I too realized long ago that only the evil seemed to prosper.
So I became evil.
Join us. You know you want to.
Dude, you know you’re lazy when you’re replying to someone whose screen name has only four letters and you still shorten it for him. 
You can rent puppies? I gotsta get me one a dose.
Why not? You can lease kittens.
They do that at TV stations - the kittens have wee paws for station identification.

That’s him all right. I might throw out sock puppet accusations against the OP, but it’s not like there’s only one teenager per generation who discovers nihilism.
You know, just after I posted my response, I went to church (Yes, I’m an atheist that goes to church. It’s UU, so it’s okay). Our minister had a great sermon about joy, about being open to connection to other human beings, about how suffering may be inevitable, but our response to to it is not.
I started to feel a little bad about what I’d posted. I didn’t write out of compassion but annoyance.
Then, my brother (also an atheist and also a church goer) got a call from a friend of ours. His wife’s mother had just died. Our friend is legally blind. He can’t drive. He needed a ride to the hospital so he could be there for his wife. My brother and I ran from the church to his car and immediately went to get our friend.
We spent the next hour getting him to the hospital, finding his wife and her family, and waiting to see if there was anything we could do to help. There really wasn’t. Because friend’s wife’s mother had died less than 24 hours after being admitted, the medical examiner would have to take a look at the case and possibly do an autopsy. Friend is upset, but bearing up. Friend’s wife, who is also a good friend, was a basket case. So were her sister and brother.
And you know, my previous post just doesn’t cover the utter contempt I have for the OP now. Shit happens. It’s inevitable. If you’ve got a pulse, bad things are going to happen to you. The point is not whether they happen. It’s not whether you deserve them or not. The point is the connections you make between yourself and others. It’s being there for your loved ones when the shit starts flying. It’s pulling your head out of your ass, looking around, and figuring out what you can do to make things better.
Anything short of that is cowardice. Selfish, bullshit cowardice. So xkcd, stop cursing the fucking darkness and light a goddamn candle.
You’re so much better than me, it’s hilarious!
Some people see the glass is half empty. Some see it as half full.
And some see a lifetime of raising kids, having sex, surfing, having a beer, eating a nice meal, reading a good book, diving, watching a good film, playing a good computer game, making friends, dancing badly, kissing, mountain biking, having more sex, cuddling, lighting a fire on a cold night, listening to good music, being the first person to get into beds with new sheets on, hitting a perfect slapshot, carving a trail on fresh snow and however many other fun things you might care to name…and dismiss it as being “doomed to death in a shitty universe”
Well thank fuck for death. Immortality would only lead to ennui. Without a limit or end, then the experience would be lacking in context.
Which is why I thought he (the OP) should fuck himself with a broken broomhandle.
drink deep or taste not of the Kool-Aid spring, for a little poisoning is a dangerous thing.
You guys just reminded me… I need some new sneakers.
Is it okay if I just overthrow all legitimate terrestrial governments, set myself up as God-King of Earth, and obliterate, say, France? Because that works better with my plans.
Fuck off. I don’t want our species to die right now - I’m having fun.
Just because you’re determined to be a miserable whiny shithead, you don’t have to project your bullshit pointlessness thing on the whole species. It’s not all of us, it’s you.
Thank you for distilling my rambling post into a bumper sticker. Seriously, I love that, and I just might have to CafePress it to be the first sticker to grace my bumper.
And some want to take a big bite of it, chew on the glass, and spit blood at people.
When I pitted the universe, we couldn’t even edit our own posts, and WE LIKED IT! So what if the meant it was “impossinle” to find a decent universe? People got it!

(And I think it very interesting how the OP just assumes he’s a “good person.” It may very well be true, but it makes me think he hasn’t thought this through as much as he claims or believes he has.)
