>Why yes, I am a stoic. No one will ever be able to coerce me, no one will hinder me, I'll find fault with no one, I'll accuse no one, I'll do nothing whatever against my will, I'll have no enemy, and no one will ever harm me because no harm can affect me. I for my part bid farewell to all the rest; it is enough for me to live my life free from hindrance and distress, and to be able to hold my head high in the face of events, like a free person, and to look up to heaven like a friend of God, showing no fear of anything that could come about. How did you know?

Oh. Very original. I've heard that one before. But don't worry, need thou not be afraid, for we can turn a humdrum, forgettable meme like Based Department into something magical like this - Banous Departonius. And it's that easy. We can add 'onius,' 'ainous,' or anous,' to just about anything and it becomes magical.

That's cool and all but what are you gonna do when nature makes you its bitch?
Daily reminder that Zeno, the creator of stoicism literally is said to have killed himself because he broke his toe. I'm not making this up.

Stoicism isn't bad. But there are so much better ways to live honestly

Stoicism is top-shelf but also please have sex, I learned that lesson the slow and painful way.

To add to this, Seneca advocates suicide in the face of unbearable shame. In the end, external events dictate more of the Stoic's reactivity, to questionale ends, than they would if someone was actively attempting to shape the external world to his will.
