Friendly reminder: nothing matters

Submitted by evenyoubrutus on May 13th, 2019 at 6:00 PM

As much as the Beilein thing sucks, don't forget: nothing matters. In 100 years, you will be dead. And so will your children. Your body will turn to dust, and everything you cared about in life will be irrelevant. If you're a person of faith, you can expect an eternity of blissful happiness at the foot of your deity. If you're not, you can expect pleasantly boring and painless oblivion, for all eternity. 

Have a nice week, everyone.

Here, here. 

I had to reel myself in earlier this morning when I started to get too worked up (I could feel my blood pressure rising).  Not mind you that our coach left... but rather what might have precipitated his leaving.

That was just the beginning of an ALL around bad day!  But when I listed everything... they were all 1st world problems... so I just told myself to shut the f*** up you whinny little bit**.

You don't know the longevity of my potential future offspring. Who knows, I might sneak one in there right before I die just to try to get a late kid that'll bump right up against that 2119 mark. That'll show you

Well nothing cannot matter as nothing is the absence of something.

But in the spirit of your post, yes the people that wailed when Yost stepped up to AD from coach in 1926 are probably all dead.

I mean, we live in a futuristic distopia. In my soon to be 42 years on this Earth, I've discovered that the multiverse of potential futures has settled on this one for our timeline.

No flying cars. OSU won 17/18 or w/e. No cares that NCAA bag men are everywhere. Our current president. Maintaining late stage capitalism as the primary economic system being more important than human lives and the planetary environment. Twitter and social media in general.

I cannot argue with this logic.   My turbulent soul has been soothed by being reinforced that I am mere dust in the wind.

NOW WHO THE HELL IS GOING TO COACH US NEXT YEAR AND HOW DOES IT AFFECT RECRUITING?

Climate change is gonna kill us all in the next few decades anyway. It's all a joke, enjoy sex and drugs irresponsibly.

M & M, i am going to volunteer to be your copy editor one of these days.  every time you write about kahlua and tomato juice it looks like you are advocating shaking them together, then pouring them into a glass to be consumed.  someday someone is going to do that and drink a brown colored mess and curse you for tilting them in that direction.  in this age of social media, the public scorn could be unbearable....

ah yes, a corollary theory to the apostle paul's rendition of first century greek philosophy:  eat, drink, and be merry, for tomorrow we die.

I mean it's possible we solve the puzzle to eternal life, and not in a religious sense.  Certainly we'll extend life greatly in the very near future.  Perhaps even in time for Beilein. 

It's possible this sets the program back centuries, while he's still just over there, coaching the fucking cavs

This seems like the worst interpretation of Pascal's Wager ever.
