That no amount of "death totally isn't scary, bro" talk actually changes the truth that death and dying is absolutely terrifying. Most people who try to talk tough about how not scared of death they are would completely collapse if they were close to facing it
>>149164050
Telling people not to be afraid of death isn't "trying to act tough" or being cynical, it's about making sure you actually spend your life living it instead of being scared of eventually dying. Anyone who can't understand that are themselves the cynical assholes.

NTA but it's just a useless platitude that no one actually believes.
Sure, I live my life but dying is still incredibly horrifying. I'm just finding ways to cope
>>149164083 >Dying is horrifying
Not at all. Dying a VIOLENT death is horrifying, but you know, sudden heart attack, usual disease. You'll be so numb or it will be so sudden you won't even notice.
If you are young, sure it makes complete sense to be scared of death, but if you are old and you are still horrified of death, it just means you have not really lived your life enough to appreciate its eventual end.

You "die" every night when falling asleep.
Often almost like being reborn a slightly different person who suddenly doesn't give as much of a shit about what yesterday's You autistically cared about.
Bill Nye dying is a distraction from the fact that this episode was genuinely awful. None of the jokes were landing and most of it was Dana Snyder screaming

It's not useless if it actually helps people live fulfilling lives, which it does. It's finding a way to "cope" but that isn't a bad thing. People have a negative association with the word cope these days because of how it tends to be used these days, as a way of making fun of someone but it literally just means a method of dealing with something difficult. Fear of death is something difficult and if you don't deal with it you can end up in a situation where you're too scared to ever do anything substantial in your life out of fear of dying. In which case yes, having a method to cope with that is a good thing and a sign of self discipline.

The Yeti guy being passive aggressive and annoyed was kind of fun, but yeah, it was one of the weaker episodes. They started the season too strong with the Gwinbly episode and it never reached the same comedic heights again.
One of those moments where you can tell the creators were obsessed with some terminally online culture war issues that haven't been relevant in ten years.

Wow that's fucking deep, death is scary holy shit I never thought about that >>149164083
It's like being afraid of sleeping. It's a natural thing that you just learn to deal with. So you know that feeling of going to bed but feeling bad you didn't finish that book or do that chore you told yourself you were gonna do? It's kinda like that, stop being a pussy and ask a girl out or something or you're gonna regret everything. Or don't, I don't know you.

Being okay with death =/= being okay with bleed on the floor slowly
Are you okay with playing basketball or running a marathon? Bet you would crying and pissing and shitting if your knees exploded or you sprang your ankle.
These thread convinced me this show is pretentious and unfunny and for people who think "death is scary actually" is deep
The creator was some newgrounds guy or some shit? 90% of newgrounds was not funny
>>149164224
It's insane that they didn't have anything funny ready for Dana Snyder, but also didn't want him to adlib, which is also a great option if you want to get funny out of the guy.
So he's just kind of there. To scream.

Was the Yeti being passive aggressive or was he rightfully pissed at Charlie trying to downplay how much he just fucked up his day. Then that little shit got scared when Yeti got up in his face https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VU9XazXm9Cw

I'm not afraid of dying. The pain and suffering *before* dying is what scares me. Point a gun at my heart and I'll be scared, but point a gun at my cock and I'll shit myself in terror.
>>149164576
I'm more afraid of how your entire body shutting down might feel extremely painful and you won't even know it's fucking over. Just like how a gun means you're gonna hurt real fucking bad and your survival instincts kick in.
>>149164688 >your entire body shutting down might feel extremely painful
It really depends how you die. I've heard that as long as there isn't a lot of CO2 build-up, dying from oxygen deprivation feels fucking fantastic. Although that's just what the survivors have said.

Until you go out like David Carradine did.

The yeti had the right to be mad, but he honestly came off as a dickhead. You're telling me he didn't put up any "private property. no trespassing" signs in his barren wasteland?
>>149164328
Being at peace with one's own mortality does not at all suddenly switch off the survival instincts that our brains will practically roar at us if we're ever actually placed in mortal danger, because no fucking shit. What use is a living organism that does not do everything in its power to stay alive at all times?
