I don't think Russia's or Putin's attitude is to be individualist. Quite the opposite, they want more allies, but of course they want allies that are favorable to their agenda. Allies like China.

Americans and NATO have been deploying defensive missile silos close to Russian boarders for a long time. And as Putin says, those "defensive" silos can be retrofitted into offensive nuke launch sites within days. This retrofit seems trivial. So while NATO says it's purely for defense, nothing would stop them from turning them into offensive weapons if they wanted to. And Putin does not want to rely on their word for assurance. Yes, it would trigger a war, but this serves the US and NATO doubly: 1) it locks Putin into never moving his military outside Russia because they boxed him in by having all of Europe join NATO, 2) in the rare case that a war would start, Ukraine would take the brunt of the damage and Russia would be left with their pants down. This is a win-win for the US, and a lose-lose for Russia. Russia losing Ukraine to the West is like having your balls dangling and exposed in a street fight. The West's position has been: "Yes, your balls are dangling and exposed, but don't worry, we will never kick them. You can trust us. We are the good guys." Obviously Putin scoffs at such a deal. The Ukrainians might disagree with you there.

How do they know what Putin or Russian command was thinking? Seems like a lot of speculation with an obvious Western bias.

Depends on how you define "my". You can be free of what you currently think of as yourself. Pure Infinity is endless freedom. But yeah, you can't stop existing. You are God. God exists forever.

Existence is Absolute. It cannot ever be finished. Yes, the end of you as a finite, distinct thing. But you will exist as pure Infinity forever. If you got a glimpse of pure Infinity, you would be so horrified you'd call it death. It's a lot like death, except you are conscious forever of endless nothingness. I've seen it. It's the most terrifying thing you could imagine. But also, it's LOVE. It's the last thing you could possibly want.

And no such claim of uprooting defilements has been made. The claim made was simply insight, consciousness, and God-realization. If you want to transform your mental habits, that's decades of additional work. God-realization is a distinct event from changing your human self. You can have one without the other, and vice versa.

In this context he means by "existence" your existence as a finite human form. You stop existing in the sense that this form disappears. But then you exist as pure Infinity. You are not parsing his words properly.

Non-existence is a concept. There is only existence. Existence as a form or existence as formlessness. But both are existence. Humans commonly mistake formlessness for non-existence. This is the error.

I have seen attractive girls with lame looking guys. But of course generally people of similar attractiveness levels match. Buy attractiveness in a guy is not just about looks. Most normal guys don't have much game nor much value to offer, they just coast on whatever they got. In which case they can't bat out of their league much. Batting out of your laegue requires bringing the value.

Dude, Facebook exists. It will continue to exist and evolve. You want it to improve or not? Because there is no future where it doesn't exist.

He def lives in China. He should be careful cause they will deport him for the posts he makes lately.

Western military analysts? I don't trust them to look at the situation without some serious bias. A lot of stuff is being assumed but reported as fact.

It's pretty clear to me Ukraine would have eventually joined NATO and the US would use Ukraine as the frontline against Russia and build missile silos there. It's obvious this is what America leadership wants. They wanted to make Ukraine the battleground against any future conflict with Russia. So here we are. Their wish came true.

How do we know he thought it would end in days? But yes, the decision to invade the whole of Ukraine seems absurd. Not sure what he was thinking. It would be interesting to know his actual thought process. I don't see how he benefits from this.

You and 4 billion other guys. Or maybe some people just enjoy marriage and kids as a lifestyle? Doesn't mean you have to. Burn through that karma. Pursue and fulfill some of your teenage desires. Just don't be sleeping with underaged girls.

That's a rather nuanced and in-touch thing for Facebook to do. Not sure if it's needed, but at least it shows that Facebook is being nuanced and thoughtful about its policies in this case.

I was wondering why they hadn't already done so. The RT channel has a lot of pro-Russian, pro-Putin propaganda videos.

What he gained is Ukraine not joining NATO. Was it worth the cost? Doesn't seem so.

Have you never seen street interviews of average Americans? They are idiots. They couldn't tell who the vice president it. This is why society is not run by average people, but by exceptional people. - - - - - - Hard right wing and nationalist elements exist in every country. Nothing new or interesting in that. Doesn't justify an invasion or overthrow of an elected government.

I never said I wasn't. I said YOU should avoid it. You shouldn't do everything I do.

Optimizing your diet would be the first key. Then exercise. If you socialize a lot you will catch more viruses in the short run. But then you should develop more immunity in the long run. Comprehensive blood work is an important place to start troubelshooting. Especially check your vitamin D levels. Also vitamin B, iron, hormones, thyroid, etc. Vitamin does needs to be in the mid to upper range. Low range is not good enough.

I will have trip reports on pharmahuasca, mescaline, ketamine, MDMA, toad, and iboga in the future. I can also report on every 4-ho, 4-aco, 5-meo subtype.

Because they just assume a hot guy is confident. They don't understand what it takes for a guy to develop confidence nor do they care. They will just unconsciously screen out meek, unconfident guys. And if you ask them, of course they will admit they like confidence. "I want to sleep with an insecure, meek, unconfident man", said no woman ever.

Have you tried chewing them or making a tea out of them? That's how salvia leaves are traditional used. The natives do not smoke it. It should give you a longer and milder trip. Just chew/brew more leaves. I haven't tried it but sounds interesting. Also, I don't see why you can't achieve the same effect with extract. Just smoke less of it. It's the same active ingredient. It's hard for me to justify saliva when DMT is so much clearer and more effective for me. I guess if you got nothing better then use it. But DMT, 5-MeO, or MALT is where the real insight is at.

@Spence94 You might appreciate this YT channel of an English China vlogger, he covers this issue a lot: Really good vlogger on China issues from the inside.
