Sonic Riders was something I played as a kid... I don't remember it being good or bad, just that I enjoyed myself.

Ugh.

Kirby Air Riders is GOAT

is it like Sonic Riders or some shit?

But you just said nobody can look objectively at their life?

I obviously wasn't being literal. In the same way that I could say "People are idiots", without obviously meaning everyone is an idiot.

>Kill all humans
How do you expect that to be taken?

No one is proposing killing. You're either an idiot or aren't offering the philosophy the intellectual consideration it deserves.

And yeah, good luck. Come to us if you need anything. I can recommend some good eats to start with.

these guys aren't new

they drop in periodically to shitpost for a day and then leave

they're from bungle

Oh. Joy.

I can represent myself in a court of law. I don't have to have a degree to do so.

I can't perform surgery on myself, it's illegal and could be physically impossible. I'd need a degree of some kind to perform surgery legally.

That's kind of what I was getting at.

well at least you kinda have a path that you're ready to take, which is good. my ultimate goal is to become a small business owner but i'm always having internal conflicts about my ideas and whether or not i really want to go down this road. plus, there isn't really much i can do to capitalize on my ideas when i don't have the necessary capital or time to start up a business at my age. only thing is that i fear i'll wait too long and graduate college without having a clue on what to do with myself and be left regretting wasting my time in college.

ugh

Yeah, I know what you mean. I wish we could just study whatever our hearts desired, instead of having to take specific courses to get specific jobs. That's what I like about law -- you don't have to get a law degree to be a lawyer. But you're way better at your job if you do. Y'know?

If you have a good enough idea man, run with it. I don't think I could go a few years without a salary, personally. But everyone's different.

Since you can't objectively look at your life, which I guess now is a requirement to be able to choose things, why does anything you say hold merit?

Because I can look objectively at my life and say "Y'know, it would've been a lot better if I had never been born."

I think it's safe to assume that if such a tyrannical regime came about they would not only have the greatest possible comic book line, but be opposed so fervently that it would not work. The way to get man to fight the best he can is to give him no way out, you'll guarantee that.

Okay, Frank Miller.

Not to mention, doesn't that go against your whole ideology of consent is everything? If you're at the point where killing people without consent is okay, you're becoming that which you despise.

Consent can be rendered void in certain circumstances. Taking a life to save 100, for example.

I mean, I wouldn't want to forcefully sterilise everyone (i'd rather convince them), but I probably won't shed a tear if our drinking water has purposefully rendered us incapable of reproduction thanks to Ultron or some shit.

And I'm also not killing anyone. Not sure where you got that from "consent-based philosophy."

Is it me or did anyone else get the distinct impression that Chally is pretty close to the "anti-natalist sympathiser" stage?

I always find that when i'm searching for motivation to do something, i ask myself, "will this make me happy?"

if i don't like the answer to that question then it's back to square one, where i usually am...

Yeah, I've been lacking a real purpose in life for 4 or 5 years, now. It's not fun.

I have an obligation to my future family to provide for them, so that's where I'm at. Plus, getting a law degree would be salubrious for me regardless of my future. 4 years of studying whatever the fuck I want at Uni (philosophy, theology, psychology, polysci), then 3 years of law school where, if I graduate, I'll get a degree that essentially lands me a job anywhere I want.

It's not going to be a cakewalk, but I'm not dreading it

But you're not. If you were then you'd be a neo-nazi too.

Raving lunatic.

That can be edited once we reach the technology to do that if we keep moving forward, if the person wants eternal bliss for some reason.

I don't see us ever getting to that point, and I don't think you can even quality that. I do believe there will be a technological ceiling as well.

But I'll play ball. If we ever get to the point in our lives where we can choose our existence... what would be the point? A life without struggle is useless, and a life with struggle is shit. Bliss is the exact same thing as not being born.

And I don't really care if you think your life is better when you struggle -- you shouldn't be allowed to make that decision for anyone else.

You said most, congrats that means there will still be some, and if they were the only ones to survive, they would spread on because of it.

If the human race ever decided to collectively "die out", we'd sterilise everyone and make sure there were plans in place for the confirmed extinction of our species.

Plus, without a diverse enough gene pool, natural selection will get rid of us quickly enough.

Gotcha.

I hope I get one of those "Logical Fallacy" calendars for Christmas this year.
