I loved the Piccolo/17 handshake too, 18 being so cold towards 17 was really weird too
i mean the dickface did mess up his own neice's name so he kinda deserved it
it's kinda sad they're not a close family though
aren't marron and maron pronounced the same though

my point of contention is that no one derives happiness from a lack of suffering, or that realision that they could be suffering
why would you bet that
i would argue that it isn't even relevant whether someone derives happiness from a lack of suffering, because a lack of suffering in and of itself is an objectively positive thing, whether it's appreciated or not
this is a fundamental premise in benatar's asymmetry
right, it's a good thing but it doesn't create the positive sensations typically associated with happiness is my point why would you bet someone with a cozy life would be less depressed than you

are you like me that you want to die before 30 too
yeah who wants to live longer than that honestly
It's not that I want to, I just don't honestly see myself living that long. I almost killed myself a few months ago; I doubt the issues causing that will be fixed soon.
i'll take it
this is off topic but you strike me as the self-conscious type. you're very intelligent and you handled yourself very well here but i bet it doesn't translate like that irl. i wish i could help you unlock what you're capable of.
I'm decent with words, but that doesn't make me smart; that's neither here nor there, though.
you're smarter than me at least, and i'm a fool who's convinced himself and everyone else that he's going to be something. i've always felt that the people who genuinely have the traits to make a difference lack the showmanship of the people running things. the "successful" people of this world are just really convincing actors.

that fact makes you happy?
not happy per se, but i definitely feel "better" about my position in life
i want future generations to feel the same way, but at the same time, i don't want to take away their right to feel discontent about whatever boring problems they'll have
because my problems, comparatively speaking, are boring—but i'm starkly aware of how much happier i could be, and that's the frustrating thing
and this is where i lack perspective, because i can't prove to you that someone with a cozy life is going to be less depressed than i am—but i'm willing to bet that they would
my point of contention is that no one derives happiness from a lack of suffering, or that realision that they could be suffering why would you bet that

If I could guarantee a happy life, I would have kids. But I can't; at most, I'll adopt.
do you think the greatest generation guaranteed a happy life for the baby boomers
Greatest so far. I'd need to be given the 100% that they won't worry for a job, school supplies, clothing, discrimination or hatred, etc. It would require us to fix the problem caused by humanity within the next few years. That's not happening, so I'm not having kids.
basically what i'm trying to get at is, do you think any generation before ours has ever met your criterion for procreation i'm sure this is unnecessary and verbatim has already put you through the ringer with these questions so be brief if u want

yeah but i still wouldn't say that these people, despite their appreciation for a life without starvation and poverty, will be happier than you are now.
like we can understand how shitty polio was but it doesn't make us happier.
i disagree
you have no idea how humbled i am by the fact that i'm not tiptoeing around landmines right now
that fact makes you happy?

what i meant was that you will probably want to kill yourself no matter what job you're at lol I will (because of issues unrelated to work), but I'd rather avoid a job that would push me over the line of suicide.
Here's a website that shows the cost differences for various things between Canada and the US, including living expenses.
Yeah, so not really comparable then.
well i don't think you're wrong for being upset. i'm upset. i just think that because you are upset, you should feel compelled to break the cycle and stop having kids, and finish your life off. I do. It's a little hard to while working minimum wage, trying to find an apartment with friends/associates, and dealing with bills and expenses. Maybe when I'm 29 and a year from killing myself, my votes for local/state/federal government will pay off and my house representative will actually act on my behalf.

so lets say i can picture it. i still don't believe we can achieve it, so nonexistence is still preferrable.
which is why being an antinatalist is all that makes sense
the "perfect existence" has such an iota of a chance of happening (especially because it involves literally changing the fabric of the universe) that it's not an achievable goal in any way
But that doesn't mean that it's not what life should look like. That's 100% how everything should be, no matter how fictitious it is. But if you look at the two goals (one, bring about the perfect existence; two, revert to perfect nonexistence), one makes far more sense to pursue.
yeah, revert to nonexistence
right
i need to know if we're on the same page
if you can't decipher which one I believe makes more sense from the tone and context of the post then I'm not going to help you lol
cut me some slack man i've been working since 7 this morning and i've ad like 300 conversatins with just you in this thread so i can't keep track
i'm assuming you mean revertng to non-existence is the more realistic goal we should strive for
yes lol
but not on a personal level - anyone can just kill themselves
on a personal level, happiness (which there is no such thing as an "artificial" kind - just short-term and long-term) is the ultimate goal
i'm like the exact opposite. i want my life to suck, because i want the universe to get btfo when i succeed despite it's best efforts to fuck me over. kind of childish. kind of masochistic. but it works. i've never been more motivated and successful than i have been the last couple of months.

though statistically, the main reason the reproduction rate is going down in first worlds in because they don't want to bring people into this messed up world, which is encouraging.
actually aria is like a cunt hair away from being an anti-natalist herself
i don't want to speak for her, but i can just feel it in my bunions
i think this is the funniest thing you've ever said but it may just be the exhaustion talking lmao

also as far as the hedonic treadmill goes, i don't think people in the future—whose biggest worries will hopefully be what to wear the next day, or what kind of present to give your best friend for his birthday—i honestly don't think these people, while they may be unhappy about trivial stuff, i don't think they will fail to appreciate that their problems are indeed trivial compared to poverty and starvation
i have perspective enough to know that, despite my shit life, things could be a lot shittier, and i yearn for future generations to have a life where all they have to complain about is frivolity
i WANT that
yeah but i still wouldn't say that these people, despite their appreciation for a life without starvation and poverty, will be happier than you are now. like we can understand how shitty polio was but it doesn't make us happier.
