what do you think happens after death?

what do you think happens after death?

I've always been incredibly nihilistic -- and I'm not just saying that to be edgy. Even as a kid I didn't really have any strong motivations or desires outside of sex and food. I kind of believe in nothing on a grander scale; I'd say I believe that everything just fades to black.
This is exactly why I bailed out of multiple suicide attempts as a teenager -- including the garage gassing, pills, etc. I don't think there's anything that can be as bad as simply not existing - which is what I think happens?
In my early twenties I had a dream where I contacted Satan and had bad sleep paralysis (one of only two instances I've ever had in my life) - but I don't personally think that it has/had much significance and I don't think it was actually spiritual or metaphysical as other people may think.
I think when you die - as long as it isn't due to brain injury - the DMT in your body releases and what you experience depends upon if you died happy/fulfilled or riddled with guilt and regret. That's my personal interpretation of "heaven" and "hell."
Based on these beliefs of mine - I could never really "prove" one way or another without dying. Even a near death experience or dream could be explained with brain chemistry following my beliefs. So based on that I don't have a very high degree of confidence.

Did he break your heart?

Did he break your heart?

If you're referring to Satan in my previous post - Satan just kind of promised me the capacity to comprehend whatever I want if I gave him my soul. The kind of Monkey's Paw of the deal was that I don't really have the motivation or desire to actually have the drive to do so. I do think following the dream I became more intelligent and wise - but I may be slightly more nihilistic than previously? But then again - since I don't believe in the supernatural - it could probably be chalked up to the fact that I was 20 and still had a lot of maturing to do at the time.
If you're just making some weirdly vague statement not related to my previous post -- then my first serious girlfriend's step dad kind of broke my heart in a sense? I had moved to Arizona to be with her when I was 22, but I had dropped out of college and wasn't pursuing further education -- and he was a bootstrappy, teapartier who held that against me big time. After a bad confrontation with him I had to move back to Ohio after about 2 months, and I kind of missed out on a ton of cool life experiences I could've had. Although our eventual breakup had to do with her not being into me romantically - so maybe it would've gone sour had I stayed regardless? I can't really predict that.
One of my previous bosses kind of broke my heart and made me ridiculously depressed for over a year until I could transfer to a different store.
My heart is kind of broken with how politics are nowadays, and how people don't value education, rehabilitation, or discourse like they used to -- and how self proclaimed "leftists" use the term "liberal" as an insult. I used to have at least some interest in non-profit work and slightly bettering the world around me - even if it was for selfish means - but now I've kind of grown to be bitter towards everyone on all sides of me. I may be even more paranoid than I was over a decade ago. My heart is definitely "broken" from that.

I don't know a single mod other than Shotgunnova, who I know I've fanboyed over before in the past because he/she wrote a ton of FAQs I used to use over a decade ago.
You know I've been here, left, came back, etc. since '08 or '09 -- and I've been modded and lost karma too many times to count. I don't even read moderations - I just sees 'em, opens 'em so the notification goes away, and goes ons with my life. So I guess the mods don't phase me because I'll do what I want anyways.

Bouncing. When I grew up and matured I became an ass man. There's nothing better than grabbing and spreading an ass -- and even better if it's bouncing.

Nintendo. I haven't played a Sony or Microsoft system since XBox360 and PS2. I feel like those two companies are too focused on graphics and shit now. I have a Switch and I love it. It's honestly my third favorite system I've ever owned (after my SNES and my PS1) not counting PC. There are tons of games that don't rely on amazing graphics and are just plain fun - plus they've been killing it with tons of my favorite Steam indies showing up in the Switch shop.
I can't wait until Switch finally gets PSO2, and I'd be totally cool with new 2D Sonics on Switch - if that could happen.

Never played Dark Souls. I might've played the first game in the series for like a minute on a friend's system? Is Dark Souls the first one? Either way I sucked at it and died pretty quickly. Never played the others.

Who is your favorite Pokemon?

If I had to give one answer I'd say Machamp. Ever since I was in fourth or fifth grade and Gen 1 came out. Before I'd even played the game and just knew from watching friends play and watching the anime/seeing pictures online.
But it's boring to just say one. So I'd say my other favorites include Flareon, Heracross, Archeops, Ferrathorn, and Excadrill.

Why are you known as Peak CEman?

Because people online are assholes and they find whatever presses a person's buttons, and enjoy watching people have meltdowns and get themselves banned. Because there's a shallow sense of power behind the anonymity of the internet. The same reason people think shit like digital vigilantism is okay. They see other humans and their emotions, feelings, and livelihoods as digital code.

Have you ever pressed B to stop a Pokemon from evolving? Why or why not?

Surprisingly no. I never played competitively. When I started playing at Gen 5, I went back and replayed all the previous generations. I was too focused on getting the PvE experience and collecting all my favorites, breeding for good IVs, finding out cool coverage through egg moves, etc. and didn't think about leveling up movesets too much.
I didn't play Gen 6 or 7, and when I got Sword and Shield I played until I beat the game - then as soon as I started post-game and was about to get into all of that stuff my girlfriend's Switch account got banned and I lost my game.

How do you feel about the game Xenogears?

I never bothered playing it. I didn't have any reason not to play it, I guess? Considering ps1 jrpgs were my jam as a kid -- I just never got around to that one. From what I hear it has a great story, and from what I've seen I can assume the gameplay is somewhat basic like LoD or something? Maybe I'm wrong? Probably I'm wrong.

How to find and marry the woman of your dreams?

I don't have dreams anymore. I gave up on dating after my last girlfriend. I just so happened to be on adult dating sites and sleeping with women when I met my current girlfriend. I was driving up here to have sex with her, put my kids in her rear-end, etc. She kind of pressured me into dating, and it was the right place and time - so it just happened? She's a good friend and we work well together?
A long time ago, though, I used to just go on conventional dating sites and kind of read profiles and message women with questions regarding shared interests/hobbies. It was pretty successful for me - and I did get lots of numbers/dates. But my girlfriend says it's probably just because they were all "hipster" girls and I'm a "typey-type" because I'm chubby/bearded/wear flannel. So I can play on easy mode with certain demographics, I guess?
That sounds bad - like my girlfriend doesn't think I'm a catch, lol. I mean I fucked her until she loved me, I guess? Like the Mike Tyson quote?

I don't know what that is. I disappeared off here for a bit because of shit like the post right beneath this one. It's really fucking pathetic that people literally can't have a shred of compassion and willingly do/say something they know hurts me more than anything just to get a rise and entertainment.

I would've been years ago - but at this point I've literally given up hope on people altogether. I hate what the political climate is like nowadays and I've kind of lost all desire to try and be a beacon of empathy.
I'm not planning on having any kids - and as selfish as it sounds, I'm sure I'll be dead before the next ice age or whatever occurs.
That's not to say I wouldn't adopt greener practices if they were implemented/within my control. I also won't deny the impact we have on this planet.

I don't know enough about their current business practices. The last time I went in there it was just to find a Pokemon game for DS and I noticed they've phased out of literally every system I've owned short of DS and Switch. I noticed they mostly just sell novelty items and shit now, and it's kind of weird. I think it's lame that Pokemon games still go for like over $30 used, and I think it's lame that it looks like they're getting the majority of their money off of Funko Pops. I also know they're really bad with trading rates, right?

I think my favorite South Park episodes were the ones in the season with So-Do-So-Pa. I don't recall any particular episode - I just remember thinking that season was hilarious. I really like the trapper keeper episode, too? There are so many good episodes and it's been awhile since I've seen them, so it's kind of hard to pick one without thinking long about it.

When I was younger I wanted a fruit/vegetable themed sleeve - but it never happened. I almost got a monroe, too, back in '05 - but opted to keep my beard instead. I did have my septum done back in '05, but I let it close around '09 or '10.

Years ago CE used to be filled with lots of classist, STEM or bust, red piller type talk. There also used to be a ton of fat-shaming, anti-body mod discussion, etc.
These were all things I strongly stood against and I associated with the vast majority of CE users. I made a complaint one time about something and someone likened me to other CEmen and it pissed me off - because at that time a good portion of the board stood for everything I was against. They continued to call me that after they watched me get myself a week suspension or something because of it. Since then I've been banned/suspended numerous times because someone always tries to bring it up every time I come back.
The board seems a little bit better over the last 2 years in regards to what I said. I don't see as much classism, red piller stuff, or fat shaming -- so I can say it's not quite as offensive as it used to be. But it still hurts me more than anything anyone can call me.

I disagree with this saying. I have plenty of friends who have vastly different ideals, beliefs, and life experience than mine.
