This is such a bleak fucking planet
@chestycougth Yeah, that's the one

@OpenComputeDesign @chestycougth If we could put the humans out of frame always it might be pretty ok?
@admitsWrongIfProven @chestycougth
Even without humans I'm really not a fan of this planet tbh
@OpenComputeDesign @admitsWrongIfProven why so? Personally I think it has a lot of cool stuff going on even if you ignore the biology
@chestycougth @admitsWrongIfProven
Without humans, all other life still sucks. And without life, it's just another big rock in a field of big rocks
@OpenComputeDesign @admitsWrongIfProven It requires a human to come up with an opinion of whether something 'sucks' or not. The universe can exist perfectly fine without you or me, but we are here, existing, without any choice in the matter. So I can choose to believe that earth is a pointless rock, or I can choose to believe it is a beautiful place full of wonders. Either way, no matter what I believe, earth will be totally fine without me. But I choose to take the option that makes me happy.
@chestycougth @admitsWrongIfProven
Well, to each their own. I really don't feel comfortable or motivated to see the good in the world when there's so unforgivably much bad
@OpenComputeDesign
Not hating on bob here, nice point. But it's fine to not be positive if there is nothing positive you can see.
I mean hey, if it smells like shit, feels like shit, maybe it is shit.
It's valid to be pissed off, to dislike.
I guess we just don't understand the specific nature, the point about what is wrong?
@chestycougth @admitsWrongIfProven
I try to kill hope whenever possible. It just ends in heartache
@OpenComputeDesign
Hey, that's exactly what i am doing!
I was pretty pissed, but could do nothing, when i thought the world needs to be right, and fair.
I'm still in the process, giving up on "we will do everything right" and stopping the climate catastrope, etc.
But that is not what you are talking about, is it?
@OpenComputeDesign @admitsWrongIfProven The trick is to not care if you get rejected. I've just been to Rone and I tried to speak to a few people in Italian. There were a few people who just shrugged and walked off, but I decided I wouldn't let that put me off trying to speak Italian. And in the end I had some great convos with some lovely people. Point being I decided to ignore rejection and only pay attention to good receptions.
@chestycougth @admitsWrongIfProven
In my case, the potential harm is is all on me. I'm the person I'm worried about causing hurt if I let myself have hope
@chestycougth OCD does not fear being rejected, it's more about not hurting others.
Strange world there.
@admitsWrongIfProven It can be an absolute uncontrollable nightmare to live with. Hardest thing is often recognising that it is OCD.
@admitsWrongIfProven @OpenComputeDesign yeah, you are right, @opencomputerdesigns, if things aren't going well in your life then it will drag you down. There's nothing wrong with feeling negative, just please don't lose hope.
