than to stare at a fucking clock. You can't change yesterday... it's gone, and it ain't coming back. Why worry about what you can't change? God (or whatever) gave you one shot at today. Don't piss it away fucking whining about what didn't go your way yesterday, or what you think is not going to go your way tomorrow. Not happy??? The only person who decides if you're happy or sad is YOU. Shit makes you unhappy? YOU fix it. Believe it or not, that's your fucking problem to solve; nobody else's. I guarantee you're never ever going to get get better sitting alone in a room, staring at a clock Internet buddies doesn't count, either. We're not really real.
Believe it or not, even one person... a little person, not a celebrity or a billionaire...can make a real difference in many lives, right here and now... but not if they think that posting online pictures of a fucking pizza, or complaining about how much their cigarettes and beers cost, actually matters to anyone.
So many people in the world have real problems: No food; no shelter; no access to basic education or basic healthcare; religious persecution; political persecution; rape; murder.
I'll bet you a 12-pack of whatever shit you usually drink that there's some group within 10 minutes of where you live that's actually trying to make their own little corner of the world just a little bit better place for everyone else to live. You should go check them out. You'll probably be amazed to find everyone's pretty happy, but it won't be because they won the fucking lottery. They're happy because they're using their free time to try to help others, not to bitch about stuff they can't change.
Give it a try... you have absolutely noting to lose, and everything to gain.

I think that has been tried before, it is called the Roman Catholic Church. You know those guys with the golden hats that everyone gets together to wave and pray to.
I'll have none of that.
Starving kids? Not my kids not my problem, not my f*cking problem...
I already pay about 60% Taxes, that's not my problem to start my own safety net for everyone.
Unless you live in another country. Take what you paid in federal and state taxes, add your local taxes and personal and local taxes. Divide all of this by your total income. There is no way you get above 30%.
3 packs of cigarettes at $14 a pop, $12 tax = $36 a day which is taken after tax income.
You claim to make over $100k. You probably pay 15% federal and maybe 5% state. Your cigarette tax comes to 13% which you could obvously reduce. You pay something less than 10% on whatever else you buy due to sales tax. You are still not at 60%. Not even close. You may need an accountant if you can't do this stuff yourself. As a former smoker, you need group therapy. I doubt you can quite by yourself. The group setting helps. You aren't going to get to retirement at 3 packs a day.
How the hell do you work and get in 60 cigarettes a day. I doubt that you can smoke in your workplace. That's 3.75 cigarettes per waking hour assuming you don't smoke in your sleep. If you worked for most companies, they wouldn't put up with all of your smoke breaks. You need help.
I used to smoke 40 cigarettes a day in the 1970s. We were allowed to smoke in the office.
I started coughing so bad I decided to quit. Joined a group therapy called SmokeEnders, 15 weeks of screwing up our regular habits associated with smoking. By midway 20 of 22 people quit. The rest of the weeks we cried and stormed out and tried to beat up each other. When we finally 'graduated', we were so well brainwashed I never felt like smoking after 1977. Very effective.
I dont see ads for SmokeEnders anymore.
Cheers

I did Smokenders as well. I think now they prescribe drugs
Make 40 exempt status, see 16 of it. Not sure what to tell you other than that.
It's a wonder you can buy your pizza.
There was a longer post that I guess you deleted. To that, I want you to know that there is no hate. Just trying to keep it honest. I pay hefty taxes too and resent the bloodsuckers as well.
It is what it is and it beats the hell out of some third world places I have had to work in. We don't sleep on a dirt floor with a blanket for a front door not knowing when we will eat next.
We have it good. You have it good. You seem not to know it.
Yes we have it good, but will it stay that way? Will we be good ancestors, or let the future settle for worse?We have built great things, let us make sure they are not wasted.

Haven't seen you posting much lately, so, an even BETTER post!

'We are not really real'. You touched upon the Hindu philosophy of everything being 'Maya', the unreal. But Pepperoni is real.

Everything that doesn't go away when you quit believing in it is REAL.
Too much is never enough
Damn strait.
People want to blame there miserable lives on others because they cant/will not, own up to the responsibility for there own lives.
Have fun out there. I'll have another beer!
Cheers
: )
. LOL!
Well, maybe pizza helps.
Good luck
...but I really don't believe BH is as miserable a human as he depicts himself to be on this sub forum. His posts elsewhere aren't nearly so downbeat and whiny. I'm pretty sure he's just playing and it adds to the fun when others play along too. He certainly knows how to start and prolong forum threads.
how my imaginary internet buddies are doing. It turned into a bitchfest by not me this time. Some of my imaginary internet buddies went off the deep end.
I think some of your imaginary internet buddies are beginning to tire of your woe-is-me schtick.
where was the woes? I didn't read that in the OP.
I don't know how this exploded into a hate fest.
I'll change my password here and go away for awhile.
thank god I am not on facebook.
I recently upgraded my system so I'll take a break, as it can get into marketing b.s. at some forums I don't need more things to buy. Some people are pissed, better to run away before I get shot.
see ya! be back perhaps later, if not sooner.
see ya all!
... Gak! 's post was more a response to your numerous previous posts (mostly here) where you inform us of your personal woe, aliens, alienation, financial collapse, civilization collapse and general nihilism. Much less a response about relativity. Personally speaking, I don't believe you're like this in real life. Others apparently believe differently.
I am very unstable,
I believe in all of that stuff, but one has to come to their own conclusions. I am not forcing anyone to agree, even though true from my felt presence of experience.
You tell the wrong guy in a hospital that I spent over $200k on stereo equipment in 20 years I could be looking at a lobotomy.
I am very unstable, yes so be forewarned. I have vast beliefs of grandeur but they are in no way delusions as the naysayers would demand that they are.
Answer yes to getting so called help too. There is nothing else I can do.
Cheers!
