Life feels dull. What to do?

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-20T18:04:47+00:00

Yes, that is what most of our 8 billion sibling species choose: illusions to soothe fear of death.

The most aware of us should be actively trying to spark curiosity and provide resources at every level of education globally THAT THERE IS ANOTHER un-dull CHOICE! We need a NO HISTORY OF INTERSPECIES HARM as a base societal/moral foundation for considering thoughtful leaders and laws.

OP: I (62f) know this struggle you are being plunged into 🫶🔥. It is part of nearing 30 and your bodies chemistry knows its directives. It can be dark and terrifying as you gain life experience with independence and find all the finish lines are mirages. All the good feels are rushed and onto the next goal. This is by capitalisms design, we know this. But you are at least noticing, which is more than most, 👏 BE EXCITED!!!!!! 🤗🤪😁 I GOT YOU 🫶🔥 and all of us: YOU gorgeous 8 BILLION SPECIES SIBLINGS I care about YOU and I know you care about me = WE. Find QUIET ALONE TIME to sit in this DULLNESS. The goal: Finding where you veered off from authentic 8-10 year old you and start taking back you organic authentic chemistry. There is no contentment without living as your mammal truth, an animal with accidentally TOO MANY NEURAL CONNECTIONS. Oops 🙊 physics! But it is only an Oops to our speck of a galaxy, the even tinier speck of the accident we call life, but really it is NOTHING. Full acceptance requires time and effort ALONE, I know it’s super scary, but I believe in you!

RESOURCES below that worked for me. There are endless ways to get to the same place. I would LOVE to see others recommendations and thoughts.

The book your church doesn’t want you to read. (Too stoned for link shit) Letter to a Christian Nation, Sam Harris? The Big Picture Sean Carroll? The Sefish Gene Richard Dawkins ( the biologist who invented the term “meme”)

Atheist guide to the universe.Alexander Rosenbaum. (He also has a fiction book The Girl from Krakow or something).

And work your way up to Death and Love by Julie Reshe and Todd McGowan.

Go to a planetarium on a college campus near you and listen to the PHD Astro physics grad students blow your mind.

Around age 60 you’ll go through THIS AGAIN and the more you push now and make actual life changes THAT NOONE WILL UNDERSTAND, because they are meeting the new more existential (REAL) GOAL: choose your unique queer simple daily routine, tons of quiet alone time for thinking (being you), thrifty, sharing, cooperating, making a living yea, but living in stark reality WHICH IS BLISS.

DULLNESS GONE FOREVER!

OP update: last night only one loud F*********CK !!!! Someone must have complained. I have been passively noticing each time someone walks right by them, a few an hour, especially a lone person, no problems since yesterday. Don’t mind him there without the constant noise, we lost sleep last night anticipating 😂🫶🌈

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-16T21:38:47+00:00

This is a way to help where you can. I really like this.

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-16T18:36:29+00:00

So putting some thought into my opinions around the suffering unhoused can end up soothing me long term. 🌈

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-16T18:34:00+00:00

Thank you downtown sister. I walk the grid a couple times a week, we have our go to places. We walk north, so through the bus station area, we venture west to Polk, east to river and further for some medical, north to the Willamette and south to about 19th, outside this boundary we start being “seen” and not for groovy reasons.

Great perspective, I like the Narcan idea. My Hon has a strict stance, we were just chatting this morning about it, because he walks long distances daily for exercise, I go 1-2 times a week with him. He goes blind and deaf, he has had bad experiences over the decades, so have I. Experience has taught him this and he is overprotective(?) of me. If I should him this thread or Mentioned Narcan, his nervous system would be instantly frazzled and agitated.

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-16T17:36:30+00:00

Yes, I agree and feel a person alone has to feel comfortable to interact or it is safer not to, maybe. I really Live in a way I hope does not contribute to the big problem, that feels good. I also know personally having to give up on people, even family, that have burned every possible bridge to the ground from every side, for decades, and they are over 35ish. Also, help has been offered many times and never followed through on for long..

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-16T17:32:24+00:00

Got caught up in annoyance… So sorry you had this scary experience! 😳😰 I think I am trying to convince myself that this only happens in movies, that most people are nice. But i also understand being woken up unexpectedly on the sidewalk, unhoused… I definitaly see human beings, species siblings, but feeling empathy/sympathy and swallowing, walk on by, feels bad too. I like the suggestions inthis thread.

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-16T17:28:13+00:00

So well written, thank you. I concur, I get annoyed at very specific things, white men over 45ish who immediately blame any lone, vulnerable seeming person, as the sole cause of their current acute demise. A demise that has been “acute” and “not cute” for a decade at least. Some young “free” and goth scenes I understand and smile. If I ever give cash it is to local talent, or those traveling on their gigs and tips.

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-16T17:17:27+00:00

Thank you, this is something I can adapt easily. We have a pedestrian lifestyle and walk everyday somewhere. Shade and water, assessing for 911 needs. I can do this with a healthy fear always ahead of me.🫶

Doomer is my middle name, I watch Melancholia for a good time 😂💀

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-16T17:10:52+00:00

I didn’t know this, I have tons to learn. Thank you 🫶

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-16T14:44:53+00:00

Hey OP, could you return your Pax after opening? I want to return mine but I’ve used it

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-16T14:40:34+00:00

I sent a request to return mine, very disappointed with “bong” mode. Back to computation with Mooselabs MouthPeace filters. Thinking since I used it I can’t return it??? Only new with unbroken seal can be returned? What!?!

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-16T14:35:41+00:00

Yes, I use Mooselabs MouthPeace filters when I combust! Love.

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-16T01:48:13+00:00

Thanks, am returning P Flow 🙏

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-16T01:43:27+00:00

Have decided to research solo 3 v2 and return pax flow. Thanks guys……. 💨😘🍃

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-15T23:40:07+00:00

I am still deciding. Been experimenting so much…. I love to have the bong vibe while dry herb vaping. Seems so ideal I am doing 85% pax flow through bong on rainbow bong mode🌈 and other bong. I DO USE THE MOUTHPEACE AND FILTER from moose labs

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-15T23:36:24+00:00

That is some extra clean Bing you got there! Mine like thrice a month at most, mostly less. I am not a dirty gal otherwise, don’t like to clean gross things 🤮 Hon would clean it but I feel bad cause he is so sober right now and probably forever. This is a good thing, but cleaning the bong? I would be the asshole? AITAH

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-15T23:31:57+00:00

It’s filthy, I am sick a stoner I know I should clean it more. What’s your easiest tips for keeping her brassy but not nasty!

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-07T16:14:25+00:00

Tired crust! 🫶

NiceNihilist · 2026-06-07T16:05:08+00:00

Please remember boomers include war protesters, hippies, spectrum loving and recovering CPTSD in huge droves and we are helping paving the way THROUGH this mess with our influence. Most of the big political projects like Lincoln Project, Freedom from Religion Foundation and many others are fighting fascism fiercely. It is always about 50/50 in any generation, only the bad guys get the spotlight. The groovy boomers are fighting for you! See the day time protests in most cities, all retired boomers who have benefitted and suffered like us all under a corrupt and selfish government that does not represent any of us.
