Nothing matters. But luckily that doesn't matter, as long as you're having fun .

By the time you get too far down, there'll be some duplicate roles for most people.

So if really nothing matters, not even the fact that nothing matters matters.

Or for 2 siblings, or 8 cousins...

Ultimately, nothing matters.

Nothing matters.

So if really nothing matters, not even the fact that nothing matters matters.

When one takes the position that nothing matters, it goes hand in hand with the opposite that everything matters. They are essentially the same. What one is left with is what we do. How we act. Beyond the words, the touches, the feelings, the actions we cannot know what they contribute, if anything, beyond the moment. We imagine, we hope, we guess. One can get lost in despair or one can feed words and deeds into the great stream of life and know you have contributed.

But not in a paradoxical way. Cause "nothing matters" isn't some "this sentence is false" thing, and basically means "x=0", with the sentence "nothing matters" being some x. Can't build on that, because every other x is dead too

Last night while I was falling asleep, my PS4 woke itself up, made a bunch of mechanical sounding noises and eventually ejected the disc before returning to sleep mode. Is it trying to kill me? Was it hacked? Any idea what caused this? I seldomly use it and haven't really played it in a few years.

But it's a specktacular opinion!

If you watch youtube with an adblocker, does the video uploader get paid?

 

[Arakhor]

Almost certainly not.

If you feel guilty about it and they're on Patreon or are taking donations during a livestream, you can give them money those ways.

The Ecuadorian musicians I listen to have Saturday and Sunday livestream shows of about an hour or a little more. It's basically online busking, and people pay in a variety of currencies (their fan following is international; the only continent not represented in the chat is Antarctica).

Which ones? The EU ones have contacts on the side, the US ones have a 3rd pin if they need an earth.

Sometimes old ones just aren't grounded as such. You can find the adapters that take three post male and convert it into a two post male for outlets that predate.

One can get lost in despair or one can feed words and deeds into the great stream of life and know you have contributed.

Odd to find that as an "or" statement. I don't see any particular reason it would be. Or is that the stipulation that you are somehow found in that state. Dunno.

The "or" is related to seeing one's actions as a positive contribution and that call perhaps being a choice. "And" is fine though.

Sometimes they just don't, as Farm Boy says. If you open it up you can check whether there is a third cable or not.
