@Natasha Tori Maru Honestly, and after some more contemplation, it's not only laughable, but also egoic and even delusional to think in a binary way about this topic. Having a "good taste" doesn't mean you like everything that's excellent, it just means you have a developed preference within a tradition. It's like saying I like all the best and tastiest foods in the world because I have a good taste. But even a chef (food expert) has a specialty in certain types of foods, not all foods. So they cannot claim a universal objective of taste. They can only point out deficiencies and shortcomings within a tradition. And it's fairly obvious that every group of people (culture) has preferences that are different to others. So, if someone claims that he feels attracted towards the top, most objectively "hot" women of every single culture, this can mean one of two things: Either he is selecting unconsciously and filtering for the most desired ideals within a culture. Or he is genuinely, authentically attracted to an impossibly wide range of human features that have almost nothing in common. In both cases, the word "hot" is doing no real work, and his claim of having "good taste" is just a way of saying "I like whoever is on top, wherever I am". Then he's not a connoisseur of beauty, but a chaser of consensus, mistaking the crowd's murmur for his own voice.

I remember Todd V talking about speed dating. He said it was sort of like cheating after you've done cold approach. And can be a good way to practice. Think he said some other stuff too. Speed dating sounds great.

The guys also want the "best" possible partner.

The only reason why I was saying to look up legal eu ai sites that are similar to yours, is because that could give an indication about the boundary around what is permissible and what isn't . (but the issue is that there is no easy way to check which website is legal and which isn't and basically it gets you back to the issue about how the laws should be interpreted and which set of laws are relevant - so its basically a trash advice in practice). Given my non-professional layman opinion, I think you should be good with the strat that you outlined. There are a few more things that I would add to your safeguard strat (you can add them if you want). When it comes to the registration , you shouldnt allow people to use temporary emails [1,2,3 - and there is a lot more] and temporary mobile numbers[1,2,3]. (One easy way to filter out temp-mail sites is to only permit trusted email providers [by having a list of trusted email providers]) When it comes to the tempnumbers , you can for instance - run a bot once a month or once a week that collects all the tempnumbers from the previously mentioned sites (and then each time the bot runs, it can append any newly discovered numbers to your existing list).

@Basman you can sit down for a brainstorming session, and critically think through all the systems that might influence how attraction isn't a binary split between subjective/objective. It's more of a spectrum. You also have to define what you mean particularly with the term "attraction" "Fairly objective and obvious" - that word fairly is loaded with... A lot of nuance. It's potentially doing a lot of work there.

In this thread post content relative to corruption in China. Please keep it conscious and civil.

I don't understand this urge to relativize something which is fairly objective and obvious. And well documented. Even babies like attractive faces.

Well I guess if Im preaching that would make you my disciple.

As I am writing this I am in Kyiv. My life purpose brought me to this war zone to bring magic and smiles to the people who deserve it most. They are standing their ground for not just their country, but all of europe and the western world. Ukraine is fighting not only for its own freedom, but also as Europe’s first line of defense against Russian aggression. On the day you hear here alarms going of, shelters are found in multiple places under the city. You don't know what strength means until you visit this place for a few days and meet the people here. It is my third day of the ten days that I am staying here and already met many people. Volunteers going to the most dangerous places to rebuild homes. People here are at constant risk of losing their life, but they don't care. Almost unbothered, like true eastern Europeans, I would doubt if in western europe we would ever have so much strength during war. Life moves on, people go to the shopping mall, sit at a terrace, it is like visiting any big city. The gratitude these people have when you bring just a little entertainment to them is gonna make you cry. They really are such strong people, standing their ground, including woman who are seen as "weak" sometimes or pussy hahaha. I have seen woman here that have more balls then most men, so I will never say woman are weak ever ever ever again. Not that I said they are weak, but you get my point. May God be with Ukraine and all the beautiful people living here and with their beautiful churches, they have the most beautiful churches, you should come and see. I might do an update later this week, thank you.

Yeah. The whole experience, not a part of it. Yeah, there isn't a self the thoughts are about, there's just the self that's currently aware of it. Previously it seemed that there were things to worry about in the future and stuff like that, but it's recognized that there's essentially just one thought presently occurring. Yeah, it's an idea or concept. You can't actually find a chooser in your experience, because it's the implication of something other than what is currently happening. -
With that being said, this save from Alireza Beiranvand is fucking crazy! https://packaged-media.redd.it/i4brmtm34p8h1/pb/m2-res_1080p.mp4?m=DASHPlaylist.mpd&var=sgpssan&v=1&e=1782122400&s=ca7ad116d7c01ddb1cb6ecdd50c2f45be6d492e0

Is there any cross tolerance between MALT and other 5 meo's? Eg. 5meo-mipt? Is there any known cross tolerance between MALT and other psychs? I tried malt the day after some lsd and it seemed the effects were lessened - especially the physical sensations of energy moving through the body and "glow" that I usually feel with malt. Thanks

Ummm... judging from what I saw yesterday, No! they are not going anywhere near the finals! It was frustrating to watch. They are great defensively, but they can't counter attack properly and they lose possession easily. The match between Egypt and Iran would be very interesting though

Egypt let’s go

I think once you have enough safeguards in place such that you have to do considerable amount of work to counteract them (and knowing how to counteract them becomes increasingly counterintuitive), that would probably be sufficient. For example, having a text field function where they can just paste text from wherever or use URLs without verification, even if they are told not to do non-consensual profiling, still makes it very easy to do it (basically just as easy as profiling yourself). But only being able to use profiles you've verified to be you, to counteract that, other than e.g. stealing their profile, you would have to post somebody else's posts/information on your profile, and considering how weird that would probably look most of the time, you would probably want to do that on a new profile that nobody knows about, so you would have to create a new one (and one could put restrictions in place like minimum age of an account which makes this harder). That's definitely more work than just profiling yourself (and it's also probably counterintuitive and uncommon to arrive at), and you're doing that work while knowing you shouldn't do it, actively disregarding the guidelines to not do it, again not merely because it's easy, but because you're intending to subvert and abuse the intended features (which places a feeling that they are the ones doing something wrong, not the ones who created the features). And this exists on a spectrum, for example on the very extreme would again be to try to hack people's accounts and steal their information that way and then use that information for the tests. If you really want to abuse something, you can if you try.

Four of Pentacles Biddy
-
Four of Pentacles General Meaning and Interpretation (Upright) In a general context, the Four of Pentacles Tarot card can indicate that you are holding on to people, possessions, situations or past issues. It can be an indication that there are deep seated issues affecting you that you need to process and let go of. This Minor Arcana card can indicates that you may be trying very hard to cling onto the people or possessions that give you a sense of security. You may be holding onto things in an unhealthy, possessive, controlling or toxic way or someone may be holding onto you in such a manner. It can indicate that you need to establish your boundaries or respect the boundaries of other people. The Four of Pentacles can also indicate a lack of openness, blocking or obstructing progress, keeping to yourself or a sense of isolation. It can represent wealth, greed, materialism and penny pinching. Love & Relationships (Upright) In a love Tarot reading, the Four of Pentacles is not a great card to get. If you are in a relationship, it can indicate that either you or your partner may be acting in a possessive, jealous or controlling manner which could be having a negative effect on your relationship. Be careful not to hold on so tight that you squeeze the life out of your relationship. It can also be an indication that one of you is holding onto past wrongs or a grudge or that there are deep seated issues causing issues in the relationship. If you partner has wronged you in some way you will need to make a decision to either forgive them and move forward together or let go of the relationship. Holding onto grudges is toxic and breeds resentment. If you are single, the Four of Pentacles indicates that you may be holding yourself back from meeting someone new. This may be because you fear change, you are not approaching new relationships with an open mind and heart or it can be an indication that you are still holding onto feelings for an ex and are not ready to move on. Whatever the cause you will need to resolve these issues before you can fully embrace a new relationship. Money & Career (Upright) In a career spread, the Four of Pentacles usually indicates that you are in a stable position in your career. Do not let fear of losing that position rule your life, you can be careful about maintaining your position without being paranoid or isolating yourself. It can signify being weary of sharing with others in a career setting which could take the form of being possessive of your clients for fear of someone stealing them or unwilling to share ideas with co-workers as you worry they might take credit for them. This may be a valid concern in some situations but don’t go overboard. It may also indicate that you are holding on to a job that doesn’t fulfil you because you fear losing the financial security it gives you. Alternately, the Four of Pentacles can represent someone withholding something from you such as an employer holding a promotion or pay rise back. If you have your own business it can indicate that you are attaining success through honest hard work and building on it. In a financial Tarot spread, the Four of Pentacles usually indicates financial security and stability. It also indicates that you are trying to hold onto your wealth. This may be in the form of saving for a big purchase such as a house or car or putting money away for your retirement. However, it can also indicate materialism, penny-pinching or greediness or stinginess. Health (Upright) In a health Tarot spread, the Four of Pentacles can indicate that you may be holding on to old negative energy from past issues or experiences that may be having a knock on effect on your health. It might be a good idea to try Reiki or some form of energy healing to help you release those energies. If you are holding onto old emotional or psychological baggage, talking to a friend or professional counsellor might help you to release some of those issues. It is also a card of retention so you may be suffering from constipation or water retention when it appears. Spirituality (Upright) In a spiritual context, the Four of Pentacles indicates that you may be holding onto the past and resisting going forward on your spiritual path. Fear, regret or negativity may be holding you back and you may be closing your heart off to others or focusing too much on materialism. You need to take time out to figure out what you are holding onto and why. Try meditating or energy work to help this process along.
