  1. Past hour
  2. I experienced exactly the same at the pool when I was 5-7 years old. In my mind, I was thinking: "So I guess this is the end. It's been nice. Bye, world." 😂
  3. Cheers for the share Fucking wild no arrests. I just randomly started looking for evidence or news and couldn't find squat. These cu*** are the scourge.
  4. Our buddies over here will point you to the basic spirituality videos you perhaps have watched 10 years ago.
  5. People get addicted to online spaces because real life is generally not very safe for authentic expression. Anonymity protects the person from harm, physical and psychological. Overall, online interactions provide safe engagement with authenticity, which is a rare experience in real life. Most people online are either sensitive or fragile or empty or going through a rough patch.
  6. when I was younger I almost drowned in the middle of the sea and I didn't have a near death experience..I was just thinking that I'm gonna simply disappear forever so I surrendered completely because I thought never ever again in the history of the cosmos will my life repeat again or any other kind of life for that matter . But after I was rescued ..I thought that death won't ever happen to me .if I could survive this situation then I will definitely survive even harder situations in the future if they happen . The guy who rescued me was an experienced person in swimming. I was pretty deep in the middle of the sea and I was young and little and it was pitch dark . I mean if this doesn’t happen because god does show you signs , I don’t know what else would . for example science says the odds of this universe existing after the Big Bang happened without fine tuning is 10^-10000000000000000000000 .. and some atheists do actually have the nerve to say that God doesn’t exist . Like you gotta be kidding my ass .
  7. Don't think so. More FBI files released recently - another 13 year old says Trump sexually assaulted her.
  8. I know this is old (sorry for the necro!) - but I can't find anything: was anyone actually arrested for this shit?
  9. Ill have to look this one up.
  10. if all the experienced memebers leave , then we are left with only retards
  11. Collectively we are the forum. What you say and your tone matters. What's wrong with the forum is immaturity, lack of empathy and mob mentality. I see nothing wrong or contradictory @Emerald with how you chose to present yourself. You are saying "Here I am this is me!" and we're all doing the same. How would you feel if your character was picked apart and analysed and contradicted with every post? We should be listening to what people are actually saying and not raging against a person's character.
  12. Saturday: October 24th, 2026. Sexual energy as a component is distinct from needing sex.
  13. Fair enough. Yet you seemed okay comparing Gaza to Iraq. I hope you noticed the bias there. Gaza is ethnic cleansing. And as Leo mentioned earlier, it's happening right now.
  14. Saturday: October 24th, 2026. Expectation of a positive future is distinct from pitch-dark pessimism.
  15. Saturday: October 24th, 2026. Titanic that struck an iceberg is distinct from a titan.
  16. Saturday: October 24th, 2026. Amazon river in South America is distinct from sudden amazement.
  17. Saturday: October 24th, 2026. Extrabold font with bold characters is distinct from lionhearted guts.
  18. In short you’re frustrated because you were contradicted by some people on a tropic.

  21. What is duty? I welcome challenges, critiques, alternate perspectives, ideas I am going to help the process of thinking about these subjects on a slightly deeper, yet extremely practical level. I have chosen to briefly spend some time explaining the following as I think a lot of people would benefit from this introspection, and hopefully, what I've revealed below. There is a misconception that emotions are just singular entities. However there are many emotions that require other emotions at the very least as supporting roles for the stabilisation of other emotions. One example is our emotion of duty we're examining here. For our demonstrative purpose, our use of the term emotion here, has both a cognitive and felt aspect; and we won't muddy the waters with terms like values, beliefs, virtues, etc concerning, at least not for now. Duty generally carries with it several other emotions and each of those emotions have their own intrapersonal and interpersonal position. I have hypothesised the following. A certain level of the following emotions at some degree of simultaneity are needed for duty to even exist: - love - acceptance - responsibility - honour How can you feel a sense of duty if you don't have a sense of love towards that object (even if its oneself)? > Love acts as the inspiration. How can you feel a sense of duty when you don't accept the conditions or the object that correspond to either the sense of duty towards the object or the actions that result from that sense? > Acceptance acts on non-resistance. How can you feel a sense of duty when you don't feel a sense of responsibility towards the object or the conditions corresponding? > Responsibility acts as conscience. How can you feel a sense of duty when you don't feel honoured "to be doing" or "to be doing it for" the object, its or any conditions? > Honour acts as admiration. And what about sub-emotions or the absence of negational one's like fear, where might they position relatively speaking? What other emotions may I have missed, or relate to say more unique contexts? How do you think the sense of duty plays out in the context of these foundational emotions with oneself (intrapersonal) versus others (interpersonal)? Can someone have a sense of duty towards others and not themselves, or themselves but not others? What inner conflicts can you imagine someone may have with a sense of duty relative to changing outer and inner circumstances? If one can ascertain the above, how might someone be able to leverage this knowledge for their own personal growth? By no means are my answers final, they are jumping boards. I make a claim, you think if it matches your own deeper connections and contemplate how you can map it further; while feeling free to challenge or extend. Rock out @Nercohype. Hope this is useful and not too much of a derail sir, if I wasn't direct enough earlier, to briefly add, when it comes to truth and awareness, our minds are juggling multiple priorities relative to the examples you brought up. We already worked out that the most aware decision we can make at any given time, depends on our awareness. Second, that there is no distinction between empathy and truth, that it is merely a social form of awareness, and in doing so, a social form of truth. Thus, the most aware decision is not in deciding between truth and other people, but rather, managing the truth of the awareness we have of others and ourselves versus the truth of other things like our direct experiences contemplations, etc. I hope that's more clearer now. There is no distinction between awareness and truth, and therefore no distinction between anything you can possibly be aware of, and the truth, inclusive of social. So your only duty relative to how you have characterised it, is in simply managing what the most self-aware decision is based on those priorities. For social, you can have all the sense of duty you want, but at the end of the day you also need strong boundaries. I sense this last point is important in your case. Feel free to elaborate or not as you wish.
  22. @Joseph Maynor I love Monster but bro had to be banned lol
  23. Not in scale, not in severity, not in cruelty, not in intentionality, not in killing methods, not in the amount of suffering of most individuals when your life could end at any moment at the whim of a Nazi officer during roll call, not in the level of fear, not in the degree of loss of liberty. Not similar by almost any measure.
  24. What kind of diet do you find most nourishing and feel-good to you?
