Quite the assumption. You can sleep with someone without ideas of enriching yourself.

No. You are moving goalposts. The goalpost is always a sense of justice. Law merely serves that end but does not circumscribe it.

It goes beyond law. There is a vast culture of sexual abuse and exploitation of women in business, which is the status quo. And it skates by on sexual abuse being he-said she-said. #MeToo is a response to that injustice.

If the child is his, it's not blackmail, he has legal alimony obligations to her. That's why always use a condom.

I've taken so many psychedelics and understood God so clearly that the entire room I'm sitting in is God. I just sit and admire God. God is the room you're sitting in. Just keep returning your consciousness to it.

Hardcore meditation retreats. You need to transition away from the psychedelic crutch eventually anyway. You don't want your connection to God so dependent on an external force. What's also very helpful is just replaying those memories in your mind. The memories alone can be a powerful way to get you in touch with God right now. It's better than reading scripture or listening to humans.

If you buy that, let us know if it's legit.

Unfortunatley when the law fails too often, people take justice into their own hands. Which is why strict and consistent application of justice is important. Injustice leads to mob action. Which is what #MeToo is about. If rapists were properly dealt with then #MeToo would not exist. But since they aren't, here we are.

@Emerald Well said.

You won't find that.

Yes, I trade because the situation is just too crazy for simplistic long-term buy and hold. I'm not losing half my money to Trump's epic stupidity. Once the stupidity shakes out, then I will do long-term buy and hold. But you don't buy and hold at the top of an obvious bubble unless you're a masochist. Long-term I like Bitcoin, gold, and various tech stocks. But not at crazy inflated prices.

The drop has only begun. Know the difference between a dip and a bear market. (Assuming Trump doesn't cancel all the tariiffs). I won't invest in any stock for months. I expect a real bear market, not these quickie dips. I sold all my stock and Bitcoin a long time ago. The only thing I've been holding is some gold. Not sure yet whether to dump or hold it. Unclear how much gold will get hit here.

Bitcoin crashed hard. Monday will be a bloodbath.

I complain!!!

@integral What do you attribute your recovery to? Were there certain techniques that helped you? Or it just takes time to pass and resolves on its own?

What I dislike is spiritual hippies who support Trump and RFK.

@Hardkill Xi and Putin are smart. Trump is a raging ignoramous. Putin has a PhD in economics. Probably a fake one, but still.

Don't just sit and write free-style. You need to write a bare-boned outline of the key topics and points. Then polish up the outline by moving points around until you have a nice logical sequence of bullet points, a skeleton. Then when you sit down to write each day, you only work on fleshing out one bullet point at a time. Don't try to write one long flowing paper. Break everything up into sections that logically feed into each. Your outline should only be a couple of pages of short bullet points. You could write an outline in a few hours. Then just spend time re-arranging the bullet points. Think about which bullet points should come first and which ones later. Identify which bullet points are most fundamental to your thesis. Less is more. You to focus your energy on the most potent points rather than looking for quantity of points. What 3 core points prove your thesis? I basically do this every week to make my episodes. My episodes are like thesis outlines. Writing is the least important part. The outline is where all the meat is.

Well, his reputation is getting tarnished, fairly or unfairly. The justice system is slow and never gets everyone it should.

@Joshe Yup. Tariffs is like the one hammer Trump has in his toolbox to make himself feel like a king, so he will keep hammering away. It's like giving a manic and angry child a hammer in kindergarten and unleashing him on all the other kids.

I've never said I quit weed because I was never a chronic weed user. I done weed like 5 times. I support your decision to quit. Go for it!

Sorry to hear of your struggles. That's why I wanted to share the statistics.

That sounds like exactly the induced psychosis I was referring to. You dodged a bullet.

It's rare. It's only a problem for those who are genetically susceptible to schizophrenia and psychosis. No. I don't have statistics on other drugs or methods.
