Sounds like any other addiction like drugs or videogames, you’re just like the rest of us—addicted to escapism.
Unless you can get your rocks off reading instruction manuals, in which case IDK what to tell you. There’s worse habits than reading. Maybe join a book club so you can do some socializing too and not turn into a weird loner readinghermit
Alcohol just unleashes my depression even harder. 1-2 drinks is fine but if I’m not in an okay headspace then after that I get mopey and then just melodramatic and cant stop thinking about death and causality and how i’ve wasted my life
I could have sworn I’d seen this in a tv show or a comedy sketch.. like they invite some old veteran to speak about his life at some event only to realize halfway through that he was a nazi
Does anyone remember something like this?
I was a heroin addict and only jerked off like once a month for years (i.e. whenever I could get my hands on a couple adderall, i’d get my hands on something else). Now i’m clean and exercising and gaining weight and trying to be a human again, and I kinda started jerking off a bit more and I’ve realized just like with eating — the more I eat the more I feel the need to eat— the more I jerk it the more I find myself wanting to jerk it. Now I feel I’ve opened a degenerate can of worms.
I kind of liked not being a slave to my monke brain… except then I was a slave to my junke brain. Someone just teach me how to live.
I worry about the fucked up right wing legislation that may come from this in 5 years. Maybe republicans will just hike up our taxes and cut corporate taxes again to compensate (mind you they’ll also increase prices of everything too because greed.) All that matters is immediate profits and instant gratification for shareholders—broader long-term economic environment be damned!
But in the meantime I hope this wave of unionizing and striking serves to cull a bunch of shitty businesses/business models out there that can’t survive under the pressure of paying a living wage.
If your business can’t survive paying enough for your employees to survive, YOUR BUSINESS SHOULDN’T SURVIVE
The HE GETS US campaign has to be my most hated reddit advert of all time.
Ohhh is that why he allows all the atrocities of humanity? Because he knows deep down we want to suffer? He lets children be trafficked and murdered because he gets us. He lets newborns know nothing but pain before starving or suffocating in a trash bag in some piss soaked back alley because HE GETS US
They say “GOD IS GOOD” on a facebook post about a child waking up from a coma. Okay what about the thousands of children who didn’t wake up from their coma today? Where’s his credit for that? They happily attribute every petty little fortune to god and put their attribution-blinders on to all the horror.
“no it’s satan who is responsible for all the bad things!”
Well isn’t that fucking convenient! The problem is that their god is omnipotent, all knowing and all powerful; satan is not. So anything satan does inherently must be done with god’s tacit approval.
HE GETS US
There’s medication for that
Far right: “while we’re at it we’re going to cut taxes for the ultra rich and corporations, and raise taxes on everyone else. Trickle down economics hasn’t failed as a model, it just needs 75 years to start trickling. And we’re gonna make it harder for people to vote and harder for people to trust elections because that’s our only chance of winning with a garbage platform that does nothing to benefit 90% of you.”
Average republican voter: DURR SOUNDS GOOD TO ME, JUS MAKE SUR U WAVE TH’MURKIN FLAG AND CALL THEM LIBRALS FAGS WHILE YER AT IT
Could you point to a—
No. That’s literally the farthest they’ve cared to explore such claims. “I heard it once, that’s good enough for me”
Well, it’s clearly not whoever’s in the bottom frame because his shoe doesn’t even have a raised heel and it’s bent too far back. But the NEXT person with a 90 degree foot is almost surely your man, by all odds.
