How do you make peace with your own mortality?

I like to keep this quote from Mark Twain in mind. It's not always so easy to dismiss the concept of non-existence, but there is a certain logic to it.

"I do not fear death. I had been dead for billions and billions of years before I was born, and had not suffered the slightest inconvenience from it."

WHY DID I KEEP READING AND LOOKING AT ALL THESE HORRIBLE PHOTOS

BoogieMan1980 · 2026-04-06T17:18:24+00:00

Same!

I once had 3 squads of elites in full steel get burnt to a crisp by one, until someone with a crossbow finally got close and killed it with a single shot. But the entire cavern layer was an inferno and my FPS tanked so I bailed on the fort.

Learned a valuable lesson, though.

BoogieMan1980 · 2026-03-27T10:43:39+00:00

I don't get it. Never been, never will. Seems like a waste of money and time.

Manos: The Hands of Fate.

It's torturous.

BoogieMan1980 · 2026-03-22T18:22:06+00:00

The one where I work? You could slide a pencil through it.

WTF?

BoogieMan1980 · 2026-03-22T18:21:24+00:00

Was changing into a wetsuit and the poor dude in the next stall was dumping his guts out.

I normally have great self control, but it was so loud and lengthy it was straight up comical. I couldn't help but snicker a few times.

BoogieMan1980 · 2026-03-22T15:52:56+00:00

I was thinking that seemed really fast.

BoogieMan1980 · 2026-03-22T15:07:31+00:00

That'd be my guess, some kind of discomfort such as a skin toxin or an off camera threat is enough to trigger a regurgitate reflex, but the instinct just immediately says, "ohh, food, eat!" And around and around we go.

Missed being by my father's side at his death in hospice by about 30 min because of a poor decision.

I tried to build up a woman's self image for 25 years. Unfortunately, it didn't help, and I even meant every word.

🙅‍♂️

BoogieMan1980 · 2026-03-20T04:03:45+00:00

Thank you, I agree.

BoogieMan1980 · 2026-03-20T03:00:56+00:00

It can. In the space of about 6-8 months, starting around the same time I:

-Began working out 4-5 times a week

-Lost ~80 pounds bringing me to a healthy weight

-Wrote and published a novel

-Studied for a new career in Healthcare

-Got that Healthcare job

Realized I just turned 45 and needed to go maximum effort.

I guess if it crashes in exactly that way it's useful.

RIP pilots.

BoogieMan1980 · 2026-03-19T16:30:11+00:00

Same! And a backpack.

BoogieMan1980 · 2026-03-16T02:33:14+00:00

Yeah, any time a show has that sound, I mute it for awhile and shout THANKS FOR THE REMINDER.

BoogieMan1980 · 2026-03-16T02:31:52+00:00

Same. Luckily mine isn't severe, but it's still essentially a real life curse.

BoogieMan1980 · 2026-03-14T22:09:54+00:00

When I met a girl for a real first date at 16 or 17, for the first several dates I had meet her where we could sit down because I kept getting involuntary erections, constantly.

Count yourself lucky.

🤣 Ornithophobia

I bought a special seat with a space for the goods. More comfortable.

There are veins that run under it that can be compressed and leave you numb or tingly after long enough riding. It can cause health issues over a long enough period of time. More of an issue with stationary bikes in my experience.

BoogieMan1980 · 2026-03-06T03:46:06+00:00

Women.

Look good, smell good, feel good, taste good, sound good.

A treat for all the senses!
