To clarify, I meant the suicidal thoughts that arise during trips. I was not speaking about depressed people who are suffering in normal life and want to kill themselves for serious reasons, like health problems, financial problems, abuse, etc. There is a specific case of trip-induced suicidal ideation.

What does that mean?

Also, don't forget, it's not that Ukraine is just given free money. They have take on massive debt to the US. Ukraine will have to pay some of it back once things stabilize. If Putin is allowed to steal all their resources, Ukraine will not be able to pay anything back. If you look at a long time frame of 20+ years, if Ukraine can rebuff Putin successfully, it will be in a good position to repay much of the debts.

The greatness of China is very much in doubt. They do some evil shit to their people.

If he drops dead before 2024, we get 4 years of Donald Trump.

Definitely the US should not send troops to Ukraine. That is not on the table. I think the expense of funding Ukraine is not that high in the grand scheme of things. Way, way cheaper than any US war we've been in.

That fly has more charisma than Mike Pence.

I don't think that's true. I don't see why on Earth that would be true. Musk has done nothing I know of to reduce hate speech. I have read media headlines that say studies show hate speech has increased.

There is no way that is true. China is deeply Blue/Orange. It has yet to confront Green. Nevermind Yellow. I think if China went full capitalist, it would do as well or better than now. The core of China's prosperity is grounded in capital enterprise. State interference in business in China is not a great thing.

The way it worked for me was, I went through a phase of toying around with those ideas, but then emerged out the other end and now when I trip I have zero suicidal thoughts because I just see them as silly nonsense. My mind has stopped even "going there" because I am focused on much grander things. But there was a phase of maybe a year where my trips would include some suicidal thoughts. Not too serious, but still unnerving. It's a hump I think everyone will have to get over at some point of they trip a lot. Because you cannot avoid facing your own human mortality in this work. At some point you have to confront it. The key is simply to make a commitment to yourself never to physically act on it.

Yes. One of the biggest benefits I've gotten from all my awakenings is massive clarity into my human self, my human character. It is much clearer now to me what things are most important to me, so a lot of confusion and frustration is eliminated. Life becomes more streamlined and essential. Emotionally I am much more grounded and mature, so dramas are less of a thing. More general understanding of everything, so less conflict. Also, a huge improvement in caring how others think of me. I have become so solid in myself as GOD that I can hardly care what anyone thinks of me. It's just noise. Decisions are easier to make. There is much less manipulation of reality and people, which makes decisions much easier. I have stopped even trying to manipulate myself and my emotions. Much more confidence overall in everything I do. I don't fear death per se, I even look forward to it, but I still don't want to die for some stupid reason, because I see life as a miracle that should not be wasted.

It is not seriously demonized, it is the living reality for most men and women. However in Progressive bubbles they tend to be too "woke" to see the importance of such things. This is where Progressives be stupid. You just have to stop caring if a few people call you mysogonistic, and just keep being a strong masculine force. Think of it as a test of your manhood. If you are so easily detered from being a man by a few whiney overly woke Greens, then you failed the manhood test. Stop apologizing for being a strong man and a good leader. And push back on those who are overly woke and PC. Life is fucking survival of the fittest. Women die without men to protect them. No woke bullshit will ever change that. A proper woman respects and even appreciates that. It is not a diminishment of womanhood. Not at all. Remember, at least 50% of what these Progressive spew is silly bullshit. Don't take it too seriously.

Is this guy a joke?

It's very simple: A woman and her children's survival depends enormously on good leadership from a man. What a woman is looking for is a good leader to lead her. A leadher That is who she will be attracted to, get wet for, and fall in love with. The rest is monkey games.

I have always considered it purely a positive word. Stop listening to fools.

@Princess Arabia You don't need a dictionary to know the most obvious meaning of what a predator is. A tiger is a predator. Don't overthink it.

China is more capitalist than socialist. What works for China is crazy levels of global capitalism.

Musk buying Twitter is a net loss for everyone: for him and for the world. He's wasting his time with it. It's a giant distraction.

Massive transformation comes slowly. What else do you suggest? As you can clearly see, Progressives are not having many political victories. Yelling about it won't change it. The bottom line is that Progressives expect too much too fast.

But Dems do act way more mature, so I'm not sure what yoy're whining about. Every human organization has some corruption. You have to be realistic about that.

I understand your POV. However, as you said, it is important to consider the context when interpreting word usage. There is another meaning for the word predator which you just ignored. And that was obviously the meaning I meant. I propose that my statement above was both accurate and profound when properly interpreted.

Just ask the Ukrainians if they are cool with that. It's not like we are forcing Ukrainians to fight. If they want to surrender to the Russians they are free to do so.

Yup, I've had that many times. Great stuff.

There is truth in that. Still, not worth the cost of religion.

Neuralink is not implanted in normal healthy people, it is implanted in people with severe disabilities. Like if you have a spinal cord injury you might want to take a gamble to improve it with a Neuralink implant. Not a big deal.
