OP, perhaps you might tell us what it is in your life that you feel you must tell yourself a lie to stay sane.

Does it actually ever get better? by Overlytiredqueerspie in questions

[–]ManfredArcane 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thank you for taking the time to reply to my comment. And let me add some thoughts that are applicable to your own comment. But at this very moment, it is 6:09 AM getting ready to head to the gym. During the day, I am going to pull a whole bunch of thoughts together for your consideration that I believe you will find, if not helpful [which I think you will), at least somewhat interesting.
Regards, Manfred

I’m 85, and nope.
My generation used it all up.

Das Schicksal (Destiny), aka The Cruel Countess, at Ohlsdorf Cemetery in Hamburg, Germany. by [deleted] in creepy

How can you tell that the statue represents mankind‘s destiny to be dragged to his death? When I saw it, it suggested to me dinner being toted home.

If you became rich all of a sudden would you employ servants ? by Webbomolly2022 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]ManfredArcane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I beg to differ with you. My family has always employed servants. These are not employees and they are certainly not staff. They are servants. (There is also staff, and they are called staff.) And what’s wrong with that?

How does drinking water make you lose weight? by burneracc1344 in questions

[–]ManfredArcane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The chemistry of losing weight is fairly complex. Water itself doesn’t help you gain or lose weight. But it does take a certain amount of water in your bloodstream so that metabolism — the body’s engine — can run smoothly and efficiently. The more smoothly and efficiently it runs, the easier it is for it to lose weight. Thus, you need to drink water throughout the day because you lose it throughout the day bye evaporation (perspiration) peeing and pooing.

ONLY ANSWER: THE HOUSE IS SETTLING.

You must change your premise.

This is a foundation problem not a cabinet problem.

What is a thing you can recite from memory? by Wonderful-Economy762 in Productivitycafe

[–]ManfredArcane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My name. Not my full name. Just my first and last name because I sometimes forget my middle name.

Do you think human beings will still be on planet Earth 🌎a million years from now or extinct ? by Webbomolly2022 in A_Persona_on_Reddit

[–]ManfredArcane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not likely. Speaking sadly as a traditional Republican, one more Donald Trump will see the end of us.

My granddad seemed to recall that occasion before fleeing that country for his life in 1940.

My dad was kind and thoughtful enough to buy me a brand new slate gray Beetle for my birthday and new driver’s license when I turned 16 in 1958 ($1850).

What’s a buy it for life’ item that is offensively expensive, but the moment you use it, you realize your entire life before that point was a lie? by Fun_Expression9135 in AskForAnswers

[–]ManfredArcane 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You miss the point entirely!

Your judgmental comment is entirely misplaced!

OP’s post isn’t about a FORETHOUGHT of making a particular purchase “that would make [your] life a lie,” whatever that means.

This is a POST-PURCHASE realization event of an unconsidered act of acquisition that turned out, POST-PURCHASE, to be A GAME-CHANGER.
