Share some.

 

[Bad Itch]

"If it sucked the last time, it will probably suck the next time every time."

 

[dutchdisease]

Accomplishing most things of significance amounts to a marathon, not a sprint.

 

[Rhombus]

Simplicity out of all questions is the best way to an answer.

 

[Reluctantly]

When trying new things, it usually leads to disappointment.

 

[Bad Itch]

If you really like it, buy at least two so you have another one/set after you exhaust the first one. If you try to find another one later it will be discontinued or otherwise unavailable.

 

[Ex-User (11125)]

dont put people up on a pedestal so easily
shit happens, dont let it subvert happiness so easily

 

[Creeping Death]

There's always an exception to a rule.

 

[Reluctantly]

When a movie gets poor reviews, it's probably going to suck. Ignore the troll-friends that say reviews are biased. They just want you to watch shitty movies with them.

 

[Pressure's Spring]

Endure and affirm uncertainty.

 

[Seteleechete]

I don't care enough

 

[Reluctantly]

People generally tell people what they want to hear, not the truth.

 

[Creeping Death]

-pulling out is a great alternative to condoms
-Don't get mad get even

 

[Rixus]

- Trying to follow the crowd is pointless - they have no idea where they're going or who's leading. No one is leading. The crowd is just kind of following each other in random circles. If you think you're strange and don't fit in - don't worry about it. No one does. They're all struggling as much as you are. Once you figure this out, it becomes easier to integrate/disintegrate at will.

 

[Sinny91]

The truth will set you free, but first it will piss you off.

 

[QuickTwist]

Don't start shit with someone unless you know what you are getting yourself into.

 

[Mustafa]

Life is nothing. But nothing bad. You have to have something, that something is good deeds preceeded and followed by good heart.

 

[Rixus]

Don't start shit with someone unless you know what you are getting yourself into.

What on Earth would be the fun in that?

 

[Rixus]

The so called FriendZone often talked about does not exist. She's into you, or she's not. I've yet in my life to see that change for anyone. It is a concept designed solely to soften the ego of someone who can't quite accept the possibility that someone is simply not into them. Don't let that stop you thinking it's OK to be friends - just know that's not gonna change and it's not some weird classification of placement or somethings. Don't stress about things you can't change.

 

[EyeSeeCold]

people will expect you to be the same at their convenience

 

[Rixus]

-pulling out is a great alternative to condoms

I have to disagree with that. I intended to, but I was half asleep, it was fist thing in the morning and it was just dam comfortable to just leave it in. And so I had my first child...

 

[Cognisant]

Keep good documentation, always ask for receipts and written confirmation.

When someone lacks sleep, food, water, or any of the most basic necessities, his self-control immediately dwindles down... I am (also) speaking from experience. This is not just a simple case of common sense. It hurts more when you speak from experience.

 

[PmjPmj]

Being too honest can land you in shit.

Often ;/

 

[EyeSeeCold]

beware excessive happiness, you may be overlooking some other activity going on that's affecting you negatively

 

[Creeping Death]

Fuck bitches, get money


Like a boss

 

[Artsu Tharaz]

It probably is just all in your head.

Things tend not to be bad for long or good for long, usually things stay around the middle.

 

[Rixus]

It's rare that people are out to hurt you. Most of the time, they're too busy with their own shit to even notice you because the truth is that everyone's head is a complete mess and everyone is struggling to deal with it and to fit into the world and find their way in it just as much as you are.

When people hurt you, it's because they're just being selfish, greedy or because they think it'll make their own pain better. Or because you were just plain in the way. It wasn't about you.

Agreed

My default assertion now is that all people (including me, to keep humble) are idiots a priori. The fun extra about this is that when you remember a glass is empty by default, it is much easier to see it half-full.

-There is no true good and bad, different people have different interests which may or may not collide.
-Altruism is often (unconciously) not about the person one wants to help but about gaining influence or feeling important

If whatever youre doing seems too hard try a different way

 

[Minute Squirrel]

Crushing the ambitions, hopes, and dreams of others is inevitable in this life. At least if you want to live(and die) with any sense of happiness and satisfaction. That also means sometimes (maybe most of the time) your dreams will be crushed by others. The best thing someone can do is embrace this fact. Once you do, you'll realize just how much fun the game is, and how exhilarating it is to both conquer and to face the threat of defeat, loss, and being wrong. But at the end of the day winning and losing don't matter as much as actually getting off your ass and actively participating in this insane game of life.

 

[lucky12]

Damn squirrel.. that was beautiful.

1) You should be constantly surprised. If you're not, you live in an echo chamber. No human gets it all right immediately, and learning to get it right happens slowly and in pieces. Seek surprise, seek outrage, seek humbling. If you don't periodically experience one of those, you aren't being exposed to the true spectrum of humanity and life out there.

2) You are partly a shitty person

and/or

You are partly a good person

depending on which perspective you start out with.

3) Bad stuff doesn't last forever. Your moods are not reality.

4) With most of what you think, the opposite is at least partly true, including 3). You are a sack of decaying shit who doesn't know much. Accept it graciously you fucking asshole.

I don't know why they call it a blowjob, as there is no blowing involved.


Life Wisdom #587: Some things in the world have been named by complete morons. Never judge a book by its cover. Unless of course it is a "Dummies" book or a romance novel.

Well, it's the same as eating out. I mean, you shouldn't really use your teeth.

[Rixus]

Personally I think you shouldn't consume a
I mean, you know, mixing pleasure and pain is all very well. But biting some off and swallowing it just seems a little too far.

And although this is a great opportunity, I'm just too tired to make any flirtatious innuendo about demonstrating.

Annnddd, Rixus has finally gone to the land of weird.

Been there a long time. Going away now.
