Do you really not know how to take this? Despite the difficulty, I'll assume for a moment that you're not intentionally being tedious.
I'm sure if you go back and find people saying something along the lines of "life has no meaning" it will be in response to someone asserting "there must be something greater than us, we must survive death, why are we here, etc". In context it means that human life in and of itself has no meaning, we aren't here by design, we never had to be. This is very different from assigning value to things and discovering what is meaningful to your particular existence.
That said, if you insist on maintaining your juvenile conclusion that life is meaningless unless your pleasure is maximized, I wish you luck in your misery.
