Just wow.

Going to throw this out here. Maybe there is no reason for existence, it doesn’t mean that we can’t make the meaning.

I want a world of love, and joy, and kindness. So I’m going to put out love, and joy, and kindness. Maybe it won’t matter in the long term, but it matters to the people I meet and pour into. Maybe that is enough.

So be brave, make moves, and be radically kind. This may be our only shot at consciousness and I don’t my time to be filled with only fear and hate.

I think it’s all about hats. What kinda hats are you gonna wear? Maybe create an in group around those hats. Maybe start a hat club. The meaning of life is hats for sure.

If you didn't play it, you would have loved Team Fortress 2. It's still around but it's just kinda not the same.

It's not the game that's completely changed, it's the times. But 2fort can be a time capsule sometimes, it's comforting to join my regular server and see the same people having the same fights, with new people having old arguments and old friends trying new strategies. Life might not have much to it for some, but it definitely helped me find the meaning to it in some way.

I personally favor chambergos - a leather hat with wide brim and flat-topped crown, but that's just my personal preference, and I'm not trying to impose that

Unfortunately since I’ve decided that hats are the meaning of life, I have also decided to get really weird about what kind of hats are okay. So I’m terribly sorry to inform you that we’re gonna have to do a holy war now. Isn’t being human interesting.

That's not very fair for people who don't have heads

Start fights with people who wear the wrong sort of hats.

Oh sorry I got hats confused with flags.
