My condolences.

I've only read The Stranger by Camus and not much Existentialism proper, so take this with a grain of salt. Imho Camus wanted to make his own thing with Existentialism, so I would say it's an attempt to overcome nihilism.

Just something I saw and spoke to me.

Various and heterogeneous, from real political ones as de facto supporting US interests, eschatological ones concerning Israel's place in the second coming of Jesus such as with right wing evangelicals, tradition of Zionism proper from The Jewish State of Theodor Herzl forward.

Also, states use whatever bullshit necessary to bolster their actions, Israel is not wholly special in that regard.

I thought for a little while that gamergate was about ants. Like it had become a meme or something, I wasn't aware of the controversy. That was an innocent day or two before checking out what it was actually about.

Hearing lofi hiphop in a coffee advert felt like all the good will I had felt toward the studious girl in a gif had evaporated.

Yeah, but, like, I don't know what KonMari is except that it's about throwing things away and there was some racism brouahaha on social media back in the day and everyone had to take a strong stance on keeping the household neat and tidy.

The footage, however, is so realistic it's indistinguishable from the real deal if it were attempted. Stanley Kubrick spent a year sculpting a 1:1 scale model out of cheese and his notoriously perfectionistic tendencies led the NASA to think it would have been easier to go to the real moon instead.

Why I wrote this: social media is a big part of contemporary lives yet I don't really see much in the way how to use it well as an individual, save for fear mongering and counter mongering. I remember /u/devtesla posting an article once on Rihanna's social media use which seemed pretty cool and aspirational and which was pretty much about embracing less.
