Worst choice of my life was being born with ADHD.
Really should have thought that one through better, but it seemed funny at the time to play on hard mode and strafe-jump through the tutorial.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 5 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago) (1 children)

Same. That and realizing that I could just buy and eat chips whenever I liked rather than wait for parties.

I really wish I'd had that realisation a few years later or had the simultaneous realisation that just because I could didn't mean that I should πŸ˜„

[–] fossphi@lemm.ee 1 points 8 months ago

As a kid I thought I'd buy chips all the time when I grow up, but I don't. It's just not the the same. Maybe it's the crushing responsibilities of being an adult, maybe a money saving thing, I don't know

The worst part is knowing you had it since childhood but your parents were like nah, or just too poor.

"You were so great with all that but always had troubles focusing! You should've finished college rather or programmed those video games you love so much! You were always a night owl like me!" As she vibrates her leg so much her bfs used to yell at her about it, let alone me lol.

... Yeah mom. Yeah. Love you too.

Things are a whole lot better when you aren't tired every morning and afternoon or aren't clutching on bad drug/booze habits lol.

Fucking thank God for amphetamines though. Imagining if I had those in high school and beyond just makes me pissed lol.

Very little of your life is actually in your control

[–] Bizarroland@kbin.social 6 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Imagine that you're starting now.

The universe was created as-is, ex nihilo, 5 minutes ago.

What can you do to make your life better?

Not a lot. Some things, but not a lot.

[–] saboteur@sopuli.xyz 8 points 8 months ago

I believe you have to think a little more long term before submitting to the idea that "I can't change anything".

Can I change things in the next 1 hour? If you're broke now, probably yes you will still be broke after 1 hour.

But that's not how life works. We go to schools and develop ourselves in other ways, to have a better life 10 or 20 years later.

[–] brbposting@sh.itjust.works 5 points 8 months ago

I accept this as true for billions of people. How can those in destitute poverty do anything but survive?

But, say, upper-middle class westerners? Add in the most positive family dynamics and you seem to have an immense amount of free agency.

Curious if you agree or not :)

I would say there are limits to what one can easily achieve from their starting point in life, but your statement is so fatalistic that anyone who believes it might aswell stop trying and just give up on life.

[–] GBU_28@lemm.ee 13 points 8 months ago

Smarter every day recently had a talk with NASA engineers where he said something that resonated with me.

"Its often discussed that if you could go back in time, you could change one thing, and observe a huge change in the following events.

But we never consider that we have that same power right now, today. Actions now can influence a wide variety of future outcomes."

With some self reflection you can be the time traveler of scifi.

Some things are out of our control, but many are not, and simple changes, say, about our personal wellness or how we treat others can have big ramifications.

Why doesn't anybody stop me? This isn't my fault.

[–] Enkers@sh.itjust.works 7 points 8 months ago* (last edited 8 months ago)

Stop it!

...no?

Well I tried.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 5 points 8 months ago

Well did you ask?

Before anyone can stop you, you first have to tell them what they should stop you from.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 7 points 8 months ago (1 children)

If I ever find out a way to do so without damaging the space-time continuum, I'm gonna have a lot of words with that bastard Past Me..

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 5 points 8 months ago (2 children)

Screw the space-time continuum, they only invented for a TV show. Relativity Theory says time travel is possible, you just have to move faster than the speed of light.

[–] Viking_Hippie@lemmy.world 3 points 8 months ago

Dude, I'm super out of shape and don’t own a vehicle. Forget speed of light, I'm barely passing speed of tortoise!

Gotta go fast.

[–] SapphironZA@lemmings.world 5 points 8 months ago

And the choices of others.

[–] GluWu@lemm.ee 2 points 8 months ago

Don't worry guys, you can always fuck up even more.

[–] idunnololz@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I thought the title said everything happened for a raccoon. I was very disappointed when I read the meme.

Worst deciding of my life was misplacing about a quart of blood. My blood.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 2 points 8 months ago (1 children)

At least it was only a quart, not a gallon.

Yeah, but I'm never gonna get to be in charge of the mcfurly machine again

[–] Bobmighty@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago

I don't know. I've been digging into dense scientific work on the subject of consciousness. From what I've seen, free will as a concept is pretty much an illusion we evolved to feel.

[–] ininewcrow@lemmy.ca 1 points 8 months ago

Most relevant post I've read all day

[–] Harvey656@lemmy.world 1 points 8 months ago
[–] peopleproblems@lemmy.world 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

No, no. It's a hot mess because I made one very bad decision: to marry my highschool sweetheart who I thought I would enjoy her membership in the stupid slut club.

Turns out, you can't fix stupid and true to the club, she broke my heart twice.

[–] MacNCheezus@lemmy.today 0 points 8 months ago (1 children)

Shoulda listened to what the doctor said…
