Attainment of wisdom is both the cause of and cure for depression.

On the other hand

Ignorance is bliss

Bliss for the ignorant
Absolute hell for everyone else they're connected to

[–] shneancy@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

not always, i'm currently ignorant of the world news, i made the choice to become ignorant becuase my own head is making me sad enough, and i do not need the aid of 20 daily articles about mass killings of babies, oppressing minorities, or whatever bullshit the US is up to this week

Siddhartha Gautama would agree.

Well, I recently lost, like, 50% of my credibility as an intellectual as I stopped smoking. So I guess I am now somewhere in between both ends.

Hey, congrats!

[–] Wxnzxn@lemmy.ml 2 points 1 week ago (1 children)

Thanks, it did trigger a bit of a depressive phase, which I sort of expected, but I managed to get through that one.

I'm very proud of you, it is so fuckin' hard, and you did it :)

You still drink black coffee though, right?

[–] SpaceNoodle@lemmy.world 18 points 1 month ago (1 children)

There are more advanced levels where you replace the cigarettes with alcohol, then the alcohol with cigarettes again, then the cigarettes with regret, and finally you quit the regret cold turkey, and all that's left is the bitterness of the coffee to match your soul.

What if it's the hierba buena instead?

[–] Johnmannesca@lemmy.world 1 points 1 month ago

Oh, well I gave up cigarettes and still drink coffee black so just wondering

Advanced, except I don't smoke tobacco.

[–] Live_Let_Live@lemmy.world -1 points 1 month ago

You smoke coffe?

[–] OpenStars@discuss.online 4 points 1 month ago

I like coffee. It makes me feel good:-).

Does the advanced version make you yell at anyone trying to interact with you before 10 am because you've come from a long line of advanced users?

[–] niktemadur@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I feel like there's a bunch of parallel narratives to be unwoven here, and I'm hearing many of them at the same time.
My compliments to the meme chef.

[–] ameancow@lemmy.world 4 points 1 month ago

I started at advanced, I was born hating everything and scowling at imbeciles who didn't think about the world. I am trying slowly to get back down to "beginner." It's been difficult.

[–] ayyy@sh.itjust.works 4 points 1 month ago

Sounds to me like you have serious problems with addiction but instead of doing something about it you’re seeking validation via internet points and telling yourself that your addiction somehow makes you better and smarter than other people?

[–] MonkderVierte@lemmy.ml 3 points 1 month ago

Don't need no lung cancer for that tho.

The [hi]story of my life in a single pic. (My tarot deck is even the same as the one in the pic, a Rider-Waite.)

[–] bruhduh@lemmy.world 2 points 1 month ago

I'm at level where i mix cocktails for IV systems and jack it straight to my system

Ergo Balkan people are spiritual gurus because that's their breakfast.
