Speaking of cunts, I came in here to say I've had a cunt of a day.
Time to get my washing off the clothesline, take a shower, and chill the fuck out. Today was awful.

[Arx]

Gah, stupid software manufacturers. Just because I don't have twenty gigs free on my C drive doesn't mean I don't have twenty gigs free elsewhere, dammit!

[Jopax]

Stayed up way too late playing Transistor, missed some classes due to sleeping trough them. Not too worried about that tbh, the subject isn't too hard and I can make up the difference on a different day.

What the real sad is, is that the piece I rushed to get done by the deadline two days ago to maybe get it published in a magazine wasn't actually sent. Got two automated gibberish mails from google saying that the sending was delayed for some reason because of the error on the recieving end or something. So that means that there's no chance of getting featured and I could've spent the time making something else :I

Re: Not wanting to live forever

Eh, I believe I could handle it.
Firstly, it'd really take a lot of the pressure off to do something with my life.
Secondly, my memory is absolute trash. Which is bad for things like remembering exactly how old I am, or worse, keeping track of my family tree, so I don't accidentally commit a taboo.
But the good news is, I'd be quite capable of living my life year to year, as I really won't remember the last.

The biggest issue I can see is what happens when I turn XYZ age.
Like, eighty, and I still look young. Or 130 and I'm alive. It would be a lot of explaining and I'd get quite worried about being taken to a lab somewhere.

nvm

[Bouchart]

It's only noon.

[MetalSlimeHunt]

Oh Christ, I haven't slept in two days and I still can't stop and sleep for another four hours.

[Rose]

I don't really fear death that much.

It's just ceasing to be. It's only painful for a bit. Many things in life are worse.

This is the problem. You'd have to move along from town to town when people get suspicious that you never age like the vampires in DF, except the government keeps much closer track of us. You can't even really flee to a different country without elaborately faking your identity, and eventually someone is going to notice that you've been paying income tax and renewing your drivers' license for longer than most people are alive. You'd pretty much have to go out and live as a hermit somewhere before the heat comes on, or stick to the most lawless regions of the world where the fog of war is too think to keep track of anything if you want to avoid being vivisected by the CIA.

Well, if living forever was a general thing, you wouldn't have to explain anything :v

Personally, I'm against eternal life unless society suffers some really drastic changes or we suddenly become able to travel into deep space and colonize other planets. We have enough people on the planet already, if eternal life becomes a thing, then the birthrate better decline quite a bit, which could lead to some dangerous consequences, like slowing down our evolution since we aren't breeding as much anymore.

Anyway, I'm personally ok with death. I've always felt that death is a natural part of life, as weird as that sounds, and that was before I actualy got into any religion. As long as I have a decent life and people (have good reasons to) remember me, I'm ok with death.

[MorleyDev]

This seems relevant

Personally I'd be totes okay with living forever. It doesn't matter what horrible things happen to you: You'd have eternity to get over it.

[Descan]

What's there to evolve? We already are so adaptable that the idea of living on other planets isn't far fetched, and if we really need to change somehow, we can do it ourselves rather than waiting for breeding and death to make the change, if it even does.

[Eric Blank]

I am sad, because.

"New version of dorf fortress is out"

Does not an excuse to skip work make.

[inteuniso]

Third shooting today.

Billions being poured into the Military-Industrial Complex now coming into question

[Orange Wizard]

Does not an excuse to skip work make.

It might do, if your boss is a DF player.
