Nice Guys Don't Have To Finish Last

Descending, Never Unending.

Haha. FML.

Hope is a 4-letter word.

A very bad one at that. I use it too much, despite it being of no use to me.
Upon reflection, however, I am handsome…
That being said though, I say too much, use too many words, too often, two times too soon, knowing too well it is to no avail.

But I am mad north-northwest when the wind is southerly.
I know a hawk from a handsaw.

Perhaps my madness plunders not my perception, but by happenstance pervades my judicious discretion, sawing rations from rationality and a log from logic, yes, in my madness, I use a handsaw to see in the hunt, whilst I would use a hawk for my carpentry.

Or more likely, a ruse to rouse the ire of rubes, to rue ruin, railing, ranting, raving, reproachfully approaching rarest clarity while appearing wiley, but rough, wary, and weary of our ravaged worn world.

Disgusted, dejected, digesting rejected infections, crudely spewing redundant morose discretionless poetics in lieu of romantic affection, effectively affecting deceptions remorselessly written, wrongs rightfully given, cardiac larcenies and existential homicides, coincidentally coinciding with the contemptuous harmonies, melancholic symphonies, and the cyclically perpendicular lyrics of my perpetually maddening mind.

Utmost unease or darkest disease? Minor madness or chiefly mischief?
Uncovered discoveries recovered easily reveal only certain uncertainty, curtailed sincerity, curtained transparency, jaded naivete and obvious mystery.

Yay! Though I shuffle through the Valley of Death, I shall fear “No Evil”.
Evil is laughable.
An omission of Evil is truly terrifying in its deceptiveness.

Precision is key, especially when trying to unlock things.
So, to that end, or rather, back to the beginning,
“Haha. FML.”

jephjacques: UN Hearing On AI Rights →

jephjacques:

The subject of this debate is whether AIs are “people-” whether they possess the same degree of personhood as humans, and whether that entitles them to the same rights.

You have heard all the arguments for and against the consciousness, intelligence, free will, and cognition of artificial…

juh-net asked: thanks for whatever that was, but stop trying to be my friend. It isn't going to happen. It's like you have this oblivious layer over you, it just prevents you from seeing what is really there. I'd really appreciate it and like it if you stop, I don't want to have to keep blocking you from every site.

You can choose to block me if you like, but that makes you the one oblivious from reality. Whether you don’t see me, or I don’t see you, either way, I still care, I always will want you to be happy, I’ll always want you to believe in yourself, and I will always believe in your potential, because there is no other option for me but honesty.
That doesn’t mean I want to be your friend, or date you, or be in your life, it just means I care about you.
That is reality, whether you acknowledge it or not.

Also, as always, I enjoy your poetry and creativity.

However, since I do care and you’ve asked me to stop, I will oblige you and not post any further comments on your page.
Hopefully me respecting your request is enough, but if you can’t accept me caring about you, then just block me and keep pretending I never existed.

quote

“Nice Guys” everywhere, listen up!
Being “Nice” doesn’t entitle you to anything.

“Nice guys” DO NOT use being nice as leverage or as an “angle” to get a girl.
Nice is what you are supposed to be. Default setting.
It is the bare minimum. It is the standard.
Because when you aren’t “nice”, then you are, basically, a complete asshole.
And no girl worth your time wants to be with a complete asshole.

Girls DO like nice guys. I know this for a fact.
They DO NOT like martyrs who feel sorry for themselves, or whine.

And, honestly, if a girl can’t appreciate a nice guy, she ain’t a nice girl. Her loss.
Brought to you by, “Epic Shit, as said by A.A.”

tumblrbot asked: WHAT IS YOUR EARLIEST HUMAN MEMORY?

Jealous, Tumblrbot?
Because you have no human memories?
Don’t feel too bad. Human memories are overrated.
And flawed. Every time a person remembers an event, the memory changes minutely simply by the act of “accessing” or remembering that memory.
So regardless of what my earliest human memory is, I would be incorrect in my description of it to you. I wouldn’t even be remembering that event. I would be remembering incorrect recollections of incorrect recollections.
That being said, I don’t remember.

You are dying and your world is a lie. →

An Excerpt from “You are dying and your world is a lie.”

“But if you think your deadline is real, go out in the woods and get a grizzly bear to chase you. Which of your pressing concerns seems more real now?

If you think your job is real, get cancer and be given six months to live. Then see if you give a fuck about your job.

The fears that come with your job, your finances, or your social standing are fears of things that aren’t real. If you lose your job, life will go on. This isn’t the way it used to be with the objects of our fears. Used to be, we were afraid of being eaten by tigers. That was a legit fear. You get eaten by a tiger just one time, and things change dramatically for you.

In first world societies, we’re not really in danger anymore. Sure, you can still get hit by a car. You can get a disease. You can get shot. You can get home-invaded or robbed or raped. But comparatively, today, true threats are almost nonexistent. Cave people got a cut and it got infected and they died. They twisted their ankle and lost some of their speed and died. They drank bad water and died. Food became scarce, so they slowly starved and died.

Those things don’t really happen much nowadays, but we’re wired to fear pain. So to compensate, we promoted the things we found moderately unpleasant to “pain” status and began fearing those things instead.

Stress. Discomfort. Awkwardness.

We used to make the choice not to cross a plain based on fear of the pain of being eviscerated. Today we make the choice to not start a new venture based on fear of the pain of failing.

We started saying things like, “This stress is killing me” and “Those people are exercising themselves to death!” and “I was so embarrassed, I could have died.”

That’s not pain. That’s not true discomfort. That’s not the peril to life and limb we evolved to avoid.

We’re not the fragile beings we’ve been trained to think we are. We’re not as weak (of body, of mind, of will) as we’ve hypnotized ourselves into thinking. But the only way to truly learn that — and to open the entire spectrum of human experience we’ve buried beneath the shiny veneer of modern existence — is to meet our own personal limitations and boundaries head-on.

It’s ironic. Letting yourself experience what you most don’t want to experience is the only way to truly be human.
