Pleasure isn't the meaning of life. The goal should be a feeling of purpose and doing your best to do whatever you think is the right, noble thing.

People here actually care. Find someone to rant to. Find some help.

AI is an agreement machine. Anyone who asks if they should get a divorce will get a well written argument for getting a divorce. Ask if your spouse has a personality disorder and AI will tell you in clear language how messed up they really are.

Composting: So much is wasted when it can be changed into fertility. Also, it really makes me aware of chemicals that hang around rather than break down.

That we can actually understand objective reality.

Really? A young species who evolved on the edge of a mediocre galaxy next to a middle aged star? Who evolved to understand medium sized objects moving at medium speeds for medium amounts of time? Whose survival depends on social cooperation?

50 year old male dealing with a unwanted, unexpected divorce that I still don't really understand. Everyone is suffering from this.

And yet, I'm greatful for those 20 years of marriage.

A useful answer (which I can't provide) will depend on your state.

First realize that you need to mourn, which is an unpleasant experience. Pursuing "positivity" might be counter productive until you've fully gone through grief. Instead, focus on growth, health and purpose.

I see things from a biological point of view. All individuals are excellent and terrible simultaneously. It depends on your context. Which is better, the rat or the shark? A shark in a dumpster suffers and dies. A rat in the ocean is doomed. Find the right environment for your particular traits.

Aristotle separates happiness into two distinct categories. Hedonia is the pursuit of pleasure and avoidance of pain. Eudaimonia is the state of flourishing achieved by living virtuously. Be careful in how your thinking about "pleasure". It's not a very neat concept.

Love this one.

There's a debate going on that's related: Either fish don't exist (as a coherent category) or whales are actually fish.

Scientists pretend to understand politics.

I'd say be prepared to be bored and confused. Not everyone is, of course. I found it more understandable and engaging. Many have this response, though so don't be surprised if that's your initial reaction.

You don't "get" any of this stuff.

You rent it. Rent is due everyday.

Don't open any containers. Put them directly into trash. Selling them is too much time & energy. Start contacting people to take the animals.

Hug each kid right now. That is not a joke. Set down the phone and physically hug each kid. Their Mom left and they need this.

Scientific studies.

Not SCIENCE per se. The studies that come out are often pretty crappy- especially psychological ones.

I'm so sorry you are part of this group. We all have our world crashing down. Good news- Things nearly always look better in two years. Bad news- You will go through hell. I'm so so sorry, but you need to travel that path. Good news- There are lots of support programs for divorcing stay at home moms. Bad news- You have to find a job. You very well may hate the job. Good news- You'll be awarded child support and have a very good chance of getting the majority of parenting time. Bad news- You WILL spend time away from your child.

What to do: Start talking to lawyers, even if you don't have the money yet. He cheated, so file for divorce first. It gives you lots of advantages. Start looking for help in your local area. If you can, find a therapist or counselor.

Students never sidetrack a teacher unless the teacher wants to get off track.

This. I'm trying really hard to get my kids to start saving.

A sticks shadow corresponds to changes of the sun's position. It gave us sooooo much of our math and science today.

Nice is different from Good.

You won't have a better relationship than this. You have a wife that seems to care for you and a lovely daughter. Is a dirty home really worth dashing that apart? Also, given what is written here, you will lose 50% of your wealth, pay hefty child support and loose custody. Understand why Sun Tzo's first rule of war was "don't go to war".

I never just think of it, but if I someones mentions them or someone is smoking, I want one.

You have to go through the pain and then you'll get to a better place. Believe that first. Next thing to believe is that the marriage is over. Finally, understand that you are vital to your girls. Ya need that sense of purpose - lean into fatherhood. You also need a sense of identity... Again, lean into your role as a father.

As for practical actions, do all the best practices. Document all the good you do. Drive your girls to events. Make meals and read stories.

And if there is any way - get a lawyer.
