  1. Nope. I'm Swiss (french speaking part).
  2. I got curious.
  3. Clyeton Bigsby West 2025 is gonna bankrupt the onion.
  4. 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.
  5. 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.
  6. 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!
  7. 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.
  8. 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.
  9. Death penalty increases murder rates in a society. https://deathpenaltyinfo.org/policy-issues/policy/deterrence https://www.amnesty.org/fr/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/act500062008en.pdf
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. Na. I love you. But that's kinda the same thing.
  13. 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.
  14. Beauty can draw attention, but attention in itself is not inherently fulfilling. In fact, it often comes with significant downsides—unwanted attraction, projections, envy, and lust—all of which are far removed from genuine appreciation and love. Having been surrounded by exceptionally beautiful women since my teenage years, I’ve seen firsthand the perks that beauty can bring. But I’ve also learned that it’s not enough to sustain meaningful, fulfilling relationships. Beauty is fleeting, and without the deeper foundation of a person’s character and essence, it offers little to build upon. Ultimately, beauty is a double-edged sword—captivating yet impermanent, alluring yet insufficient for the kind of connection that truly lasts. Both men and women often chase physical beauty, driven partly by shadow motivations—seeking beauty as a substitute for being loved—and by our predominantly Stage Orange culture. In this culture, external validation and societal beauty standards influence our self-esteem far more than necessary. Beauty is ultimately a matter of perception and extends far beyond the merely physical. Men are naturally attracted to feminine beauty, but with maturity, the depth of what beauty means transcends the physical. It becomes about more than just an impeccable exterior. What could I do out of someone who is absolutely gorgeous, masculine, and all of that if he can't meet my depths? Be a foolish clown? Or see the beauty in the more subtle?
  15. Contempt and arrogance are big turns off for me. I like to be connected to people and find it hard to establish any meaningful contact in these circumstances.
  16. I’m stepping in because the discussion here seems to have been misrepresenting femininity, and I wanted to offer some clarity. I also disagree with the idea that we’re just survival machines. I believe we’re love machines—caught in survival mode because we’re still culturally unconscious. The end game, though, is to transcend the excesses of the survival mindset and return to love as our true nature. )
  17. A woman's attraction to a toxic bad boy stem from the suppression of her own assertiveness. Toxic bad boys are pretty lame. Can't make a decent partner out of it. As per the nice guy... What's hiding behind that concept? I’ve had male friends who described themselves as 'nice guys,' but their behavior often revealed selfish underlying intentions and energy that felt off-putting. They were 'good partners' only in their own minds, not in reality. As per picking a potential mate... I want someone with whom I can grow and match my value. Not everyone would be compatible and it's a headache.
  18. Kiddos need their mum as much as their dad.
  19. What becomes problematic is using this reasoning to reduce men’s sole purpose to reproduction—just as Leo did with women. If that argument held up, the logical conclusion would be that the main purpose of both genders is reproduction. Yet, this is rarely said about men. The underlying implication is often that a man's purpose transcends reproduction, while women are reduced to the role of child-bearers. In some cases, this narrative is conveniently framed to allow men to prioritize their own ambitions while women are expected to sacrifice themselves—often in the name of love or an idealized version of the 'Madonna". Metaphysically speaking, the purpose of the Masculine isn’t simply to thrive and accomplish for itself like it's the Chad gender. Its deeper role is to love, honor, and protect the Feminine in its full expression. And in it's human form, it also means recognizing and valuing the Feminine beyond its reproductive role and checking out of its current naval gazing tendencies.
  20. Silly me, I should go autoimpregnante myself like a female python .
  21. It’s often said that women’s primary purpose is to have children, but doesn’t this overlook something essential? Both genders play complementary, symbiotic roles in reproduction—neither exists without the other in this process. If we were to follow that logic further, one could argue that men’s physical strength serves the sole purpose of protecting women and their offspring. Yet we know it’s far more nuanced than that. Framing women solely as ‘baby-makers’ not only diminishes our full humanity and capacities to do other things but also implies that men alone hold inherent value, existing for themselves while women are reduced to accessories in the act of creation. The second, subservient sex to the other one. The narrative that women exist primarily for motherhood or are the second sex to men is outdated and does not reflect reality. There are countless women who are exceptionally competent, accomplished, and articulate, contributing meaningfully to society (and this include this forum) in ways that go far beyond this role.
  22. I don't know about a frog prince, but I've got a turtle prince for youuuuuu. 🎵🎵Damn, he is a sexy Mitch. A sexy Mitch. Damn he is a sexy Mitch. 🎵🎵 And Trump is still missing so far, am I not right? Lucky youuu. Also, any chance you were that infamous demon who attacked Tucker Carlson? -- I am having constantly weird dreams lately. And they can turn pretty easily into lucid dreaming. Last time I was exploring a very trippy dream, which contained lots of archetypical symbols and in which I woke up, knowing it was an epic dream that would be perfect for some analysis. And what was super crazy, is that not only during this dream I woke up and turned it lucid, but I transformed the lucid dreaming into some sort of no-self awakening. Second time that this happens to me. Anyway, while this was happening, while I was dreaming I felt clearly that the dreaming mind was looking for homeostasis. And there might be even several layer of homeostasis being looked for. And one of it might be the search for the unconsicious to heal into non-duality too, if it makes sense. I just think the act of sex symbolize merging with what you still haven't made peace with in the relative world and is symbolized by these right wing chads. I share your analysis that you are longing for reintegration and what you dislike outside is disliked inside. End goal is discerning what actuality is made of without judgement and without any sort of repulsion for the ignorance that ends up harming out of innocence and trauma. I do think that the conscious repulsion you've got for these men might be a key element there.Maybe it's even more about you than it is about them. Somewhat making love to your masculine based repressed shame?
  23. Here is what GPT says about it: The idea that everything we do is for love is a philosophical and psychological perspective that reflects the belief that, at a deeper level, all human actions are motivated by the desire for love, connection, and acceptance. This doesn't necessarily mean romantic or familial love in the conventional sense, but a broader notion of love as the driving force behind our desires, intentions, and choices. Here's a deeper look into this concept: Love as a Fundamental Human Need: Psychologists such as Abraham Maslow in his hierarchy of needs identified love and belonging as fundamental to human well-being. We seek love in various forms—whether through social connections, approval, or self-love—because it gives us a sense of purpose and fulfillment. Even actions that may appear self-serving, such as acquiring wealth or power, can often be traced back to the desire for love or validation. Love as a Source of Meaning: Many philosophers and spiritual teachers, including Carl Jung and Eckhart Tolle, argue that love is not only a fundamental force but also a key to personal growth and meaning. When we seek truth, knowledge, or success, we often do so with the intention of improving our lives and the lives of others, which is ultimately tied to our desire for deeper connection and love. Motivations for Action: Even in difficult or painful circumstances, when people act out of fear, anger, or frustration, it's often a reflection of unmet needs for love, safety, or acceptance. For example, when someone acts aggressively or defensively, it may stem from a lack of love or the fear of losing love and connection, whether that be through fear of abandonment, rejection, or isolation. The Desire for Unconditional Love: Some philosophical and spiritual teachings suggest that every action, whether consciously or unconsciously, can be seen as an attempt to return to a state of pure, unconditional love—whether that's love for oneself, for others, or even a deeper connection to the universe. In essence, this view asserts that the pursuit of love, in all its forms, is a central, underlying force that drives human actions. -- We don't do stuff primarily for survival. Survival is what happens when we are feeling disconnected from Love.
