The Flood / Re: I think I'm incapable of asking for help.
« on: February 19, 2016, 01:00:32 AM »
It's one of the aspects to being depressed. Or maybe I should say it's something that becomes over-emphasized in a person's head. Your view gets skewed to just you. Even if you have friends or family, you feel on your own. You feel like you'd be a weight if you drop your problem into their hands. Or, maybe you don't even notice it. You don't remember that you're sad and you don't think about it until you stop and look at it.

You need to look at it in a different light. Think back to how often family members or friends may have talked to you about their problems. They trusted you enough to be comfortable in revealing what you might call a weaker side to them. Something that's vulnerable. And you probably listened. Maybe you even tried to help.

Reverse that, and look at yourself like somebody that needs a hand. Look at yourself like you're looking into a mirror. The person you see in the mirror, needs a hand. You wouldn't hesitate to help them, would you?

I've talked to you before, every now and again. You know you can talk to me. In fact I'd go so far as to say that's why I'm still here. There's people here that I stick around for. I know that I can only do so much to help them. But I offer as much as I can. You can drop anything buy me, any time you want. For all the walls I make, I can listen, too.

But you've gotta take the step. And I understand the feeling. It's like being locked up and chained. You'd like very much to say something. It's right there, in your head, but you can't say it. Maybe you don't want to. Or you're afraid of what you know is coming. You don't want to expose yourself so openly.

Well, the good news is, for now, you don't have to say anything by mouth. Just type. You have people here who will listen quite willingly. Don't see it as dropping your crap on somebody else. See it as somebody holding out a hand to pick you back up off the ground. Just get out there and say it. Don't be afraid of it.

Pope just spent the last 2 weeks in one of the most drug filled violent cities in Mexico. Hes lying.
What the fuck does that have to do with anything?

There's kinda also the fact that the pope-mobile is bullet proof.

The long story short here is that you guys are fucked no matter who gets in.
I feel like this is all you ever seem to contribute to these types of discussions, and it's kind of grating, to be honest.

Yes, we're all fucked--but the idea is that we're trying to figure out the least worst option. That's the strategy. We can sit here with our thumbs up our asses and just say "We're doomed!" OR we can try to figure out the best way to mitigate the consequences of doom.

So yes, we're all fucked. We know; it's tautological. How does that help us?

Taking part in the rigged setup that really only exists to keep itself running won't really help either. All you'll get is what you've gotten so far. A chain of decisions that on occassion have occassional benefits, alongside their negatives, which, in some cases, override the previous benefits set by various governmental figures.

So how does saying we're fucked help us? It certainly doesn't. But then again, taking part in what's arguably a broken system in its present form doesn't either. Putting the vague hopes that "the least shittiest candidate" will amount to anything is a retarded gamble and a true show of complacency in the failed state of things.

In short, nobody has the balls to do what's really neccessary. Knock the failure over and start again. If you build a crooked house foundation, and decide that rather than demolish it and build it straight, you're going to try and wing it, you'll end up with a crooked house every time. You can make all the alterations and patches you want over time, but you're not going to magically stumble into a straight house by magic. You have to knock it over and start again. That doesn't mean that you can't take some good ideas from the previous house though.

The same applies to present politics. All the big changes in our history have come from the rise and fall of something. Not people betting on the same old system and gently sliding into a new one by chance. Naturally, of course, I'm talking about revolution. But that's a big word to say.

Something much bigger than old revolutions because the world's economy is interlinked now. Knock one dominoe over and every other one struggles to stay upright. I'd be dumb to think that a complete revolutionary turnover would end well or smoothly. Maybe it's not even possible anymore. But I'd also be foolish to think that we're ever going to amount to anything in our current complacency of electing "the least worst."

So I choose not to take part. Because really, until this current setup falls over and another one takes it's place, nothing of real worth or progress is going to happen. Maybe a few good patches here or there, as a presidential figure puts their focus on a certain area. But nothing outstanding. And nothing that we should be focusing on right now.

The present state of politics is just beating around the bush over larger issues, basically. And I'm not a fan of dancing around things. You can't change a system by playing by its rules.

But you go ahead and vote for your least worst candidate there Verb. See if anything remarkable happens. Although I doubt it ever will. Politicians these days just aren't the right sort of people in control. And the current setup plays to their favor. "Rigged game" doesn't even begin to cover it.

Then again, I'm talking to somebody who's a fan of the human extinction movement. Something as equally impossible to achieve as an "honest" politician. Go fucking figure.

So yes Verb, we're fucked. Fucked from the start and fucked till the end. If it makes you feel any better, for all my talk of disliking the current setup, I'm trapped in it as well. And I don't hold the answers to fix all that I complain about in terms of government. So for the most part, I do my best to separate myself from it, quietly.

Although occassionally I have the odd day where I can't help but be sarcastically non-constructive about it. Like so. But, really, with or without your vote, politicians will do their shit anyway because they live in a terribly fictitious world that's all held together by strings which frankly, give them fictitious limitations and reservations over actually getting shit done.

It's embarrassingly and monolithically retarded, and a tribute to human stupidity.

Legit looked at my face and didn't feel like posting it. Jesus christ do I have a terrible neutral expression.
you've posted a pic before though and it looked fine

anyway you don't have to again, I remember that you look like a straight up mountain man, lol

That must have been something old on a better occassion. Now I look fucking terrible. My neutral face makes me look like I'm ready to fight a bear or something. And I'm sick, of course. Cracker ass white skin that'd put a ghost to shame. Bruises and dead patches are also starting to show, blacks and purples.

Reminds me of why I'm not a fan of mirrors. Guess I should smile more.
Ah, yeah it was a while ago I think

I just noticed your avatar btw, love it

Fashionably late for valentines, I think.

Is Deci leaving a running joke around here, like me and PSU being the same person? I feel like he's left a thousand times now.

For the folks who make it, yeah. Deci going comatose and then pulling a jesus ressurrection is countable with at least two hands. That's the way a habit goes, I guess.

Oh. That answers that I guess. Although it was bound to happen anyway. Not to bad mouth him, but Deci's like a landmine covered in triggers from every angle. Things can only go on for so long before something or somebody sets him off. Not really his fault, I'd imagine.

Doesn't help that there's toxic folks running about. But even then, like I said. Only a matter of time before a trigger gets set on, sadly. He'll either come back around again or he won't. We'll see. He's legitimately better off without paying this place a visit, I think.

Too many hassles for him to deal with.

Please don't choose to be a cunt
Interesting thought.

I know a lot of people like to go hur dur "It's just the internet." The statement is true. It is, just the internet. But those people who blindly use that term as an excuse to wave off and abolish themselves of any responsability over their actions are missing something.

It is, just the internet. It's a free space. You can say and do things you wouldn't normally do under the scrutiny of the physical world. Which means that it's the deepest, and closest reflection to what what makes you tick deep down inside that you will ever get to see of yourself without going to some medical proffessional.

I can't preach like a saint here. I'm guilty of being a caustic, sarcastic cunt some days. On purposely being belligerant. I don't live the peachiest life right now, and I'm desperately lonely and feel on my own, devoid of love. And it shows.

But I never try to stick a knife in somebody where it hurts. Because I certainly could try to do so. But what would that make me? If I can't get a grip over myself in a space that's free of repurcussions, then how could I do it in a physical sense?

That's why I'm not a fan of people who fall back on the excuse that "it's just the internet" and that you should just chill. They're right to a degree, but so very wrong at the same time. And that's why, on the internet, I do what I can to minimize being a cunt. I choose not to because I know that what's in my words here, and in my head counts for something.

It's not all a pointless, untouchable sheltered escape from the real world. It's a very real reflection of yourself, just deep down and hidden.

Give that one a thought.

Good sermon slick

I keep talking about getting a haircut but for some reason it just hasn't fucking happened yet

I'd grow my hair out more if I knew what the fuck to do with it.
the longer it gets the more annoying it is
I know from experience

I tie that shit up. Problem solved.
Until it gets in your face.

I have no idea how you'd ever manage to get a ponytail at the back of your head all over your face without excess movement and strange positions.
