Ask Lemmy

Everything is cyclical. Its cycles all the way down..

Art. I found some cheap acrylic glitter paint I bought a while back and I’ve been making sparkly erotic paintings. Some mixed media with mutilated copies of mass market christian books, random wooden trays. I have a bunch of leftover scraps of t-shirt from making yarn and other fabric remnants, so I make quilts.

I wake up.

We are living in the most developed and peaceful tunes/times. Our great grandparents did not have antibiotics, child mortality was very high. Around 150 years ago, slavery and serfdom was hapenning, so instead of staring itno Outlook or Teams, you would be doing life crushing and dehumanising work. Much off the stuff that was out of reeach by lower or middle class is much more affordable today, even basic stuff such as meat was scarce in my grand parents time (ussr). 100 years ago most people saw only around 30 km around their land, or as much as horse could walk in a day, but now traveling is very affordable. I am hopeful that besides all the political crap we are moving towards even more developed future

I wish there was something.

Movies to watch, games to play, drugs to try, not much else

i don't know. i might have a dark sense of humor, or maybe i am just a bad person, so the world goes to shit is somewhat amusing to watch. which is a terrible thing to say, because so so many people will be/is suffering because of all this.

My existence being a constant thorn on the side of basically evil person on the planet

(Im queer btw)

"Keeps"?

Someone is making a lot of assumptions about how the last decade of being terminally online has gone that reality isn't willing to sustain.

The drive for freedom of the living can not be stopped. Only temporary measures are possible against it.

Space exploration. It feels like the one awesome thing humanity is doing right now. Also maybe the most important thing humans are doing right now.

My life is pretty easy all things considered, so it's hard to lose hope in my own future wellbeing... When it comes to the destiny of the world, I have more or less lost hope for at least many regions of the world, and believe their self-destruction (which will also cause pain and suffering to others, ofc) is inevitable and perhaps necessary for the human race as whole. Hopefully the world isn't completely fucked, but if it is, well then... "we" made our bed so now we have to lie in it? And, of course, the most important pillar of my emotional stability when everything seems dark is my belief in God and the Day of Judgment, and going to sleep every night knowing I did my best, I controlled my impulses and treated people politely and generously. I know many of you think it's nonsense and won't even give it a try but the benefits for any deeply existential and sensitive person are undeniable, I'd say. 👍

I hope the children of the future

Yesterday i would have said my strenght but...all now just started crumbling. Every aspect of my life exept my work

!hopeposting@lemmy.world and self-brainmanipulation

To hope is to be disappointed. Embrace depressive realism.

Progress in AI. The sooner we build a machine god to judge us, the better. But seriously, it's exciting to see something so new and different being built at a time when so much human effort is dedicated to destruction.
