It’s wild that linear perspective was invented.
Like, for a long time, this was a completely reasonable way to depict the world.
But if I think about my mental model of what I’m seeing at this moment, it’s automatically in linear perspective. It doesn’t feel like I even need to try, it just is that way.
It makes me wonder what other concepts are shaping (or could shape) my perception in such comprehensive and indelible ways.
Kinda random but for anyone who needs to hear it… rest is revolutionary. Capitalism feeds on people being “productive” (i.e. producing capital), so take that rest day. Fuck whatever corporation you work for, use your sick days. Be a person, not a worker.
My reply is almost always: life isn’t a fairy tale. Some of us will remain single having never found/taken the opportunity to meet someone who wants to be with us because all life is without intrinsic meaning or purpose.
We may create our own meaning or purpose, but there is no part of life that is written in stone that simply “will be because it is ordained.”
I know who I am, an extremely “acquired taste,” who is often too cynical and very very much self loathing. Above all else though, and probably worst of all for my dating prospects, I never want to live with a dog lol
Life can definitely be absurd at times.

I’ve spent way more time being miserable in relationships or struggling with the aftermath of them than I was ever happy in one. I’m comfortable being single now.
I had two relationships in a row conclude on Valentine’s Day¹ I decided I might just be too complicated and dysfunctional to be in a long term relationship and better get used to being single.
Then I ranted about my relationship experiences on OK Cupid and someone found me. My sweetheart and I have been together for 11 years.
¹ This is a phenomenon. While singles cry for loneliness and day-after chocolate binges, discontented lovers engage in introspection about why they’re not quite happy with Mr. Right-Now and how big the gulf is between him and Mr. Right. And once they realize they are dissatisfied with their current partner, breaking up is imminent.
Where do I rant about relationships on Lemmy/Fediverse? I’ll try your method!
When thinking about an appropriate reply to make to a post, I often think wrong.
