Yes, it's a complete weasel word. We assign roles to sexes, not to "genders". People only ever said "gender" because sex became a rude word.

People have essentially worked themselves into a place where "man" and "woman" mean nothing. We can't say a woman is a person with an XX chromosome or a vagina because that's transphobic and we also can't say that a woman is someone who fuckin does the vacuuming or looks after children or who cooks either. It's just an empty label you apply to yourself. And this word "gender" is the entire reason for this.

Your argument presumes that I believe a person must only live for the 'now' and that if one isn't constantly enjoying oneself then he should die. That is not the case. One can find comfort in the statistical guarantee that enjoyment exists in the future (unless literally all options have been exhausted) and that investing in one's current and future happiness, physical and emotional is of greater value (assigned by your flesh and brain) than simply ending it.

I could say that immediately assigning boredom to enjoyment is fairly naive. As long as you live, there's so many new and different things to do and experience (not just that which is considered enjoyment) that if one becomes bored with one thing, then there's another to discover, whether it be in the form of work and accomplishment (which could be considered pleasure for some).

If you're bored, then your body desires stimulation and your mind will work to find that which stimulates. From there it's just a matter of figuring it out.

>What do you mean by value
As in, your skin container's chemical vat upstairs orders that you do certain things to fulfill its needs. It places value on things based on its own happiness associated with it; you have no control over that.

>do you gain any value from anything if you're alive
Maybe your mind doesn't, but your body does because it is forced to do so. Consider everyone along for the ride in their bodymobiles.

>do you have any evidence from this
Only that the human race has existed only to fulfill its unquenchable needs

>can you prove this without using anecdotes
No. Then again, I'm just anon and don't know much about the world. I'm sharing what little I've presumed.

I prefer his plays more.

"Get in the Call Faggot: The Story of a Proxy Socialite Mishap"

What would your ideal suicide note be?

Any tips for writing one?

Purely hypothetical of course.

I have a plan for you OP.

>Create threads on /lit/, /p/ (photography), /ic/ (art), and /gd/ (graphic design) advertizing that you are going to create a sample 'anthology' of all things within the creative 4chan sphere
>ask anons to lend their finished works, short stories, poetry, essays, even the occasional single post or screenshot
>collect good work and decide what to keep (considering the other anons and their judgement over what's decent)
>collab with some friendly anons over in /gd/ after you have a decent collection of what could be passed as an art/literary journal
>show your work to publishers/businessmen so you prove that you're actually good at this
>work within the journal industry so you know the ins and outs
>eventually break away and make your own independent journal

We could call it "Legacy of Shitposting in a Tundra, Vol 1."
