Man Wishes He Was Dumb Enough to Be Happy All the Time
(thehardtimes.net)
This is truth, not satire.
And yet the jester is usually the wisest in the court.
Wisecracking isn't the same as being happy
Smart enough to realize everything is shit is a real debilitating condition and honestly, one doesn't haven't to be very smart to realize that.
Felt this since I was a child.
I don't remember being interviewed.
That's because you're a dumbass. Happy now?
You know what? Yes, yes I am!
I often also feel this way, although I also look at a lot of voting-aged people in the US and realize that being that dumb usually just means you are angry all the time.
I don't recall giving consent to writing a story about my life.....
It's me. I'm the man.
We are all you on this not so blessed day.
Have you tried watching Rick and Morty?
Have you tried idolizing osaka from azumanga daioh?
and that's how folks transition into puppygirls.
Oh good, I was hoping to find a transition comment here as I felt the same way for a long time 😅
And I want to make it clear I'm not even complaining OR criticizing! XD
It's wholesome in a peculiar way: people who want to embrace simple joy, and to love others with the same unbridled enthusiasm as dogs do? That's beautiful and sweet deep down at the heart of it.
Even though I KNOW that for many it's a "sex thing"... Honestly so what. Anyone who doesn't like it can choose to do literally anything else with their time.
I've stopped caring about pointless judgement, moralizing pearl clutching hand wringing self-righteous hysterical theatrics... What a waste of time and energy when instead happiness is actually an option.
Maybe it's jealousy. How dare someone be happy, right? Whatever! Let them be goodgirls. There are few things more harmless than that.
I don't think I could ever play the role of an "owner" (apparently that's a thing) but I'm happy when I see them, in the same way I'm happy when I see dogs. Because I see dogs.
I mean, for most of petplay people I know it's much more of an everyday thing than a sex thing. Which makes sense, since that's generally more of a furry thing. It's less about being an animal and more about being someone's pet, very gentle sub and dom stuff. There's a good tumblr post
petplay? oh you mean that kink for burnt-out neurodivergent people with abandonment issues who need simple easy directions and assurance that the person giving them will still be there at the end of the night. yeah i got you i know what you're talking about
And like, mood.
Oh no worries I just meant in general since I always felt like being smart sucked and I felt miserable about it, and then I transitioned haha
i've heard that too, and witnessed it happen to loved ones, that transitioning not only brightened their lives but also made them more themselves. My best friend who got married just two weeks ago, when I met her back in 2012 she had been so withdrawn and downtrodden, and it seemed like nothing any of our other friends were capable of doing could make her feel better. But then after embracing who she is, and actually BECOMING herself... she's so vibrant now! Her artistic talent blossomed too - and the fella she married, also an artist, they make gorgeous pieces together.
(it's furry smut though so definitely not for everyone X3)
This hit me at my core.
Some days it feels like it would be easier to take a ball peen hammer to my prefrontal cortex than deal with the rest of my species.
He just like me fr
Is the intelligent thing not to be to recognise when things are out of your control and put them out of your mind
Depends on the reaching of the action, even if the event was out of their control but going to impact them, say an invasion or war breaking out at their location it'd be warranted. However in a general sense I agree, it causes undue stress if there's nothing directly they can change.
People thinking like that is how we get some people fighting for rights, the current fight may not directly impact them but they can see how it'll impact things in the near future when more rights are changed. I mostly agree with not adding undue stress but sometimes it can be difficult to know when it's undue or warranted because it can happen quickly once the ball starts rolling.
Putting things out of your mind doesn't mean you can't take action though
If the only reasonable thing I can do to make a change to a situation is to cast a vote there's no point worrying about it until I actually have the opportunity to do that
I see what you're saying, when you said put it out of your mind it more sounded like forget about it, which isn't helpful when people see a problem, but you have to know what you can reasonably impact. There is usually more that can be done but time and money are limited. Many people don't have the time to campaign for ideas which in itself is an issue with the way things are run in my opinion.
I do find it crazy that despite all the technological advancement to save everyone time we just ended up spending all that free time working
I'm too dumb to be happy!
I've seen this on an episode of House MD
I feel seen!
*any of the time ftfy
"Better to be an animal than a man, an insect than an animal, a plant than an insect, and so on.
Salvation? Whatever diminishes the kingdom of consciousness and compromises its supremacy."
Yup.
Hey welcome to the fediverse!
Thanks! I almost know what that means!
I don’t know what it means yet too but you are welcome :D
Dumb people are not happy most of the time. They're perpetually angry and afraid because rich people manipulate them to be that way
