I actively envy the stupid. Every day.

Imagine how life must be when your greatest concern is Disney or some social media drama. These people just float through the day entirely unbothered by the myriad of existential crises that are stalking them like prey.

They're aggressively wrong about so many things. And absolutely iron clad confident in their wrongness.

Being a cat would be nice, but I'd be happy just to have half their self-advocacy skills.

Me: "Um, hey, I am sorry to bother you, but could you scootch your chair a teeny bit? I need to get to the table behind you. Okay, a bit more. Just a smiiiidge more." Holds breath and squeezes by. "Okay, thank you! Sorry again for bothering you."

Meanwhile,

Cat: Pounces onto pillow at 5am "Wake up, bitch. It's time for my breakfast. Now I'm going to meow repeatedly into your face until you comply with my demands."

My cat learned she can wake me up instantly by scratching my face and neck in an unfriendly manner.

Cat: Pounces onto pillow at 5am “Wake up, bitch. It’s time for my breakfast. Now I’m going to meow repeatedly into your face until you comply with my demands.”

The solution to that is to make it very clear, from the beginning that you do not negotiate with terrorists but you do acknowledge her/him and return kindness with kindness. There's a reason my wife's relationship with our cat involves a lot more being bitten and meowed at until demands are met than mine does.

I don't know, man. Those folks sure seem unnecessarily angry about a lot of stupid shit.

[–] bryndos@fedia.io 24 points 9 hours ago

I'm not so sure about that. A lot of people seem to get very angry about things that I don't think matters, or they can't do anything about . . . oh hang on, I get it. You're talking about me aren't you?

Cypher was a prophet.

I'd rather be made sad by the truth than to not have it

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 3 points 7 hours ago

Why not be happy that you have the truth

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 7 points 7 hours ago (1 children)

You're not more intelligent than happy people

You could always slam your head into a wall until your critical thinking skills are gone. Though I suspect they might already be on the way out if you seriously consider this or go through with it.

[–] sexy_peach@feddit.org 2 points 7 hours ago

That's not going to make you happier

[–] PotatoesFall@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 hours ago

Interesting that the usernames are blurred. These look like public posts,I thought it's good practice to give credit?

if you believe this, you might be happy

Most of them are terrified. It's only their news sources that mislead them about the cause of their misery.
