Pick up a barely affordable hobby and never get good at it.

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

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

[–] peppersky@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago

enjoy the indescribable inexplicable strangeness of being anything at all

despair at what capitalism has done to this world and our singular existence

flip between these two ever more rapidly

[–] sharkfucker420@lemmy.ml 11 points 10 months ago

Love deeply

[–] TrashGoblin@hexbear.net 11 points 10 months ago (1 children)

The same as the rest of us. Suffer.

[–] blight@hexbear.net 10 points 10 months ago (1 children)

But how can I monetize that?

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.

Learn to hack, learn to drone/quadcopter.

[–] blight@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

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

Learn to do at least one thing well

[–] hexbee@hexbear.net 9 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] blight@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)
[–] hexbee@hexbear.net 12 points 10 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] blight@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago (1 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?

[–] hexbee@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Why not, here's another one: You be good, I love you.

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

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I can't relate, it's just what I dream

[–] BigLenin@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You can do it, I believe in you

[–] SkingradGuard@hexbear.net 6 points 10 months ago

I really can't, but thanks for the vote of confidence

[–] Clippy@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago (1 children)

i'm kind of curious, were you like one of those dude who read "the game" or did it more or less come naturally to you?

[–] BigLenin@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

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

[–] WhatDoYouMeanPodcast@hexbear.net 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

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.

[–] axont@hexbear.net 7 points 10 months ago

you should eat a pop-tart if you are able and if you want but it's ok if you don't

Grind as hard as possible

[–] tactical_trans_karen@hexbear.net 5 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Careful, you might end up trans!

[–] Florist@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago

Look deep into your heart. You already know the answer

[–] CDommunist@hexbear.net 3 points 10 months ago
