  • No, I was genuinely guessing at what you were getting at, since you were alluding to one particular unnamed nation that relies heavily on slave labor. IDK if you opened that article, but it’s from last month and is a major report by the AP, so US slave labor’s been on my mind because I read the news.

    You then seemingly got annoyed at my guess and decided it was some sort of debate. I pointed out why my guess was reasonable and now you’re trying to take a victory lap because I apparently annoyed you by not being a goddamn mind reader.

    Seriously, you’re acting like I’m the one with the attitude here and all I’ve done is reflect yours back to you in one comment because you acted like I don’t know what slavery is. But I’m the one being an asshole?













  • Nihilist here. Everyone acts like it’s sad or depressing (or fully unhinged/hedonistic), but I’ve personally found it to be freeing.

    All meaning is a subjective experience, a transient feeling/thought combination. In other words, an illusion. A pile of chemicals and neural connections that can be synthesized in a relatively formulaic way, just look at pop music, romance novels, action movies, etc.

    I still have ideals, personal convictions, opinions, hopes and dreams, I’m just no longer caught up in the illusion that any of it objectively matters, regardless of how I feel.

    We’re just smart meat puppets, and that’s OK.
