Let's settle the 'nice guy' debate once and for all.
Let's settle the 'nice guy' debate once and for all.Of course there are other factors besides leadership. But looks actually do correlate to leadership in a loose way. A tall masculine-looking guy is more easily accepted as a leader by others.
Don't get hung up on this stuff. Just work on what you can improve.

Being Financially Independent As a Condition To Receive Love
Being Financially Independent As a Condition To Receive LoveThat's such crap.
Girls don't care how much money you have when they decide to sleep with you.
If they don't care, you shouldn't care.
Do not link love with money. That is an insanely foolish thing to do.

Is it worth having children?
Is it worth having children?I have a girlfriend. I have known her since high school, and we recently got together.
One of the concerns I have is that she wants kids by age 35, and I am not so certain.
We both know that we don't want kids right now but she wants them later when her career has been established.
I, on the other hand, am still uncertain and unclear as to whether I want kids or not.
Kids are a huge responsibility and does not seem like something that is in my top 10 values.
But, on the other hand, I am not for sure if having children is something that I will want in the future or is something I would regret not doing.
I really love the woman I am with, but I can see that years down the road, this issue of having children will be the deciding factor of our relationship.
What are your alls thoughts on having children?
Are children helpful to self-actualization and spiritual awakening and doing serious philosophy?
I can imagine that having children would make it hard to be a Serious Philosopher.
What are your alls thoughts?

Trump is going to win the election
Trump is going to win the electionIf Trump was as Red as you say he is, he would be a lot more violent, like a Hitler or a Hamas leader.
Trump is relatively mild-mannered. He acts like a wannabe mob boss, but he is not nearly as ruthless as a true mob boss like Tony Soprano.
Trump is largely a toxic Orange conartist with some Red elements. Which is why he is not as dangerous as a Hitler. But he is still plenty dangerous to democracy.

I think pizza gets more hate than it deserves
I think pizza gets more hate than it deservesBoth are Pizzas...
But only one is a high quality product with traditional ingridients and minimal processing...
Only one is made of delicious hand-crafted sourdough, fresh tomatoes and organic "fior di latte"
Only one contains the high quality extra virgin olive oil that is full of antioxidants and polyphenols
One of them will make you feel amazing, the other one like shit

I think pizza gets more hate than it deserves
I think pizza gets more hate than it deservesWell, to start with, let's not compare e.g. Neapolitan style pizza with the typical grease bomb pizzas that seem to be the norm in most places.
American style pizza is much to cheezy and greasy for me.
Americans also seem to be addicted to adding sugar into foods, where I would find sugar strange.
We have different taste preferences.
The pizzas you find in the typical around-the-corner pizzerias in Sweden might be a little bit less unhealthy, depending on which pizza you buy, but still unhealthy.
Although Neapolitan style pizza is getting more and more popular, they are, from my experience, rather a Neapolitan hybrid than being pure Neapolitan style.
Traditional Neapolitan style pizza is a whole different deal and is quite healthy and doesn't have much cheeze, rather small islands of mozzarella cheeze, and light, airy and easily digestible bread. And especially so compared to these other pizza styles, and these franchises mentioned here.
Pizza is a much too wide of a concept to say all is bad, but undoubtedly the majority is pizza lean towards being the unhealthy kind and generally best avoided.
The amount of pizza of course matters. Most pizzas are much too much food, especially store bought.
There can be too much of a "good thing" as well, doesn't need to be pizza, to turn something healthy into unhealthy by consuming unhealthy amounts.
Why do we eat pizzas, might be more interesting to ask, ourselves. Do we buy it because we're too lazy to cook? Do we use it as comfort food, as a coping mecahnism, or do we feed some kind of addiction? And also why feel a need to defend eating pizzas, instead of just eating it, if we're confident that the version we do eat is on the healthier end of the pizza spectrum.

5-MeO-MALT Mega-ThreadThere are no gaurantees with psychedelics, but it is likely.
Just keep in mind that not all chems are equally suitable for you. Another chem may work better on you. Don't just blindly do MALT because I talked about it. It has to fit you. Just because it fit me doesn't mean it will fit you.

Elon Musk goes full MAGA
Elon Musk goes full MAGAIt is a very poor analysis from Musk haters.
The reality is that when you are a visionary creative and you pursue many ambitious projects, you will not deliver on all your goals and deadlines.
What Musk has been able to deliver on is extraordinary. And if you don't understand that, you are not serious.
CyberTruck is outselling Ford F150 electric.
Teslabot is just still in the prototyoe stages.
Neurolink is just in the prototype stages.
You need to really check your biases here.

Elon Musk goes full MAGABe careful. Many of those comments are fake bots funded by foreign governments and political propaganda groups to manipulate US elections.
Do not just blindly trust comments on social media. Many of them can be fakes, designed to manipulate you.

Approaching strangers feel like a crushing lift
Approaching strangers feel like a crushing liftI started head-on.
One of my first approaches was an opinion opener: "Hey, I need a quick female opinion. We want to buy my friend an iPhone for his birthday. Should we get a black or white one?"
It was stupid, but you gotta start somewhere.

Elon Musk goes full MAGA
Elon Musk goes full MAGANo. He genuinely loves his son. These things are not contradictory.
If you loved your son you would not want him to turn into a girl, because that threatens survival. Musk is not wrong on that. This trans stuff does go too far sometimes.

Elon Musk goes full MAGA
Elon Musk goes full MAGAI think Musk is gonna feel a lot of backlash for endorsing Trump so openly from his liberal and progressive friends and employees. Which is why he seems to be backing down. He might support Trump with dark money instead.
Most of Tesla's customers are liberals. So Musk is in a tough spot with his openly MAGA stance.

Approaching strangers feel like a crushing liftBy going out and forcing yourself to approach.
There is trick to it. Just do it.
Your state increases as you take action. Your state decreases from not taking action.

Police Cam Mega-Thread
Police Cam Mega-ThreadI know every well how corrupt the police can be. You don't understand police corruption until you've been to Russia. American police are saints relative to Russian police who will rape your girlfriend and kill your dog just for fun.
Yes, dealing with monsters tends to make you a monster. This is well-known from classic psychology experiments on prison guards. They start to abuse their power. Which is why they require oversight.
American police are pretty amazing when you consider them relative to other places on Earth. Things could be a lot worse. Corruption in America is very low relative to most places on Earth.
