>I’m cold,' Snowden said softly, 'I’m cold.'
'You’re going to be all right, kid,' Yossarian reassured him with a grin. 'You’re going to be all right.'
'I’m cold,' Snowden said again in a frail, childlike voice. 'I’m cold.'
'There, there,' Yossarian said, because he did not know what else to say. 'There, there.'
'I’m cold,' Snowden whimpered. 'I’m cold.'
'There, there. There, there.

Is it true that the Buddha said only Brahmins and Kshatriyas can be Buddhists?

How can a Stoic not be a Ascetic? Since virtue is one of the main principles of stoicism. How can he choose to be wealthy when others endure poverty. How can I have assets when other are suffering from lack of necessities? Everyday I see homeless people while going to work. They keep on increasing because of Covid. I try to donate as much as I can, but is $50 enough for a person without a home, job, food, clothing? I see little kids pretending to be adults and the sheer thought of them having to whore themselves out to survive, breaks me. I live in a 8.ft x 10.ft, which can easily fit a few more people. The amount of food I eat if rationed correctly can feed 2 more people. Since I wear only one set of clothes to work a day, my other clothes can be worn by those who lack them. If virtue is indeed one of the core principles of stoicism, what are a stoic's argument against asceticism?

how do I become a funnier guy? I'm just kinda humourless, sometimes I make people laugh in conversation but not very often and I'm never funny in my writing. Attempting humour on the page just feels wrong to me—the only styles I have are cloying, pompous, and autistic. Everything I write either ends up sounding embarrassingly purple or like a second-rate technical manual.

I'm not trying to become a writer, I don't have that in me. But I like getting (you)s on my posts, and that's a kind of writing, plus I often contribute technical articles and guides to various wikis for hobbies and video games. My dream is to someday write a manifesto on principles of video game design.

That is it, life sucks, i'm going to write the most self inserting, self indulgent novel of all fucking time, with talking animals, swords, great quests and monters and my main character WILL get the princess at the end.
