Of course, feelings are important and of course polyamorous relationships will invoke stronger feelings in both directions than a vanilla monogamous relationships. Usually people in poly that hook up with others outside of their main partner have certain rules they follow like they check in a certain amount of times and they either don't allow sleepovers or do depending on the couples. For me being able to depend on the individual is the most important if I'm gonna intertwine my life intimately with others. So if I had multiple girlfriends and one of them told me upfront she has some type of feelings for another dude and wants to go hookup with him and keeps up communication throughout the process and tells me after hey that was awesome, not gonna see him again or hey that was awesome I wanna keep seeing him or hey that was awesome, I'm breaking up with you to go date him that's all fine with me as long as I'm not in the dark anxious about what's going on. This is why in general poly couples have much stronger communication and emotional awareness than monogamous couples because there are more layers to navigate and negotiate in their relationships.

Falling in love is so hard to define and quantify though. It can include codependent love, shallow short term infatuation like new relationship energy in polyamory, bipolar type love where someone loves you and then you offend them and they hate you 1 hour later, etc

I'm more systematic than most. I like systems and rules so I'm heavily drawn to particularly building a BDSM polycule and having strict protocols involved with rewards, funishments and punishments involved. For example now with my newfound interest in fashion picking my girlfriends' outfits daily is gonna be clearly a protocol I'm pulled into. Other ones are journaling based protocols and some more sex related stuff I'll leave out of it for the delicate minds on the forum lol That may not appeal to everyone but I think it's important to familiarize yourself with the different models of relationships that are out there and build your custom dream relationship instead of accepting the cookie cutter serial monogamy mainstream model.

This is one of the most evil masterminds in the whole multiverse. He must be stopped at all costs, ready the army @Yimpa we're going in for the kill

That's fair. I find his content to be a good synthesis of what's going on in the world. I don't really have the time to follow other content creators that make more like 30 min to 1 hour segments. I learn a few things from Zeihan and think about them for a while and ask AI to elaborate on the trends he's pointing to and then I move on with my day. Like for this one today, people have been talking about Trump being a Russian asset for a while. It felt like mostly empty speculation for a while but now it seems that he's working on strengthening ties to North Korea( which is a Russian ally) and being aggressive towards Europe. So we're slowly seeing the shape of a US-Russia-China triumvirate taking form.

This is one of my favorite channels to keep up to date with politics and geopolitics. Peter Zeihan posts daily videos Monday-Friday with updates on his analysis of both global and US news. Today's video touches on the blunder of the Trump Administration sabotaging the US's relationship with South Korea which is key for the US Navy and their ship building capabilities. He has some bias and sometimes sensationalizes stuff but for short videos under 10 mins he's got the best channel on the platform IMO.

Yes I would double check the conclusions and try to form your own but the actual information and analysis is pretty top notch

100%. The old way was to get married and if she cheats shun her from the community and ruin her life so other women and men in the community have a deep fear of adultery. Nowadays we have a dating free market where divorce is not really a big deal so the best way is just to adopt a continuous self-development mindset and offer a lot of value to the people you're dating in a way that's hard to replicate

Each poly couples comes up with their own rules and soft or hard boundaries. The main rule of monogamy is don't fuck other people but polyamory is way more complex than that. Some people do you can fuck other people but don't tell me about it, some people fuck others together, etc. It's hard for me to imagine what I'm gonna land on without actually talking about it with the people I'm gonna date. I plan to fuck many women as I travel the world over the next few years so expecting long-term companions I have to only fuck me seems a bit hypocritical. I'm also bisexual so if I had a polycule where the submissive males in it fucked the women that I was also dating that would be cool for me. The random dudes aspect profiting from my women's energy and not contributing much thus energy leaking out of the system is my main concern. Like a dude paying alimony to his ex wife for her to spend it on her new boyfriend type of thing. If one of my girlfriends had a random boyfriend that she really liked and was fucking a few times a year while being mostly part of my polycule that wouldn't bother me much though, as long as she's happy and contributing to my life.

Sure, casually. If we got serious I would expect her to quit that job and I would integrate her into my business endeavours. I believe in polyamorous arrangements more than open relationships. Dating multiple people at once to form a polycule, not so much just fucking random strangers all the time. The energy of the people in the relationship should mostly be used to benefit the people inside of the relationship not random strangers.

Yes, stripping showcases very deep psychology about human sexuality and the power of the tease. Strippers are also used as an economic indicator of recession lmao What were you looking to get out of it? I guess adding some male competition to your relationship can make it more exciting but I heavily dislike the idea of my women using their sexuality for the benefit of other men.

Seems like lower lows for Bitcoin are expected for the next while

Yeah in history they've been pretty good at abusing their power. My favorite is many popes throughout history ordering the rape and pillaging of many towns for political purposes. They accept Jesus as their savior so it's okay though it's not a sin.

Yeah phone sex operator sounds like a wild job to have. I think it's cool, people get their needs met in different ways. Both the customers and the workers that don't fit the traditional corporate world. I know a few strippers, they're interesting people to talk to. One of them went to the university of Toronto the top school in Canada and found mainstream society too restrictive and now she posts stripper content on Instagram https://www.instagram.com/p/DchMl4hOjKr/

There is some deception involved as some creators market it as a personal connection to them while it's really handled by a bot farm or dudes in the Philippines trained with scripts. Conceptually though it's a cutting edge innovation to sex work. Gives the creators ownership over their brands and for the customers you pay a cheap price for access to sexuality. I've paid like $15 to see a girl I know naked when she started an OnlyFans, great deal I'm a satisfied customer.

Why? Change it to elected official and it's the same concept of having higher power and responsibility than the average person. It's only the meritocracy vs divine rights of kings that changes the concept.

Short term outer game, medium and long term inner game. If you have the right process you can get laid pretty fast and consistently but if your psychology and alignment with reality aren't dialed in properly you will be depressed and not be able to bond with people properly to form long term mutually beneficial relationships. What makes you think you have bad inner game? Can you elaborate and we can flesh it out. One of the fastest ways to solve inner game is to do a loving kindess meditation. I did it once and changed my life If you love yourself, the women you engage with and overall any human you're in conflict with that will already solve 80% of your inner game from just adopting the right paradigm right off the bat.

It's quite common for couples to hire an escort for threesomes since most of them don't know how to pick up women out and about. I think the fun would come from hanging out with your girl and trying to pick up single bi women in the wild but for more inexperienced people the escort threesome option still adds some spice to their love life. @Inliytened1 I hadn't but I looked it up. The US is pretty backwards, the most overly sexualized society on earth built on a puritan backbone. They should legalize and regulate prostitution and weird cases like this wouldn't pop up. It's why I think OnlyFans is a clear proof of societal progress unlike what most people say about it. It empowers individuals to provide a clear service to the marketplace and makes the whole thing regulated, taxed and reduces abuse of sex workers by a lot. Also the Andrew Tate trafficking case should hopefully bring light to the strange coercive ways pimps trap women into sex work against their will and take advantage of them.

Society hates people that don't offer value. Being good looking is just one of the many ways to be valuable to other humans. That's where the trope of the fat girls giving the best blow jobs or ugly dudes being really funny come from. You can afford to be ugly but you can't afford to not offer value.

I don't think the term or even the idea of placing one's self above the masses is that problematic. I think if you the ambition to rise up that's one thing but it should come with integrity. In classical Athens, they had the concept of the liturgy where if you accumulated immense wealth and status, society placed a massive, direct burden of competence and civic duty onto you. You were expected to personally fund warships, maintain infrastructure, and finance public institutions out of your own pocket. Status was tied directly to how much societal weight you could bear. That part of status I feel is earned and balanced. We have today and there always were the upper class that is purely parasitic and leashes value from the population without providing much in return. If he is the type of prince to pop out kids and leave them to fend for themselves I assume he is in the latter camp.

I find it really cringe for parents to forsake their children like this. Can you imagine being a prince and still being a deadbeat dad? So common too; straight up out of game of thrones.

Watched Star Wars III the revenge of the sith a few days ago. Hadn't watched it for like 20 years, forgot how sad of a movie it is. Pretty epic seeing the rise of the galactic empire and how its plotted into existence. I would rate it 8/10 Watched this one Admiral 2015 last night, it's about a few real life conflicts in the 17th century that revolve around the Netherlands and how they impact the main character in the movie Michiel de Rutyer and a famous politican of that time Johan de Witt who gets murdered by an angry mob during times of economic uncertainty and parts of are eaten and taken as trophies when he was just a few years earlier very popular. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Michiel_de_Ruyter https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johan_de_Witt That one is a bit slower but since it teaches you about history as well I'll give it some leeway. I'll rate it 7.5/10

I liked reading this, it was a high quality intellectual diss. I'm here for it.

Just had a pretty big breakthrough Turns out I can self-publish a manga with Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing and get them printed for $4.50 per unit. I didn't realize it would be this cheap, that's pretty insane. The math turns out I can sell each volume of the manga for Canada: $14.99 CAD Profit = $4.45 CAD United States: $11.99 USD Profit = $3.79 USD Pretty damn good. My idea is to release release daily short form content as top of funnel, middle of funnel post manga chapters online on like Webtoon and GlobalComix and then bottom of funnel have people order the actual books and join my discord/actual site when I make one. This would be phase 1 of the release of the IP. Goal is to build the initial fanbase and test the cashflow model. Phase 1 will include the first 3 seasons of the Anime and the first 6 volumes of the manga. I didn't realize getting a manga printed was so cheap, that's really a game changer. Releasing 1 chapter a week that'll be about 8 chapters every 2 month and I wanna hit 8-10 chapters per volume. Starting to release them in October 2026 that will take 12 months to complete phase 1. At that point the goal will be to start recruiting a team to build the first game and to deliver a playable experience for the IP. I think starting with the manga makes a lot of sense for storytelling and getting the audience hooked then the playable experience and TCG will be the next steps of the IP to release in phase 2. The reel I posted today on the Instagram got 500 views so we're starting to get some traction! https://www.instagram.com/reel/DchccULJNwS/

Seems like it was from an avalance or a glacier melting? Seems pretty wild, some 2012 movie apocalypse shit
