• Hey Guest,

    An update on the OFCOM situation: As you know, censorship around the world has been ramping up at an alarming pace. OFCOM, the UK’s communications regulator, has singled out our community, demanding compliance with their Online Safety Act despite our minimal UK presence. This is a blatant overreach, and they have been sending letters pressuring us to comply with their censorship agenda.

    Our platform is already blocked by many UK ISPs, yet they continue their attempts to stifle free speech. Standing up to this kind of regulatory overreach requires lots of resources to maintain our infrastructure and fight back against these unjust demands. If you value our community and want to support us during this time, we would greatly appreciate any and all donations.

I can't sleep, work-induced anxiety often keeps me awake until the middle of the night, all to wake up at 7am and repeat.

I started reading this forum before going to bed and realizing that there is an alternative, that nothing matters ultimately, has a soothing effect. I can sometimes sleep better because of it.

I read about people that live in a hell much worse than mine, and that puts things into perspective. Has anyone experienced the same?

The thought that life is meaningless rubbish and that I'll die one day anyway makes me feel more at piece
When I'm stressed I just think I'm gonna die anyway who cares why am I worried about temporary meaningless bullshit

One of the many aspects of Fight Club is definitely positive nihilism.

The book is also good too, if you haven't read it. It has some variations from the movie.

"It's only after we've lost everything that we're free to do anything." During the scene when Tyler gives "Jack" the chemical burn kiss on his hand.

A lot of people focus exclusively on the anti-consumerism message of the film, but that line is meant to be very broad and applying to anything.

That part of the movie always resonated with me too. How progressively letting go of what we found valuable frees us, including our aversion to pain.

This also translates to the complete lack of bitterness in Tyler's character, as if anything that could rot his personality had been shed long before it had a chance to do so.
