Your basic needs aren’t being met. That is horrible for any human. I’m sorry… I’ve been there.

The part that really sucks is you don’t get to really understand this until you’re in your 30s/40s. We spend all this time trying to fill a hole in ourselves that can’t be filled with stuff.
There are people reading this right now who are like “yeah, right”…

Yep. Once your basic needs are met and you’re not in poverty, any happiness above that line has to come from within yourself.

Meh. I grew up dirt poor, and I am now what past me would have considered successful.
Funny thing about it, though, I’m still me. I’m that same dirt poor teenager, just older. It didn’t change me like I thought it would.
Absolutely, the lack of money will make you unhappy. Without a doubt. But I’ve never got a 20% raise and felt 20% happier. You’re always gonna be who you are, money or not.
- Comment on I watched Arrival (2016), there was a lot more to it than I was expecting 1 month ago:
This movie absolutely destroyed me emotionally for like a week. I was wholly unprepared for what this movie was really about. I was expecting an alien invasion movie and got a brickload of emotions dumped on my heart.
- Comment on Why do some people assume all immigrants are illegal and should "go back to where they came from"? Shouldn't that logic apply to all non-Native Americans? 1 month ago:
The answer to your question is right in your question.
“Logic”
Cold, hard logic no longer applies. Reality is manufactured now. Pointing out a logical fallacy doesn’t change anyone’s mind if that logic doesn’t coincide with their ideology.
- Comment on Rhys Darby to Guest Star in Upcoming Season of Star Trek: Strange New Worlds 5 months ago:
My absolute favorite Rhys Darby appearance is X-Files Season 10 Episode 3, “Mulder and Scully Meet the Were-Monster”
Consider me excited.

Don’t threaten me with a good time.
- Comment on Does anyone else feel like 90% of the population is stupid? 1 year ago:
It even goes beyond this.
Everyone thinks they’re smarter than everyone else. Smarter than doctors, scientists, and engineers. Definitely smarter than whatever the political or ideological “other side” is.
It’s ruining our society. When George Carlin did his bit about “how stupid the average person is”, he forgot to mention how 99% of us assume we skew into the “smarter than average” side.
I can’t have conversations with people I used to respect, relatives, old friends, or even casual acquaintances without everyone blathering on about how stupid these people are or that group is. I hate it.
- Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult? 1 year ago:
Yup. The realization that we’re all just making it up as we go is when it happens. Welcome to adulting.
- Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult? 1 year ago:
Yep. I sneezed and now my back hurts.
- Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult? 1 year ago:
This is it. Paying bills? Nah. Owning property? Nope. The realization that there’s no such thing as an “adult”. BOOM. Now you’re an adult.
- Comment on Does anyone feel like an actual adult? 1 year ago:
Yes and No. 48.
There was never a horizon or dividing line I crossed between youth and adult. It just happened.
I’m still the same person I was when I was 10/20/30/40. Still like cool things, still confused about why we’re all here.
Other than my body getting real creaky and doing all kinds of weird old things, the only real difference between youth and adult is the realization that this very thread addresses. We’re all just making it up as we go. There’s no such thing as “adult”. There’s no Council of Super-Smart People running the world.
The only thing that makes you an adult is the realization that you have to be the change you want to see in the world. That you have to be the super-smart person running things.
