A forum can be a great tool but it needs to be built on accountability and high-level discourse otherwise it's at best just chit-chat but realistically it will devolve into everyone's egos and shadows coping in their favored ways. I called out @Hojo quite harshly on some inappropriate comments he left in another thread about a month ago and he hasn't been back since. I have been reflecting on it since then wondering if I went too far but I concluded that no, it was a necessary check. A certain standard must be held if we want to keep improving otherwise we will stagnate or worse.

I think it's worth giving extroverts a chance. Some people are honestly dumb and literally low IQ and not capable nor have the interest in entertaining deep ideas and its a fundamental incompatibility. Some extroverts are more nuanced than that and value depth in the right time with the right people and will see your ability to connect ideas and expand on them as an attractive superpower that they don't really have. That's especially why I like fields like media and business so much because going deep in them gives you so much ROI. A lot of introverts go deep on useless topics that don't yield much results for their life and I'm left wondering if its not mostly a function of escapism and avoiding the harder sides of life as opposed to a genuine unique interest in whatever they're into. It's worth analyzing one's self and getting to the bottom of it for sure. Competence is universally attractive because it solves problems for anyone. That's why most of the richest people in the world are introverts because they go deep on problems and actually fix them instead of jumping around.

Carney's team is making some pretty big blunders though. An analysis of their recent negotiations strategy only leave them at a 68/100 68% was not an acceptable grade for me growing up in my household and it certainly is not for a head of state. Above a 90 is mandatory or you're not doing the job right.

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.
