How difficult would it be for a group of people to bust Ted out?

Here's the reason why.

>>13156702
why should i care that people are killing themselves or numbing their brains

>>13157370
because you're next.

>>13157381

>>13157390
I'm already over both of those, don't let that hubris bite you in the ass, sweetie

>>13157408
ah yes, clearly it is me with the hubris here

>>13157417
you clearly think you're above all psychological pitfalls, it's only natural that you will fall into one, or perhaps you're already knee deep and that's why you're responding in this manner

>>13157358

how to free Ted
>get cube truck
>fill will fertilizer
>blow up federal building

>kill the old man for being a pussy
>hes free

>so lets return to a time where most people died within the first 8 months of living!

What do the colors represent?
Why is red so sad early on, but the happiest later in life?

>>13158427

how many surveys are there that just point out things TOO OBVIOUS AND ELEMENTARY TO BE WORTH SAYING AT ALL

>>13158488
The one you think is prettiest, and is above 9mm. I've been looking at the Ruger Gp100 myself.
Just look at this beaut.

>>13158427
If they survived beyond 8 months they would live as long at us with way less health problems and pain

>The simplest Surrealist act consists of dashing down the street, pistol in hand, and firing blindly, as fast as you can pull the trigger, into the crowd. Anyone who, at least once in his life, has not dreamed of thus putting an end to the petty system of debasement and cretinization in effect has a well-defined place in that crowd with his belly at barrel-level.
Kinda funny how Breton described the rise of the modern day school shooter back in 1924.

those very things wouldn't seem obvious and/or plausible to some people (call them data slaves if you want) if they weren't presented to them on a colorful graph in the first place.

>>13156702
There is no real cure for depression. Your brain will find outlets for it whether you're poor or rich or a failure or successful or employed or unemployed or in a relationship or single, etc. The prevalence of something called depression "now" is only due to the systems of categorisation that really kicked off in the West two centuries ago, not coincidentally the same time the West was able to industrialise. Any meme about inner being or whatever is metaphysics and an excuse to dominate conversations with others

What to do? Technology is linked with capitalism. Captialism is self-sustaining and tied to the world political system, protected by all states and armies naturally.

Feels bad.

>>13160204
just so your idiocy will never be forgotten

>tfw the worst is yet to come

>>13157358
And they say we don't live in a society.. maybe yuo'Ll understand soon.. hoo haaa heee ha ha ha hoo...

You two think depression is only psychogenic?

red is survey number 1 orange is survey number 2 blue is survey number 3 and I hope I don't have to go on

>>13156702
Here's the reason why

>>13160375
Holy shit I'm talking to an actual retard. What. Do. The. Surveys. Represent. You. Fucking. Idiot.

>>13160398
surveys represent surveys, how is that low IQ treating you? seven different bodies conducted seven different studies - I know you never received a higher education so the concept must be very unfamiliar

>>13160395
And that's a good thing - the human race has stopped being evolutionarily stagnant. The genetic dead ends don't get to reproduce.

>>13160398
Not the guy you were talking with but man you're dumb. What they represent is literally written on top of the image: "Relationship between happiness and age across seven major surveys"

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TED

>>13158504
Almost all of them. Imagine the amount of waste that went into 30 years of studies trying to prove how fat, and not sugar, is what causes heart attacks. Entire regions were destroyed for a coverup.
If you want to know why the West is dying just look at STEMfags and their industrial production of cultural stupidity.

>>13160457
The issue is, was, and always will be materialists and their ilk

>>13160225
Brainlet here, Where was he wrong? Can you tell me what the colors map to? I seriously don't get it, it's not explained in the image

Dont use a gun please.
Sincerely,
/k/

>>13156702
To be honest, I have my goals in life, I have ideas, I want to beat my heroes, but at the same time I'm extremely depressed to the point of just thinking of suicide every day. I have purpose. But this illness is physical and I need prescriptions along with Adderall to cure my ADHD. I don't know why our generation has so many mental problems. Ted was right to some extent.

>>13160502
This is what I hate about /k/. It's always "no, please don't do something to get my guns taken away." Would you really surrender your guns if they became illegal? Or would finally put them to some use other than shooting cans and kill the people who seek to remove your rights?

>>13160516
stfu bugman lmao

>>13160543
I have guns though. I am asking why they are afraid when some bitch ass nigger blows his brain out with a gun. I'd gladly shoot any state lackey that busts in my door looking for my guns

>>13160516
Because I don't want to waste and complicate my life needlessly for a hobby. Until they actually take away guns, I have no intention of murder or revolt. The problem is that they just pass inconveniencing legislature, little shit that whittles away over time. Why would I want to give them more evidence for that shit?

>>13160588
>when your rights are a hobby

>>13160510
>there is evidence that ADHD is at least exasperated by sleep deprivation, it not directly caused by it, as well as linked with depression and anxiety
>prescribe amphetamines

really makes you think

Are RLM secret geniuses?

>>13160597
His rights facilitate a hobby, the right itself is not a hobby you fucking retard

How? How the fuck can it get any worse?

>>13161162

Yes, that's RLM's "Nerd Crew," which is a satire of the commidification of geek culture.

Is it just me or is red just coping?

>puberty is the best time of life
Haha, no.
Statistics are meant for large scale analysis and problem solving, try not to get so caught up in memes.
You deal with life at an individual level, stats are not meant to indicate anything about an individual's experience.

Do you have a source on that?

Source?

A source. I need a source.

Sorry, I mean I need a source that explicitly states your argument. This is just tangential to the discussion.

No, you can't make inferences and observations from the sources you've gathered. Any additional comments from you MUST be a subset of the information from the sources you've gathered.

You can't make normative statements from empirical evidence.

Do you have a degree in that field?

A college degree? In that field?

Then your arguments are invalid.

No, it doesn't matter how close those data points are correlated. Correlation does not equal causation.

Correlation does not equal causation.

CORRELATION. DOES. NOT. EQUAL. CAUSATION.

You still haven't provided me a valid source yet.

Nope, still haven't.

I just looked through all 308 pages of your user history, figures I'm debating a glormpf supporter. A moron.

>>13161207
>Is it just me or is red just coping?
Red is true philosophy master race. What doesn´t kill you, makes you stronger!

>>13161281
>Correlation does not equal causation.
This is correct.

>>13161281
You strike me as the kind of person who lets pundits do the thinking for them

Sorry but you're never going to make it in the /lit/ world. Go back to /v/ and /TV/.

Of course ADHD is real, doctors give prescriptions for it

Yes I love Foucault! Why would institutions lie to us? You're not a conspirationist right?

Just because it's natural doesn't mean it's healthy. Arsenic is found in nature LOL

The jews aren't pulling the strings, nazi, you disgust me! Actually neither does the government. Stuff happens I guess? Did I mention I love Foucault?

Foucault is soooo, so good, like, I can't even. The death penalty is so backwards like ugh, why can't we all just get along?

When was the sexual revolution? 1960s. Evolution does not happen overnight. What we are seeing is the effect of hundreds of years of enforced monogamy.

It doesn't feel good. Why bother with casual sex with unpleasant, narcissistic girls that aren't even that attractive? What's the point?

Read The Master Game by Robert S. De Ropp. I recommend it for anyone in this thread who is interested in the subject that OP is addressing here, or concerned about the state of identity in modern society.
