Positivity Thread

[(((I am NOT a jew)))]

The western world is on the brink of collapse, another line from revelations comes true on a daily basis, every popular youtuber has been completely neutered now and eventually 90% of the country is going to be troons.
On that note, not everything is bad all the time. I thought I'd make a gay thread where we actually say some things we're grateful for, good things that have happened for us or just talk about shit that makes us happy.
In other words, I'm a complete faggot.
I'll start.
I'm really thankful for all the advice and help I've gotten with shit on here. This site gets a very bad rep. I'm far from perfect and I know I probably piss people off sometimes but mostly I've gotten a lot of support and advice from a lot of people on here. I also enjoy having a place where I can just share opinions I have and find they're really not as fringe/insane as I thought and usually put into words by people much more concise than I am. I figure as long as you word yourself well and aren't stroke-level retarded, people on here will be more understanding/welcoming than I thought.

Just wanted to say you guys are some of my favorite posters here and legitimately seem like decent lads.

Something I'm grateful for:
Youtube is siginificantly less gay then I thought if you're willing to search/find channels that are much less popular than the grifters being pushed at the top.
I like that I have a site where I can still say faggot.

Everything might suck but as long as porn exists we can enjoy ourselves anyway.

Oh well I was going to be positive but then I noticed I'm not part of the "decent lad" club so I guess I'll just go die then.

And things aren't even bad most of the time, just because things on the news are bad that doesn't have any direct bearing on anyone's life.
I can sit around in an air conditioned living space drinking whiskey and playing the guitar, well fed and without concern that I'm going to have my home raided by cossacks or w/e. I'm not sure how much more anyone wants.

Yes, half the time that people whine about media, it's because they want to be spoon-fed like babies. Set up the funnel and just have cartoons shoveled down their throat like pig slop. There's thousands of hours of YT videos uploaded a day, anyone claiming there's nothing to watch is full of it.
My entire second window right now is full of tabs of youtube videos I have yet to watch, and there are a lot of shortcuts to finding way more.

Hell, even globohomo media can be great, documentaries by black people are some of the funniest things around if you watch them with mildly racist friends. But again, unless the media is tailor made to appeal to them like they're children, to them it isn't good enough.

It isn't like everything is great, there's a lot of existential problems in current day and social isolation is a major problem, but anyone claiming things are even mostly bad is a faggot.

Holy shit I forgot about you! Actually that makes it sound worse, jesus.
Thank you for all the advice and help.
And yes, I completely agree. That's something I notice on a much larger level that almost everyone does. For the left, it's that there's a patriarchal fascist force at hand that is keeping everyone down because of... videogames and jokes. On the right it's a globohomo 5d conspiracy to make everyone gay with... shitty movies and social media people shouldn't be using in the first place. Obviously I lean more towards the latter but I've seen people completely chimp out because they saw an aggression/slight by the newest capeshit or hot take someone said that has literally no effect on their life at all. I suffer from it too, but I also know it's unhealthy and that most of the time it's fine to not care about the world burning as much as everyone tells you you should.

I think one thing that I recognized this week is that I should be blessed to even be born into times that seem so dark. It might be hard to deal with, but there's something to be said for people who can live through grueling times where they see the absolute shittiness humanity can be and still keep on living. I think of how all this shit going on was being discussed in the Bible. People being shitty and society being authoritarian isn't some new thing and has been discussed by every decent philosopher and artist since the dawn of time. I'm happy to live through shitty times because they strengthen my core values and make me realize I at least have some.
Even social isolation, while very difficult, has made me have higher standards for the people I want to be around and develop a sense of loyalty to the people I have. It's taught me to be fine with myself, or at least start learning to do so.
Sorry for sperging but yes. Everything's fine if you don't let the world get you down all the time.

On a much lighter note:
Tubi's a great streaming service that I really love that I've only recently discovered. It's got a bunch of shitty rare horror films and absolute classics all in one. If you can deal with some ads it's probably the best streaming service available right now.

On the topic of the Bible, I am truly grateful to have read it and rediscovered God. It's as you said, OP, reading has given me a lot of perspective and has given me hope and determination to see things through despite how dark things seem to be. I'm doing things right now that I never thought I would ever do.

Also, dogs. Dogs are absolutely fantastic and every time I visit my parents, I always look forward to sitting down, having both my chihuahuas on my lap and lick my face and then relax as they both lie down next to me. Or most of the time, lying down on the other side of the couch because either they're done with me or they need leg room. I don't know which. But dammit, I love those little idiots.

 

[Pitch Light]

I'm grateful that we can hate.

When people can articulate what they love well enough to understand what and why they hate, my hope for tomorrow is reassured. There's a horrible chill of apathy and braindeadness in the air, and I am warmed every time I see the complacency defied.

I have known life without that spark of hate, and I am thankful every day that I can maintain the flame that keeps me warm in cold places and on cold days.

Too many people are concerned to an unhealthy degree of “Keeping Up With the Jones’s” and trying to one up everyone they know. Just seems like a miserable way to live.

I might not have the newest, fanciest stuff, but I’m happy with my life. I’m not what you’d call wealthy, but I’m able to live fairly comfortably and not have to worry about living paycheck to paycheck. Just being able to appreciate what I have and not constantly envious that someone I know might have a nicer car or a bigger tv or whatever is a healthy mentality and I’m grateful for that.
