  1. Past hour
  3. I also sift through extensive lists of synonyms, antonyms, euphemisms and dysphemisms. So, I hear a word I do not know - I look up the current definition, it's etymology, pronunciation. Then synonyms and antonyms of it. Then I formulate a sentence using the word - then I work a euphemism / dsyphemism for it (if it is possible). I probably remember words easily because this method. Usually verbally dictate into chatGPT for a pointer - then find a proper source. Lots of English literature when young was a huge formative drive for this
  4. Every time. I log them too You?

  5. Science and Truth

    Leo Gura replied to QVx's topic in Personal Development -- [Main]

    I know you are sick of it, but I still have more work to do on science.
  6. I know you are and it's perfect when you do it because your tone is usually so casual so you can toss it in there with maximum impact 😉 like your psychedelic joke on me was great
  7. Me too. I love it.
  8. Working on the sense of humor a bit 😀😃
  9. You had me there are a second lol.
  10. @Joseph Maynor you know that was a joke right.
  11. I can respect people that have done psychedelics.
  12. Today
  13. I was never really into this, but I can respect people who love words and wordplay.
  14. Yeah i would rather plant the better word in when needed. It is nice to see someone's face when you use a word they don't understand. And you have to explain what it means. It's not to show off I think its natural to grow your vocabulary and you should be able to get more advanced with your language.
  15. I will look up words I don't know and I did that a lot when I was younger. But I try to speak in a common tongue as much as possible because my aim is communication with everyone. I'm not talking about technical terms in a field, those need to be learned. I'm talking about using big words when a more ordinary word would suffice.
  16. Yeah im a nerd like that I enjoy using new words. Math is the complete opposite for me. I suck and I don't want to have to do formulas
  17. How have your values changed over time?
  18. @LordFall But resilience is not self-torture or self -harm. Thanks for sharing this video ,I watched it and found a lot of great lessons in it.As per the video this guy didn't tortured himself to prove to himself that he can take it but he rather overcame excruciatingly life threatening hardship. As per me I have survived great deal of hardships in my life up till now.
  19. If a word I already know works, I would rather not learn an unusual word to refer to the same thing.
  20. Its an interesting take on OCD and religion and how religion helps the mentally ill. But it is very superficial about OCD becsuse ritual is only one flavor of OCD. I actually have OCD and it is not about that at all for me
  21. Always i love learning new words.
  22. Chinese food is yummy
  23. Yes, I believe Southeast Asians make the best food

  24. Women are attracted to emotional guys

    Joseph Maynor replied to Someone here's topic in Dating, Sexuality, Relationships, Family

    This is true, and I don't like it because although I like to create humor, I don't find wit or wordplay particularly fun to engage in terms of creating humor.
  25. Ok. Then what i want you to realize is that you hold yourself as precisely that "this direct presence experience,this is it, its not my face" that this IS your identity but notice something. This is a fucking thought ! How can it be you when it was so not you that it was a flashing thought?! Fuck. I mean where does that leave you then? Oh my fucking God there isnt a you. So you have to keep doing that until something mystical happens and then that will be enlightenment.
  26. @Natasha Tori Maru @Inliytened1 😅 Just curious, how often do you guys look up unfamiliar words when you read them?
  27. Nothing on enlightenment
