i would recommend being preoccupied with the idea that it doesn't really matter what you do because that's done wonders for me so far dean-neutral

But if I’m going to be gay, I have to transition first, which seems like more than a minor inconvenience. thonk-trans

Already did various crimes, but what do I have to show for it? agony-limitless

Love deeply

Fall in love. Treat that person with honor and adoration.

Join a communist party. Dedicate yourself to the work and your comrades.

Spend time in nature. Cultivate a love and understanding of the world's endless wonders.

Be the friend who sends invitations instead of waiting to receive them.

The same as the rest of us. Suffer.

I'll back this up. Being a huge slut was the best thing I did with my 20s.

Nah I just lived in a city with an art school and went to a lot of shows.

This is too close to g*ming for comfort, sorry gamer-gulag

I like to think of life as a 6.5/10 rated rail shooter with rougelike elements. Like clearly the gameplay loop needs work so I wouldn't care that much about anything that's not the other people doing multiplayer.

When you're able to choose, you should always err towards doing something and the something you choose should be what's immediately exciting to you. You should set aside time and energy for people who share your values because 99/100 of them are autobattling through their encounter with you. I wouldn't get too emotionally invested in the rougelike elements. Unless you're following a guide you're probably going to frustrate yourself trying to go infinite; you're likely choosing between a 10% boost and a 9.7% boost. And ultimately, I'd err towards dedicating myself to something as opposed to floating around even when it gets tough.

I hear that birding is pretty fun. Maybe try that. Binoculars aren't hard to come by.

It's the sectet third thing. I can't tell you what it is though, it's secret.

Hint: being a cop is NOT the secret thing. Hope that helps

[–] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago (3 children)

Damn thanks, you helped me dodge a bullet there wowee

Surely you wouldn’t want me to keep stumbling into another comparably awful trap? Surely you will keep providing hints?
