Memes that are too meirl for /c/meirl.

Rules:

  1. Respect the community. If you're not into self-deprecating/dark/suicidal humor then this place isn't for you. Kindly just block and move on. This is just how some of us cope.

  2. Respect one another.

  3. All titles must begin with 2meirl4meirl. This is for multiple reasons. One is just so you can be lazy with titles but another is so people who aren't into this kind of humor can avoid it.

  4. Otherwise just the general no bigotry, no dickishness, no spam, no malice, etc stuff.

Sidebar will be updated when I feel like and considering I'm Sadboi extraordinaire we'll see when that will be.

Well, it's the truth.

See my Princess Bride quote above.

Life is hard. Painful for a lot of it. But that doesn't mean don't live a meaningful life.

I'd argue all the difficulty is what makes anyone's efforts meaningful. If there were zero strife, what would accomplishment look like?

Philosophers have stated this far better than I can, since the beginning of recorded history in Sumer.

And if it seems things are tough today, read "Hard Times" by Studs Terkel.

(I've had chronic, frequently debilitating pain for 30 years. For the last year, just walking/standing has been very difficult. My grandparent's generation had it even harder - I remember, and understand better now).
