  • After today learning that Lemmy.World is European run and does not support American-style free speech in quite interested in finding a new, American instance. However I DO NOT want to move to hex or some other instance affiliated with pro-fascist, religious, or right-wing propaganda or similar. If such exists I'd love to know which one it is.

  • Nobody has a purpose in life. Belief that life has a purpose is a creationist delusion created to try and comprehend and apply order to what is intrinsically chaotic and random, and to fight the anxiety that their fears induce.

    Your options are to choose one of the following:

    1. Acceptance. You can accept that life is meaningless and that it's okay. This one's my preference.
    2. Denial. You can deny life's meaninglessness and seek to find or create a purpose for yourself. This can range from something as simple as a hobby to as life changing as having a family or advocating for a cause.
    3. Embrasure. Revel in the chaos and express yourself through it, doing whatever you want without thought it care. This is best exemplified by the fictional character of the Joker.
    4. Oppression. Take up religion to crush understanding of reality and replace it with a delusion of supernaturally defined purpose. This is probably the most commonly used option, frequently forced upon people during childhood.
    5. Opposition. Attempt to fight the reality or mask the effects of meaninglessness through other means, such as direct therapy, chemical dependency (not recommended), talking with friends/family, or through other methods not previously mentioned.

    Understanding one's place in the universe (insignificant, irrelevant, and temporary speck) is important to having an accurate impression of ones existence. Whether one can accept that and what one do with that understanding is unique to the individual.

    I hope that helps - good luck.

  • The true War on Christmas is fight in solidarity with Halloween and Thanksgiving in an effort to push Christmas back over the November/December border. It's a just and noble war, one which I both advocate and fight in.

  • Apparently not advocating for spreading knowledge of jury nullification. Lemmy.World is (mostly) banning it and now I need to find a new instance because I consider that to be the endorsement of our (American) government's system of "bend over and take it."

  • This, but since these were expensive, lots of people bought cheaper, off-brand ones book-by-book at grocery stores over a period of 30+ weeks. We had a set growing up that my mother would pick up at whatever store we were going to, IDK, I was little.
