The meaning of life (to you) could be to: “Just be here because here is where we happen to be.”
It’s not that deep, really. Some people want to have an impact, others just want to chill. I’m just curious what people’s first response is to that question and so far I have seen lots of interesting comments.
Come on dude. Just keep doubling down until you can generalise. What a weak approach.
It makes more sense that a god is a creator and not a omniscient controller, if we could grow life in a petri dish and set the scientific boundaries for that life - we would also sit back and watch what happens, for good and for bad.
I’m glad that you have such excellent food even when it’s bad. That you somehow find yourself purveying everything that Britain has to offer - hating it - and also so much of other cuisines for comparison. Omniscient taste buds, I would wager.
So, none of the people mentioned are trans women? Why exactly are you making these comments?
This just reads like ragebait haha. I have had good Indian food and bad Indian food, I’ve had good pasta and bad pasta. If you think that every other cuisine but British is somehow always amazing and always better than British food then I don’t know what to tell you. Go to a tourist trap in Italy and you will have trash that doesn’t compare to even a British Italian chain. Buy panipuri from the wrong guy in India and not only will you shit yourself violently but it will taste like a spicy watery mess.
The only reason I can fathom why anybody would talk so much nonsense is for ragebait purposes. Going from “your cuisine isn’t as good as India’s” to “your food is garbage” is a pretty steep slope.
nobody is gonna convince me of anything now
This is part of the problem. If two people engage in open debate and neither of them can be convinced to change their minds about anything, then what exactly is the point?
I will listen to people and engage with their arguments, and remain openminded to be convinced. Life isn’t that simple and believing you know all the answers is naive.
You’re not wrong, it is definitely an improvement. Fruit pudding is such a weird juxtaposition, like a cinnamon tart, super sweet eaten alongside all of the salty.
Steak and ale pie is so underrated.
This isn’t a diet plan for a British person, it’s just the top foods. If you look at USA top foods it would be burgers, BBQ, pizza, chowder, etc. I don’t think Americans are known for eating plates of vegetables but that doesn’t mean you don’t eat them.
There is some nuance to the quality of fish and chips. It is a takeaway food, therefore the ‘quality’ of it will never be as high as something you would get in a Michelin starred restaurant.
It’s also a food which has a very high ceiling and a very low floor. Soggy batter, poor quality fish, rubbish chips are all going to drastically effect the enjoyment of them, and based on your comment I can only assume you’ve had shit fish and chips.
The quality difference between a sea side town chippy (or a Scottish one) vs. the average chippy in middle England is drastic. It’s also all quite dependent on condiments. In East Scotland they have something called Chippy Sauce which is vinegar mixed with brown sauce.
All that to say: if you think fish and chips is bad, you don’t know what you’re talking about.
Having a sunday roast which has a yorkshire pudding in it alongside a yorkshire pudding in god tier is a bit weird. I wouldn’t say a yorkshire pudding is god tier alone, I wouldn’t sit and eat them without say, gravy, or the other trimmings.
Cauli cheese I would put in top tier - but I’d also want to have it with a sunday roast.
Pie mash and liquor should be its own concept, and regular pie and mash (e.g., steak and ale) should be in a higher tier by itself, served with gravy
A good scotch egg (like, freshly made) should be in top tier tbh. A super market one can go in low tier though.
Haggis is definitely top tier - can actually go in god tier alongside fish and chips, it’s my usual order when I go to a Scottish chippy. (Spicy haggis supper, salt and sauce - preferably going half and half with someone who got fish)
Can’t say I massively disagree with the rest.
If you stop viewing Jesus as a deity and start viewing him as just a really nice guy, and you ignore much of the rest of that book, then I think he is a good role model.
Strangely, all of the good things he said and did are ignored by the people that worship him.
Turn the other cheek - nope, let’s blow people up in the ocean just in case they’re doing something wrong.
Love thy neighbour, the story of the good Samaritan - nope, fuck anybody that’s not rich and definitely fuck immigrants.
Yep, and as always, the hardest working and least well-off are punished by a system that either doesn’t have them in mind or purposefully excludes them.
Would love to know shift-workers are expected to vote when they work 7-7 or whatever else. Night workers that sleep most of the day, etc.
The real concern is that with 8 million potential voters, NYC barely breaks 2 million.
This is why it’s always such a toss-up between fascism and normalcy - because too many people are complacent.
If that is how you feel about AI, then you would need to stop posting on social media and probably even stop having text conversations on your phone. Stop buying things online, stop watching YouTube, etc.
Every bit of virtual footprint that you have will, in some way, be used to train AI / machine learning / be sold for marketing purposes.
I don’t think stopping your life because AI exists is the right thing to do. Those ‘other artists losing their jobs’ would also be fuelling AI wiht this logic, so we should all stop making art?
Headlines always say, “Devastating blow for trump!”
And yet he and his administration continue to destroy the world like nothing happened.
The innocent civilians (and soldiers) on both sides who died for their rulers thinking they were heroes.
With this perspective, is death really a ‘meaning’ to life, or is it rather a ‘fuel’ for more life?
If it’s the latter, then that implies there is another meaning to life. There is a circle which keeps the wheel of life spinning - but where is the wheel going, and why?
The ultimate death of everything, perhaps, in which case I suppose you are correct.
