The average is 5.5? I thought it was 4. This is very unsettling.
The real lesson of this crib universe is that the realm of the gods is fraught with even deeper and more timeless ignorance, despair and suffering.

I’m in the same house where my mother died. I remember staying with her for the couple weeks prior to her death. She was bed-ridden, and i spent most of my days and nights either on the couch beside her or in my room. It was always noisy. There was a humidifier running, oxygen tanks going, muted television voices and static in the background, moans…and the beeping.

The beeping would not go away, and originated from the freezer for some reason and could not be disabled. So there was an endless beeping akin to a heart-rate machine. It would drive my mother crazy and every so often would burst out of bed to beat on the freezer or fiddle with the controls. She was powerless and dying, but occasionally forgot that and tried to rebel as she always did.

And it depressed me, because even in her dying moments she couldn’t have something as simple as a little quiet. She never had anything in her life. She was abused, uneducated, thrown aside, and died young. She was the epitome of the struggles of the south; the struggles of the poor. Stoic in the face of nothing, even in the end she was shafted once more by the constant reminder of time. Why didn’t i try to look it up online? Why didn’t i just start unscrewing things until it stopped beeping? Why did everyone let her suffer and why did we ignore her needs?

It’s still beeping. Some 4 years later, and the freezer still beeps incessantly. I thought of looking it up tonight, avenging my mother in some sort. But i won’t. Nobody will stop that beeping.

you can actually inflate your scrote pretty safely with sterile saline, syringes, needles, and aseptic technique. its a niche kink iirc

the saline just slowly gets absorbed into your blood but in the meantime you got a big round smooth distended nutsack

'A little quiet' is not as simple as you'd think.

Peace be with us all.

gently caress yeah! That poo poo is hella gay! I do my best to not go more than a couple days without sleep if I'm on the upswing these days. Sticking to a daily bedtime like clockwork really helps. I've been bad with that the last few weeks and welp my head is getting a little wonky. Back to Spartan discipline. I enjoy an emotionally balanced, rationally-thinking view of the abyss, TYVM.

i like to spice up my life every now and then with a good couple days of the ol' psychosis. really takes the existential ennui out of life, yknow?

My kid was complaining about some other kid calling him names, so I reminded him that in 100 years they would both be dead and none of that poo poo would matter, so maybe just punch the kid in his goddamn face or ignore him, whatever he prefers.

He didn't take it well, I don't know if he's ready for the realness.

Classy.

kids don't usually do nihilism well unless they've been massively abused. you have to wait until they're old enough that all their dreams have been crushed by the reality of life before they can appreciate the philosophy

Next time someone dies next to a beeping freezer unplug it maybe? Oh mom's dying in the next room but these two slices of chocolate cake are irreplaceable.

A friend of mine died today. He was in the late stages of alcoholism and I had been his support up until a couple months ago when the strain started dragging me down with him. The silent black embrace of the grave is a comfort.
