He doesn't get stronger in the myth and Camus never mentions he gets stronger in the essay. The point of the myth as a metaphor for life is that it fucking sucks ass, Sisyphus is in his own version of hell. His ass got punish for eternity for cheating death. And yet my brothers and sisters, he keeps pushing the damn rock. He doesn't get stronger, he doesn't get better at pushing, but he keeps going, and one must imagine him happy doing it.

are we sure she was being serious? I can't tell anymore. But framing it as "we're missing the point" is nonsense. Framing it as "here is my personal re-interpretation of a classic fable that inverts its original point" is ok

hearing that cough made me realize I haven't had a productive cough since I quit vaping 2 years ago and I've never had such strong cravings as in that moment
I don't think a single person on tiktok has read the book by Albert Camus, the reason we're supposed to "imagine Sisyphus happy" is because it's Camus' take on "absurdism", and that because of the nature of life as we know means that we aspire for something that is unobtainable which is absurd whereas in a closed system like Sisyphus' daily life the goal was never meant to be obtainable yet he still persists, he has found an absolute truth which we as humans in the real world will never be able to find. The book goes into way more than Sisyphus and cites multiple examples of situations that are "truth adjacent" or "absurd adjacent", but he settles on Sisyphus as a conclusion to his essay.

got to love how every once in a while a cartoon will come out so good it stops being enjoyed by it's target audience and both parties go to war. Like bro you all need to just let people like what they like.
the irony that NL views League as a punishment, when after a certain point you can just be yourself within the construct of the game and it's meditative and a gives chances of self exploration
Why does he not like caffeine free diet coke? Seems like a weird thing to go in on. I drink it because I take meds that make me sensitive to stimulants.
At this point I'm fully convinced that the people who say english is a hard language only speak english. There's no accents/weird fucky shit on the letters, words don't have a gender, the pronunciation is easy as shit, the grammar is easy as shit, most rules make sense(you can figure them out by saying it out loud and if it sounds right it's probably right) and there's millions of hours of easily accessible reading and listening material so you can immerse yourself easily.
Kind of a wild take. English is full of weird inconsistancies that make it hard to learn without memorizing hundreds of exceptions. Ask yourself why dead rhymes with led but not lead. I mean, it rhymes with one lead, but not the other lead. That one rhymes with mead. English is full of weird stuff like that. Most other languages are more consistent in that regard.
I don't think English is exceptionally difficult or anything but "you can figure it out by saying it out loud" is intuition/implicit knowledge based on years of hearing it in your daily life. Isn't that applicable to any language? Many foreign speakers would also disagree with you that it's easy to pronounce, it's simply if your native tongue is used to making the sounds used in English or not. Definitely agree that English has by far the most material to draw from though. In my experience the very adept foreign english speakers often watched tons of english TV/movies.
Also ask any speaker of a language that uses gendered nouns or "weird fucky shit" on the letters if they find it hard, I doubt you will find many that will agree. It's simply the language they grew up knowing. I don't want to assume but it sounds like you're someone whose main language is english, therefore you find it easy.
@@who_what I am a native french speaker(we use gendered nouns and weird fucky accents) and yes it is very fucking hard, it's literally what 90% of english speakers that come here struggle with. I learned english through watching youtube and playing video games. I became fluent in english at 16 and learned enough spanish to be able to follow a conversation between people at 17, trust me I have experience, there is no language that has the simplicity of english, every language has 100000 exceptions but english has way fewer and is way easier in every way. In english you never have to think "Does this word have an é or an è? Or a silent s. And let's not even start on conjugation half of our most used verbs in french finish with a silent s the other half do not. In english it's so fucking easy, I have you have we have they have. In french J'ai, tu as, il a, nous avons, vous avez, ils ont. There's 3 different ways a verb can be conjugated and half of the verbs are exceptions and don't follow those 3 ways by sneaking a fucking silent s in there. In spanish: Tengo, tienes tiene, tenemos, tenéis, tienen. Your verbs are barely conjugated brother.

I mean also none of it was correct but yknow
It makes sense if you know nothing about the original book.
It's convincing but I wouldn't say it was correct. Sisyphus's situation was invoked as a punishment within the story.
i think it was wrong but you're right in that probably nothing said to me in that tone of voice would ever reach my heart
are we sure she was being serious? I can't tell anymore. But framing it as "we're missing the point" is nonsense. Framing it as "here is my personal re-interpretation of a classic fable that inverts its original point" is ok
The struggle towards the heights is enough to fill a mans heart, one must imagine Northernlion happy
My favorite part of The Myth of Sisyphus (1942) was when Albert Camus said “it’s strugglin’ time!” and then struggled all over the place
the irony of his joke about ppl being high during classics class as he tells the story completely wrong
it's not irony is it, it is simply speaking from experience
