Your words, not mine. I never said drugs are everything

You don't have to say it.

Yeah, exactly. You can't have fun all the time, that doesn't put food in your stomach or a roof over your head. There's a base level of work you have to put in.

No, don't sell yourself short, you stupid asshole. Drugs are the answer to everything. They'll put ALL the roofs on ALL the houses.

What is the point of saying that? Everyone knows you don't agree with it. We know Second Class doesn't agree with it. Taking his view of life and drugs and twisting it into some hyperbolic conjecture doesn't convey whatever it is you're trying to convey any better. tbh it's only making you look ignorant or significantly less empathetic.

You're an enigma.

It's funny, Verbatim wishes life is perfect and without suffering, but he hates fun and the lack of suffering it provides.

DAYUM THESE TWISTS

Brought to you by M Night Shyamalan.

Pop culture references are never funny, by the way.

Yes you did. You said there's no point to fun because it drags out your miserable life bla bla bla.

And that doesn't mean I hate fun. I think it's fruitless, but it's not something I hate.

That's just the thing - there is no reason we're in this "maze". We're here for the same reason that an ant is, or that a robin is. We just are. We're animals, and unlike most animals, we don't spend all our time trying to get food or water. We've already mastered the art of preventing starvation and thirst, so we spend our time thinking up these big questions like "what does it mean", "why are we here", when the simple answer is nothing, no reason. You can overthink yourself to death about why you're in the maze, and I hope the contrived answer you get is more fulfilling than the tasty, real block of cheese I'll have.

If something truly happens for no reason, which I think is just bogus, either way, you need a justification for the phenomenon. A reason. Why are we here—No, why should we be here? Why should we continue? What is our contribution?

No one's asking this question, because everyone's too busy trying to have "FUN".
And I hope you just die if that's all you think life is about.

fun (which is the opposite of suffering)

No, it VERIFIABLY fucking isn't.

Utter horseshit.

actually now that I think about it, a minimalist light theme could look pretty sexy

I haven't told anyone to kill themelves in this thread at all. Quit the slander.

Fun is the opposite if suffering—I don't know if anything stupider could be said.
Do you also think a cat is the opposite of a dog? Are you that childishly ignorant?

Okay, the actual reason why we're here is because the Big Bang formed hundreds of millions of galaxies, including the Milky Way. In the Milky Way, Earth formed. Fast forward hundreds of thousands of years, the first single-celled lifeforms form. Fast forward even more, those lifeforms evolve into multicellular organisms. Those organisms eventually become fish, insects, birds, etc. Mammals eventually form, which leads to the rise of apes. Tens of thousands of years after the extinction of the dinosaurs, apes evolve into neanderthals, which eventually evolve into modern humans. One human, the genesis of all that is good and moral, rises out of the filth of the mortal world, forever entangled of their sins of having fun and pleasure, and schools them over the Internet.

There is no reason we're here other than basic evolution. We should continue because life is full of happiness and pleasure if we live it right. We don't have a "contribution", nor are we obligated to.

And you also think dictionaries are objective, God's word, and not based purely on public perception and are thus completely arbitrary. Not based on any rational, scientific theory. You're a semantic fuckwit, and a gigantic waste of time.

So telling people to get lung cancer isn't telling people to die?

No.

It's telling people to get lung cancer.

Which will lead them to their deaths. So in short, you're telling them to die.

Suffering is essentially not attaining or fulfilling your desires. The severity of which comes in a multitude of degrees.
Logically, he 'opposite' of this is attaining or fulfilling your desires, which in its most absolute from would be attaining or fulfilling all of your desires.
