    So I’m a middleish aged man.

    My philosophy is:

    Don’t be a dickhaed.
    Respect people.
    Be compassionate.
    Be open-minded.
    Be kind.
    Be understanding.
    Don’t be a dickhaed.

    What’s yours?

    Life is pain, anyone telling you differently is selling something.

    So long as you’re all consenting adults and you’re not hurting anybody else, do whatever the fùck you want.
    I don’t care.

    Nice thread.

    I've got three children. I try to show that life is full of fun. Mummy and daddy argue, but is always resolved. Sticking together is a given in our house.

    Rules are boring. Playtime is anytime. Before 7:30pm, then it's bedtime.

    Hugs, hugs, hugs. I try and answer all questions. The world is full of excitement and wonder. I never, ever want them to leave, but know that they must leave to live their own lives.

    Honesty is always forgiven, lies are not good.

    I tell my children I love them every night and how happy they make me.

    I work as little as possible. I spend as much time with my little ones as possible. I make my wife cum twice a week, within 30 seconds. We have a great relationship. She curbs my bull**** tendencies, without sarcasm or nastiness.

    a line from an old 90’s folk song has always stayed with me

    It’s nice to be important but it’s more important to be nice

    We all make your wife cum twice a week.



    Ps. Another philosophy of mine is to have a sense of humour in abundance :pac:

    Look after yourself, because in the end no one else will.

    After ten years of marriage, I know.

    Fitting it in, among three children going to sleep, is the hard part. Spontaneous romance is well gone.

    It'a once a week now. I say "let's start with some petting"

    theres ten percent of people at either extreme end of any issue that should be ignored completely and unapologetically in order for anything to ever get done or improve

    Truth. As a mathematician I concur.

    Remember as great as you think you are everything that has happened to you is luck and was always going to happen, not because you are great.

    Free will is an illusion.

    If you’re nice or a dick or a serial murderer.

    It’s not your fault it’s the way your brain was made and you have zero control of that.
    No.

    Lots and lots of luck required in the lottery of existence. Agreed.

    But then there’s the other important bit where you actually DO have some input into your own fate.

    Free will is real.

    • don't fu<k your friends over
    • the fact you can buy something like a new Apple monitor stand doesn't mean you should
    • Adobe graphic software is industry gospel standard these days. I'd buy a MacBook for the sole purpose of using final cut pro
    • don't buy or rent friends in any context.

    It’s well known it’s an illusion.

    Try google it, I’m not here to argue.

    The decisions you make are from a brain you didn’t create and it works differently than everyone else.


    Why do some people like onions and others don’t?

    Or like sports and others don’t?

    Matters beyond your control.


    “Free will might be an illusion created by our brains, scientists might have proved.

    Humans are convinced that they make conscious choices as they live their lives. But instead it may be that the brain just convinces itself that it made a free choice from the available options after the decision is made”

    Duuuuuuuuuuuuuude

    Everything is pointless and we humans are a greedy cancer on the planet and don't deserve this beautiful earth. So once you realise this you can accept we are doomed, not have any kids because that's pointless too and adds to the earth's demise, enjoy life and sit back, smoke your pipe, and enjoy fiddling while Rome burns :D

    What’s this “we” business? :pac:

    Simple philosophy really - never be afraid to ask for help, and don’t blame other people when things go tits up because you didn’t ask for help in the first place. People aren’t mind readers.

    I'm sure when they say 'we' it doesn't include everyone, but it's becoming more and more apparent that people are selfish, just in different ways.

    You know on a sinking ship and that whole women and children first thing? Yeah, right. Mup outta my way or I'll throw you overboard myself.
