Such nonsense. -

This has been answered so many times before. The problem is fundamentally that you're looking at it from a human POV that is trying to avoid suffering. -

You didn’t ask for it, but it needs to be said. Because the premise of what you’re asking for is questionable at best. The assumption is that better conversation can be had by outlining more linear steps. But conversation is non-linear and open looped. Steps are beneficial when you have a specific outcome in mind. Like making a sale. When you’re talking with your girlfriend or family during dinner, you don’t need steps. Steps would just get in the way and make it feel forced.

The point of good conversation is you don't know where it's going to go.

It's not stereotypically feminine.

My dude, we are going to need a bubble for you to live in soon.

Depends on the girl you pick. Many will absolutely want those activities. But not all of them, and not all to the same degree. At the same time, If you're in a relationship you're going to be spending your time together doing something. She's not just going to sit there and watch you play video games all day. So you need at least some activities.

It definitely is not the highest. -
That distinction does exist, but it's usually not made in practice. For most people, criticism = hatred. Because in order to see criticism as not hatred, you have to see the criticism as valid. If there are valid critiques of feminism that are not equivalent to hatred, then what are they?

This is a self-sealing belief though. It assumes all pushback against feminism is actually due to misogyny, which therefore justifies feminism. She might as well have wrote: "all critiques of my position are wrong because my position is right". Feminism, like any ideology, has its problems and is not above critique.

I'm contemplating Leo's latest post on his struggles with disillusionment. To what degree is it possible to simply be satisfied with being conscious while living as a human? This is the question.

What's the difference between when you're asleep and right now? -

No, sickness does nothing for my consciousness. At best it forces you to slow down. But even there, the sickness is not causing the increase in consciousness. Slowing down is.
