Fuck.
EDIT: Fuck.
Is anybody surprised by this? In a universe so large that it defies the imagination, our solar system is definitely not that special.
Oh goodie, so there is a chance I could find people to converse with more intelligent than you folk.
Pedantry != intelligence. Most of us are probably smarter than you give us credit for.
Calm down, Overly-Invested-But-Well-Intentioned Man. I have a role to play, too. The ball was thrown into my court, so I dunked it.
I want to make some joke about you being a smart person among not-so-smart persons except I feel like it would be better if you said it.
Something like a genius in a pigpen. (but more clever)
Ok go.
Have you ever walked past an elementary-school playground around lunch-time? You get this strange sense of the past, of simplicity… you want to look at the kids playing, to remind you of your past, but you don’t want to stare, so you just glance from time to time… Meanwhile, a kid stares at you. Nothing is actually going through his head, he’s not thinking about his future or how he could become a college-student like yourself, none of it comes to his mind because those concepts don’t exist to him yet.
You’re afraid to communicate with him, because aside from being shooed away by faculty, he’d probably not even understand you. And so, you avert your eyes, and stare at the sidewalk as you trot past. There’s a divide there. Eventually it sinks in that you have something those kids don’t… you have less fun.
Children on a playground indulge themselves like pigs in a stye, while the man on the sidewalk is condemned to a mind that’s genius enough to remember the existence of suffering in the world, no matter what entertainment he tries. Enjoyment itself is superficial… and every time he experiences it, he has Oppenheimer’s regret.
What can he do to forget the fate of these hogs?
He can eat some bacon, in a sad attempt to forget for a minute the bleeding and butchering that brought him that grease…
I don’t think you quite got strangelove’s idea.
Also thats just you.
Yes he did.
I’m sorry, I couldn’t quite hit that nail on the head, knowing that pigs are among the smartest animals on this planet.
Couldn’t forget it long enough to have fun…
I chose pigs because jellyfish have difficulty typing on account of the tentacles.
That was as long as the sentence needed to be.
Well he missed the joke part and instead reached “mildy depressing yet ultimately meaningless short internet writing”.
Its a surprisingly large body of work.
Well I thought it was funny.
tgp is stupid and a rapist
If the earth was the only planet with life. Why would the universe be so big. It’d just be a waste of space. 
Strangely, this is always relevant.
…er?
SPACE. Exactly. It’s a space for us to dump our shit in.
SPAAAAAAAAAACE!
I’m in space.[/SIZE]
