Drunk/High/Sober Venting Thread

Combining weird tones in music with the fatherhood theme. In addition to this being a dad with his kid, this video was brought to my attention by my kid.

But what about the ones that cannot exist. Do they still exist in the realm of things that don’t exist?

I’m not a philosopher but I’d say no. Nonexistant numbers are nowhere existant. But I better have another glass of wine to be sure.

Sending some love man. I’ve been having similar thoughts, like it’s all been downhill for me since March 8th. That’s the day that if a piano fell on my head it might have been a blessing. But hopefully we get lucky.

This is a drunk/high rant category and not the sober category.

Fuck facebook. Fuck instagram. I can’t browse more than 5 minutes on either platform without seeing:

outright racist comments
outright anti-science comments
comments accusing left wingers of being antifa terorrists
something something 5g

Like what the fuck man. When did the country become so collectively stupid? I can’t even fight back anymore. I’m genuinely exhausted. I’ve been doing it for 4 years now. Nothing I post seems to make a fucking difference, no matter how many people I embarrass or destroy it cannot possibly be enough. There’s hundreds and thousands more to take their place. I was thinking for a minute that the voice was changing - that people were starting to smell common sense again. But since covid it’s just taken a sharp backslide.

The amount of people with their heads up their ass is tremendous. I can’t deal with it anymore. People I once respected are exposing themselves as total asshats. People I didn’t respect are destroying reality one dumbass piece at a time.

Fuck social media and its part in this. I swear people have just given up on critical thinking. Thanks zuck, you fucking weirdo. Thanks to all the people that spread misinformation. Thanks trump. Thanks, anti-science anti-common sense anti-human-decency wing of society. You’ve won.

Fuck it all.

(I’d like to think I am exaggerating, but fuck. West coast sky is fucking orange from climate change. We have a pandemic wrecking us. Trump shouldn’t more than a .0001% chance of winning reelection in a sane world. But fuck)

I assume you are suggesting that intelligent societies destroy themselves too quickly to spread amongst the galaxy, thus explaining the paradox?

We’re probably witnessing that.

Yep, that is is what I was suggesting.

Not much to say other than love all of y’all, keep your heads up.

How I recently described it to someone else who was despairing at the state of the planet/world - How lucky are we, really? Of all the generations that have ever existed before us, we may be witnessing the tail end of it. And not only that we’ll probably die before it ever gets to the point of human extinction. We might be the last of When It Was Good.

I mean, it sucks for humanity or whatever, but it’s a wild ride we’re privileged to witness. No one else in human history has had to face this current scenario. What’s the doomsday clock at, like half a minute? I say we’re lucky because we’ll probably all be mostly fine, it’s just the next few generations that are completely fucked. That’s why I will never willingly have kids.

The pain you left behind has become a part of me.
And it’s burned out a hole where my love used to be.

Man, what a lyric. Linda really sells it.

I told my father as much on his deathbed. I kind of regret that. I’ve certainly had second thoughts since then. And there is someone I love and would have happily had kids with. But she had better options. And man, I wish her well, but it hurts.

Every day I more and more see Ozymandias as the hero of The Watchmen

God it was released in 86. The idea of one single 100x 9/11 death event being caused by an ā€œalienā€ to bring the world together. Sick to say it, but I’d take it. Seeing how COVID is already there and we are more split than ever. Fuck.

I was thinking ā€œhe wouldn’t be saying that if he had kidsā€ up to the last line.

Doubt it.

Dude. Please don’t make me cry. I’m going to finish this glass and go to bed. Thanks, though.

man, not to get too personal itt, but I kind of have felt a similar pain. I don’t know your experience or what it was like but I really loved a girl and we got pregnant at the end and she aborted our kid pretty far along into the pregnancy. I have always felt since then like that was my shot and I missed it. I was too broken and damaged and young to really properly manage that relationship and it became a big mess.

But honestly today I feel so much stronger and better for the experience and I’m in such a good place in my life that I feel without that experience I wouldn’t have gotten to where i am now. So I am thankful for it. I hope you get to that place eventually.

Dude’s talents was wasted in the 80s
