hey,
I'm still pretty burned out from all the confrontations on RF I've had in the past and will hold back from the discussions for a while. my own personal problems and the ferocity of debates on the forum interact and can be pretty toxic which is not good at all but I do actually miss the people here so I may drop by occasionally. I'm still figuring out how the best way to balance the internet with everything else.
Its only been two months or so since I've been away. it feels longer. In real life I finally got a job volunteering twice a week at a charity shop and its been going fairly well. my 28th birthday passed quietly on July 13th with a Chinese takeaway in the evening. After a year without a laptop I finally decided to get a Chromebook and have been figuring out how best to keep my privacy on the dam thing. [curse you google drive! I am not sharing my porn with google!] small steps but still getting better from depression.
I also joined an Objectivist forum, read quite a bit of Ayn Rand and contemplated being an Objectivist for a bit. I owe that to RF and its Atheistic Satanists for showing me the value of going to the dark side. At some point you just realise that life is short, the world is probably going to end and decide to put yourself first. thats what really matters.
Greed is Good. Greed is Right. Greed Works. Now, if you could all just be good altruists and show your compassion for your fellow man and give me all your money, that would be great...
It hasn't stuck but was a much needed break from the more destructive and masochistic dimensions of Marxism. I don't know what I'd call myself now but "confused" sums it up nicely.
Hope you've all been well and looking after yourself. does anyone else share the over-powering desire to develop an unhealthy and reassuring relationship with drugs and alcohol when they watch the news or it is just me?
