>if only I could have watched more kino....

How do you cope with wasting your life staring at a screen watching actors pretend to be a doctor or lawyer or cop or in love or whatever?

I'm alright. How are you doing?

Anyone here watch their parents die of liver failure and cancer simultaneously?

I'd rather escape.

>>220202328
most of what people do for the entirety of humanity pre TV was worse. People really do just work to death and prior to that just kind of sat around doing fuck all. cavemen could have scratched this meme into a wall
>if only I could have picked more berries...
life is inherently meaningless. If you want to create meaning then great but death is still oblivion

I saw my friend in this condition before he died. It was awful.

>>220202328
So what do you advice me to do?

A movie takes up like 2 or 3 out of a day's 24 hours and lately I'm always doing a simple and repetitive chore, like folding clean laundry or tidying my house, as I watch it.

>life is inherently meaningless

this is such a cope-tier reddit nihilist take lmao

you’re halfway there anon. yeah cavemen could’ve gone
>if only I gathered more berries

but they also painted on cave walls and told stories around a fire instead of staring at slop written by 12 executives and reverse‑algorithm’d to death

kino isn’t the problem. passive, endless consumption is. there’s a difference between watching Tarkovsky once a month and having Disney+ autoplay while you scroll your phone.

you don’t “create meaning” by pretending nothing matters. you just pick what you want your limited hours to orbit around. if that’s film, cool. if it’s lifting, writing, fixing cars, whatever - also cool.

saying it’s all meaningless so it doesn’t matter is just intellectual laziness disguised as depth. death being oblivion doesn’t magically make your Tuesday irrelevant. it just makes it finite.

>how do you cope being such a loser failure who wastes oxygen and resources watching and investing in liars paid millions to play pretend

Goddamn. If only I whipped myself more, I'd probably be stupid rich or something.
Then I could whip myself some more when I get distracted by a coastal sunset, and take up being a quaker.
Then I can whip myself some more, when I put sugar on my oats.
Fuck. I'm so indulgent. I must tell others how their time is so valuable and they shouldn't waste a moment, or they'll fuck their lives up.

Don't drink alcohol anons, it's not worth it.

How do you cope with wasting your life doing something I don't find interesting?

>>220202328
Pretty sure my girlfriend whose a bit older than me is getting this now due to her excessive drinking every night, which she does because she hates her life due to the actions to chose before she met me even though i have the money and freedon myself to put her on a relaxed life path but she wont do it out of some "muh independent woman" shit.

Now shes got zero ass. A big gut. Always depressed. SSRI popping. I hope the liver failure kills her. Any kinos like this?

This thread is very brown

I stopped 9 years ago and I don't think I will ever drink again. It just doesnt interest me and the thought knocks my tastebuds sick. Its so fucking pointless.

The only time it may happen is when I retire to some island somewhere with hot asian whores and I just chill on a beach all day. Then ill sip an ice cold beer.

What a waste of trips, faggot posting pozzed viewpoints attempting to sound profound but coming off as a teenager with 0 life experience or understanding of the world.
>>
>>220202328
OK, what's there to do?
>>
>>220206392
Alcohol is such a dogshit drug so naturally it's the one society makes completely legal and incorporates into culture. There's way better, and safer drugs that dont fuck you up long term. Alcohol shreds your internal organs and fries your nerves. Not intended for human consumption, obviously

>>220206708
You end up paying a price for any consistent use of a drug. Even pot can lead to psychosis.

>>220202328
Time enjoyed is not time wasted.
>>220206392
Only if you have self control issues and can't just drink a normal amount.
>>
>you must be on an adventure 24/7, otherwise you’re wasting your life
nigger, I watch kino even when I’m backpacking. I still need something to pass the time when I’m in my hammock. time enjoyed wasting is not wasted time.

>can lead
It's a much slimmer chance than what we know alcohol does to the body. It's not a carcinogen, for one

Every time you do something harmful to your body you incrementally increase the percentage chance of a problem occurring later in life. Avoidance is a far better deterrent than 'moderation', especially for alcohol which puts your liver to work when it doesn't need to. Sure random unavoidable things can happen to you later in life, but its a lot better to remove as many dice rolls as you can.

Ok but what you dont understand is how lethal sobriety is for some people. It's cost benefit analysis. A slightly shortened life that's more enjoyable overall vastly exceeds a longer life that is spent frustrated and miserable.

By your logic you should live to 120 years old in a closed off vat of preserving fluid that hooks you up to various life support systems and drips nutritionally perfect goo into your mouth to keep your cells as healthy as possible for as long as possible. Life is meant to be used, not preserved.
