Like… I don’t know what’s the point. Eat heathy, and live a long life? Jesus christ, who has the energy for that?
Just eat whatever. Drink Sodas. Die. Who cares. There’s probably gonna be a global recession, or global great depression. Everyone around me is toxic. People in my country is toxic. The government is toxic. Why even live that long? Maybe my next incarnation will be better.
Becoming healthy is tough and can suck. But being healthy is its own reward. I really enjoy eating clean, lifting weights, going on hikes in nature, etc. You can find joy in life through healthy living. YMMV if you don’t have the right attitude though ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Just the opposite.
With the potential of medical expenses rising, medication costs going up, insurance becoming shittier (if you’ll be able to afford it at all), staying healthy to continue to earn a paycheck (that is a depressing phrase), the potential of wide spread violence, I think its imperative to be as healthy and strong as you can be.
You may also find yourself in a position where you’re the only one you can count on and if you are sickly, and weak then it will make things that much worse. Or you may find yourself in a position to help someone that has less ability to move and you’ll need to be in good health for their sake.
As someone who is handicapped through no fault of my own, it fills me with sorrow that you feel this way. Self-harm through neglect is no way to live.
My handicap initially left me with no way to walk for nearly 2 years. No doctor would touch my case. My kid literally could not hug me. I was dependent on so many people during that time and could barely take care of anyone else.
I cannot tell you what to do… but I’m probably not going to live very long anyway (thank you, genetics!), so I’d like to encourage you to find purpose. I found my purpose in creation by sewing, and it brings me overwhelming joy. My goal is to continue creating things to spread that joy to others.
If that doesn’t convince you, please know this: there are evil, shitty people in power out there who revel in your self-destruction and actively want you to destroy yourself. Please do not let them win. Continue to do your best in order to spite them and help people who aren’t so fortunate.
Being healthy improves your mood. Might as well be happy for whatever time we have left.
Yup. Almost succeeded in having a stroke. It was caught. Better luck next time I suppose.
Spoken like a very young person. The problem is not as much the dying as what comes before it. Most people don’t just drop dead. For most unhealthy people, it is years and years of suffering from various ailments as soon as you get to a certain age.

I’ll execute plan B: KMS 🙃
What’s worse than living in a dystopia? Living in a dystopia with a major medical issue.

Why did you cross out what he wrote then write the same thing?
Synonyms are fun.
I know a fascist dystopia isn’t quite the same thing, (except in HL2, where you get both), but the thing going through my mind is “rule #1: cardio” from Zombieland.

Define hyperbole for us, please.

Maybe just try to stay reasonably healthy to annoy them. Eating crap leads to obesity and other health issues which make you weak, unhappy, dependent, isolated and (if you live in the US) also poor. Don’t let them win by making it easier for them to have power over you.
Trust me. Being healthy feels great. In my early twenties I used to do all the drugs, smoked and drank every day. I didn’t have any obvious health issues, but I can tell you now, that being fit and healthy feels so much better. I used to feel pretty miserable, but now I feel like I can do anything. Self care is important for self love. You can still be happy, even with all the shit going on, but you need to look after yourself.
Take it from someone who agreed with you 30 years ago: the health you ignore today will only cause you more pain, more stress, and more cost down the road. Even if you don’t live a long life, what life you do live will be a lot harder to enjoy if you’re not healthy.
I can’t disagree that things are shit, but that’s not a reason to treat yourself like shit. Even if you don’t have a long life, going to the grave with tense af shoulders isn’t comfortable either. If you’re able, stretching and walking in the sunshine will at least add some comfort. Nothing is good but that’s no excuse to be an accelerationist to destroy your body.
Maybe my next incarnation will be better.
If I have to live a whole 'nother life after this one, I’m gonna be pissed.
For real if the tunnel closes and I wake up as a baby I’m gonna wrap the umbilical around my neck and then spin around a few times.
The mythology of how it is supposed to work is that you get a mindwipe before the reincarnation.
And who said anything about being human again? You could also end up a roach that gets squished, then reborn as some insect that gets eaten, then reborn as a pet that gets abused… etc…
So yea, thanks Buddhists, I’m feeling wonderful 🫠 (sarcasm)
That sounds like it is good to kill insects and animal because we are helping their soul go through their reincarnation queue faster and eventually come back as human.
New Religion: Fascist-Buddhism
Goal: Genocide every other living creature to attain Human Dominance over the planet, in order to ensure every incarnation is in a human body. Wait, but aliens might exist. Therefore, it is our duty to eliminate all other species, throughout the entire universe. Heil Buddha!
Wow you have solved the reincarnation puzzle! If we have just humans in the universe after eliminating every other living thing (except the good bacteria we need in our intestines), we will keep reincarnating back as mostly humans after a short stint in someone bowels !
Bahaha! First thought is something goes wrong during the mind-wipe and now it’s your conscious inside a minuscule bacteria body cruising through someone else’s poop machine. I think I would try to rally my bacterial brethren to violence.
Yeah, that’s the whole point. Reincarnation is not meant to be a positive, it’s a nightmare that you have to escape. That’s what ‘nirvana’ is, reaching a point where you successful escape the reincarnation cycle and get to have oblivion.
I make a huge sacrifice and eat meat so that my fellow suffering souls can move along their reincarnation queue as quickly as possible, into the next animal.
Ngl I think being a bird for one reset could be fun. I wanna experience flight.
I’ve started running and hiking a lot more recently, and while it might be ultimately meaningless, it does a lot to help my mental health and it just feels good.
Also drastically improved overall energy levels all day for me.
I disagree 100%.
If you’re an American, in this health care system, you’ve got to be minding your health as much as possible. It can get much, much, much worse.
My brother just had his prostate removed, can’t eat or leave his apartment for a week, and he’ll probably never have a full-on erection again. My wife had to do dialysis three days a week, which left her weak and ruined after every session. A friend of mine is in pain 24/7, and has been for decades.
I am the luckiest fucker on earth, to have good health, and I’ve never done a damned thing to deserve it. For 50 years I ate almost nothing but crap food, and I’m flabby and never exercise.
Ain’t no justice in this life. Ain’t much life if you don’t have your health.
Sounds like warren buffet, whose health conscious ex-wife died and Warren is still alive drinking coca-cola, eating McD breakfast and steaks.
I think genetically some people are blessed with a body that is just very good at repairing the damage (maintenance) from so called unhealthy food.
