How are you doing? - Kiwi Farms Wellness Check

If it helps, I got the most weirdly helpful, KF-style advice the other day regarding suicide:
'You're gonna die anyways, so why rush it? Worst case scenario, you die anyways, best case scenario, you get to be happy sometimes before that.'

It's a permanent solution to a temporary problem. It makes it impossible for things to ever get better.

I'm kind of dismayed at how many people turn 30 and be like "well life's over time to stop taking care of myself and die slowly."

Some of my friends are starting to look like they could be my dad or uncle and we haven't even been out of college ten years.

I have squirrels and I'm poor and ugly, that's the same, right?

Unfortunately no. Though, did you get a scientific process, procedure, or device named after you?

I've been looking back at my old life and decided to look to the book of psalms for a prayer on revenge. There, I've found Psalm 109. Typically, you hear advice for moving on and simply living your best life but finding that there's a prayer meant to invoke the wrath of God on your enemies is far more assuring. I'll post it here:

Spoiler: PSALM 109

Hold not thy peace, O God of my praise;

2 For the mouth of the wicked and the mouth of the deceitful are opened against me: they have spoken against me with a lying tongue.

3 They compassed me about also with words of hatred; and fought against me without a cause.

4 For my love they are my adversaries: but I give myself unto prayer.

5 And they have rewarded me evil for good, and hatred for my love.

6 Set thou a wicked man over him: and let Satan stand at his right hand.

7 When he shall be judged, let him be condemned: and let his prayer become sin.

8 Let his days be few; and let another take his office.

9 Let his children be fatherless, and his wife a widow.

10 Let his children be continually vagabonds, and beg: let them seek their bread also out of their desolate places.

11 Let the extortioner catch all that he hath; and let the strangers spoil his labour.

12 Let there be none to extend mercy unto him: neither let there be any to favour his fatherless children.

13 Let his posterity be cut off; and in the generation following let their name be blotted out.

14 Let the iniquity of his fathers be remembered with the Lord; and let not the sin of his mother be blotted out.

15 Let them be before the Lord continually, that he may cut off the memory of them from the earth.

16 Because that he remembered not to shew mercy, but persecuted the poor and needy man, that he might even slay the broken in heart.

17 As he loved cursing, so let it come unto him: as he delighted not in blessing, so let it be far from him.

18 As he clothed himself with cursing like as with his garment, so let it come into his bowels like water, and like oil into his bones.

19 Let it be unto him as the garment which covereth him, and for a girdle wherewith he is girded continually.

20 Let this be the reward of mine adversaries from the Lord, and of them that speak evil against my soul.

21 But do thou for me, O God the Lord, for thy name's sake: because thy mercy is good, deliver thou me.

22 For I am poor and needy, and my heart is wounded within me.

23 I am gone like the shadow when it declineth: I am tossed up and down as the locust.

24 My knees are weak through fasting; and my flesh faileth of fatness.

25 I became also a reproach unto them: when they looked upon me they shaked their heads.

26 Help me, O Lord my God: O save me according to thy mercy:

27 That they may know that this is thy hand; that thou, Lord, hast done it.

28 Let them curse, but bless thou: when they arise, let them be ashamed; but let thy servant rejoice.

29 Let mine adversaries be clothed with shame, and let them cover themselves with their own confusion, as with a mantle.

30 I will greatly praise the Lord with my mouth; yea, I will praise him among the multitude.

31 For he shall stand at the right hand of the poor, to save him from those that condemn his soul.

Someone tried to steal my cellphone but I managed to get it back, but in the process I hurt my wrist really bad. Then one hour later I got fired.
There are so many bad things going on to me right now and this happens today. Little old lady at the bus stop hugged me and said everything is going to be okay while I was sobbing. That was like, the only good thing that happened today.
I can't do any positive thinking or whatever the fuck. My wrist hurts like hell. I needed the job.

 

[Ultrapenguin]

I gave someone some furniture and helped them move it, and they wound up giving me a container of sushi and a big bag of fish eggs. Just like a quart sized ziploc bag stuffed full of bright orange roe they got from a supplier. I'm pretty jazzed.

Although I made a joke to them that this is probably how it would work if you dated a mermaid in modern day, she tells you she's ready to take your relationship to the next level then comes back from the fridge and just hands you a ziploc bag full of fish eggs, and I wound up weirding myself out a little bit.

Thus far fresh broccoli and roe is a pretty ace combination.

If you don't have kids and aren't rich and successful there really isn't much point in living

But there wasn't any point in living to begin with. The idea that being rich and successful changes that is contradicted by the countless fabulously rich and famous people who are completely miserable.

Someone should either kill themselves or take care of themselves, because if they aren't going to do the first then not doing the second is only going to ensure that the time they do have is as unhappy and limited as possible.

Just watched Gurren Lagann: The Lights are Stars and fucking blasted Clockwork Angels on the way there. I'm going to OD from all this hopium. WE ARE SO FUCKING BACK.

Life is only worth what you make it worth. If you value material things above all (like most people seem too), then it's worthless or becomes worthless over time regadless if you get it or not. If the point of life is to let the flames of hope, love and peace burn through your legacy and your descendants, every moment becomes infinitely more precious than gold. It's really just a matter of where you invest your time, talents and freewill and most people do it poorly. Fortunately, as long as you aren't dead, there's a way.

Were we in the same theater? Were you the guy who said "Get over it" when they were mourning Kittan?

 

[Geddy Lee's Fee and See]

I don't think so. My theater was dead silent for the entire time Kittan sacrificed himself to stop the Death Spiral Machine from killing the Dai-Gurren brigade.
That guy's a fag btw. Gurren Lagann is one of those anime where the deaths really hit you in the feels. There's something deeply wrong with you if it doesn't at least make you want to pour one out for a fallen homie, especially one that you've been following for quite awhile.

I think the impact is softened by the entire series being condensed into four hours, you don't really have time to get invested, Kittan probably got like three minutes of screen time across both movies, one could be forgiven for not giving a shit, but yeah that guy is a fucking faggot. This was my first rewatch since it aired and it was pretty fucking breakneck, but apparently the dub is good so I can rewatch while I work.

It sure hits different as an adult.

I agree. Watching the entire anime series and then watching the movie makes that scene more powerful than watching just the movie because hw's more of a character in the show. He gets 15 minutes top in the entire 4 hour movie duology whereas he probably has somewhere between 4-6 times nore screentime in the anime at minimum, so I can understand where that dude is coming from a bit. Still though, the fact that Yoko's heart gets broken two times by absolute madchads fighting for the future they will never see and a future with her specifically in addition to Kittan sharing the same fate as Kamina always tore me up. I can understand not bawling like a baby, but there's some deaths where even if you don't fully get the context, the weight of that person's sacrifice for the greater good justifies that moment of silence or two. Yoko can't just get a fucking break.

I feel like I am overanalyzing it, but Gurren Lagann is a masterpiece. It's definitely Gainax's best work (moreso than Evangelion imo) and one of the last great shounen animes before the genre become extremely formulaic and just dull power level masturbation fests towards the mid 2010s. I always recommend the anime to people in addition to Nadia:The Secret of Blue Water (minus the filler episodes).

Probably because it's a total parody of exactly that, but manages to lampshade it without negating the themes it's in service of. A pastiche, I guess. It's clearly one big joke about power creep and repetition, but not at the expense of the concepts it's poking fun at. It feels like they said, "Okay, if we're gonna do this, let's go all the way with it." Like the intention was to make shonen and mecha obsolete by just taking it to the absolute extreme.

And it's great. Can't wait to rewatch.

I'm a fat sob going the other way post 30, but it amazes me how many people who are 28+ act like old people. "Whelp, we're in vegas, but it's 11pm time to go to bed." Wtf.

 

[CastrationFrustration]

I'm in a bit of pain today. Haven't been medicating fully/consistently and I'm paying the price. Doc wants to add on more medication to my regimen but I'm not completely down with the idea. 20 years of the same bs. I'll find a medication that works and then a couple years later it stops working and I have to start from scratch.

 

[anustart76]

It's looking like I'm about to lose another elderly relative. I feel awful for my poor dad, who it's going to hit hardest.
Meanwhile, my boss chewed out my colleague who really didn't deserve it. I know she'd do the same to me if I'd been in his shoes. I really hope I can find something better soon.

 

[Stanley the Gay Wizard]

I have not been on this site awhile because i inherited the superpower from my bloodline (having bad knees that somehow tear their ACL out) so i had to go to surgery and also family drama, mr. gaygent had to look over me during this time as well.

Some people just lose the will to live too early in life. Honestly, as a 27 year old going onto 28, I feel like life NEVER has to lose its luster so long as you believe that life is worth living no matter what and pursue your dreams (after a peeiod of sane introspection of course). I've seen 70 year olds that have more energy than most 20 year olds nowadays and it just makes me realize most people are broken, not by some system or government directly, but by not pursuing what they truly want out of life and not forming meaningful connections with others. Gay rant but you get the idea.

I really fucking hate the corporate world with the rage of 1000 suns. Never have I seen something so soulless, despair-causing, artless and fundamentally anti-human before or since. No wonder these haughty faggots are hired to shout down at their underlings: they're attackdogs for manaqueerial faggots to milk your lablr your passion and your life for their profit. I'm not against hard work or functioning capitialisn at all, but I hate this thinnly veiled corporate slavery that the modern economic climate thinks is best for their profit at the expense of their workers. Half assing work will always be the best solution to give these turds the finger.


I'm sorry for your dad though. I've never experienced the death of someone I've loved but I can imagine it's life-shattering, even if you know what's coming. My condolences.
