    Intelligence seems to have an inverse correlation with happiness. It is almost like it is somehow bad to know that climate change is going to kill us all, while greedy people work to enslave mankind. That is why we all turn to the internet to feed us memes for the short term distraction that provides - so thanks, addiction enabler! :-P

      I don’t vibe with the sentiment, but fuck that’s clever.

      Probably only narcissists don’t have things they dislike about themselves. But self hate is a bad, very unhealthy state of mind.

      Stamets, what do you hate about yourself? Is it perhaps learned behaviour, from shit parents? Parents who are neglectful and / or abusive should not form the basis for how we feel about ourselves. I speak from deep personal experience.

      Flip it around. What do you like about yourself? Don’t say “nothing”. If you had no redeemable qualities, you wouldn’t be so well liked on here.

      It says something when you do it right. Although closing the eye didn’t seem necessary.
