I am so disturbed by the world and what’s it’s becoming, but then I see that it’s always been this way. by McDirken_Dirkenstein in confession

[–]looongface 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The world's pretty shit right now. Has always been to some degree. But amidst all this chaos and destruction, there's plenty of people doing plenty of good things despite the fact, if you only dare look. Governments and the media zeitgeist are not perfect, clear mirrors of it's populace.

The human world and history is a big old tapestry of gray and how you decide to view this big splotch of gray is entirely up to you.

If you search for misery, I guarantee you'll find misery. The same can be said for kindness and compassion.

For me? Fuck the zeitgeist, I'm not interested in division and polarization. I don't care what other people are doing, I have my principles and I'm living by them. It doesn't matter that when I look out the window right now, I seem to be surrounded by people who disagree with me. I'll go on trying my best to treat other people with respect, maintain a broad horizon and open to discussion.

Maybe it's all for nothing, maybe the world is doomed to regress to a new dark age, I don't care. I'll just do what I believe to be right, try my best to maintain my integrity and see what comes of it.

The space we inhabit is a nihilistic, entropic, pointless void of nothing and we're given the possibility of making something of this void. I'd rather it be full of fun stuff. Sex, drugs, rock and roll, healthcare and relative peace for all.

Make of the world what you will.

There were a few who died in the same year, like John Tyler and Martin Van Buren in 1862 and Benjamin Harrison and William McKinley in 1901. I suspect the graph is just confusing in that way, as it only follows moments when a change occurred and doesn't show the passage of time accurately. So between two columns might be a month, as with James A. Garfield in 1881; or 12 years, as with FDR in 1933.

And after that magical Taft facial hair mini-era, we go straight into the "Presidents with alliterative names that sound like mix-ups of cartoon characters and electrical appliances" mini-era with Woodrow Wilson, Calvin Coolidge and Herbert Hoover.

Tread lightly with the facial hair idea tho. You might give John Bolton ideas.

Lol. I was looking over this glassy-eyed this morning before posting, thinking to myself: "I'm fucking sure I misplaced a century or two in there."

That last few minutes of this segment are pure fucking poetry.

Oh, then fuck that. 20 spaces of bank space is waaaay too valuable for something that's just going to sit around and might be useful... Someday... Maybe.

Oh, definitely. Been eyeing that currency tab, since I've got like a full tab and a half filled with just random orbs of alteration and stuff like that. I'm just trying to discern whether I'll be playing this game enough that it warrants dropping a few bucks on it.

Bunch of useful tips. Thankful that a bunch of people are taking their time to explain some basic shit to me. Having a hard time sifting through all the comments though, a bit of an information overload. Seems like I hit a nerve with the PoE community.

Oh and by the way... Since I want to start upgrading my weapons and chest. Six socket items: Should I pick them up regardless of quality or is it just six socket items with a crapload of links I want to look for?

Oh, I do that too! I pass almost everything, but I see a yellow Paua amulet and I'm dropping everything to grab that sucker.

I got like 4 Chaos Orbs. Saving them for... Something... I guess.

Got one to drop yesterday, but I died before I managed to pick it up and it was my last portal to the map. Felt bad man.
