Seconded. Maybe I just enjoy them more than most but I think it’s a missed opportunity to not make more hay with the punnerific nature of “Lemmy”. Like !lemmybewholesome@lemmy.world

Happiness and peace of mind.

Time is just an illusion anyway. We can’t measure time, because time is the measurement. It’s how humans measure change. Fundamentally a second is no more “real” than a centimeter. You can’t have a bag of either, so to speak. They’re just abstract concepts.

I’ve never once given a single thought about needing to be subscribed to communities to participate, but I can heartily recommend curating your /subscribed feed in that manner to have a front page that (mostly) doesn’t make you reach for the noose constantly.

I relate to a lot of what you’re writing - almost all of it in fact. Though my birthday is in the middle of the summer so my “feeling like shit due to being reminded of the passage of time” is evenly spaced throughout the year. In a way it would be nice to get them both out of the way around new year’s like this.

I don’t have any helpful words. I’m also just drifting between distractions as I wait for either the courage to end it or death to find me of its own accord. And I relate to the guilt of knowing I have it “easy” really, and can’t manage even given this favourable hand. I’m not going to say that it gets better, because I’ve never experienced that. All you can do is try to find solace in the fact that none of it matters, we’re all insignificant and ultimately fated to be dust, dispersed and forgotten. So the rat race doesn’t matter, and whether you make it within its confines or fail doesn’t matter. There is some hope to be had in that thought, though I often fail to hold on to it myself.

Also, it might be cheesy but who cares. Sometimes when I feel like shit this song makes me feel a little better. It is somewhat comforting to know that you’re not alone, and I hope I managed to convey at least that.

This year I was too numb to cry.

I believe the generally accepted scientific term for the English language is “clusterfuck”.

It might have been inspired by the Barometer question, which frequently gets attributed to Niels Bohr in a similar fashion.

Reminds me of Cassidy’s foreskin musings in Preacher.

Time is a flat circle eh?

Not feeling good about spending four more years attempting to resist the noose to be honest.

Still fairly early for color photography, no? Looks incredible.

I can’t believe I was unaware of this when I visited London. Gotta make sure I visit this place if I ever return.

Related question, I wonder what the oldest continuously operating establishment in the world is? 🤔
