If you have a headache, do this breathing exercise.
Complete inhale. Fast exhale.
Your headache should be gone in less than 3 minutes.
It just works.

There's someone said to open your eyes...
Especially when you are seeing the literatureof culture...
But sometimes, it's started to hurt you...
Please...
Blink at least once...

"I've seen things you people wouldn't believe. Attack ships on fire off the shoulder of Orion. I watched C-beams glitter in the dark near the Tannhäuser Gate. All those moments will be lost in time, like tears in rain. Time to die."

-Roy Batty, Blade Runner​

"The hand that mocked them and the heart that fed:
And on the pedestal these words appear:
'My name is Ozymandias, king of kings:
Look on my works, ye Mighty, and despair!'
Nothing beside remains. Round the decay
Of that colossal wreck, boundless and bare
The lone and level sands stretch far away."

-Percy Bysshe Shelly, Ozymandias​

A few bits of (my) philosophy:
1) Existence is suffering. All suffering stems from desires intrinsic to existence. Conflict is part of the nature of existence, and you must learn to face it, and accept that no one will be able to solve all the problems of the world.
2) Existence is inherently absurd. The world is a place where there are some many people doing so many strange and bizarre things that all butterfly into a million different directions, all of which influence you to some extent. All of it is too much for any being to process, and it's this messy interwoven string that makes everything in the universe seemingly random and so improbable that anything could ever happen under any circumstances at all. Trying to derive a greater meaning or purpose that, in any sense is greater or more objective than what one can discern personally, is a futile endeavor, yet is the curse of sapience. As Camus once described, existence is the curse of Sisyphus, except he wears a perpetual smile upon his face.
3) All things are temporary. Nothing lasts forever. The mountains will crumble to ash, the sun will engulf the earth and then fizzle out, and eventually every star in the universe will succumb to death, leaving space an empty void of nothing. But, so is pain, and pleasure and every sensation or feeling you will ever have. Both prosperity and ruin are just as likely to occur, and to then end. It is the fact that everything is limited that gives it value, that those experiences are not constant but that they will fade away. Time is a resource that is infinite, but one only gets such a small sliver to call their own which they must use to construct an empire of dirt.

Got some advice for bullied and unpopular awkward nerds still in high school.
The saying that jocks/populars/bullies peek in high school is bull-sauce, despite how much Hollywood wants to convince you it's true. Although it may be a comforting thought to a social outcast that gets bullied thinking that they'll have their day soon, it simply isn't the case. bullies are statically attractive, confident, and charismatic. All traits that can be helpful when looking for a job and significant other. It's not like those pro's just suddenly disappear after they graduate. And, the opposite is of course true as well. The socially awkward nerd does not automatically attain those traits after high school. The bullies, jocks, It crowd, and whatnot will still be popular in college and the socially awkwards, and weirdos will still have trouble fitting in. So, if you're one of those awkward outcasts in high school. Don't expect the world to magically change when you graduate. Work on your faults as much as you can early on.

Sure doesn't sound like the bullies I know. They were pretty average. Which may be even worse, actually.

I think there are basically two reasons why bullying happens: Herd behavior and the inherent cruelty of people. There's nothing that can really be done about it. All you can do is minimizing the possibility of becoming a target yourself, mainly by being social and standing out as little as possible (although if you follow the former well, you have lots of leeway when it comes to the latter).

Don't drink bleach.

 

[axelTHEGREAT]

Don't loot.

 

[Richman]

@axelTHEGREAT
But what if the loot is abandoned? I've found some great items on the ground and nobody wanted to pick them up, so i said "why not?" and took them.

 

[sterven]

Don't eat tide pods.

 

[BlackGeneral]

I didn't spend 2 hours to kill this Boss to just leave the Loot on the Ground.
Also don't waste your time playing JRPG.

 

[bigtiddyoneesan]

People's wills are just the loot they leave behing after they die 🤔🤔🤔

As for my advise, invest in mutual funds/hedge funds with savings.

 

[asdelcr]

Life works in constant cycles as you will have good days and inevitable bad days. Just remember to be thankful during those bad days because someone always has it worse than you.

 

[KatoShuu]

If you're trying to find a rare drop item by a boss for a quest, but never got it, even tho, you already kill it +100x
Just quit the game

Spoiler

or just abandoned the quest and let it be there in your quest view forever
