I can't remember if I'm an ironic shitposter or just really lovely at posting. I'm thinking the latter

Nobody cares about your opinions so does it really matter OP? It's about as relevant to other people as what you personally had for breakfast last month.

Nothing matters OP. Not you, not me, not our opinions.

There's nothing but shitposting.

having nonsense beliefs and knowing you do is a step above everyone else. I suggest you embrace it.

Let me quote the only existentialist TV show to ever air, Angel:

quote:

Angel: Well, I guess I kinda worked it out. If there's no great glorious end to all this, if nothing we do matters... , then all that matters is what we do. 'Cause that's all there is. What we do. Now. Today. I fought for so long, for redemption, for a reward, and finally just to beat the other guy, but I never got it.

Kate Lockley: And now you do?

Angel: Not all of it. All I wanna do is help. I wanna help because, I don't think people should suffer as they do. Because, if there's no bigger meaning, then the smallest act of kindness is the greatest thing in the world.

Kate Lockley: Yikes. It sounds like you've had an epiphany.

Angel: I keep saying that, but nobody's listening.

If you need television to give you moral or intellectual guidance there's a show you might like that will help illuminate the importance of friendship and the magic found therein.

I have absolutely zero sympathy for women who are the victims of domestic violence, for a multitude of reasons. Most notably, the constant hand-wringing about violence against women puts the lie to the feminist claim that gender is just a social construct. If women have all the same rights and responsibilities as men, if denying privileges to someone because of the shape of their genitals is morally wrong, then that means there’s nothing wrong with bashing a woman’s face in — or, more accurately, it’s no more wrong than bashing a man’s face in. "Teach your son that all violence against women is wrong." What if she’s coming at me with a kitchen knife? Do I get to defend myself or does the code of chivalry require me to stand there and let her stab me through the heart?

But more importantly, the reason I don’t care about women who are beaten by their men is because they put themselves in that situation. Spengler’s Universal Law of Gender Parity:

"In every corner of the world and in every epoch of history, the men and women of every culture deserve each other."

Women are masters of refusing to accept the consequences of their own behavior. Girls who habitually end up in relationships with abusive men do so because they are attracted to men who abuse them. Of course, point this out and the rationalizations will sputter forth: “He wasn’t like that when we first started dating! He only started abusing me after we got married/moved in together!” Can it. Jekyll/Hyde transformations are impossible for anyone to pull off. People can change, but change is slow and incremental; it doesn’t happen overnight, nor after a wedding. If you paid attention, you could have seen signs that your man was an abuser, but you ignored them because unconsciously, that’s what turns you on, what gets you wet.

Finally, I have no sympathy for most abused women because a great many of them deliberately incite their men into attacking them, if not by being physically abusive themselves, then by creating drama. Extreme cases of this are diagnosed as borderline personality disorder, but a great percentage of the normal female population engages in this behavior as a matter of course. I found this out the hard way.
