Man Wishes He Was Dumb Enough to Be Happy All the Time

This is truth, not satire.

And yet the jester is usually the wisest in the court.
- And also incredibly depressed
- Wisecracking isn't the same as being happy

She was smart enough to not let the things she doesn't understand drag her down. In reality, there's not one single intelligence.
- I used to hang out with a different kind of dumb person. He would watch a movie he didn't understand but thought he did. Once i "flirted" for him with his ex girlfriend over text, because he wanted her back, but most of the time had no idea what she was talking about. She said she saw him today and he had a new haircut. I texted back: yeah they grew over my head (it's a saying in german that means something is getting too much, but it also is a hair pun.) she laughed and i gave his phone back. He read it and didn't understand it. Even if I explained it to him, he just didn't understand what might be funny. So he texted her back: he also shaved his pubes. God bless his soul.
Every friend group needs a golden retriever
Same, I also know a girl like this. Maybe not the sharpest tool in the shed but she's lovely and I wouldn't change her for anything. Intelligence isn't the only positive attribute a person can have. Kindness and generosity are massively important!

Smart enough to realize everything is shit is a real debilitating condition and honestly, one doesn't haven't to be very smart to realize that.

Felt this since I was a child.

I don't remember being interviewed.

That's because you're a dumbass. Happy now?
- You know what? Yes, yes I am!

Man Wishes He Was Dumb Enough to Be Happy All the Time

The prescription is 'tussin + alcohol, like in that one episode of House M.D.

This is sadly very true.... and also doxylamine, trazodone, melatonin, etc...

I often also feel this way, although I also look at a lot of voting-aged people in the US and realize that being that dumb usually just means you are angry all the time.

I don't recall giving consent to writing a story about my life.....

It's me. I'm the man.

We are all you on this not so blessed day.
Have you tried idolizing osaka from azumanga daioh?
Have you tried watching Rick and Morty?

This hit me at my core.

and that's how folks transition into puppygirls.

Oh good, I was hoping to find a transition comment here as I felt the same way for a long time 😅
- And I want to make it clear I'm not even complaining OR criticizing! XD
  It's wholesome in a peculiar way: people who want to embrace simple joy, and to love others with the same unbridled enthusiasm as dogs do? That's beautiful and sweet deep down at the heart of it.
  Even though I KNOW that for many it's a "sex thing"... Honestly so what. Anyone who doesn't like it can choose to do literally anything else with their time.
  I've stopped caring about pointless judgement, moralizing pearl clutching hand wringing self-righteous hysterical theatrics... What a waste of time and energy when instead happiness is actually an option.
  Maybe it's jealousy. How dare someone be happy, right? Whatever! Let them be goodgirls. There are few things more harmless than that.
  I don't think I could ever play the role of an "owner" (apparently that's a thing) but I'm happy when I see them, in the same way I'm happy when I see dogs. Because I see dogs.

I feel this one, but Vin Diesel is actually a decent actor? Find Me Guilty is a banger, Boiler Room is solid, he was good in Saving Private Ryan and he was The Iron Giant ffs

Like Adam Sandler, Vin Diesel can act but chooses a lot of projects that do the opposite of showcasing that skill.
I would say that he’s a better actor than The Rock, but he’s not winning any acting awards anytime soon.

Some days it feels like it would be easier to take a ball peen hammer to my prefrontal cortex than deal with the rest of my species.

Too smart to be happy too dumb to be successful.

Dunno about that, plenty of dumb successful people out there, this world ain't a fair one.

He just like me fr

It's me. I'm the man who wishes he was dumb enough to be happy all the time.

Is the intelligent thing not to be to recognise when things are out of your control and put them out of your mind

Depends on the reaching of the action, even if the event was out of their control but going to impact them, say an invasion or war breaking out at their location it'd be warranted. However in a general sense I agree, it causes undue stress if there's nothing directly they can change.
People thinking like that is how we get some people fighting for rights, the current fight may not directly impact them but they can see how it'll impact things in the near future when more rights are changed. I mostly agree with not adding undue stress but sometimes it can be difficult to know when it's undue or warranted because it can happen quickly once the ball starts rolling.
- Putting things out of your mind doesn't mean you can't take action though
  If the only reasonable thing I can do to make a change to a situation is to cast a vote there's no point worrying about it until I actually have the opportunity to do that

I'm too dumb to be happy!

fr

I feel seen!

*any of the time ftfy

Idk, republicans don't really seem to be a happy bunch.

"Better to be an animal than a man, an insect than an animal, a plant than an insect, and so on.

Salvation? Whatever diminishes the kingdom of consciousness and compromises its supremacy."

Yup.

Hey welcome to the fediverse!
- Thanks! I almost know what that means!

Dumb people are not happy most of the time. They're perpetually angry and afraid because rich people manipulate them to be that way
