  1. Past hour
  2. The most cis men humor I heard in a long time.
  3. Interesting point. If you are colorblind, then God would be imagining a reality without color. Does color still exist if you cannot experience it? You would only have your idea of what it would be based off your limits of consciousness.
  4. This person explains different ways power is / could be abused in academia. I hope this video hasn’t been shared here ir in the blog before.
  5. Read Advanced magick for beginners by Alan Chapman.
  6. They would have a harder time to keep the muscle while loosing the fat if it turns out that higher rep training is more hypertrophic then strength training, but thats the basis of our discussion I believe. Well a mix of strength training and hypertrophy and constant "bear mode" will get you far ofc. Btw. Eddie Hall and Brian Shaw are strongmen though. In strongmen events you do mostly exercises where you need strength endurance. 1 rep maxes dont train that optimally. They likely train mostly in the hypertrophy range anyway. I dont think Olympian BB are always the pinnacle of maximum muscle development when I think about it, some symmetrie and proportion is important. Greg Kovac, despite being arguably the biggest BB ever never placed highly because of it. A big gut often carries with it more muscle, but its unaesthetic. Well that makes a basis for argumentation pretty small. Btw. do you think that all intuitive training will lead to strength based training? What do you think about the Golden Age bodybuilder who did lots of sets. They didnt have the science so they trained in a way that intuitively felt good. And then Mike Mentzer the science guy came along with his one set high intensity style lol. There is a calisthenics icon which I cant find anymore unfortunately. He collabed with Jeff Nippard and I believe Frank Yang at some point. He does his own intuitive training style and does unholy amounts of volume every day. 2020 pull ups to new year and stuff like that. What do you make of that?
  7. Do what feels natural. I personally wouldn't hold her hand but if the girl gives you a very warm hug, you can go for it.
  8. Alright, man. Before I say anything else, just know that this is just a learning experience. Don't get too emotionally invested in this. Have fun with it. But to address what you said here: Do not have her be your tour guide. I've done that before and ended up regretting it. You are the man, you lead. I don't care if it's your first time in the country. You still act as if you know what's best. Trust me dude, even though it doesn't make sense logically, this is what the girl wants on an emotional level. I suggest you do your research, find 2 spots nearby your house and ask her to meet you somewhere nearby and just be like "Hey, you like tea/beer/coffee/matcha? Cool, I just saw a cool spot on my way here, let's go check it out" and just lead. Now, as for keeping the conversation going, I would recommend to make a list of 5-10 things that interest you and 5-10 interesting questions that you could ask her. Conversation skills are a whole thing to talk about but a simple formula is 1] ask question, 2] she answers, 3] you give your thoughts on what she said or tease her based on the answer she gave and 4] share your own perspective on the topic. So, for example: You: What is the most adventurous thing that you've done recently? Her: I went bungee jumping! It was a lot of fun. You: Oh fuck yeah. I always wanted to do that. Not gonna lie, I thought for a second you would be the type that says 'oh, I once snuck out of detention' or something, so I'm glad you did something *actually* adventurous, haha. Her: Hahahah, what about you? You: Coming to Thailand is definitely up there.. etc etc --- Don't overthink it, though. If the girl likes you - which she clearly does if she's going on a date with you - she will carry some of the conversational load as well, so don't fall into the mindset that you need to entertain her. This is a two way street. As far as flirting goes, that is a biiiiig topic as well. The basic idea behind effective flirting is that you want to talk to her as if you're evaluating a future relationship with her either in the positive or negative. So, for example: Her: I looove to dance salsa! You: I knew there was something off about you.. Her: Whaat?! What do you mean? You: My mom told me to stay away from salsa girls, they're too dangerous That's an example of you playfully disqualifying her for dating. Here's a positive example: Her: [Talks about something she's very passionate about] You: Okay ... You need to stop talking to me with all this passion cause I'm gonna fall in love with you and I'm way too busy in my life for that shit. So slow down please. Her: hahahha -- I recommend that you come up with some flirtation lines of your own or just look some up online. I would honestly not worry too much about it though because this is a date from Tinder, so the girl already knows what's up. I would focus more on giving her very strong eye contact and glancing down at her lips every now and then when she speaks. Nothing fancy. Now, when it comes to escalation and motioning for her to sit closer and stuff.. fam, this ain't rocket science. Literally say "come over here, I don't bite" and tap the free space between you on the bench. Then put your arm around her and just keep talking as if nothing crazy is happening.
  9. @Zenterus yo I might use it 😂. And like while you walk, do you hold hands? The thing is that on one hand I also don't want to make the girl feel awkward by not doing any move and not touching her at all.
  10. Yeah I saw a video that 1/3rd of the entire Gen Z are dead because of abortions. Obviously that's just one of the many red flags that the empire is finished For anyone wondering, no healthy functioning societies don't do that
  11. Muslims aren't hateful towards Christians. That's why there is only a word for hating Muslims and no "christianphobia" Islam is definitely the most misunderstood of the 5 major religions due to half a century of non stop false propaganda
  12. I typically just give her a hug and say "long time no see" as a little joke.
  13. Brah no one saying you can't 🤪 Just that it's silly
  14. And like how do you greet hello when starting the date? 😂
  15. @Shermaningeorgia non se·qui·tur /ˌnän ˈsekwədər/ noun noun: non sequitur; plural noun: non sequiturs; noun: nonsequitur; plural noun: nonsequiturs a conclusion or statement that does not logically follow from the previous argument or statement. I asked a question I didnt make a conclusion, or statement.
  16. Hair weave, hair extensions. Sewing horse hair on your scalp in general.
  17. Most people have conformed to having kids without putting much thought into it. Seems you are making the process a conscious one by thinking it thru- good stuff. I love children- but legacy is not a top value of mine. If you genuinely value legacy, I could see kids being a good thing
  18. Depends on the nature of the breakup I would say. If they dumped you it will be hard to maintain a friendship vs. if it was a mutual decision out of love and respect. Many ex’s will try to keep you around after dumping you as it makes it emotionally easier for them- but they have no intention of getting back with you and will move on faster while you are holding out hope
  19. Today
  20. @OBEler I can't say I'd recommend that to anyone else either. Haha
  21. I would let this go and move on. Grieve and move on. This works sometimes when both people sorta fall out of love or get old and don’t care. Usually it’s harder for younger people to stay friends like this.
  22. @Zenterus wish I could just voice message you since it became my normal way of explaining stuff haha. Basically I'm traveling now Thailand so I am just trying out tinder here, and I am lodging in hostels. But in any case, I take what you say and just make it relevant to me. My plan was that she'll be the one who kinda knows around and stuff but I'll be the one like "hey, let's go there. Looks nice". So yes, to keep leading by "bouncing" to different paths I guess. Maybe then I'll suggest "hey I kinda want to get a drink/tea" and then offer her as well (the whole instant date thing). You get what I'm saying. But I'll be honest man, 2 things are worrying me a little: 1. Keeping the conversation going. 2. Flirting and escalating. Like what do you mean by motion her to sit closer? I'm a little scared doing those moves, like the arm around her. This shows intimacy and bravery. Like, let's say I do this, then what do I do and say next? It's obvious I became more intimate with her that way.
  23. IFS therapy, according to Wikipedia (as of this post): Been doing IFS for 6 months with our neurodivergent relationship therapist and it SAVED it! Despite science saying it doesn’t work 😹 I have experienced dissociated symptoms in therapy, but I don’t see it as a problem. Helps me go deeper.
  24. 27.12.25 OBSESSION, PERSISTNCE, DREAM, NO EVNY, NO LOOKING BACK, WORK ETHIC, PASSION, ENERGY, POWER, SPIRITUAL POWER, BECOMING A KING, NO FAP, WORK 17 HOURS A DAY, FUCK BITCHES 2026 INFINTE LIMITELESS GOD How does no one intuitvely grasp the POWER of language. I feel like It took me a solid, 25-26 years to do it.. and thats fucking embarassing. Yet most people never arrive. Thats why i became interested in affirmations, even in a meta sense. It was the concept of "power words" that really did it for me, and somewhat owen cooks marketing material, but really it was a random soup of inputs And its ironic but its hard for me to truly articulate what I mean here, this sense of the power of language, its not something you can quanitfy or easily describe, its like feeling based. Obviously actually being good at using words can be more technical .. but the technicality of language use can only be a force multiplier, especially spoken language, theres tonality and all that but most of that comes from within, tonality mostly reflects the state and depth within.
  25. @fopylo Counter-intuitive move: treat her like a homeless person 😂😂 this fucking sounds ridiculous but you will not put her on a pedestal.
