This continuous rat-race: The Omnipotent skylord dogs are inferior meltdown

[pellius]

Incontinent contentment.  Can't hardly wait.

None of this is going to end well for any of us.

My father had the IQ of a genius, skipped two grades in school, graduated from college at 19, had a legit photographic memory, and was a walking encyclopedia.

The last five years of his life he had the mind (and physical capabilities) of a child.

So since making money is a waste of time that would imply, assuming you don't like to waste time, that you don't make any money.

How are you even here using a computer.

I didn't say making money was a waste of time, but making a shitload of money was. Everyone needs enough money to meet their needs, and our needs aren't that great. Most people want money beyond what their needs dictate and end up in a lifestyle they despise.  The goal is to make enough money to have as much free time as possible.  This is what I have done and spent less than half my adult life working and the rest doing the things I enjoy.  Mind you I have never married and had kids, makes balancing the books a lot easier.

Not to offend you, but I think you've never been someone who pursuied physical fitness or achieved anything great in it, once again - this is not to offend you, just all the stories about coke, booze, etc...

now that I think about it the fact that you said "not to offend you" TWICE is REALLY passive aggressive

you can go literally fuck yourself

i don't care if this is the intranet and you're just a stranger who I've never met..seriously- fuck off

....furthermore, I'm not a tough guy by any means...I've been beaten up a lot in my life however i swear if i could then I would at least attempt to beat the living shit out of someone who tried passive aggressive shit like that to me in real life

then again, you could easily knock me out but like I said I would at least try

the fuck outta here.....if you don't like me say it up front--don't be passive aggressive with that "not to offend you" shit...you obviously don't respect me and that's fine but say the words "I don't respect you"

EDIT: the TL/DR version of above is this---if you don't like me then say so upfront...don't be a faggot and do the "not to offend you" gimmick twice....real life or internet for3mz i'm still a red blooded wop and I can tell when someone is trying to disrespect me even if it's in a tacit, passive aggressive way like that, bro

seriously--drop dead...we aint cool

Ah, I misunderstood you.

But a certain quality of life varies considerably among individuals. All we really NEED is food, shelter and clothing. Everything can be considered a luxury (sometime not essential for survival).

So having a computer alone tells me that you want, even require some luxuries, to enhance the quality of your life. And that's what having a lot of money provides. It allows you to enhance the quality of your life. Do things and have things that allow to enjoy life more.
A nice comfortable car that doesn't break down, having an a/c and a heater to keep the temperature exactly how you like it, being about to travel and experience the world, and to keep it bodybuilding related, to afford HGH to dramatically slow the aging process and keep you physical able to enjoy these things for many years.

After all, whats the point of having a lot of free time if you can't afford to do anything?

[_aj_]

Are you serious.  Making a shitload of money is tough, a complete waste of a life.

Broke fucks always think this way

not if you can work 5 hours a day on a coctail of drugs and alcohol like the big nosed Paki terrorist.

He must have been quite a man and you obviously inherited some of his intellect.
I know it was hard seeing him failing in his last 5 years and that is sad.
BUT, he had decades of a high functioning life.

Thus, the vast  majority of our lives are well worth living.

Actually, he was incredibly physically lazy. Never did a single chore in his entire life. Never threw out the trash, mowed or watered the lawn or washed a single dish. Just loved to read and eat. When he was the Deputy Direction of the State Dept of Labor and was offered a promotion, with much higher pay, to be the Director he turned it down. I remember asking him why and he just said "more work".

Now maybe RP may say it's a fair trade off of work and free time but he had seven kids to support and we weren't living in the lap of luxury. I got a job at 10 yrs old and always had one throughout my teens so I could buy more food. Powdered milk, canned ravioli and tuna which I kept hidden in my closet. I was skinny as fuck and I knew lifting weights wasn't going to do it by itself.

I agree with RP that if you are single and have no dependents then you can opt for more free time over work. But if you decide to have a big ass family then it's less about you and what you personal want.

The only point I was making was that it's so sad to see someone, anyone, just waste away. Either that or you die young which is another tragedy in itself. Mark Twain once remarked that it would better if we started out old and grew young.

I'm a Christian and believe in God but that doesn't mean I don't question things and see and admit that there are some things that obviously don't make sense. I mean, none of here our angels and it is God that is all loving, but if you could create a world for "your children" that you love so much don't you think that you could have done a better job?  

That's why I always say that a more interesting question is not whether or not God exist, something like the universe doesn't just appear out of nowhere, but a more interesting question is whether God is good.

JNN, I can understand being annoyed and insulted on this and other internet forums.
Obviously, I've had my share LOL.

The reason it can often occur is that "the internet ether" tends to be 99.999% anonymous.
Nobody has to be accountable for their words or statement.

Look at the ID's used by 99.9% of getbiggers.
Hardly anyone uses their name or real pic ( face).

I find that best solution is to ignore or go with it and laugh.
The biggest naysayers NEED a response to get a full satisfaction.
It's like making prank calls when I was kid 50 years ago.
If they just hung up, it wasn't any fun.
That's just the nature of forums and it's not likely to change.

Always remember, if it really starts to get to you.
DON'T come on the site for awhile.

I did and after a few weeks, I came back chilled out with  a renewed  laid back attitude.

Actually, JNN has been gone for years. His second coming is very recent. I don't think he's been back even two months yet.

Whoa hold your horses you gangsta you. I simply had an impression that you've always been a skinny guy with abs so you saying that you don't care about working out anymore made me think "It's not like he has ever accomplished much in that area anyway..". That's all it was, I have no negative feelings towards you, at all, you are not even annoying poster here.

[da_vinci]

not if you can work 5 hours a day on a coctail of drugs and alcohol like the big nosed Paki terrorist.

Or if you can work a job that you like (like me) and don't count how many hours ave you worked today or yesterday. I've been working all day from the early morning today, I have to force myself to go do something else, it's good that gym time is comming and I have a good party tonight to attend so no more work till sunday.

Howard--i'm up front

you're an idiot...I don't like you

i know we all joke around about hoping you kill yourself but I sincerely hope you decide to use a shotgun like a hairdryer in the very near future

Now that is living the dream! Seriously. Doing what you love and getting paid for it is as good as it gets. Everyday is a weekend.

Congratulations!

If it's not too personal can you tell us what you do?

[pellius]

Umm, anyway. Getting back to Coleman coming out of retirement.....

[johnnynoname]

you think it's a good time to talk about a black dude when a angry Italian guy full of truth serum is on a roll, pellius?

I'm pretty much coding and managing a few web projects of my own currently. Used to work as a freelancer back in the time. It has been my hobby from a very early age, when most people had no idea how to turn on a computer so it happened naturally, there were no questions "what should I work" ever.. Yes, it's a blessing, make no mistake tho' - it's a hard and mentally taxing work, some days after 12 hours straight in front of a monitor I go out and feel like an alien/zombie for some time, it "throws off" your usual state a little bit. It's good that I'm outgoing, helps to keep a balance.

Of course, nothing truly rewarding and fulfilling is easy.

One of the reason we have the culture that we have today is that people, particularly young people, have no higher meaning in their life. They believe in nothing, stand for nothing, and want to do nothing. "Generation nothingness" was a very apt term coined by gh15.

So the natural progression is hedonism. Living just for pleasure. Which is great for the moment. Which is the "fun" happiness as opposed to the content having a purpose happiness I mentioned before. And when you live just for pleasure you become shallow, empty, vapid and hollow. Life really has no meaning. So you want to be noticed. And it doesn't matter how you do it. The line of fame and infamy has been blurred. Look what people do nwt on social media? Look at what people do, the mass shootings, just to plant their flag and let everyone know you're here and that you matter and everyone will remember you.

[pellius]

Well, in retrospect, I'm not sure if I'm glad I saw it or not but I have to admit that when I did, I said, "Wow!" (No Homo)

That's probably true, tho I"m a huge hedonist myself. But I search for happiness in various forms - I have goals, big goals, I go after them with the force of allah, seeing results of hard work brings big satisfaction, just like working our intensely for many years and one day realizing that you look like a statue you once imagined many years ago. I like to have pleasures too, but try to limit them and sometimes I help oher people (to contribute for the collective good), it turns out as a pretty balanced hedonism. I have no faith in "life" or humanity tho', so I'm a cynical hedonistic asshole most of the time. Strange mix I know, but I feel calm and content at this state, every day is a good day.

I think you're referring to the type who spend all their youth and most of their times on their careers, and then plan to travel and enjoy life more when they're older or retired.

I like having some balance, I know I or anyone can die any day or get ill or have other problems. We tend to take things for granted such as health, family etc.

For me, when I have the opportunity to travel, I do it. This way I have no regrets regarding the things I enjoy.
