I always kinda viewed life like a movie or a video game, where even if you have to endure a lot of suffering, you always triumph in the end and it'll all be worth it.
Realizing that millions upon millions of people have died experiencing pure agony for most or all of their life, and realizing that is probably going to be how I die too, really kinda destroyed that preconception.
Life doesn't have a plot, it's not even close to the same as any plot driven medium.
For me this notion hasn't been destroyed because there's never any lasting consequences to my actions. I see the consequences as theory because they've never happened to me.
Well just think of it this way: Rocky lost the fight.
What you just said is high octane nihilism fuel...
feel ya
There's no consequences for your actions a lot of the time so it's hard to believe.

I just made the post below you. What's my mentality called?
Welcome to the club, now you'll just get sheeple tell you that it's your fault because they have that preconception you're talking about.
Fuck nihilism.
sure all those people died and that sucks, and you'll probably be just another, and there will be countless more after you. But the thing is, recognizing how shitty that is doesn't make it any better, but it allows you to think about how it could be better.
If you act on that, then your life becomes more like a plot, and you have some chance at actually making life better. For all those who perish in agony for their lives, you can at least offer help to some, and in the process, yourself.
I'm not an NPC and for me it's because there's never been consequences to my actions. I can do the dumbest things and it all turns out fine. Society is so safe I can do anything and not feel the sting.
>tfw always acted like the sting will come regardless
fukc
>Society is so safe I can do anything and not feel the sting.
No. You can't. You're probably just a coward and try your hardest to get away with anything. People that get away with things unscathed are usually the biggest pussies about consequences.
If the consequences don't have to happen why go through them? Sometimes it's just natural

That last one is getting completely crushed
>Lose friends or reputation in a place? Better fucking worry. In the internet your identity is written in stone and no matter where you go, people from your past know what you're up to, and random new people you meet know all about your past fuckups
Kek. Not if you don't have social media under your real name, don't let people tape you, and if you live in a city. You can even reinvent your gender. You can claim to be a white passing POC, you can reinvent your clique.
You don't have social media? Heheh, thats cool man haha fly under the radar.
>said Tom to Jeff
>awhile later Jeff is alone with Kayla
>Kayla: so what do you know of user? I think he's kinda cute!
>Jeff: did you know user doesn't even have any social media?
>Kayla: omg no thats sooo weird hahaha
>J: I know right? I get a weird vibe from him anyways
>K: oh nooo! Well thats ok, I think someone else is cute too...
>Jeff and kayla fuck now
enjoy ur ostracization which is entirely out of your control
This but only in small towns what he said about the city is mostly true
N-n-n-nihilism...?
>nigga entire life philosophy is "i live a good live with a support network to catch me whenever i fuck up (which is always) so life must be good"
A lot of people died experiencing nothing but pain and suffering. Kids have been born in wars, lived their entire life in war, and then died in a bombing or something before even being able to start their life.
Kek are you dumb? It's an endearing hispter thing to reject technology except smart phones. Vinyl's very popular with our generation. Do you live under a rock user?
That's silly. It's more like Kayla was already fucking 3 of Jeffs friends and he's been trying to sneak his way into getting some too on social media where he's been stalking her activity between chronic masturbation and video game playing. Tom probably already knows Kayla is sleeping around with one or two of his 6 friends him and kayla hang around with, kayla bounces between having sex with one or two of the guys at a time, breaking up with them and rotating through the list. jeff is stalking her on facebook between his chronic masturbation and video game playing sessions and looking for an excuse to try to DM her and try to get into her pants. Tom doesn't want to deal with their bull shit because their clique is going to have a falling out anyway from kayla sleeping around, and has already been since a bunch of them low key being pricks to one another over stupid shit like that.
>except smart phones.
Of which the entire purpose is social media
>its the current trend to reject all technology except the one piece of technology that is relevant to the discussion
>this is somehow an argument
Are you ok senpai? You sound like you have brain damage
I got mine for texting, internet, games, calls, and apps.
