome, regardless of the thrust of the argument. there really shouldnt be any argument. i tried to self-identify as atheist at one point, and found myself really tormented by that commitment. i guess at this point i would be more agnostic, but a very curious one.
