I think we just came up with the apex of the witch: the scientific witch. A true superior witch would not be satisfied with hoping or feeling that her spell would work. She would try it over and over again until it's mastered and as reliable as a lighter. Does such a witch exist? I think perhaps and if you're one reading this you should DM me I'll show you some magic as well

Have you watched Ahsoka? It's pretty good, season 2 is gonna start in January. Baylan Skoll is looking for the origin of the force on Peridea, it's about to get pretty spiritual my man. He's kind of a dickhead for leaving his apprentice behind so I hope he doesn't find it but hey, we'll see what happens.

I think road rage is a common one that sneaks up on people. It removes the fear of confrontation from regular life and also you're at the head of a 5000 lbs weapon so it's common for people's built up anger to rear its head.

To double back on this though, I believe in witches. Most witches are bad witches just like anything else. Plenty of people throughout history have made prophecies that came true. If you've had mystical experiences you will agree that reality is pretty wild so it's not really that crazy of a concept. We'd have to deconstruct exactly which claims of witchcraft is more plausible than others though. One thing is for certain though. A man who truly wants to experience what life has to offer, if he encounters a horny witch he has to fuck. Any man who would run away from such an opportunity because of fear of the unknown has lost my respect. This is why I don't respect religious men, they are too scared of so many things. They definitely wouldn't fuck witch. More for me.

You will very plausibly be able to play your own life as a video game in the next 20 years. They are getting pretty close to being able to decode memories in neuroscience. Neural decoding using fMRI and electrophysiology combined with deep learning (like diffusion models and LLMs) can already reconstruct rough video clips, continuous language, or imagery of what a subject is actively seeing, hearing, or imagining in real time while in a scanner. Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic. - Arthur Clarke

Is this something that you're planning to transition out of to have more of an impact on life or are you satisfied with this state of living?

Give me one good witch and we're taking over the world. Give me 2 and we're going for multiversal domination baby. I watched the first episode of The Originals and stopped there, I found the writing pretty bad. I'm very sensitive to cheesy lines and lazy tropes, makes the show feel cheap to me.

Not with flying broomsticks but they research occultism and cast spells. Whether you believe the spells work or not up to you. If you believe the universe is not solely bound by the laws of physics then why not. There are men who become witches too, they're not actually called wizards that's just in media, they call themselves witches as well. My buddy had a girlfriend who said she was a witch. She gave me some good advice that turned out to work, I'll leave it at that.

Holy shit I knew you were a novice too. Regular women are not witches lol There are actual witches out there.

This is clearly a novice answer. I'm going with the boys and seeing how life turns out with 2 witch girlfriends. What you're not considering @Inliytened1 is that the witches are on your side, they will teach you some magic too. You might be able to now get 15 regular girlfriends on top of your 2 witch girlfriends. Play chess not checkers Also obviously don't be a fool and date the first witch you see. You must make sure she is of stable mental health and doesn't seek to end humanity or enslave mankind. The question kind of takes care of that though, if she's your girlfriend she must at least like you somewhat otherwise what is she, a low self-esteem witch?

I think we should do some real science here and talk about high level concepts instead of getting lost in the weeds. What's better 3 regular girlfriends or 2 witch girlfriends?

I watched End Game with Thanos but I never was big into Marvel so I didn't really understand the plot. Studying it in depth is making me appreciate it so much better. It's the epitome of comic book writing, film adaptation and business strategy all put into one great masterpiece. Looking forward to watching more of the MCU and watching Doomsday in December! Who are your favorite Marvel characters and why? I like Spiderman and Tony Stark the best so far. Tony is a good guy billionaire and Spiderman is almost a regular guy just tryna help.

@Raze That's recency bias. Women have faced backlash from other women for commercializing and displaying their sexuality for over a century, long before woke discourse existed. Look at the public moral panic around early Hollywood screen sirens in the 1920s, pin-up models in the 1940s, or Marilyn Monroe in the 1950s. The outrage wasn't coming from modern progressive activists. It was driven by female peers and conservative women's leagues claiming they were degrading womanhood and setting terrible examples. The political rhetoric always morphs to fit the era, but the biological baseline stays the same. The crowd will always find a convenient moral justification to police an individual woman who converts high-tier sexual capital directly into unilateral leverage. Perhaps Sydney is getting a bit more outrage for her last promo shoot with American Eagle but I think the underlying psychological phenomena of women being more collectivist than men is a real documented phenomenon.

Fuck you got me right in the ego, if you put my authority in your points I can't really discredit it. I think you're onto something here. I think we can make it even better by moving #4 to #1, now we've got an optimized strategy! If you host a cool event #2 becomes a lot more nuanced and you can make the girls come directly to you. A lot of men's dating problems come from not offering much value to women. Guys should get some dating under their belts so they understand what they want and then work on themselves so they have a lot to offer. Then it becomes shooting fish in a barrel and women's selectiveness starts working in your favour as they ignore the losers to give you their attention instead. Sometimes a magician must reveal his secrets for the good of mankind

I don't know why he communicates this way on the forum. When we spoke on the phone, he came across far more thoughtful and grounded. It seems like he treats the forum as an outlet to impulsively vent and posture, which drags the quality of his communication down. When you step into a public leadership role on a platform dedicated to self-development, dropping to that level of communication does a disservice to the space IMO.

Lmao seems true That's a key insight to female and human nature as a whole. People really mostly care about what's good for them. Women are much more collective than men. Sydney Sweeney being a hot young actress using her sexuality to make money and build influence will piss a lot of women off whereas a woman that's getting ganged up on by the legal system will trigger their sympathy. Watch out for collective power, it's rarely in your favor if you see yourself as a high agency individual. Its also why this case is trending so far. Collective survival strategies are conflicting. Very few people are actually interested in psychiatry lol, it's a battle of groupthink.

I'm very excited for it. I'm rewatching all Avengers and other MCU movies to really appreciate the universe and the business model behind it. I'm working on my own media project so it's given me a new appreciation for how GOATs of the trade handle their work. The fact that the MCU has 40 movies in a coherent plot line is actually insane and for that they are well deserving of the $30+ billion that they've earned through their visual storytelling. I made a megathread for the Marvel Cinematic Universe, you're welcome to talk more about it on there!

I just rewatched Avengers 2012 to continue my Marvel deep dive. It's so fucking good I would easily rate it 8.5/10 Until you start writing plots and stories yourself, it's hard to appreciate how difficult it is to write a good story for all ages. They managed to make a plot about Gods and superheroes saving the world be not cringy. The writing is pretty top notch, usually these type of shows have really cringe lines or just weird cheezy tropes that ruin the 4th wall but they avoided it. I'm reminded in episode 1 of the Obi Wan show where mercenaries struggle to capture an 8 year old Leia Skywalker and you're instantly robbed of all feeling of danger and feeling that these are competent criminals and left wondering wtf you're doing with your life watching a kids show. The Avengers takes an even more ridiculous plot and through quality writing makes you forget that you're watching a Disney movie. I'll be writing a more in depth review in the Marvel thread and also my next reviews for the next MCU movies I'm watching. Next up on the list are Thor, Iron Man 3 and then finally Avengers : Age of Ultron!

That's the beauty of masculinity. Well focused, it performs much like a laser that's powerful enough to forge empires. Belligerent and uncalibrated, though, it's a dangerous inferno that you have to watch out for.

I think he has unmedicated ADHD and doesn't meditate. He doesn't seem to think much before he replies and says wild shit often. @something_else Makes sense in the scenario that AION has outlined though she's not coming over from Tinder. He's finally meeting her in person after talking to her online so going straight to shooting over your address is probably gonna be a bit jarring. @Monster Energy Thanks for the compliment, I'm not triggered though. I'm trying to make sense of what you're saying and give you the benefit of the doubt. Otherwise I think you're closer to belonging on an Incel forum over a consciousness and self-development based one.

My guy, you don't qualify to have any type of argument against me. You can barely post a few comments without saying some wildly uncalibrated shit. I think the best type of argument for you to have would be with a therapist. It will help you make sense of what's in your head and organize it in a productive way without posting some wild fantasy about kidnapping a female mod to get her to like you.

Novice reading skills. He didn't say the opportunity came up, he's wondering where to ask her to meet. I'm quite sure that asking to meet somewhere close to his place but not right there is a better move.

Just had a pretty huge breakthrough in terms of how I'm gonna develop the project. I've decided like 80% sure to make the first game a visual novel. It'll let me work on the worldbuilding of Legend of the Abyss which is my favorite thing to do while still developing a playable experience. The whole world conquest plot is a political thriller instead of being more of a mindless action story so I think it'll work beautifully as an multiple route investigative visual novel. I've written the outline of the campaign and when talking about it with Gemini it should take me about 1-2 months to have a playable version I can ship so my goal at the moment is to have a complete early access version I can put out on Steam in early December so I can have it commercially ready in time for the Steam Winter Sale. I called it the Sanguine Masquerade, stay tuned for more!

It's usually not a good move to invite a girl straight over unless you're a Tinder King and you've done it multiple times so you're smooth with it. Especially if you have rapport with her but no sexual tension, it's gonna feel uncalibrated to her like you don't care about the connection you've built and you just want a quick fuck. If downtown is 20 mins walking distance from your place then that's perfect, you can meet there, get a coffee/smoothie/bubble tea and walk in the direction of where you live and see how it goes. Otherwise it's also fine to meet somewhere decently far and just build attraction on the date, leave on a high note so she's left craving more so that next time she's down to come over and watch a movie and you seal the deal on the 2nd date.

You don't need to create weird hero fantasies where you rescue the damsel in distress for women to value your existence. That's already how life works. Most humans on earth are not doing great or even if they're managing they're bored out of their mind. Every day is a new opportunity to scale your power, influence, impact and thus increase your attractiveness to every woman on earth. Every day you don't do much is one more girl on my roster
