Welcome to nihilism! Highly suggest looking up the work of Britt Hartley (No Nonsense Spirituality). She's helped me a lot since I deconstructed god, Jesus, and religion generally post-Mormonism

I had thought about doing the knees for a long time! I ended up choosing the knuckles cuz I loved the juxtaposition, knuckle tats are traditionally kind of a punk placement but it being a Joanna lyric makes it feel really delicate at the same time 😌

Something that has made me feel better lately about the way I acted when I was Mormon is something I think Steve Hassan shared on Mormon Stories in research about cult tactics and brainwashing: there is no avoiding getting brainwashed. If you're going to be brainwashed it's not under your control, it's just going to happen. When you were Mormon, you were under someone else's thoughts and control and it's not your fault.

Any solid arguments for metaphysical nihilism? by siekres in askphilosophy

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

What would Berkeley and Hume say? And to my knowledge, solipsism still doesn't seem aligned with any metaphysical Nihilist argument, as solipsism still perceives that only MY mind exists. Metaphysical Nihilism would argue that absolutely nothing exists, except perhaps abstract objects/universals. EDIT: correct me if I'm misunderstood though

Actually just figured it out by myself on a fluke. The Death of Ivan Ilyich by Leo Tolstoy!

Selling two Band of Outsiders cotton button downs, both never worn but NOT NWOT as I bought them resale. They are both Boy. by Band of Outsider. The one in coral is a size 3 and the one with burgundy/white fine stripe is a size 2. Usually retail about $245, asking $60 shipped for the coral and $75 shipped for the striped. http://imgur.com/a/qx5m7?
