wtf |
Aaaaawwwwww. I just want to give out Daddy hugs to people who say that! Here, have this: |
| idk about you but the closer a girl gets to looking like ronald mcdonald, the more aroused i become. CAV where can we cast our eyes to @PoruMairu who thinks of himself a member of the true church. Helion. |
| Continue my exercise routine. I have a family history of hypertension, diabetes and arthritis. So this is really important. Maybe try my hand at dating. |
 |
| become an elitist maybe get to talk to the mythical creature known as a woman |
 |
| i experienced a lot of change this year and i've barely been able to keep up. change is inevitable but i hope that i can adapt better and find out more about myself next year. |
| Nothing All I can do is pray and hope that my country won't self implode from its own political stupidity |

| This year was hard and boring, and I except that next year will be even harder and more boring. I don't plan to accomplish anything. Guess I'll keep working, eating, and sleeping until: a) I die of lung cancer b) I get fired c) the world ends d) read a, b, and c |
| One man's freedom is another man's terror. |
| At present I am aiming to: Get a part-time job Procrastinate less Do well in my first year at film school Meet some more interesting people Go out more often |
Take care of yourself |
| Hopefully do some traveling to Asia (not sure which country yet), and I'll also be applying for dual citizenship in a European country, so that could be interesting. Other than that, just the same as always; work hard play hard. |
| The football field isn't the only place where you could use a good line. |
| - buy professional camera - read at least 24 books - 1000 completed anime |
WHAT?! Camera seems like iffy, just use your phone's camera...xD Dem 24 book/novel/literature seems like some heavy stuff dude... Yay! Aim for 1k anime. Ohhh... Interesting, you and @Yaoi-senpai will be a good nakama...xD |
| Stop being bored by everything and try being excited by life. Heheh, basically travel more and do extreme sports. |
| "In this world, evil can arise from the best of intentions. And there is good which can come from evil intentions" |
| I'd like to get my life back on track. 2016 was full of mistakes. Hopefully the opposite will happen this year. I can't have another 2016... |
| Getting good grades and do good in school to say the least. Other than that, live life. |

| To get a life. I'm probably asking for the impossible |
 "The other day I met this man, a nice guy, y'know? And we had a really good chat. Then I slit his throat and ripped his heart out through his chest. Does that make me a bad person?" |
| Finally get a job. And eventually with the money from said job, make myself a gaming computer. |
 |
| Sold my first book proposal so I guess writing that would be the first order of business Or, you know, play Horizon Zero Dawn until my eyes bleed. Either works |
Radiohead said: TheBrainintheJar said: This year I totally went hard in conventions, became a role-player and got into university I hope that in 2017 I'll be dead. Well that escalated quickly Werecat said: I hope that everyone here will accomplish their goals! As for me... I'll see what 2017 brings. I am going to try my best to study more often and to go to sleep early, but besides that... I'll just go with the flow. Oh, and I want to continue my '2 minutes of positivity a day' project, where I send someone a message that contains a message of positivity, like a compliment or just anything that might make you happy. Send some of that positivity to me too whenever you can :P I'm a pessimistic, y'know. I do good things so time will pass by more quickly. |

 I love Christine "If one advances confidently in the direction of his dreams, and endeavors to live the life which he has imagined, he will meet with a success unexpected in common hours. He will put some things behind, will pass an invisible boundary; In proportion as he simplifies his life, the laws of the universe will appear less complex, and solitude will not be solitude, nor poverty poverty, nor weakness weakness." - Henry David Thoreau |

You didn't understand my usage of 'pessimist', I see. I referred to a philosophical worldview, not assigning probability of what will happen next. |

Then that's not pessimism. pes·si·mism ˈpesəˌmizəm/ noun noun: pessimism a tendency to see the worst aspect of things or believe that the worst will happen; a lack of hope or confidence in the future. You believe your death is for the best, not the worst. You are hopefully and optimistic about it, not hopeless or pessimistic. This is an optimistic standpoint on the topic of suicide, not a pessimistic one. I would advise you to use the proper terminology for what your "worldview" is, that would be nihilism. Hell, it's even closer to cynicism than pessimism. |

I'm a simple person. |
| 1; Get out and travel to new places. 2; Watch more shows and read more. 3; Go to the gym often. 4; Start making my needs more of a priority. 2016 sucked balls. Its been a pretty crazy year overall but I'm pretty excited for the changes and adventures that I'll have in 2017. |

TheBrainintheJar said: Didn't miss you saying philosophy at all, just think you're incorrect. Ligotty & Benatar are not "famous", Schopenhauer isn't famous outside of philosophical circles. If you're going to start embracing Schopenhauer then you might as well start advocating for eugenics, anti-egalitarianism, antisemitism and the connection between race and intelligence since all of his philosophies generally existed as a means of promoting the superiority of the German man.ThrashMatto said: Then that's not pessimism.

Last time I checked, you can borrow a philosopher's ideas without agreeing with everything he said. Benatar is famous enough to be published by Oxford university and become the leading figure of antinatalism. As for Ligotti, he's popular enough to have 2K ratings on GoodReads. Sure, for the layman they're obscure but so what? How did you prove philosophical pessimism doesn't exist? |

TheBrainintheJar said: Except when that philosopher's ideas exist solely for the expressed purpose of proving German supremacy. Not really convincing when you grasp at things to prove something instead of having those things lead you to a logical conclusion.ThrashMatto said: Didn't miss you saying philosophy at all, just think you're incorrect.

Known in a small circle? sure. "Famous", nah.http://glq.dukejournals.org/content/20/4/439.abstract As for Ligotti, he's popular enough to have 2K ratings on GoodReads. Really? GoodReads is your metric for fame now? Even at that, 2K ratings is basically nothing. But if we're going to use goodreads as a metric for fame, lets look at some actually famous authors.C.S. Lewis - 4,101,865 ratings Lewis Caroll - 935,412 ratings J.R.R. Tolkien - 5,878,176 ratings H.G. Wells - 711,245 ratings Arthur C. Clarke - 770,113 ratings Isaac Asimov - 1,390,844 ratings Philip K. Dick - 699,895 ratings George Orwell - 4,012,244 ratings Arthur Conan Doyle - 1,269,428 ratings Ernest Hemingway - 1,465,369 ratings Jane Austin - 4,293,526 ratings Charles Dickens - 2,333,302 ratings Mark Twain - 1,871,646 ratings Leo Tolstoy - 773,068 ratings The thing is, fame is obtained when somebody has name recognition with people that aren't their audience, these authors have that. Basically nobody knows who the fuck you're talking about. Sure, for the layman they're obscure but so what? How did you prove philosophical pessimism doesn't exist? Was I attempting to? Philosophy isn't something you can prove or disprove, i'd expect somebody who supposedly knows philosophy to have understood this but I've seen you post a lot of shit that is counter to claims you've made in the past and makes it seem like you've never understood what you claim and only claim it because of hipster. |

Ligotti is indeed less famous than George Orwell. This must be one of the most facile arguments I have ever seen. What exactly are you trying to prove? That he isn't one of the most famous authors of all time? Well fuck me! |

| Losing an Argument online? Simply post a webpage full of links, and refuse to continue until your opponents have read every last one of them! WORKS EVERY TIME! "I was debating with someone who believed in climate change, when he linked me to a graph showing evidence to that effect. So I sent him a 10k word essay on the origins of Conservatism, and escaped with my dignity intact." "THANK YOU VERBOSE WEBPAGES OF QUESTIONABLE RELEVANCE!" |
| Graduate college and then find a decent job. |

| I plan to accomplish a lot. That's what's scary. Trying to accomplish a lot tends to end up me doing nothing. So there's that to avoid this year. |
