Yeah it's fair to find your comfort model. I like Gemini the best. I just started playing around with Claude. It's way more argumentative than Gemini so that's good for pushing intellectual boundaries. It can also be installed directly on your computer to play with your files directly which freaks me out a bit so I won't do that for now but I'm sure it's useful.

I don't think you understand much about spirituality. You're like a dude that opened up a fortune cookie and ran with it. Your actions are how you interact with reality. Just like you're choosing to write dumb shit and I'm choosing to call you out on it. The judgement is whether it aligns with your goals or not. OP did not want to have people with unhealthy habits in her life. Some people do and they would consider smoking good or smoking crack good. If you want to die early and not build anything meaningful in your life beyond fleeting dopamine then you might call that good as well. To call this wise is very low level cognition IMO.

For sure. This forum and spiritual/stage green communities tend to demonize stage orange but it's hard to accomplish much without it. Don't worry about one a day but a few a week is a good start. It's about the habit of inputing yourself in the world. On what to post depends on what you're good at and what you enjoy. Feel free to elaborate on that and I can give more feedback. A good start is posting good pictures of yourself or scenery around your city and writing a cool bio on it. For feels I would start just like the way Leo has been doing it lately, just pick a subject to talk about and talk on it for 30 seconds to 2 mins. You shouldn't worry too much about what you're putting out right now(nothing illegal and too unhinged obviously) but just getting out of your head and posting is the goal even if it's unrefined and/or boring for now. Social media is your gateway to the 8 billion other people in the world whereas you probably know and engage with less than 150 people on a yearly basis. I'm a hard introvert and when I tell people they don't believe me just because I host cool events and have group chats with hundreds of people in them. Little do they know I still stay in my room most of the time and get anxious when out for too long.

Fable 5's greatest leap forward is agentic workflows. They can work for hours up to days apparently. Agents usually lose coherence quite quickly so they aren't able yet to be a reliable employee. The original version of it Mythos is apparently great at finding zero day exploits and basically can be set to hack random software en masse which is why Project Glasswing was established.

I think you hit the nail on the head of why breaking an addiction is so difficult. At some point it becomes a tool for emotional regulation and control. I never got into cigarettes for too long just about a month but I vaped for years. I get the part that it becomes a lifestyle first thing you do when you get up and last thing you do when you go to bed. I think the elephant analogy works well here where the elephant still clings to the rope that stopped him when he was a child but he could break in an instant as an adult. I'm sure there was a reason that you picked up the habit in the first place. What do you think it's doing for you now if anything? There is a reason that you keep doing it or perhaps you're the grown elephant now that doesn't get much out of it and can just snap out of it with some mindfulness. I think there are legitimate reasons to pick up an unhealthy coping mechanism like if you're in a shitty job and most of the peace you get in life comes from your controlled smoke/vaping breaks. Its perhaps possible to deal with it without it but right now the priority is paying the bills and not having a nervous breakdown for example. Even after that time of life is done though people generally keep the habit out of comfort. For me the worst one is weed. It became my comfort zone and when quitting I would get random longing for it if I saw a nice balcony or even a nice sunset I would be like damn it would be nice to smoke here. I would feel scared to enjoy life without my comfort zone. I'm still in it now but realizing more and more that I can enjoy life just the same high or not and I'm starting to allow myself to enjoy moments sober I would've only enjoyed high previously. Perhaps it's the same for you

Smoking is inhaling carcinogens for stress relief because you don't have any other healthy coping mechanisms put in place. People want to feel an end to their suffering and there is usually a quick way to do that or a more consciousness and more durable way. You conflating the two is a lack of spiritual understanding i.e. spiritual bypassing.

Did you tell him that and did he say he would work on it or dismiss it? It's not crazy to want to be with people with positive health habits if you want to spend a long time with them. As I said my mom passed away from complications related to smoking as well as I have a family friend who did quit smoking a few years ago because his doctor told him you have to quit or you will die soon. It ruins lives. I'm confused how is this related? Use protection and only have sex with people who are tested if you're scared of STDs. Smoking in the US alone kills half a million people per year it's not really a close argument.

Gaslighting is rewriting truth to fit your agenda. Smoking leads to massive increases in cancer and lowering of life quality as you get age. My mom died partly due to health complications due to smoking. It's a toxic habit with real consequences. If you're here to argue that human suffering is inconsequential and it doesn't matter if people are in pain and hurting their life quality then I will go right back to calling your argument insane my friend on top of you are clearly spiritually bypassing.

You said questioning bad behaviour goes against the will of God and that you are fundamentally powerless to change your bad habits. Which is victim thinking combined with insanity imo. @Asia P That "real pain" and sadness you felt wasn't you being crazy or destroying your relationship, it was your intuition screaming at you that you were in an unstable environment. Heavy binging and cocaine use inherently create volatility, unpredictable mood shifts, and danger, no matter how much someone "treats you like a princess" when they're sober. You had the self-respect to choose a stable, healthy future over a toxic present. You dodged a bullet. Don't second guess yourself on this one IMO.

Yes you do you have many parts of your brain like the neocortex and the prefrontal cortex which allows you to make conscious decisions and not react to stimuli solely based on impulse. You are gaslighting because you are switching the villain and the victim. Now someone that advocates for their partner to stop doing damaging substance is just "going against god" and doesn't understand free will. That's not how the concept of free will works so you're not the one that's being talked about in this thread but I assume you do this in real life as well to avoid responsibility for unproductive behaviour. That's fine if you're satisfied with using that justification to cope with the problems in your life I can't change your life. I can change mine and tell others that what you're saying is toxic and gaslighting and victim mindset fundamentally.

Stop drinking the kool-aid and touch some grass buddy, you're describing insanity. Worse then that you're using it to justify toxic behaviour and trying to paint some beautiful picture about how it's all god's doing. Which is gaslighting. What you're describing is about the existence of squirrel. Give yourself some credit in that you have more agency than a squirrel.

What a weird coping mindset. You have the power to change your habits if you so desire. If you don't want to then that's a whole different story and you can fall into gaslighting like you just did there to justify it.

Why did you feel unsafe and paranoid? That seems more concerning than substance use although that can be problematic as well. Also how did he address it when you brought that up to him? If your partner respects you then you should be able to have difficult conversations without toxicity emerging. If he started to get angry at you or to gaslight you around these subjects then that's undoubtedly toxic behaviour. Comparing that to hearing you out and then working on the issues and perhaps having an occasional slip up here and there are two very different situations.

Anti aging is starting to boom quite well so you might never get wrinkles and end up biologically immortal sooner than you think. Yes you should. It takes about 30 mins to an hour to get something decent put together. Buying a domain name is like 10 euros. Stop overthinking and do it, you deserve independence. Create an instagram if you don't have one and start posting on it. A website is nice but it won't get you leads. I would buy the first 2 books of Alex Hormozi, he breaks down business better than anyone else I've seen. Do that and come back with more questions, asking more questions without taking action is a bit redundant. No matter your personality you should still be able to make 5-15k euros online within a few years of applying yourself. The personalities with massive industriousness are more meant to do multiple millions and billions but no reason you can't build a sustainable life doing something you love even if you aren't super money motivated. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Mst4hreQYl0

This is the training wheels version of Mythos that got Anthropic to urgently gather up 40 top institutions to warn them about it's capabilities and lead to Project Glasswing. The models at this point have the power to break our current understanding of cybersecurity and they also warn about biology for fear of bioweapons being created. On the flip side that means major medical breakthroughs are coming as well so if you're suffering from a previously incurable illness like autoimmune disorders or cancer and what not then it's looking better than ever. Buckle up boys and girls, the next 5 years are gonna be a ride! It's only accelerating.
