Found a woman that is exactly as weird and different as I am, which I thought was impossible, I was already fine with staying romantically alone my whole life :)

Which is easily possible, just eat no fiber. Astronauts do it to create no waste.

Don’t know what it has to do with my comment though, yours should be a standalone reply to this topic?

I think “enough” is when you don’t have to worry about water, food and shelter.

I have roughly enough to pay for these things, a little more, can get internet and a few euros each month for random luxury stuff.

I earned more before, but I reduced the hours in my job severely so I get to this money state. I like the reduced hours more than having more money.

So yeah for me, idk what everyone’s talking about, there’s definitely an “enough”. Of course, more is also “nice” but “enough” is when you survive with a little bit over.

Of course, like others say, for most people there is not an “enough”, they keep wanting more. It depends on the individuals. I have a bunch of friends who are friends because they think like me. But I can’t be friends with most of the population because they can’t get enough.

Famous people are mostly famous exactly because they can’t get enough. No one works that much, tries to acquire status that much, if they are satisfied eventually. Because when you would be satisfied, you stop chasing more fame, not getting to a level that we would call “famous”.

It’s actually pretty simple (but not easy at all)… You start actually believing that other people can’t hurt you. That is pretty much all there is to it. (Not quite, will explain later).

You simply don’t give that power to people. I love my spouse. But my spouse cheats on me. Now I could be hurt by the betrayal… But why? What is the benefit for me? I don’t need to feel hurt to know that my spouse is not worth keeping around, to be my spouse anymore.

If other people do something bad to me, that is not on me, it’s their problem. They’re evil/unaware/selfish. It’s no reflection on the quality of person I am. Thus when someone does something bad to me, it’s honestly just good to know. I can decide how bad I think it is and react accordingly. But feeling hurt by it is not really required in that process.

As I said at the beginning, “not quite”, there are a whole bunch of other beliefs attached to/required by this. For example, I believe that everything is temporary, or at least that the chance of something permanent (really, temporary until end of life) being low. I don’t expect to be together with my spouse to the end of time - if it happens though, I have nothing against it. I believe that change is fine, and I look forward to it: If my spouse cheats on me, I can experience no partner for a while or forever, or experience looking for a new one, both things are fine with me. And so on. Basically all my beliefs are set up in a way that I’m fine with whatever happens.

(The only exception is extreme, or lasting physical harm and death. I can’t experience anything “normally” anymore when these happen to me. Some disabilities could be fine, but I probably have a limit of how much I could be affected. Losing all movement in all my limbs could be fine, but I’m not sure. Losing an arm or a leg or hearing or similar severeness I could probably be fine with.)

Now the thing is, changing your entire belief system to be fine with pretty much anything is not something people are either willing or able to do. I did it though and think that theoretically everyone can do it.

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ I guess that’s why it’s a hot take. I think it’s possible without becoming a recluse

Other people shouldn’t be able to hurt you, non-physically.

Most important here is the dabbing.

Yep I’m somehow in a reality where everyone is loved by Crackhappy, but no one I know knows about this.

Also what no one has said yet, if you put two identical people next to each other, same mindset, same character, same visuals etc etc, but the one is wealthy and the other is poor, for 99% of people the wealthier one is more sexually attractive. Our brains view access to resources as a desirable quality.

And so, why would a rom com that is literally supposed to be about attractive people, make them purposefully less attractive? There’s basically no reason.

Huh I thought I’ve been downloading stuff with ipfs from them the whole time

Honestly I can’t see why you’d choose average, non-wealthy. If you want quiet and peaceful, you’re sure to get it when wealthy, just pay for a large residence and security on the outskirts, then stay inside. Use disguises/body doubles when going out. Except for a little organizational overhead, which you can also pay people to do for you, you can have everything you want when you’re famous and wealthy.

I have no idea how selection works anywhere else, since I only ever used gimp.

For me, I don’t understand this meme, selection seems to work very intuitively, it seems to do what I expect it to do.

I usually have so little oil left I just put enough dish soap in that it all mixes with water… Does that still clog my pipes?

Forget that, you guys have a stove or a barbecue? I have no place to burn anything

Yeah just physically opening the case and unplugging the battery. Idk, I just read MacBook Pro, I never had a Mac because I hate the company partly because of their non-repairability, so maybe you can’t even take the battery out without dissolving some glue or some shit. For all the laptops I had so far, it was just unscrewing some screws and then you can unscrew/unplug/replace the components within.

You could try to uninstall the battery and just put an AC cable in. My laptop works like that.

I block ads specifically so websites that rely on ads as revenue die.

I want businesses relying on ads to die though. Doesn’t work if too few people use adblockers.
