the 1992 film version with gary sinise and john malkovich (and  sherilyn fenn ) was pretty well regarded and is largely true to the book

I used to do this 50/50 soft/liquid paraffin and that defo works as a good treatment but lanolin stuff is better imo

lanolin is good at keeping rust off stuff too, so smear it on metal stuff you gotta leave outside.

Judging whether life is or is not worth living amounts to answering the fundamental question of philosophy. All the rest—whether or not the world has three dimensions, whether the mind has nine or twelve categories—comes afterwards. These are games; one must first answer. And if it is true, as Nietzsche claims, that a philosopher, to deserve our respect, must preach by example, you can appreciate the importance of that reply, for it will precede the definitive act. These are facts the heart can feel; yet they call for careful study before they become clear to the intellect.

MononcQc posted:I get the joke, but even just the start is very good real good. believe me I know! I read Man’s Search For Meaning like 12 years ago while in therapy because I do consider that to be the most important matter. but I also remain stunned at Frankl’s tenacity; I’d be dead so loving quick in the camps. and even now I constantly choose comfort over meaning, because trying to generate meaning doesn’t pay well in our society and also I don’t get the dopamine or whatever hit of accomplishment. I show someone a working service, or a woodworking project and I just think jesus that was a lot of work for very little. so I’m stuck and just keep drifting through the weeks trying not to get fired and continue to anesthetize myself with weed or drinking or video games and oh poo poo this got too serious real fast thanks for the recommendation. always liked Camus.
