That’s fair.

I’m of the worldview that while technically there is no “meaning,” doesn’t mean there’s no effect (even if it’s infinitesimal). Just because there’s no purpose in pushing a ball across a table, it still moves when you touch it.

It also places, in philosophical framing, that humans are the creators and arbiters of the concept of our own “meaning.” The fact that we ask of it, and in some cases find there is no such thing from external forces, suggests that it comes from us. However you go from there is the beauty of the notion.

Bit of a side tangent lol but thank you for sharing and engaging :) /gen

Meaning: try to do no harm, give love where I can, and hopefully leave the world a little better where I touched upon.

Why I keep living (bit of a TW):

Also experiencing video games.

Oh wtf :( people’s cruelty and ignorance knows no bounds.

Here I thought it was because their little natural red carapace spots look “painted” on.

That would be Onan, found in Genesis chapter 38.

So this is what the Mutual Aid fairy looks like

Volunteer, hands down. Local community stuff, create something akin to a co-op public broadcasting channel, spend time with my animals, bake and donate goods.

Am I the only one who prefers face-to-face over everything else?

It’s the only form of comms where I have all the information/cues to interpret, and no bullshit lag.

1. In person - all cues, real time.

2. Text - verbal comms, gives me a chance to read. No body language or tone to glean from though.

3. I hate audio calls because I’m hard of hearing, sound quality is shit and I can’t lip read or respond on my own time.

4. Video is somehow worse since now two sensory inputs are fucked due to awful stream quality/lag and my usual methods of trying to understand what’s said are shot. Worse, people expect it to be “better” because I can see now and it makes me angrier. 🙃

It’s like an autobiographical Calvin & Hobbes (meant as a compliment)
