I totally agree with you. Masturbation is excellent for a man's mental health. Porn is not.

Tycho is awesome but the tickets were cheap because he's an underground artist. If you see someone more popular, the cheapest seats are going to be in $100+ range basically by default nowadays.

I disagree. I'd rather judge someone by their peak than their average.

I'm not a liar. I sat there for a few minutes trying to get the best time I could. And the time I posted is legit.

Yes and no. Most of the info I know about meditation is from Leo, so if you asked me this back in 2018 I would've said it's not BS because it seemed like he believed meditation could easily lead to Awakening back then. Over the years though, Leo's opinion has shifted to the point where normal meditation alone doesn't seem like it'll ever be enough to make a dent. Not to say you shouldn't do it at all, some is better than nothing but now it seems like unless you do regular meditation retreats or at least multiple hours a day minimum in combination with other methods it won't make enough of an impact. @Leo Gura Is this accurate?

Vibes are good in general. Political arguments won't follow you everywhere you go, if you're worried about that. Basically, if you don't personally bring up politics, you'll never have to talk about it in your daily life. If you do, all I can say is, be careful! Democrats and Republicans are basically radicalized into cults now and its very difficult to have a reasonable debate about anything, especially with strangers.

Ironically, this only happens to me in short lived relationships (a year or less). My long term relationships are pretty steady, with the occasional new project or hangout idea to shake things up every few months.

Not true. Anime is still as great as its ever been. Demon Slayer (2019) is a generational anime, especially the Mugen Train film (2020). That's peak cinema! Plus My Hero Academia (2016), Cyberpunk Edgerunners (2022), not to mention the the 3rd and 4th seasons of Attack on Titan (2019 to 2023)

@Majed Is pickup the only method you're using to find a girlfriend?

Keep it going! You're onto something profound here.

First of all, LMFAO Secondly, I agree that Grok is where the real fun begins with AI chat. ChatGPT was like the PG, safe prototype. Grok is the uncensored, smarter and fully actualized model, and it's going to change everything.

Friends are very important in my opinion. You need people to ground and support you when you're having issues and/or everyone else has abandoned you. You also don't even need 6 friends. One true friend is enough (or one true friend group), trust me. Edit: For the record, I have 3 true friends, and I consider this the greatest blessing in my life.
