>During hot summer days walking in to a cool supermarket evokes the feeling of being on holiday in a foreign country.

This. I can almost smell it. It’s not a smell really but a certain neutral cold air that is so different from the ocean breeze or the bustling city. I can hear the soft ‚slap-slap’ sound your flip-flops make while you walk on the yellowish floor tiles browsing through the aisles. The refrigerators are humming. Opening the doors requires more strength than expected. You feel the cold washing over you and get goosebumps while trying to decide on what to buy. Sugar is bad for your teeth, right?

Looking forward to his new tv show

>i want to be able to understand articles like this one:
I just read the abstract and I think I understand what the author sets out to do but it is full of what seem to be paradoxes. (Probably because) I haven’t read Land or Brassier but how does this guy want to de-anthropomorthize philosophy when he and his thinking is human himself? Does he just mean his focus/topics or what? Also how is land de-anthropomorthizing philosophy and is being humanist at the same time? Hmmmmm

I'd like to have a discussion about meaning. I had read the Death of Ivan Ilyich awhile back and it set me on a path of emotional and existential destruction. I realized I have no meaning in my life and that I don't even think I know what it is, what does it look like to have meaning and be fulfilled? I began searching throughout philosophy and literature for some semblance of an answer and while I'd maybe get set on a path I think would lead me to an answer I was never satisfied. I was expecting to find some objective meaning to life and then I would be happy.
In my research I guess you could call it, I think I've found that meaning is different for everyone, perhaps there can be no universal truth? Perhaps I've found meaning myself, not sure, and even if so achieving it seems unlikely.
However, I'd like to hear what you all specifically believe to be meaningful to you. Do you feel fulfilled? Does your life have meaning? Did you find it through books? Or are you lost as I am?

Can't. She's practically a higher species compared to me.

I do this too. Sometimes I pretend I'm an author who is getting interviewed so that I can have a way to talk about all the things I think about

I really wish I had friends
