There is no rock bottom. It can always get worse. Even if the outside doesn't get worse, your experience can. I have seen and experienced it.

What most people call 'rock bottom' is just their personal bottom, where they, personally stopped digging themselves deeper and instead turned around.

But, yeah. Until you're dead, it can always get worse. Always.

I would argue that rock bottom is significantly farther down than dead. I would rather be dead than in a great many other scenarios.

True, but even in those situations, it could still get even worse.

However, if you're dead, things can't get worse. One of the great benefits of being dead (not to mention all the tax advantages).

Rock bottom is no objective state but a psychological one where you literally can’t care anymore and feel indifferent towards dying or consequences.

Somewhat ironically, i needed to get to that state to discover that once i had given up, nothing could hurt me anymore and i could do whatever I felt like without worrying about societies weird rulings and restrictions.

Never ended up doing anything that was really outlandish but experiencing that knowledge of absolute freedom and freewill (anarchy) kept me going long enough for it to become an escape vector to climb to a condition where i could care once again.

So, you're proving the adage "you hit bottom when you stop digging."

Look at Charlie Sheen. Guy had a million second chances, and only stopped doing drugs after he'd caught AIDS and was being blackmailed.

Physically, only a finite amount of information fits in a given volume (e.g. your skull) before it collapses into a black hole. Among all possible configurations of information within that volume, some set of configurations is going to be the worst. So it can't always get worse.

Though if you're talking about your experience, then yes things can always get worse by lifting the restriction that it has to be "your experience". Whatever criteria you use to define "your experience", your worst possible experience will bend the boundaries of those criteria to find near-inhuman levels of suffering.

This was Brennan playing a lil frog for a critical role adventure. It was called Wildemount Wildlings and i recommend it.

Just wanted to second the recommendation! Brennan’s character is hilarious, and Sam slays it in his DM debut (I think).

I was going to say the same. Sam really settled in and found his groove, and Brennen had be dying from laughter.

Just by chance I subscribed today, is it a special marathon or just watching a lot of dimension 20 in general?

It's a special thing they have been doing for the past week or so to celebrate their new 24 hour channel.

Never stop blowing up and gladlands are my absolute favorite, if you're signed up definitely give them a check! If not they encourage password sharing

I thought the fast and furious franchise reached rock bottom, but by some miracle they're still making movies that are worse.

The fast and furious movies are much better once you understand that they're actually anime

I like this thought, if only more people applied this to life to makes things more tolerable. Maybe lampooning day to day is the start of the great fall!

Or, you might find that what you believed to be rock bottom was actually just a resting spot for you to get nice and comfy thinking "can't be any worse than this, right?" before plunging even further when the stability of rock bottom is suddenly pulled out from under you like a rug. That's a thing that happens to some people...

Lol, I know some sisters who don't have to repay their student loans because they're private loans and they changed their name in transition and now they can't find them.
