I love christmas, and I love christmas presents, I got my best friend a lovely calendar showing photos that were precious to me throughout the year of all the good times we have shared, in return, and this is so strange, I got two bookends, which have obviously been handmade, but look like my face, but in a grotesque punch and judy way, I'm not sure whether they are supposed to look so scary, but they are hideous, I actually had nightmares about them last night, and on top of that, a smaller 3D figurine which is basically me looking like a drag queen in hideous blonde hair and a massive red bow, they obviously took a long time and I get that, but I wonder what they are trying to tell me, they have sent me a message asking what I think of them and I really don't know what to say, to be honest, Im quite upset they see me that way. Im just a normal person who loves christmas, I was hoping for tickets to see a christmas carol or something like that.

A massive dusting of Absurdism? I suppose your right in a way, Abraxian philosophy does indeed marry quite closely with Absurdism, I do happen to be a great fan of Camus, but I don't see where the drugs come into it. I think the 'New Puppy' thread might be more up your street!!, We've moved onto hardcore philosophy now, but there are plenty of other threads for the mundane and pointless! Knock yourself out!

Hardcore philosophy?😑

Have you actually checked in with the donor to ask if this is what they intended op? That would seem a very good place to start ...

Initially the thread was baffling, then vaguely amusing.
Now it’s just ridiculous. You clearly think you’re really funny and intellectual but you just sound like you are on glue.

JaquelineHide · 31/12/2025 18:28

Is this the 'deep thinking' daughter from that other thread?

IMissTheLittleBluePackets · 31/12/2025 19:10

The author of this thread is definitely a man who thinks he's above all of us silly women.

Hardcore philosophy?!

For what it's worth I would call Camus an anti-philosopher. He used art to deal with philosophical problems, but that was it. Indeed he himself called himself an artist and rejected the term philospopher.

OP, think you’re starting to lose your audience 😬

BriefEncountersOfTheThirdKind · 31/12/2025 19:45

Well this all took a turn 🤣

confusedgoldilocks · 31/12/2025 19:57

Oh it was never about an audience. It was a journey, and journeys don't really need an audience or even need to be witnessed, I achieved whatever I wanted to achieve in the first two pages, everything after that is just noise, however the raw signal at the start was important to me, HAPPY NEW YEAR!! Abraxas loves you all, and hopes you all achieve your heart desires next year.

oh- Within Abraxian philosophy, anti philosophy is as important as philosophy, just as anti ego is to ego, in fact the opposite of anything is as important, which is why the little blonde statue works so well, it encapsulates all terrains, all possibilities, all outcomes, everything-yet also, nothing!

and with that, he was gone!

I hope your 2026 resolution is to get a real life hobby. All the best.

PS. It's not a great character trait to seek people's genuine sympathy and toy with their emotions. There are plenty of joke posts on here that people get on board with. But manipulating people for your own LOLs is really very gross.

The eyes on that figurine are all wrong.

Put the things in a bag, smash them with a hammer while inside the bag, put them in an outside bin, take a bath with salt, say a prayer.

And pay them the money.

I lol’d at this, thank you.

Pack it in OP, it's embarrassing.

OP have you actually gone off your rocker?

"the raw signal at the start was important to me"

What does that actually mean?

MaggieBsBoat · 31/12/2025 20:46

@confusedgoldilocks to be honest I really like your latest posts and the music mentions are really up my street. You soundlike a person I’d really like to get to know! I love some philosophy chat and was doing a deep dive myself on stoicism only the other day!
