Is her case severe enough to where she feels remorse? The thing is, there are plenty of people who have gotten covid from being reckless, but still don’t feel any differently about it because their experience was similar to a bad cold. Like “sure it was worth it to take that vacation because I only got the sniffles…

“You’re most likely mad at yourself for denying yourself the pleasures that someone else enjoyed.”

You’re most likely mad at yourself for denying yourself the pleasures that someone else enjoyed.

The amount of absolute caution required of us all to avoid contracting COVID-19 is impossible to maintain. You have to go outside. You have to eat. You have to meet your delivery person. It’s impossible. I feel like starting there can help people establish a little bit more empathy.

All of these Trumpers melting down because they are facing legal consequences of an attempted coup need to quit their bitching. When you attempt a coup, you do it with the understanding that things will go very badly for you if you fail. They’re lucky they live in a country that will give them their day in court.…

Look, his religion demands he claims he’s being persecuted but he’s advantaged in every possible way. What else is a poor wealthy white male evangelical supposed to do but lash out at mask laws?

Don’t feel bad. I had to look it up just now.

Kinda the same as shiny hunting though isn’t it?

I think that the key question is simply: “Did he enjoy doing this?” Time spent in an enjoyable manner is never sad or wasted (at least from an Epicurean or Hedonistic standpoint). If he hated doing it and did it just for the accomplishment, then I would call it sad. I think we’ve all had our moments when we were…

I think he posted on Reddit at some point a while back that he mostly does this to relax while watching TV or something and has other characters.

And yet, this act has just as much meaning as anything else he could be doing with his limited time. And he’ll end up in the exact same place at the end of his life we all do. Dead, with all of it forgotten.

Well, there’s no reason to fuck after you did your primal instinct of procreating and/or can no longer do so. (Plus humanity, being so-called intelligent, doesn’t even need to procreate mindlessly anymore) Nor does it make much sense to masturbate. Yet, humanity does it. And it does it far more emotionally and…

Some people find things like this meditative and relaxing, I do sometimes - rewarding, even. While the achievement for it is just like everybody else’s, it carries a certain weight that, while silly to you or me, obviously means something to him.

I would argue it’s more impressive, if not all that exciting.

That’s true of any leisure activity. Not everyone wants to write the next great novel or treat lepers in their free time. 

It does.

We do not live in a just world.

People don’t get everything from doing nothing. They get everything by putting in time to stream, which they have to do regularly and at great expense to other things they could be doing.

Best to never buy a Ubisoft game game full price anyway. They always go on sale within a month or two.
