This coming from the guy literally picking fights in the conservative community over this…

Don’t forget Blast Processing™!

Yeah, okay buddy. I suppose next you’re gonna tell me climate change is real, huh?

I’d try it.

It’s all relative ;P

Thanks! I loved the flow.

And I agree. Ups do not require downs. Just the opposite, in my experience. One person’s “up” can, and often do, lift the others around them.

Ah, a nihilist. I know my limits, and virtually nothing I can say will change your mind because it’s still closed, and you likely already have an answer to any questions you ask.

However, I’ll leave you with this:

You can see it as naive and idealistic, and sure, I get it. But I never claimed happiness is permanent. It’s a worldview, and those can and should change. How they change is entirely up to the individual.

You have more control over your path than you realize, and those who benefit from a defeated or complacent populace are terrified of you realizing it.

Well it’s never permanent, but I would imagine someone in good health, with strong familial and social connections who lives above the poverty line (person A) is much more likely than someone without one or all of those things (person B) to have a stable feeling of happiness.

Stable, in this context, meaning harder to shake or break.

An example being person A is having a good day and they get a flat tire. The issue is much more likely to be resolved without affecting their overall happiness very much, whereas person B’s day might be ruined, which is more likely to have a knock-on effect that can greatly reduce overall happiness.

This is not to say someone without those things wont be happy, just citing a few top level things that, when absent, can make someones life experience more difficult.

As far as under what circumstances would someone experience stable happiness? That’s different for everyone because we all have unique challenges in life and how we were raised can directly influence where we are emotionally and what it will take to find happiness.

One of the most sure fire ways to find happiness is in kindness and forgiveness to others, as well as yourself.

You people are so irritating.

I think it can be, but I don’t think it -is-

I’m thinking pretty soon desktop computers will basically just be video cards that we add RAM and Storage to.

-That’s- your one objection?? lol

Why? Why did I do it?

There is a lot of ahcktually going on in here for what was a decently good dad joke.

This is what Gboard gives you:
