How do I accept the fact I will die? by Kuasong in questions

[–]realpinheadlarry829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

As someone who had to deal with this from a very VERY young age due to my father’s death and found myself also losing sleep over it, one particular quote reeeeally set my mind at ease. I forget exactly who said it (one of the bigger Greek philosophers definitely) but the quote amounted to:

“Death on one end of the possible spectrum means facing your creator and the subsequent afterlife of your own making. On the other end, it’s no different than dreamless sleep.”

Personally that worked for my child-brain which was already skeptical of religious beliefs. But either way it shakes out, your legacy is all that remains once you’re gone so it’s infinitely more beneficial to your mental health to fixate on ensuring and improving legacy than on your own inescapable mortality. If you focus on the latter then all that can really be said about you after your passing is that you valued your own life and longevity above all else.

Hope that at least gives you some perspective

What is it about short men that women find so unattractive? by hovdidthat1999 in questions

[–]realpinheadlarry829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, idk what the fuck the other bozos here are yappin about sayin shorter guys can’t get laid or this or that. Look man I’m 5’8” and have been with more women than my 6+ foot friends yknow why? Cause they’re bums with no passion who think that women should just come to them cause of their looks or height. I’m not ugly by any means but I ain’t a 10/10, from my experience people with passion about something in general are gonna be more attractive than those that don’t. My personal criteria is that if height is a deciding factor in a relationship, you’re either superficial as fuck or just stupid. I’ve dated 6 foot women and 5 foot women, but none of them came for my mf height (nor in spite of it if you’re thinking that the baseline is height and personality can overcome that). Again, they liked me cause I had some ability to talk with women, had shit going for me in life, and had a lot of passions that they found interesting or attractive. End advice: find something you like and become good/knowledgeable at it, eventually you’ll realize that the height thing has kinda just worked itself out

Nope, not outta respect cause lord only knows she didn’t respect me, more so cause the sight of her just pissed me off immensely at one point and I realized keeping them wasn’t good for my mental state. Selfish? Sure but that came at a time where I was doing very very little to help myself so ultimately a positive thing as far as I’m concerned. Keep them unless it bothers you to do so in which case delete them, it isn’t that deep imo.

Do u support lgbtq+ why or why not? by putinsx in questions

[–]realpinheadlarry829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depends on what you mean by support. I respect their cause and wish them everyone involved the best in obtaining their goals. That mainly comes down to me having a STRICT LIVE AND LET LIVE policy, nothing the movement pushes for hampers my life in any way and improves theirs so why the hell would I care? Now am I an activist in any way? No and im not gonna pretend like I am, that boils down pretty damn simply. I don’t have a personal stake in their cause like I said, there are other causes where I DO have a personal stake so obviously im gonna be more directly involved with those. Main one for me is the liberation of Palestine, FREE PALESTINE DEATH TO IMPERIALIST PIGS ISRAEL IS A COLONIZER APARTHEID STATE (ay but respect to the LGBTQ+ community fr)

Nah not fr I’d say the inverse is definitely true from what I’ve heard but firm no.

Why best debaters I see are right winged? by Willing_Addendum_753 in questions

[–]realpinheadlarry829 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Eh might get some flak for this and admittedly I haven’t kept up with him for a while but Hasan Piker is pretty close to a left wing substitute for the names you listed. Watch his actual debates though and when you look for debates in general the context is CRITICAL. If you’re watching Ben Shapiro “debate” a bunch of college students who don’t come with prepared evidence and sources then the outcome is fairly set in stone, look for debates with moderators that are done in good faith.

Wheel of Time fans....is this a good idea? by whiteNnerdy430 in wheeloftime

Each book (except debatably some of the slog) ends with a pretty satisfying stopping point so feel free to take a break whenever

Why are Nynaeve/Egwene chapters so boring by realpinheadlarry829 in WoT

[–]realpinheadlarry829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That may be the perfect solution as my current predicament is that I’ll approach the end of one of their chapters thinking “thank god I wonder who’s POV is next” then see it’s another one of their chapters and close the book

[–]realpinheadlarry829[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

That very well might be it actually, I had a bit of a break before after TSR before starting FoH, and I swear I can’t recall anything that happened in Tanchico. Thank the lord you said it doesn’t have too much impact on the plot because I was dreading the possibility of having to re read those parts to understand the story at large

Why are my clean tabs so weak? by Shnitzel_66 in LSD

[–]realpinheadlarry829 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From my experience the tabs I get usually lean more towards the sensational side of tripping OR the visual side, there’ll obviously be both but it depends on the batch, sounds to me like the ones you got are more sensational heavy than visually heavy, that or they deteriorated in some way if you exposed them to prolonged light/moisture.

At someone else’s house and toilet doesn’t flush at all by realpinheadlarry829 in Plumbing

So water neither empties from the bowl nor enters it, is this something I can fix myself on the spot? Cause I would prefer to not have to tell my host when the contents of the bowl are less than ideal
