| joe40001 03/17/22 1:55:19 AM #51 | [LFAQs-redacted-quote] I have severe chronic depression and do have issues related to age, to the point where for the sake of my mental health I keep my age a secret. I appreciate your kindness of spirit, but if you read the bulk of what this person has posted you can see their entitlement and privilege and lack of empathy, I again would argue that they don't deserve your good will. I'll try to read you words as if they are addressed to everybody, but it's hard, because I agree with you it's a serious issue (I know all too well), but it being a serious issue is why it is upsetting for me that somebody is using it as a ground with which to troll. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif |

You are completely missing the point, which is that you can expect nothing because nothing is guaranteed. That you've (apparently) had this fucking awesome life isn't some consequence of you being 25-35, it was a fluke of good fortune and maybe some good choices, but it certainly wasn't promised to you in any way, and had you asked this question at 25 would not be something you had any reason to expect. My examples of other people not having your awesome happy life was demonstrating a point you apparently missed. Which was that how old you are doesn't define you or what you can and can't expect out of life. A combination of your choices and random dumb luck defines the future. I also don't understand how a person can complain when by their own definition they have everything they want. If you are having "an existential crisis" then your new goal/purpose can be to figure out why and fix it, but life doesn't owe you shit, and to pretend life is going to gift you experiences because of your age is dumb and entitled af. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif |

When YOU were 25 YOU didn't have a career or sense of self, some people might have those things at 25, some people might never get those things. Some kids get cancer and die. Life doesn't owe you shit and your question is so dumb as to be frustrating. "I've achieved all my goals, what now?" idk, be fucking happy, maybe. No number or age promises you anything, so it's frankly entitled for you to act otherwise. The answer to this question is "nothing" because your age does not define your life, you aren't on a conveyor belt where experiences and joy are just handed to you with each year. Life can suck, life can be awesome, but you can "expect" nothing because nobody is guaranteed anything by life, and they certainly aren't guaranteed stuff based on their age. For Christ's sake, go talk to some starving 35 year olds in Africa about "all their goals being fulfilled and how they now have a career and sense of self", because apparently that's exactly what everybody gets at 25-35 or go talk to somebody with a terminal disease at 10 years old and talk about "what they have to look forward to". I don't think I've seen a topic this entitled or stupid in a long long time. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif |

What confuses me is how you are framing this all around a number. Your age doesn't promise you anything. Your future isn't set. You could have nothing to look forward to, you could have a lot. Some number doesn't define that at all. When I entered high-school people said I had X, Y, and Z to look forward to, I didn't. WhenI entered college they said I had all this fun to look forward to, but the fun never came. Life is perfectly happy not giving you jack shit, you've got nothing to look forward to that you don't seek out for yourself, and even then bad-fortune can keep you miserable. So basically the entire premise of this question is stupid. You've achieved all your goals? Well god bless, your new goal is finding new goals. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif |

A number doesn't define you, your goals, your hopes, or your opportunity. Some things can shift, but life is what you make of it. What do you want to hear "For some reason THIS SPECIFIC CHANGE OF YEAR DOOMS YOU FOREVER"? If you want to throw a pity party for yourself just be honest with yourself and others. Otherwise, if I were you and "i've already seized the world and accomplished every goal i've ever had" I'd be pretty fucking happy and grateful. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif |

| joe40001 03/16/22 10:10:37 PM #143 | emblem boy posted... Gay marriage is an interesting one. It seems like the main shift happened due to legal changes. Like, when obergervelle passed, not even California was able to pass a referendum to allow gay marriage by 2008. Social change absolutely can happen without violence, but let's not be cavalier about the length of time it takes and the amount of work we put on those pushing for change. Gay marriage took decades. Civil rights took decades and people subjecting themselves to violence from the state just in order to gain sympathy. It is by no means trivial. I absolutely agree. Which is why I don't think anybody is obligated to be a saint like Daryl. Even so, the world is a much better place because of people like him, which is why he's such an inspiration. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif |

| Topic | I really liked the latest Joe Rogan Experience episode |
| joe40001 03/16/22 6:54:46 PM #139 | AngelsNAirwav3s posted... Slavery was abolished in a lot of states peacefully before the Civil War. Not to mention almost all social change has been done without a wars/violence. Gay Marriage became legal without any violence to enact it. The country's narrative shift on that is a prime example of people slowly shifting their perception without violence or hate. I'm troubled by the people here who seem super invested that "being angry" or "hate" or "treat them like the scum they are" or "violence" are the only options. When they don't seem effective at all, and when Daryl shows there are other ways. I totally understand people who argue "it's not fair to expect that level of patience/engagement from everybody, particularly victims of intolerance." This is totally valid. But the people who act like Daryl is wrong or ineffective seem to be invested in hating others more than they are invested in the world becoming better. Personally, I would rather somebody leave the KKK than they stay in the KKK and I get to enjoy hating them. It seems like for some people, they would prefer the second option. Or would at least argue that the first option is impossible, despite the clear evidence to the contrary. Later in the episode, the question comes up of "what is one thing you believed strongly but later changed your mind about". And Daryl admits that he used to think "a zebra doesn't change his stripes" when it comes to racist/bigots. When he first set out to talk to the first member of the KKK, he wasn't trying to change his mind at all, he just wanted an answer to the question of "how can you hate me, when you don't even know me?". So originally Daryl, like many people in this topic, believed that "evil people" didn't ever change their ways, that they were born evil and they stayed that way. But Daryl changed his mind on that when he witnessed first hand that even people in the KKK can abandon such ideologies. Like I said before. It is unfair to say a person is required to be kind to the unkind, calm to the angry, tolerant of the intolerant. And I don't think anybody is saying you have to do that. But what I and I think many are saying is Daryl is proof that it can and does work, it can and does change minds. And that when two people are talking, they are not fighting. So it's a very good ideal to strive towards, it's the best way of creating positive change. And it's certainly a hell of a lot better than violence. Like somebody else said, when it comes to creating positive change there are only 3 real paths: Violence, indifference, and talking. And talking/engaging is clearly the best option of those 3. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif |

It's not cute to keep accusing innocent people of hate for choosing not to engage in good faith with those hateful people who want to oppress and kill them. I am not accusing people of hate for choosing not to engage with hateful people. It's a shitty way of normalizing the racism and homophobia, as if they're all just victims too. Poor, misguided souls looking for friends and conversation, but instead receiving "hate" and being dehumanized, giving them little choice but to make the decisions to hate minorities for being born. My point (and from what I understand it is Daryl's point too) isn't that bigotry, racism, homophobia or anything like that are "ok". They aren't. But the point is that meeting those things with vitriol and hate back, doesn't cause those people to change. Conversation can. "When two people are talking, they aren't fighting." I really recommend you watch the clip, he says it so much better than I could. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif |

I don't think anybody thinks others are obligated to talk to such people. But I think Daryl shows the power and the good that can be done if you do. (And how "treating them as scum" is not productive) I wouldn't blame anybody for feeling strong negative emotions towards bigotry. But I am happy there are patient people in the world would face others the way he does. Whether it's him with the KKK or even just a person speaking to a hostile family member with civility, moving people away from hate and towards a common compassionate understanding of humanity is always a positive in my book. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif |

While I think critics of Daryl are wrong. I also think in the spirit of his mindset, insulting or in any way "hating" his critics would be missing the point of his message. I'm not saying that was your goal. Just highlighting Daryl's message. I strongly disagree with people who hate Daryl (particularly considering all he's accomplished fighting intolerance), but I respect their right to say it, and try my best not to ever attack them personally, just challenge ideas/perceptions they have that aren't right. And like many have said, we can't be calm all the time, but it's still a great ideal to aspire to in contentious conversation. To listen, not hate, and try to offer a better perception.. --- "joe is attractive and quite the brilliant poster" - Seiichi Omori http://i.imgur.com/TheGsZ9.gif |

Dexter's bullshit finally caught up with him and he finally had to face how he was horrible and to blame for all his shit. Like, unless you watch Dexter and think Dexter is "the hero" I can't see why you wouldn't like how it ended.
