So just humans and ghosts with wifi then.
Can’t ask the dead … the unborn this
Yes.
I’m hesitant to share my opinion because I think it’s unpopular and I don’t want to upset anybody, but in the interest of making others like myself not feel so alone… I think if we’re being deeply honest with ourselves, it probably isn’t? I have a good enough life, but if I never existed I couldn’t be sad to not experience it. I want to enjoy things to the best of my ability (and have made some pretty good strides towards this lately), and don’t want to go through the potentially painful and scary process of dying, and some people depend on me, so I’m here for the time being and I think that’s good enough for now :). But truthfully if I had the choice I think I’d rather not go through this, even though I’m perfectly happy right now. I just find it very hard to go through life and I’d be grateful to not have to work and worry so much. I kind of wish it was less taboo to talk about this because it’s hard to have these thoughts alone, and I think it’d be nice if we could come up with better answers.
I agree. Not existing beats life. BUT since I’m already here, I’ll stay because I love my mom (still would rather not exist)

I feel the same most of the time. Thank you for sharing
You might find this video helpful to understand that you’re not alone in this.
Also I feel the same way. I’d rather not experience the pain and suffering, but I’m here anyway and therefore I’ll occupy my time doing things I think have meaning.
For me that’s using my ability to engineer things that people find helpful and make life better.
Here is an alternative Piped link(s):

I’m open-source; check me out at GitHub.
By itself it doesn’t mean anything, I mean for the universe a rock and you are the same shit. Imo who makes life valuable, is not even yourself, it’s the loved ones. And by loved I mean those that you can trust and add positive values to your life and of course love you back.
Meaning is principically found in relativity to something else. In a database, items only have a meaning because they’ve got a connection and relation. Your shoes have meaning because their purpose is to be worn, so your feet are protected. Relational beings’ purpose, our purpose, is to live in relationship - with which I’m trying to say, our meaning can only be found in relationship.
Wether those relationship are pleasant, gratifying and uplifting or discouraging, debilitating and grueling depends on the habits, choices and abilities of how we interact with each other
So, by just existing there’s inherent meaning (and value, purpose) included in us already
It’s Ok.
Sure as shit beats not existing. You can’t play video games when you’re dead
You don’t know that. For all you know, this is just one arcade game out of potentially many that you’re currently plugged into
A+. Would live again.
What level are you at, if I may ask?
There have been times when it was worth it. I keep going because I think I might have more of those.
Damn. Sorry to hear that.
It’s pretty cool.
I didn’t ask for this shit, I wasn’t even offered a warranty. Not worth it imo
Time is the the ultimate enemy its just when is it gonna get us.
Beats the alternative
What’s … what’s the alternative?

Neo
Didn’t ask for it…but at the same time, actually existing beats not existing IMO. And since I (and by extension, you and anyone else) exist in an uncaring universe, I am free to live life as I please–within reason–so all things considered it’s…actually not bad at all. Yeah there’s sucky parts to it, but most things that are worth it have bumps in the road.
Find something wholesome that you enjoy and do the fuck out of it. Or just do little bits of it when you can. Can’t think of anything: try cycling?
Apparently
