If you wanna do X, practice X. In fitness, for almost anything, there’s an easy version of the thing. In this case, negative pullups.

I think if you shared one picture, you would have saved paragraphs of text you didn’t have to write and so much back and forth in the comments, as everyone doesn’t understand what you’re asking.

Sounds like they’re adding microtransactions, buy your pack of 500 jumps, get 100 vaults for free! Also Denuvo.

At that point, you’re just not fitting in with most humans anymore. Doesn’t really have anything to do with the internet.

I have had the same feelings as you. For me, the internet has now become more of a way for sharing my own answers with other people, rather than pure consumption. Just re-read what you wrote, imagining the opposite. Imagine if all content on the internet was filled by people like you. Someone who doesn’t fall into mental pitfalls. Who is happy. And so on. Wouldn’t that be an internet you’d again like to participate in?

I don’t post everywhere. I post where I think my truth is worthwhile for others to read. As I hope this truth right here is worthwhile to read for you.

What I’m saying is, maybe it’s not time to ditch the internet, maybe it’s just time to use it differently.

Also, even though the internet is filled with a lot of shit, through a rationality filter you can still get good tidbits out of it. Just gotta take the good and leave the bad.

If only I knew where to buy filters in Germany. All I can find is replacement filters for all kinds of air purifiers. I can’t imagine that they aren’t marked up compared to “generic” filters.

I meant you wouldn’t have to work as hard as normal jobs if you are top 0.01% beautiful, not that you can’t make money unless you are. If you aren’t top 0.01%, you’ll have to do lots of work to make money.

Why scary? Wouldn’t it be good if the human population didn’t increase more?

It’s not a contest…

They can do whatever shit they want with their instance and believe whatever they want. The software they make provably doesn’t have any more biases than any other software. As long as that’s the case, I’m fine.

It’s actually extremely hard to earn money with OnlyFans. You’re not the first one to get the idea. There’s massive competition and if you’re not seriously willing to do a lot of marketing (which basically means going on social media and messaging thirsty dudes/people and being flirty with them), you’re only going to earn peanuts if anything at all.

Unless you’re really top 0.01% beautiful, but yeah as you see that’s unlikely.

It’s basically as much work as any other job, so yeah, might as well do any other job.

Did you try being bored by it? “Oh it’s one of those nightmares again, let’s get it over with. Where is the monster chasing me? Ah, there it comes, yes, eat me, I’m so scared, aaaah”

I never had such extreme episodes but enough that I did actually get bored by them.

What’s important to say is that I was a very anxious person, scared of everything. I did decide to start confronting my fears and getting rid of them. Part of it was accepting the fears and just letting myself be scared without the judgement of fear being bad. Accepting the fear as part of myself and my psyche. Getting bored of nightmares definitely coincided somewhere around that time.

So yeah, I would suggest working to solve your issues in waking life.

There are a lot of people that are against not having to work. All people that own capital, which is not only the super rich. They might not want to work themselves, but they definitely want it to be generally the case that people should have to work to survive. And many people without capital that are brainwashed by these kinds of people, also want it to be necessary.

Wtf kind of comic is this anyway

Even with context?

I literally have a rpi4 and just put libreELEC on it

But yeah that’s the thing, even you call it “trained” sociopathy. I.e. everyone else could be trained into it as well. Of course that wouldn’t happen because people are different, we can’t predict everything yada yada. If you grow up with awareness about richness and the good of socialism, communism and so on it’s more unlikely you make the same mistakes and so on.

But if you’re extremely poor and have a mindset of “oh I just have to work hard and then be rich eventually” and actually aspire to be rich, which a lot a lot of people do, then I think those will quickly become exactly the same as current rich people. The reason the system still works is because there are still a majority of people believing in it and supporting it. Those poorer people would, if they became rich, be essentially the same kind of rich person as current rich people.

But if the birth isn’t today, the pregnancy might as well not exist. I mean of course the physical disadvantages of having a big belly are relevant, but the baby isn’t, it can’t do anything, it will never be born

But… Why would anyone do that?

Sure, people might try it out more because of the “apparent” lack of consequences… But the reason we humans don’t do violent shit isn’t because of things, it’s because of other humans, and they remain exactly the same.

If one person turns out to be a murderous maniac, the people around them would probably band together and take them out at the start of the loop, effectively being a very real consequence you’d wish to avoid.

What changes though is only your current external situation not relating to humans is staying the same. Everyone can still continue to grow and go to therapy, learn more about themselves and the world. This is basically almost completely still the real world. Most changes a human notices is the humans around them changing, not the walls of the apartment. Relationships still evolve, breakups happen, new love can be found. Science can still continue, we can use human memory and the internet to collect and analyze data. Instead of amassing physical wealth we might amass knowledge.

There’s so much narrative around current society how AI is terrible for taking jobs away.

That’s the entire point! That’s good! We’re supposed to not need to do anything anymore with advancing technology.

The problem isn’t that technology takes jobs away, the problem is that the savings are converted into more profit for the ultra rich, while it should be converted into having to work less for everyone.

Then we agree. It just sounded like you somehow attributed more inherent evilness to them than everyone else. I of course agree that the resulting behavior is worse, but mostly by accident through the situations they’ve been in.
