@Wijuu It would depend on that person's view of sex and sexuality, and at what stage values, cognition, moral frame work, personality type, state of consciousness and life experiences in specific (sexuality, intimate relationships, dating ect.) to other lines of development in one's life, which is also filtered through one's upbringing, culture, and repressed aspects of parts of one's psyche. Also, it depends on the body, and more importantly, what mind a person has. You can have a mind that's attention deficit disorder like, where focus is more scattered and wonders to a lot of topics and places, and have an episodic type of self image, with no consistent self image. Or you can have a mind which identifies strongly as one consistent entity.

These sound about right to me. I don't know how long the world would last if governments don't consider modifying lock down policies to lesser forms. The economy is gonna take a huge hit if we keep the same, hard lock down policies.

I predict Dr. k will avoid having a conversation with Mr. girl for a while, but eventually he will talk to him. I think while in the conversation, Dr. K will have a more defensive tone, not just because the guest in question is already has developed a reputation for being a bit suspect due to his misunderstood views on pedophilia, racism, and violence, but Mr. girl is gonna remind him of Reckful, which is likely to get Dr. K a bit defensive because it is likely a sensitive event for him. Now, to me, if Dr. K is a person of high integrity, he should accept the discussion, and manage himself with Mr. girl and show he can handle himself, because the less integrous thing to do, is to not do it because of fear and insecurity.

@Opo It's not like he should, but if he keeps avoiding talking to Mr. girl, it would also look suspicious on his side, despite interacting with Mr. girl, already a suspicious person as well from his way of speaking and being too honest and non partisan.

Just like the Vaush and Mr. girl discussion, the discussion between Mr. girl and dr. K might expose to us more of what Dr. K is really about, and wether or not he is trustworthy. Like Mr. girl, is the ultimate litmus test to a person's integrity whoever he talks to.

Is anyone here a straight A student before? I don't relate, so if someone here was a straight A student, could you please explain to me what that's like in your day to day, when grades were really important?

@Opo I think it might be interesting. Mr. girl said he's willing to not only talk, but press Dr. k on some of his takes. To me, both are similar in how they talk and think, but to me Mr. girl's upfront honesty an non-partisan way of communication would bring up a very interesting discussion.

Man, sometimes I feel like we must be as closely ruthless as the billionaires to tax them properly, and to not get too attached to paper money when trillionaires, billionaires, maybe millionaires wave you paper money to try to coerce and persuade to not get heavily taxed, in their view.

R.I.P. At least he's in a better place.

@MageTheOne Ah, another classic duality. Which came first: the creator, or the consumer? The value giver, or the value receiver? What fiction books are you reading at the moment? Which genre pulls you in strongly? How does your mind represent the immersion? How does the book effect your thinking, and emotional state? What stories do you write? Do you prefer pencil to paper, pen to paper, or typing using the computer? Have you also started stories (manuscripts, fanfiction ect.), but you tend to not complete them often? I don't find fiction books a waste of time, in fact I used to read them, and immerse myself deeply into the world and characters that sometimes I can roleplay as one, and feel what they're going through, and see from other perspectives. Usually from this state I sometimes have no choice but to write a story onto paper, otherwise my mind keeps spinning new ideas of how to mix this story with that story. It was a past hobby, and I sometimes took it serious that I would do research, look though many writer blogs, and learn hundreds of writing techniques, hundreds of ways to outline a story, plot and characters, that I ended up creating a very complex and detailed scripting/outline sheet that accounts for 95 % of the story, all key situations and character developments.

@Forza21 No, he literally mean YOU ARE GOD, but you magically forgot and bound yourself here as a human being, in a human story, in a finite world. On top of that, there's also infinity, or infinite intelligence/the GOD HEAD, operating behind the scenes if you will, which creates this author and co-author relationship between it and you, keeping reality as limited yet as fair as possible, while keeping the infinite imagination powers at check such that you don't screw billons of people in a blink of an eye, but too limiting either. That's how I intuit those two aspects to me. Anyways, another thread bites the dust.

Sounds about right. The quran is roughly one step forward to idealistic, but one step back to realism of it's time, because of it coming from a predominant stage purple/red culture and world, the spirituality it preaches has to be corrupted and coopted by the culture of it's time. It cannot go full on spirituality, without risking a huge backlash.

@gettoefl Yes, wake up clockwork orange style.

The good life.

Is anyone here a graphic designer, comic book artist? Freelance or working in a company? If there are, what are your experiences like? Am I the only one artist here?

@DieFree At least he's exiting now then later or never exiting university.

Stage blue/red at it's relative core.

@Mason Riggle Yes, I said that Donald Trump was indirectly inciting the mob to storm the cqpital. I don't disagree I said that, so whats your point you're making? That I'm not allowed to disagree/agree with myself?? Yes, there are laws against those that incite insurrection, sedition, and treason. I agree such laws exist. What are you trying to say? Yes, I agree with the definition. The only thing here I don't agree on, is that the definition isn't expansive enough to include all types of insurrection, sedition and treasons, such as violent, militarized coups/insurrection on one end of the spectrum, and the other the legal and behind the scenes, lobbyists types of sedition. Do you agree/disagree that insurrection exists in a spectrum, that insurrection isn't binary?

@Mason Riggle I don't know why you still misunderstand me. Read the below again. So where exactly do you agree or disagree with me here??? Is it about Donald Trump? I disagree with his role in being the president at the time, but I don't share and bask in the collective hatred towards him either. I also recognize that he is a manipulator Is it the sedition? I'll be back later, after I'm done with my life purpose.

@Arcangelo I get it's insensitive. Maybe he thinks it's you being arrogant about your reading.

@Arcangelo Oh ok, that's one example. By the way, are you ok with @Ivan Dimi accusing you of your claim that 'if somebody is dumb enough, then they deserve the consequences' being arrogant?

@Ivan Dimi @Arcangelo was replying to another user, not you, so I just found it odd you had to come in and point out his claim being stupid and ignorant, when it's between him and whoever he was responding to. And I'm asking you, to explain to me, what's so arrogant about his claim that if somebody is dumb enough, then they deserve the consequences? By what standard would you use, to determine if somebody is deserving of the consequences of them being dumb? What if they weren't dumb, but had incomplete information that they were working from? And don't expect the majority of people to be like Leo, always introspecting their positions to near fatalistic levels. Not everyone is taking skepticism to the nth degree and are aware all the time of their biases.

@Mason Riggle We'll agree to disagree then.

@Mason Riggle I think the January 6th insurrection, compared to other insurrection events historically, and in other areas of the world, extremely violent, bloody coups, where the mob is using open/conceal carry munitions and militia, that's an extreme and proper insurrection to me. That's my own personal view on a violent uprising, but I'll concede and include your view and expand on the possible forms of insurrections. And I'm not completely disagreeing on this issue with you, I do want those sedition charges to be passed against those involved directly and indirectly in the jan 6th insurrection for the duture. What I feel insecure about is if this can be later used against 'peaceful protests' when it's mostly non-violent in the future.

@Mason Riggle It makes it less of a crime. This is why we have the legal system, with different levels of charges and punishments, like first degree murder, second degree murder, third degree murder, premeditated murder, crime of passion ect. Plus, for every charge, we have different degrees of sentencing, 1 year, 5 years, 10-20 years plus probation, 25 to life with/without parole, death penalties ect. If we don't have these degrees, then using your analogy, if I carried out a bank robbery, the charges against me would be blanket and general, for every type of thief and how the theft is carried, instead of it being like first degree premeditated, or second degree by accomplice, or a crime of passion/opportunity, and considering what sentencing is appropriate, we don't have that, and instead we charge all thieves as only premeditated, or only give out life without parole/death penaties. We would have a huge problem. The main issue, is if I want to punish Donald Trump and his administration, the oath keepers and other groups in that event, and the sedition charges are not aligned with the Jan 6 insurrection, then I'm and my team are gonna have a serious uphill battle to try and lay charges against them. It's like if I'm a prosecutor and charging the bank robbers, but I'm going for life without parole/death penalty instead of carefully attacking the actual specifics of the crimes committed, the judge and juries might have more doubt in accepting my case, and the defense team would have more room to undermine my case as to severe a charge. However, if I pursue a lesser charge, or a charge that matches exactly the crime done, I can handle that situation. That's sort of what I meant, to not jump too quickly in calling an angry protest as insurrection, because those people would then call every violent protest, left or right, as attempted insurrections. Notice how that can swing back and be used against left protests as well. Another example, is the O. J. Simpson case, a different context, but look at how the specifics are mishandled. We ideally don't want that playing out.
