    How can this be real if our eyes aren't real?

    What if we're just the creation of a much higher being's subconscious, and this entire existence is just a dream??

    Possible, but not likely.

    More likely we are agents in a computer simulation run by aliens.

    Even if the entire universe solely exists within some higher entity, (ie. A super computer, higher being, evil demon, etc.) then the universe still - by definition - exists. A more interesting thought would be if the universe did not exist, and everything we see and perceive around us - including our perception of being and existence - were artifacts of the perception of a single being within our virtual reality.

    When someone has run out of things they can do to blatantly offend people, they turn to Nihilism.

    While technology has made leaps and bounds in the past few decades, I feel that social values have degenerated greatly and culture - in what it used to mean - has been lost almost in its entirety. I don't think the trade-off was an entirely good one.

    I don't like Jennifer Lawrence or think that she's attractive.

    I really, really dislike most pop music. It's all so generic, and personality-less. When I listen to most "Newly released" pop songs, it feels like I've heard it before, hundreds of times.

    I wish Pop music would just end. I wish it would just end now.

    I gotta say, I don't find Charlize Theron attractive in the slightest.

    I think everyone should just quit driving cars and always take either clean transportation (bikes, etc.) or public mass transportation.

    I think "Die Cis Scum" wouldn't get as much anger if it was "Die Commie F**got Heretic"

    Clop > grimdark.

    It still baffles me as to how some of the very same people who love grimdark are also quite often the most vocal about their disdain for clop. Yes, because decapitating ponies left and right/otherwise putting them in situations of extreme, soul-crushing misery is way more in line with the spirit of the show than ponies acting upon their procreational instincts and enjoying themselves.

    To clarify, I don't have anything against those who enjoy grimdark, but if you're the type to glorify violence while demonizing sexuality, kindly do the world a favor and dive into a piranha-infested lake; if sex is so taboo to you, then why not let some hungry fish gnaw your nards off? Not like you're gonna need 'em.

    This seems somewhat difficult, inefficient, and frankly unnecessary. Not very many people have access to piranha-infested lakes, and going by how bad the lakes movie involving them was, it doesn't well fit the theme of grimdark. A much better and more accessible - and more genre savvy - choice would be something like a reciprocating saw.

    Proof that there is always more than one way to skin a cat. I still hope they'd find something constructive to do with their newly detached gonads, though. Send them to Justin Bieber, perhaps.
