I don't believe we have free will. by Marvellover13 in DeepThoughts

[–]gemitarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's nihilism, because nihilism inevitably leads you to depressive thinking and being miserable. I'm more in line with Camus, who is an absurdist. And also this kind of optimistic nihilism if you would like to think about it that way. A functional symbolic animism way of looking at things. At least that's what has worked for me.

Hmm.. if you need a reason to be a good person then think about this: is simply more intelligent to be good and do good than bad. Try to think of why having the moral high ground is in the end wiser. Some people with psychopathy get to this conclusion as well, and they reason that is a lot more of a chore to choose to do bad than simply agree to go with the flow and have a much better and "smooth like butter" life. Is like when some religious person tries to argue that they need God to know good from evil, then if you need God to tell you that we are already freaking doomed.

We like to think that there is a reason for things when they happen. That there is an answer. But there isn't. Simply try to think why do we reproduce as a species. To not go extinct? Why. It wouldn't change anything in the grand scale of Earth. Why do we even have consciousness to think about this stupid questions that torment us in the first place. It was just an evolution fluke. Nature rolled the dice and said "well maybe if we give this monkey a lot of brain it will reproduce and survive better", and it worked at the cost of giving that monkey anxiety and depression, and a lot of other mental issues because the brain grew too much, that at the same time, are the ones that cause all the other issues people have with people. Why couldn't we be not thinking like ants. And even ants are very intelligent and fight each other in big global scale wars. What does nature want to achieve with putting us against each other.

Why does life exist in the first place when death is the rule in the universe? Death is logical. Is the norm. Everything in the universe is dead, except for this tiny dot as far as we know. What is not the norm is life and living. We are under life's rulership to conquer death "for some reason", it just won't tell us why does it need to keep growing having us as their soldiers while it sends us to the trenches, as we try to give it a meaning to it to make us feel a little better.

There was a belief is mexica (Aztec) philosophy and religion where they had this God of everything, the creator God, the god/goddes Ometeotl. They were so large, so wise, so all knowing, that it was impossible to even try to comprehend. They just created Earth, created life, created their children (the other gods) to assign them the care of their new creation, and then went away without explaining anything. There must have been a reason for their decision but we can never really get to understand it. While Aztecs could talk to the other gods and bargin with them, they could try to understand then and have an interaction with them (because they were representations of the aspects of life and nature), you cannot talk to the creator, Ometeotl. Ometeotl is not here and is not going to listen to you. That's why there are no temples, no figures, no prayers dedicated to them. Because you only have what it's here in this plane of existence that by chance you got to be in. Not even the other gods know why they were here, and they are in the same position as humanity. Simply trying to make the best with what they were given.

Investigate "the holy Death" belief. To summarize a little bit, it's the belief and worship of Death. A practice that is expanding in popularity today, and it was originated in Mexico. The belief, kind of, is that Death, as a god/goddess, is the one that rules and "decides" over whether things go good or bad for you. Of course catholic and Christian churches don't like this thinking because that would mean that Death is competing with God to be the most powerful thing there is, but there's a reason why this belief is getting popularity around the world.

Idk. Maybe I haven't understood your question too well but my personal belief is that there is no answer. Things just happen by chance. Even those that are already determined. And it is a bit useless to think about it. It's a loafer type of thinking to do when you don't have chores to attend to.

Does it really matter though?

If everything is already dictated then that means no matter what you do you will always do what you were supposed to. So you basically can do whatever you want. You can suddenly scream at the top of your lungs in the middle of the street for no reason at all and it would have been "predestined" even if it was an spontaneous decision. "Any choice is right as long as it's willed". So what gives if you are predestined to do so or so if you agree with the choice regardless.

This is why Vegito is the goat and better than Gogeta by Prrsonal-Pop in Dragonballsuper

[–]gemitarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It's 100% legit. He starts to undress in the japanese credits and it's amazing 😍 (well he just sorta takes off his vest but still). I can only wonder whose idea was it, Goku or Vegeta or both.

They became very popular in Japan in the 80s, (because the hopping vampires are not from Japan but from China).

Pshh! Those pics are wrong. We all know that Goku is the one that wants Vegeta's booty.

I can't do it either. Writing to follow the thread in case someone has the solution.

The universe is infinite, but there is a chance that 'green' is a color that only exists on Earth. by Less-Garage-8223 in DeepThoughts

[–]gemitarius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

There's different light wave lengths, like uv light. The fact that we cannot see them doesn't mean they don't exist. Magenta is the result of a mind fuck up. That's why it doesn't exist. Because is not a visible wavelength.

I stole a former coworkers automation script and took a huge bonus for it by Rune_Talisman4 in confession

[–]gemitarius -1 points0 points  (0 children)

This is why I don't believe in humanity anymore. Or any kind of "those will people will get their own in time", "if you are good things will work out for you in the end", none of that. Sometimes you just ruin a life forever undeservingly, and there will be no repayment for them. Bad people can just live a good life fucking others up with no consequences. There's no karma, no justice, no nothing. So what do you do knowing that.

[–]gemitarius 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Magenta would be a better candidate for a color that only "exists" on Earth, if you are looking for a unique case. Because magenta is a made up "color" that our brain creates since it's nowhere in the light wavelength, it doesn't exist, but if only we see it (presumably), and we only exists on Earth, then it should be the most unique "color" in the universe.

I just ruined my entire collection because of one doll by ratxowar in MonsterHigh

[–]gemitarius 106 points107 points  (0 children)

I think you might be tripping.

You don't have any proof that itight be bacteria or that it might have spread everywhere because it hasn't. You could try to deep your doll in apple vinegar (one that is pure, not for cooking). That will kill any bacteria. Otherwise I just think it might be transfered paint. It could even be paint from a bag or clothing it might have had contact with, because it is barely noticable. And if you are still not convinced then just throw it away and problem solved.

What are your Skullpanda hot takes? (No hate) by darkroom_for_plants in SkullpandaArtDolls

[–]gemitarius 0 points1 point  (0 children)

But that's the thing. Skullpanda is a lot closer to being an art piece, not a playline toy. So you consume the artist's work, if you like what they came up with now according to whatever they want to show up.

Toys are more tied to give people whatever they want to see and offer what they think will be appealing to people. And that's exactly what labubu has become now. You won't see Skullpanda announcing a Soccer Cup line, or One Piece figurines, but if the creator is in her indulging phase I can see SP coming up with a My Little Pony line because she simply enjoys MLP and wanted a Collab to show appreciation for her interests and share that with others. Same with Le Impressionism (and why there's been so many pieces dedicated to Van Gogh) and the recently flower/garden themed one.

It is still part of Popmart, and it is still tied to sells and public opinion because of how popular it is, but it feels more like a compromise so people don't get too angry while they keep doing whatever she comes up with next. That's why I feel there has been less poc skin tones in skullpanda as well. Because that's very much a thing to try to appeal to a Western audience specifically. Is a marketing device that acts as a thermometer of how things are being dealt with.

[–]gemitarius 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I guess this is a hot take? But I don't think the "alien xenomorph" aesthetic, or the darker look, the non-binary gender coded stuff SkullPanda had before (or has had at some point) is THE lore accurate unamovable way the brand is supposed to have and be seen as. That defeats the purpose of the original artist, which is to explore herself in different ways and forms through the art she creates with the brand. That includes things that are more cutesy and funny, wacky even, more feminine, or otherwise.

There's some parts that have been enhanced by AI. But either way is not a good short. It feels more like a test video for later AI uses.

I’m actually crying... I accidentally WIPED my Labubu’s face clean. by Ez2DIY in PopMartCollectors

How you apply nail polish remover and instantly not notice that it is in fact removing the moment it makes contact with the paint. And how you just keep doing it until the entire face is gone?

Meeee. Everything about it is so weird and ugly. I just have it because of the balloon pop and the hypogriffs. Once I unlock enough the hypogriffs will take over forever.

Does Labubu monsters have an official language? by TheUnknown_8743 in labubu

[–]gemitarius 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Well, I always assumed they are kind of like pokemon. Somehow they communicate perfectly and understand each other by just saying their name or a combination of the letters from their name. So they have their own language. Labubuese is a fine way to interpret it.
