Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•What's the most evil hellish thing you've experienced firsthand in life?32·2 years agoI’m 62 so this happened a long time ago. My mom didn’t like novacaine so she found a dentist who didn’t use it (I found that out later as an adult). For whatever reason I had 15 cavities one year. I couldn’t stand it but somehow I got to the last day of many and I just couldn’t do it anymore. I couldn’t willingly open my mouth for that pain, I just couldn’t.
The dentist took that hooky little metal instrument dentist’s have, held it near my cheek, and said, “If you don’t open your mouth, I’m going to go in RIGHT. THROUGH. HERE.” Those last three words were punctuated by him poking my cheek with that little hooky instrument; once for each word.
I opened my mouth in the worst fear and feeling of abandonment I’ve ever felt. I now need nitrous and my wife holding my hand to get through a cleaning. Dr. Fryer. A sadist.

They moved to different locations a little shelters even mechanically improve the area.

They said it may have involved a warming, followed by an ice age, followed by another warming, all in rapid succession. The cartilaginous fish came through, the armored fish were all wiped out.
I can do anything when I’m breathing. Walking kind of puts everything else on hold.
Breathing would give me enough money. I’d choose it to be able to be free from any obligations.

Melatonin@lemmy.dbzer0.comto Asklemmy@lemmy.ml•My cat just died. What is the point of all this?8·2 years agoI truly believe that events have no meaning until we impose meaning on them. It is our work, as humans, to do so. It is the essence of creativity, of being, and of life itself. Meaning doesn’t comes prepackaged, no one can provide meaning for you or me. There isn’t “true” meaning out there for us to discover. There are meaningful answers we can provide, after wrestling with the event itself.
Your cat existed for a purpose. Perhaps it was to show you love and companionship for a time during this difficult life. Only you can say. But honor the creature you loved by finding the meaning in its life. It lived for a reason.

You guys do know they’re planning to send us all out to colonize moons and planets while they enjoy Earth without us?
