So the solution to my problems is a lobotomy? 🤔
This is exactly why you should trust your car dealer to get you a better car for the same monthly payment. Some people might tell you that you’ll be making those payments for longer, but that’s the future, and the future doesn’t exist.
Found the repo company owner lurking on Lemmy.
If the interest rate is lower than inflation, it makes sense to finance.
The debt becomes relatively cheaper over time.
But that’s only if your budget has enough headroom for inflation.
Personally, I tend to think that the past and future exist “already” in a sense, as part of a single object along with the present
Yeah, light cones are hard science and a pretty good indicator that the future will exist if it doesn’t already in some other sense. I don’t think the universe is deterministic, but it is at least probabilistic.
The deterministic universe?
block-time/eternalism, though determinism is a consequence of that

Fuck I miss having some proper choring. I used to mow five acres of swamp with a push mower then paint a room or install flooring after working a full day.
Gods I was strong then.
What you are suffering is realizing this illustration was made by AI and the faux-meaningful quote comes from god knows where.
What you are suffering is online smuggery and faux intellectual superiority imagining this is a new philosophical concept.
imagining this is a new philosophical concept.
Where did I “imagine it’s a new concept”? Neither you nor the other commentor can apparently read basic English. The fact I was criticizing this quote as unsourced doesn’t imply the overall idea is new.
It’s obviously not novel; I called it “faux-meaningful” because it’s shit somebody stoned in their basement has thought up a billion times and taken as profound. “Like, wow, bro, the future and the past don’t really exist; they’re just imagined and remembered. Fucking crazy, bro.”
Really have to be a Zen monk with two left hands and Charlie Brown smoke scribbles coming out of your head to think up a crude, generic version of a basic cognitive behavioral therapy intervention.
Sorry to hear that you don’t have two left hands.
I think that’s his right foot, tucked up behind his left knee.
Yes, clearly. It was an attempt at humor; guess it didn’t land. The art doesn’t really look like AI to me, but I was responding as if it were, thus incorrect numbers of appendages. Anyhow, carry on.
You having claimed otherwise is the LLM equivalent of hallucination. More so if you double down and insist you’re correct.
I said that the quote comes from god-knows-where because whoever created the zero-effort trash in the OP didn’t bother to attribute it. I didn’t “claim otherwise” because I said, in plain English, that the illustration was generated and made no judgment about the quote except that it was faux meaningful (it still obviously is) and had no attribution. The fact you’re trying to lecture me about this when you apparently can’t even be fucked to read what I said is hilarious.
I would’ve appreciated you sourcing the quote if you didn’t decide to also act like a sniveling little cunt about a mistake I didn’t even make.
U mad?
I mean, at the other two commenters dreaming up strawmen to be smarmy over? Yeah, kind of; I prefer it when people acting so smugly confident in what they’re saying can back it up with at least a 5th-grade reading level.
This comment can only have been made by a cool cool guy.
Can’t say shit on substance so you try and tone police as a hollow substitute.
Just like 95% of “wholesome” content online…
Anything to avoid reality. Toxic optimism is wild.
Being happy shouldn’t be forced, nor should being wholesome.
This has a real “How Can Mirrors Be Real If Our Eyes Aren’t Real" dumbass vibe to it.
Yea, but it’s relating actual advice: Stop letting things absent of the moment ruin the moment.
That’s great for people ruminating on things. Sure, it’ll be WAY less meaningful in 5-15 years when the food/water wars start becoming a reality, but it’s still solid advice for anyone worrying about how Brady responded to their latest attempt at flirtation…

There’s Buddhism as practiced over centuries in a variety of ways in many countries. And then there’s meme/bumper-sticker Buddhism. Your comment is true of the latter.
Of course! I’m not suffering from an accident because the past doesn’t exist! It’s just my memory of the accident that causes daily issues, pain, and medical costs associated with having parts of my body removed (which got removed from a thing that, as previously mentioned, doesn’t exist)
While it might not make a difference to you, the accident doesn’t exist. All of the consequences of the accident, from when it did exist and was present, are however very real in the present.
Do illegal shit. Once it’s out of the present, it no longer exists, and you wont have to worry about the consequences.
I’ll suffer whatever I want.
Is this a real quote from somebody that practiced Buddhism?
This is not only a Buddhist belief, but one that has been held by mystics and enlightened people for at least 3000 years. It is held to be not metaphor, but literally true and experienceable by anyone who cares to put in the appropriate meditation work.
I didn’t see the bottom text. Whoops. Legit thought this was a cliff hanger riddle. lmao
Fascinating as always.
I mean Zen Koans are a Buddhist thing as well. Which is right up that alley.
The comments here are not understanding that this message is about mental states.
Hey mate! Deleting as it’s AI.
No officer, I did not rob 35 banks. Those things happened in the past, which is not real. You never swim in the same river twice.
Proceeds to rob another 35 banks, but different ones this time
