They couldn't loving cram me back in, OP. I was gnashing and fighting. I took out three male nurses before they took me down with the tranq gun.

I know what you did last summer, and frankly I am displeased.
Usually but at this moment I have a good chance at getting some dick from a dude that's way, way hotter than me

I'll probably go back to hating life right after I've had that dick or most likely fail to get that dick.

Being alive is more interesting than not. There's a lot of things that suck about life but the things that don't are pretty cool and I like being able to see more of those. :unsmith:

The universe is either random and stupid, or it’s a really careless mistake, but I’d rather be alive, even if it’s for nothing. Just hoping that it is, or eventually see things in a grander scheme; maybe when I die. Life is sometimes cool, but the thing that sucks is that the novelty mostly goes downhill as you age, and there’s a chance I could suffer really hard when I’m dying, and put up a good fight trying to live, and experience the very worst things imaginable until I give in with my last breath. Still worth it, but I’ve got to be proactive and keep expanding my horizons.

I'd rather not, OP. Alas I clearly didn't have much choice in that regard.

Albert Camus posted:

There is but one truly serious philosophical problem, and that
is suicide. 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

Camus more or less goes on to say that life is worth living and it's better to be alive than not be alive because life is pleasant and enjoyable in its immediate pleasures, but man it's a bleak book to read if you don't find much pleasure in your day to day goings-on.

If you have severe dysphagia to the point where you can't control your own saliva you start drowning on it and living in a state of being waterboarded 24/7, no amount of small joys and immediate pleasures will set that net experience to positive.

I'm not an anti-natalist because I believe negative utilitarianism benefits more from having a species aware of it and in the pursuit of minimizing pain, but good lord if I had never been born it would have been a net positive in subjective experience for the universe.
