I do. Not bodybuilding (which is legitimately retarded), but actual strength training. Been sticking with PPL for a pretty long time.
What the fuck are you gonna do with all that power?

Because I'm not insecure about how I look. Making yourself better looking is the only "rational" (use that VERY loosely) reason to do it, and I don't care about that.
Then you're happy looking bad, and that's not a good thing.

Why the fuck would we feel insecure about anything if it didn't do us humans any good? Feeling bad about something makes change, and if you don't have the ability to see your faults and the will to better yourself, then stay down.

It's purely a social thing. If you don't care about what other random people think of you, then it doesn't matter. Unless it's morbidly over/underweight and is damaging to your health.

But the argument of looking nice only applies if you're trying to impress random people for some stupid reason.
I lift for myself. I lift so that I can look good naked, and I don't intend to ever get into sexy times.

Well that's weird. I would complain, but I write scifi but don't really intend for it to get published or whatever. So eh.
vidya character. Nobody else will see your vidya char, but you customize it for your own viewing. The NPC aren't gonna notice.

No. I'm naturally good looking without working out.

Where's the good in working out? To quote SecondClass, "Ooh, you can lift stuff better." I don't give a shit about that.
So you're good looking, good for you, but can you get better looking? If you aren't out to better yourself in certain fields, then you've A) found other fields you want to focus your time and effort on, or
B) Haven't established a purpose in life

Here's a question;

Why should I spend time out of my day to do something boring when none of the reasons you list bother me? I don't care for dating and shit and I can be healthy by not eating crap. So what reason do I have? Persuade me why I should give up time that I could be using to be productive.
No, don't bother lifting if you've actually got shit to do.

I only do it because it wastes time. If you have stuff that's actually worthwhile, then don't bother.

Fuck it, I'll summarize it anyway.

Socialistic societies like Sweden like to share, and they think that they should use the word "equal" to explain themselves, and it's a good word to explain the inhabitants, but the poor are excluded. Everyone is equal within the society, not outside of it. "but we accept poor people" yes, few of them. The few immigrants that they allow into their country are kickstarted into a life of comfort. They get a house, and an education. It's important for them to be equal.

But if everyone were truly equal, most people would be allowed in, and it'd be impossible to choose who gets to stay and who doesn't.

With capitalism, it's much more simply, yet more intricate. Instead of one big power, and one big system(society), there are lots of them, all with different systems that look similar; big companies that thrive on the work of the poor to supply the middle class. Everyone is included regardless of their situation, because poor people are good workers for the companies.

Everyone is happy in capitalism, but socialism isn't working is what the OP says,  and according to my "explanation" those statements are true, but what I want to point out is that poor people are still poor, even though they have a job and an income.

Socialism isn't about people being equal, it's about equal people sharing. At least that's my understanding of it. Poor people won't be among the people who share, because they're too low to be included.
What the fuck?
Do you want me to clarify or do you think that what I said was stupid?

Of course human greed usuall takes over and the money is used to buy the CEOs expensive stuff they don't need.

The poor get paid, but not much.

Poor people won't be among the people who share, because they're too low to be included. Capitalism is about rich people using poorer people to gain profit, and thus everyone is included in the system.

In socialism the poor are outside the circle, and thus the help they receive are basically donations.

I'm still trying to get a feel for how to talk to all the different people here. You all seem to be good friends with eachother so it's a bit hard to jump right in.
My POV: Everyone hates me, but sometimes people love me

Just say whatever to whomever and you'll fit in.

Now you're lurking for 30 minutes until you find a thread you want to reply to, and that's a day.

I was thinking about this earlier. Usually the size of the universe is supposed to overwhelm you, but I think I'm starting to find it comforting. Like, we exist, and all the rest of the universe does too. Conscious or unconscious, it's our 'little' Club Of Things That Exist. So, even if our planet was blinked out- our galaxy even- there would still be lots of existence left. There would still be something doing something. And that's comforting, and somehow... not impersonal.

I guess it's like feeling at one with the universe.
Yeah, and this thread is for stuff that replaces that feeling of being one in the crowd with the crowd being small in an unpopulated world; only the crowd are all infertile, and thus one day the whole world will not sport life.

8608
Who actually feels like the universe is small? I don't
Your faith makes you blind

The entropy of the universe, and the logic that you can't create things that can't exist.
