Left: AI sucks. It kills the planet. It’s anti-art. Go fuck yourself.

Yep, that’s all it is. Desire is the cause of suffering.

Which isn’t to say you should never desire anything. Just know the price and choose.

The difference is changing your mind.

That’s exactly the point. I’m not upset because I don’t expect people online to have any sort of sense. I adjusted that expectation long ago and I’m much happier for it.

But you seem to be assuming that I’m saying everyone should just drop their expectations and be happy. That’s not what I’m saying. I’m saying that suffering is caused by desire. So if you can reduce your desire, you can reduce your suffering.

But many times you can’t, or shouldn’t, reduce your desire. I won’t ever desire to be okay with what’s happening in my country, for example. I choose to be unhappy with it.

So choose to be fucking unhappy. It’s okay to be unhappy. I’m not going to judge you for it.

This, but unironically. People suck, give me distance. I’ll let the lawn die.

I think they call it a nosebleed. Or something ridiculous sounding, like an old red snooty boot.

Bewitched was solid.

I can taste the cheap ass sweet tea from that pitcher.

Please. Stop. I can’t get any more erect.

So it’s basically a grilled cheese on a bun?

That sounds delicious.

People with trauma sometimes deal with it through gallows humor. That’s not childish.

It comes from the fact that the person I was replying to is basically saying to people who are possibly suicidal " you’re not serious because you’re not doing it."

Which is a very dick thing to say.
