Then maybe stop chatting with AI sex bots and touch some grass.
Or do some drugs
Better yet, do both. Do drugs outside.
Do drugs outside
Inform yourself beforehand. This can get dangerous pretty fast, but yeah it is great.
Yeah, I’d also specify: outside, away from people, where you feel safe, etc…etc…
Just don’t take psychedelics and stay cooped up inside, if nature is accessible, that’s all I mean. Inside = probably a bad trip, for me. Outside = magic.
Yeah if nature is available, it’s a no brainer.
Since i live in the city, i had a “alone and drugged up in the nightlife of a big city” scene in mind, when i wrote that comment.
taking shrooms and then going out and staring at the stars while laying in some grass was a very enjoyable experience for me
You guys can see stars?
Tap for spoiler
I’m a bortle 5/6 and exaggerating for the meme, but still. Can hardly see shit.
I was in the outskirts of Phoenix at the time. It definitely wasn’t the greatest light pollution wise, but definitely better compared to bright as fuck NJ where I live.
20 mins north of Cooperstown NY is still the best sky watching I have ever seen. That’s the only time I have seen the Milky Way in person.
I could see it as a young’n in rural NM. I want to visit a dark sky location but there arent any (in level 1 class sky) within a ~15hr drive :/
And masturbate
Best I can do is touch some sex grass, final offer.
Best I can do is ass grass.
Swing and a miss
But I’ve seen the movie? He gets obsessed with an AI chatbot.
Aw man I already felt joy, I don’t need to feel that again.
Given the average dosage historically I might have already had enough whimsy for a lifetime
AND YET-
You think this but you’d be wrong… Things will feel worse and continue to feel worse in new and unexpected ways. The pain never ends, until you do.

Yeah life after 40 had me experiencing a while new style of pain and terror. Fantastic.
I sometimes think like this but then I realize it’s mostly my depression talking. I’ll keep trying to experience new things and let life surprise me.
There’s always something new, emotions aren’t finite. Pretty arrogantly lazy to conclude there’s nothing better than one’s existing experiences.
Having seen the movie, it’s not so much arrogance and laziness (though there’s some mental laziness to him as well), as existential dread, post-divorce pessimism, and general weltschmerz 🤷🏻
This is the Internet. There will be no attempt to apply context or nuance to anything.
Heights scare me.
If I ride a roller coaster, or parasail, or zipline, I’ll feel a thrill.
There are safe and sane ways to do things that will make you feel alive.
What’s that say that to “feel alive” we must constantly scare ourselves?
To understand the value of life, it helps to contrast that with the fragility of it.
No, to feel alive we have to constantly challenge ourselves.
I said there are safe and sane ways to feel alive. You can go to a Pride March, or try kareoke, or learn to play an instrument.
I picked fear because it’s an extreme feeling.
Right?!
