   Here’s my life advice to the younger generation: confront death.

   Everything you can learn about yourself, the world, and other comes from addressing that one question. Maybe you’ve tried to distract yourself from it, or you’ve become a nihilist and think nothing really matters. If that’s the case you aren’t thinking hard enough.

   Only after embracing death can you really live life. In other words, to become based you have to be cringe. When you realize life is fleeting and you could die any moment, the pressures of the world are lifted off your shoulders. So take risks. Life is shorter than you think. When you’re dead, you won’t care about that cringe moment, and neither will anybody else. They’ll care about how what you did continues to impact them. Because one person is part of the whole, and contributes to direction of society. Each person is like the cells of a larger organism. And you are the universe’s paintbrush. Your success is the universe celebrating itself, and your failure is the universe laughing at itself. See the bigger picture and you will not want to die, but you will be at peace with it. Anyway

     @alex Bro this is a word salad cope and I’m pretty sure it’s about the dresses. It’s not cool, it never will be, and you will be remembered as the vegan in a dress.

     @eris Every worldview is a cope. That’s the whole point of it.

     I once dressed as a girl for an entire day of school. You’re not brave enough to wear a dress. I guess you love social norms and believe the world is perfect as it is and unchangeable? Except you don’t.

     The only worldview that isn’t a cope is my own. :anintellectual: Take that.

     @Rogue_Koala @eris I was cosplaying Juliet too. We gender swapped and I had to recite some lines to the friar. 10 points extra credit, and I only got bullied a little and people mostly laughed and/or respected my bravery. Now with today’s dumb shit you couldn’t do this without someone trying to be your “ally” and peer-pressuring you to turn transgender.

     @alex I used to be fairly certain death was the end, now I'm not so sure. At least not for us player characters.
