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.
Beneath rock bottom is a trap door.
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.
Schlimmer geht immer
Sounds like you’re doing it the Rocky Bottom Way
Better than the way we had
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.
Rock bottom is where you stop digging
Another win for the lazy
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!
I’ve hit rock bottom and started to dig.
I call that Dwarven Artistry.
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…
I believe it starts at rock bottom and then you work your way towards buns of steel.
Been watching the d20 marathon, but didn’t recognize this. Which season was this?
This was Brennan playing a lil frog for a critical role adventure. It was called Wildemount Wildlings and i recommend it.
Oh I can hear the voice now.
Thanks homie
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.
Rock bottom is where we live, and still we dig these trenches.
Then you can pretend to be in Plato’s cave and everything’s FINE. SHUTUP ABOUT THE TREES EVERYTHINGS FINE SHUTUP
Some just keep digging into the rock hoping to strike gold.
i like her hairband
You could get crushed by the weight of everyone and everything in the core…
