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.

I think what others do is relevant, making it easy or hard to enjoy living.
Others, or the whole causality chain into the generational trauma, right?

Well, I'm definitely the most depressing and abusive person I know. And unfortunately, despite _huge_ amounts of time and effort trying, there's no escaping myself
@OpenComputeDesign
Who contributed how much to you becoming the person you are now?
@admitsWrongIfProven @chestycougth
Personally, I think I was probably born this way. Or at least, was bound to end up this way

Not wrong, but is this thread here not about trying to understand OCD? Blocking out influences seems amiss?
@admitsWrongIfProven @OpenComputeDesign This is true. But at the same time being aware that people around you are bringing you down can be enough for you to separate yourself from them and go elsewhere. Or if you can't separate yourself from them then being aware that they are bad influences can be enough to be able to consciously block out their influence
