Makes sense, if you're satisfied now then more power to you. Just be careful with trying pure repression, usually that seems to backfire on people.

So the guy was given a high position in the Trump Administration overseeing millions of children or did we go back to a rational timeline yet? Edit: Even better looks like this guy was funding a 97 year old spiritual guru who's now an international fugitive Swami Prakashanand Saraswati https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prakashanand_Saraswati

Did you watch Revenge of the Sith? That's the best one that ties up the whole story. It's so sad I was genuinely shook and had to take a walk afterwards to clear my mind. Such a tragic love story. The gladiator scene from Attack of the clones is so good I think the prequels set up the intensity of the emotions for the original movies. Without them you don't really understand who Darth Vader is as a person and how the Jedi's foolishness failed him. He literally went to Master Yoda in Revenge of the Sith and told him he was scared and getting visions of a loved one dying and Yoda told him that he was good and he should be happy that they are dying, they will be one with the force now! Doesn't seem that he was very happy when thousands of Jedi died and were made one with the force after Order 66 what a hypocritical arrogant little prick that caused the whole conflict of the show. The Jedi remind me of the concept of spiritual bypassing, they try to act holier than thou and above the world but it hurts a lot of people and ultimately causes their downfall. It relates to what we were talking about yesterday on the sadism topic. Vader was in such pain that he wanted the whole universe to feel his pain. In the canon his suit was made to continuously torture him so his rage never faded. It's truly a deep romantic tragedy, I've thought about burning the whole world down before if the woman I loved died. I'll have to rewatch the originals again as well but from what I remember they were a bit bland and don't they repeat the plot of blowing up the death star twice? Check out Ahsoka, it's really good and season 2 is dropping early 2027! I watched episode 1 so far it was quite good. I enjoyed seeing the character of Obi-Wan completely losing his confidence as a jedi and abandoning the other Jedi who then gets hanged. It'll be cool to see how he comes back to full strength and duels Vader as I already saw clips of that on Youtube. Gonna checkout the Acolyte next before finishing Kenobi, it's a prequel and explores the dark side more which I find fascinating.

@Emerald Curious what your thoughts on private marriages are in this case. If a man wanted to marry you and do the whole ring ritual and ceremony with family and friends thing but not have it officially registered through the government; would that be a dealbreaker for you or fine?

What would you say the problem is then?

I had this insight one day when I went to get coffee and my roommate walked the other way to go and buy weed. I guess that's how life works and how human history unfolds? People taking different paths and then reconvening to tell ourselves how it turned out. Coffee walk is nice, there are usually cute girls walking around the lake it's a good heavenly area by Toronto Harbourfront. If you go the other way to get weed you have to walk by the highwalk and it's noisy but it's also cool to see cars go past you in high speed. A lot of homeless people by that dispensary, it's a bit sad to see but also gives you insight into the unfortunate economic situation our society is currently under. I'm sad I had to move away from there. I was too much of a brokie and I had to take another job elsewhere. I will level up my business to the point where I can live anywhere I want to in the next few years. I swear it.

Who's your favorite character from those movies? You didn't end up enjoying the prequel movies?

Yes, that's fair I was never addicted that badly. How come you don't get into pickup? If you know you can meet women to fuck semi-consistently then porn becomes less of an attractive product. If you're a virgin or have a low body count and you don't know how to hookup with women then of course you're gonna pedestalize sex and watching other people have it is gonna become one of the highlights of your life. I used to have this routine when I was depressed where I would wake up, go out walk by the lake and get a coffee, then smoke some weed, watch youtube videos for intellectual stimulation then watch porn when I got bored and take a nap. I would repeat this 2-3 times a day until tomorrow came and would burn days without doing anything but still having more or less a good time. I got out of it well because literally I was gonna get evicted and stopped having enough money to pay rent and my roommate had to cover for me a couple of times and the shame got too much so I stopped coping and got on top of my shit. Are your parents funding your lifestyle? That's an extremely tricky situation that I see a few men fall into and without survival pressure there is really no big pressing need to stop the loop of coping and self-destruction.

I mean yes it literally is? You have to be competent in many areas of life to make such things happen. You need a comfortable space for people to feel good about letting their sexuality out. You need to be able to find and attract multiple people that are down to have group sex. You need to understand their psychologies and insecurities to be able to do it repeatedly without the polycule collapsing. You need to have a pretty high level of career and business development to hold the whole thing together financially. Most people don't understand that their dating life relies upon many other systems in their life that seem unrelated at first. For example stress tolerance and the ability to deal with problems under pressure will reduce your likelihood of divorce. It's not immediately obvious why mastering emotional intelligence and understanding the wheel of emotions would lead to a better sex life but it's clearly related. It's a long distance relationship? How come you haven't met women locally in your city?

I see you went for the stage beige level reply

Just finished watching this, it was a really high quality deep breakdown of Deedra Meero from Andor and why she is obsessed with control like she is. He also breaks down the psychology of Thrawn and the toxic workplace culture of the Empire. Worth a watch!

Feel free to lay out your argument if you believe it has merit. I've already debunked it thoroughly, or so I thought. If polyamory is not for you then that's fine but some of the claims you made around it are demonstrably false.

How exactly is this causing you to suffer? I got a girlfriend and slept with dozens of women while still watching porn daily at times. I think in general not accomplishing your goals will make you miserable, blaming porn as a scapegoat for all your life's failures is inaccurate in my experience and a weird fixation of the NoFap crowd. I've tried going off of it for 75 days was my longest streak and I was happy I could prove to myself I could quit but I didn't notice any significant difference in my day-to-day life. I was promised boundless energy and laser-sharp discipline by the NoFap crowd but I think it was about neutral for my work ethic since it made me jittery and anxious without an easy way to release that stress.

You ended up getting a girlfriend? That's sick tell us about that. I put that business on pause for the moment to recenter myself and recreate my life purpose from scratch but I do still believe in it. There are good photographers in every city. Every single person should try hiring one a few times. Your online image and presentation is the difference being between a random irrelevant dude and being known by thousands of women and being able to go on dates like a conveyor belt. It's the equivalent to us being on actualized.org a global platform instead of hanging out with our local meditation hippie group. Each person that has ambition should become a global institution. Last time I went to Europe I was 13 years old and obsessed with playing Pokemon Black on the 3DS. Next time I go I will similarly be having a lot of fun but it will be a co-op game played in a hot tub this time.
