It depends on each person. I’d say it lasts until you’re psychologically aligned enough to stop chasing and projecting a repressed anima onto women who aren’t truly a great fit— which would systematically lead to relationships that feel like an ordeal and ultimately leave you unfulfilled. The priority should be to deal with your own baggage. Even then, it’s likely you’ll still learn through trial and error. Some people never break out of this cycle. Your anima is your wife.

If critical thinking was their forte, they wouldn't be Republicans. They are masters at self-deception, and easily turn on anything that isn't conform to the party line. -

Yeah. Basically, there is a need for a totally new military strategy. Can't comment on what it would entail because all I could do is Dunning-Krugering with my level of ignorance at what the current game would look like. It's just so beyond the scope of what the average citizen can fathom cause defense is so interdisciplinary, and that is even more true if you add on top of it all the top secret knowledge etc. Yesterday, I was sitting on a lecture of AI and data protection, and was contemplating how much danger the current situation we were in represented. And it's just ONE aspect of modern warfare. That said, I think it is safe to say that Charles de Gaulle is the reason why the EU has got just enough dissuasive power not to be potentially mercilessly gobbled up at the first tantrum. Without France's arsenal, we'd be all absolutely hopelessly cooked. Canadians are currently shaking because they actually don't hold nuke themselves. The US look and talk to them like a thirsty rapist that is angry at hearing "no". Gross times! -

Trump is admirative of Putin and vibes with him more than he does with EU liberal democracies. The wish of Ukraine to be part of that block is of no interest to him. Beside, he is salty Danemark won't give them Greenland and that France and Germany told him they would respond to a military invasion. Also, Vance's message in Munich was clear - he wants to turn the continent into the same facist kakistocracy as what we are seeing currently in the US. They operate like a mafia who found out a working marketing formula to seize power, and want to export it there too. The lunatic gaslighting talking points about how the EU has shitty free speech rules were nothing but a request for us to let them spread their zombie turning desinformation propaganda to start seizing more effectively power here. The EU tonight is in a terrible position. Two huninged autocrate bullies to deal with, that want to undermine it's structure and are a direct menace to its autonomy. The issue being that the EU is not fully independent and is more akin to an american semi-protectorate. From a hard power perspective, the US has half a foot within. Multiple strategic attack vector that can't be repelled because the EU has been blindly counting on the EU/US allieship (or perhaps to be more accurate, being strategically corrupted by 80 years of US expensionist imperialism). Now it's all over the continent shocked pikachu face at the realization that this lack of boundaries might turn sour. Until last year, you'd have been laughed at for even mentioning the danger of this position. Russia... Where to start? I am not even sure what to say about it. Not to get into the minutia of its politics, it can be summed up as a dystopian nation with a non stop track record of horrible autocratic governement/adminisations mishandling its population. The constant feedback I got from my russian buddies is "we are never going back there". It's a stage red/blue country and all european nations that have a border with it compares it with the Wall in GOT lol. The others are relieved that there is a buffer country in between that have to deal with them. In either case, the current US administration and Russia operate through the same paradigm. Can defend yourself? No? So you are mine to exploit til oblivion. Don't get me wrong. European nations are also exploitative both internationally and domestically. It's just that they are after what was guarantying a minimum of human right decency and this alone is really worth preserving. -

I also had no idea before, but this is what is taught in a lot of criminology course in law schools using scientific reasoning and studies. I eventually got convinced and never looked back. I would be happy to share the main ideas/points behind that in a further post if you are interested in reading and assessing the arguments made. I just need to dig it up as I don't have everything in mind right now. -

That's probably why we can see the gargantuan red elephant with multicolor dots in the room while you're struggling. I’d suggest you hop on the bandwagon, but I’m worried you'd take my joke literally with this level of discernment. -

You're absolutely entitled not to want to date someone who doesn't align with or resonate with your political preferences. There’s no guilt in that. Personally, if I were living in Florida, I’d probably take a strong stance—no dating, no marriage, no children with Trump supporters. My ideals of masculinity are so far removed from the world they want to create that I know I wouldn't enjoy being in a romantic relationship with any of them. For me, romantic relationships are also about some kind of admiration/satisfaction. I want to be with a man whose daily actions, or at least his intentions, contribute to preserving harmony, social cohesion, and progress. When it comes to significant friendships, I also need to feel like they’re at least somewhat socially conscious. Core values need to match for quality relationships. Whenever I meet someone, if I don't get this kind of informations through observation, I ask very early on what's their perspective like on key, very revealing matters. If I find out they are not aligned, I'll give them my most beautiful slow fade and low interest vibe for them to understand that I'm not much into that connection. The hard one is when you get tricked by finding out months after when you are already emotionally involved. I would avoid this at all cost. Nowadays I've gotten wiser and I'm finally in the zone where I spot red flags and green flags. For instance, I've cleared my social medias and follow 90% of emotionally intelligent men to remind me what the standard should be. The other ones can go kick rocks and circle jerk in their conditioning pool until they find the light. -
Na. I love you. But that's kinda the same thing.

Hahaha. Yeah, they'll tell you one day that beauty (here synonymous with good looks) doesn't matter for a man, and the next day complain that Chad with his square jaw stole all the good girls.
