I, on the other hand, am both of you guys.
“Okay, enough playing Stardew Valley, let’s be a responsible citizen of the world and check out how things are going in Palestine. (…) Okay, enough trauma, back to Stardew Valley.”
Currently Kingdom of Loathing and Divinity Original Sin 2 but otherwise pretty accurate 😆
And i use silly devices to create the horrors.
Me and the abyss give each other the lovey-dovey eyes 😍
Bravo
Happily so.

Why do people (not you op) cut off the source? It’s literally extra work.
The soure is clearly ifunny.co it’s right there in the watermark.
It clearly says ifunny.c🙂
Thank you very much for linking the source! I love her stuff!
It’s not working, they’re just making it worse.
Shhh, let us pretend everything is okay, we can’t fix it.
It’s hard when so many awful posts about what’s going on in the world keep popping up.
Did Plato ever consider in his metaphor that outside the cave may just be too extreme for most of us, like peering into the sun?
It doesn’t help that our fellow humans that hold the wealth have no sympathy and want to force us into the outside until we burn and are spent.
I love my little wall-shadows!
I came in to say something similar.
Good to see cynicism is alive and well.
The cave was less about escaping lies to see the truth in general, and more about recognizing that our material world is subservient to forms like “the good.” Unfortunately, the material world comes before the concepts and ideas that Plato thought of as more real than reality. What Plato thought of as escaping the cave was really constructing a cave around oneself and thinking that was real. We need shelter to survive, and while building houses is better than relying on caves, we can’t live inside all the time. We can’t rely on reason alone; we need to mix it with observations. If reason disagrees with observations, then the reasoning is wrong.
The wealthy want to give us as little shelter as possible, because if we get shelter, we might be in a better position to fight them. They don’t realize that it won’t work. Capitalism leads to suffering, suffering leads to anger, and anger without wisdom leads people to bad solutions. Rising nationalism risks international war, and international war is an existential threat.
Capitalism is antithetical to our collective well-being, and it certainly isn’t compatible with democracy or personal freedom.
The universe is a cruel, uncaring void. The key to being happy isn’t a search for meaning. It’s to just keep yourself busy with unimportant nonsense, and eventually, you’ll be dead.
god I love my vr headset
Escaping from the horrors that is called ‘reality’ by running a silly computer program called ‘video games’, on my equally silly little laptop that may or may not being able to run the said program very well for most of the time
but did you give them faces
Omg your PFP is Lemoncake!
no is sour
It’s that your character? Or someone I’m not aware of?
am sour
My personal life is pretty horror-free. The silly little devices actually give me a glimpse of all the horrors happening elsewhere.
I don’t believe those devices existed during the period of time in the Soviet Union known as The Horrors
Or are they just exacerbating them?
