This guy is comically corrupt.

You gotta lower your standards. As least for the purposes of gaining experience. 1-2 approaches is not enough to learn game. You need to be doing 20 approaches a night at least. Ultimately, relocate to a city where there are more attractive girls. Getting some wingmen is also important for your progress. You need to find guys who are good with girls and observe and emulate them.

I don't know what kind of brain scan would pick that up. Most brain scans are so crude they will only pick up physical brain damage, which is not your issue. You can get an EEG test & evaluation, that might pick up some functional problems in your mental performance.

Hmmm... Have you experimented with various diets like carnivore or vegetarian? How does that affect you? I've noticed that exercise and weightlifting, or lack thereof, has a strong effect on my sex drive and performance. Cardio and heavy squats are really good for improving performance.

I have never been opposed to porn or jerking off. I've also never had a problem with it. It can be done in moderation in a healthy way. But many people here seem to have problems with it. It's gonna vary from person to person.

It's pretty simple. Find stuff you enjoy about life and pursue it with passion.

At least it wasn't the idea to stab her in the head with a knife.

That doesn't mean that will work in all the dangerous situations that may arise. There are many things you could do to hurt yourself which you would later regret.

Such babble.

You just have wrong expectations for what a forum is.

It's an addiction if you do it so much it starts ruining your life and you cannot moderate yourself.

I feel sorry for the cat who had to be in this video.

Completely losing control during a trip is genuinely dangerous. That's not a mistake. You do need to control some of your behavior. Some behavior is dangerous, some is not. Make that distinction. Some behavior is also socially dangerous.

Things can be understood in pure abstraction. You can understand 1+1=2 without any consequences.

Contemplation is a tool for deep understanding. You could go through life without deep understanding, but I wouldn't recommend it.

I have been surprised at how good Al Jazeera is.

Locking this because I feel this topic is not necessary.

When this war started the Belorussian president accidently showed a slide wherein they planned to invade Moldova after they succeed in Ukraine. Putin def had his eye on Moldova 2 years ago. But then again he expected a quick victory over Ukraine so not sure how far he wants to push his luck.

That's very questionable. Putin has some wacky ideas about Ukraine's status as a nation. He might even be interested in annexing Moldova.

They have a million more soldiers they could bring in.

I have tried all kinds of B vitamins. Don't recall the doses. Nearly all vitamins I tried do nothing for me.

The problem is that NATO is not fighting, so they really shouldn't have any such objectives. A military objective only makes sense if you are willing to fight for it. This whole thing matters way more to Putin than to NATO. Which is why Putin has the winning hand. To win a war you have to be willing to sacrifice more than your opponent. NATO is not serious about sacrificing. And Putin uses that against them.

It all depends on Putin's terms, which I don't know. The key question in all this is: What does Putin want to end this war? Does he even want to end it? Or does he want to grab all of Ukraine? I dunno. If Putin wants all of Ukraine then there can't really be a settlement, it must be a fight to the death. But also, realistically Ukraine is gonna have to give up some land to Putin in the end. They are too weak for a better deal.

Look, in the end you have to come to grips with the fact that psychedelics and Consciousness can always take a detour into Hell. That's just the nature or Consciousness. You have to just let that go and focus on the positives. Don't forget, everyday life can also turn into Hell at any day. Nuclear war could start tomorrow. However, you cannot live your life focusing on that. The key issue is how you use your focus. Focus on good stuff. Why are you focusing on bad trips when you could use that time to focus on good trips? 2 years after a trip is a long time. You should have let that go a long time ago. Stop fixating on it. Stop thinking about it.

I don't know how true that is. Early on everyone was predicting Ukraine would lose within weeks. Nobody on either side expected Ukraine to put up as good a fight as they have.
