I hope being president of the most powerful nation on Earth even just for a short time has given him the security he has been seeking his whole life. Becoming president on accident is pretty impressive.

Imagine being as deluded as a breadtuber thinking you're having an impact. Imagine thinking 45+ year old voters will suddenly conform to new views because of condescending 25 year olds yelling into a camera or making a 500 word blog post. Imagine being insufferable and edgy enough to use the Anarchy logo with gender symbols in it as your profile pic lol. Oh wait you don't.

Tim Pool, Sargon of Akkad, Dave Rubin, Stephan Molyneux, etc. all these people actually used to be considered Liberal 10 years ago, but they've all decided to hop off the wave of progressiveness at some point. Maybe the wave was too fast for them? Who knows. Anyways all they peddle now is hate, fear, and criticism. Notice how none of these guys actually ever offer any solutions or anything of value to the table. That should tell you something. They just sit around and bitch and moan all day about other people attempting to fix America, but don't actually offer any ideas of their own. Look at Paul Joseph Watson's channel. He's probably the most smug of them all. I used to follow his channel quite a bit I don't think I can recall a single moment where he was being positive or had genuine smile that was him being happy and not smiling because he was laughing at someone.

Statistically most men have pretty small dicks @Jaccobtw so don't feel like you're some kind of massive outlier. You're probably bigger than the 2 billion men in India, China, and the rest of Asia so that already puts you ahead of half of mankind. Instead just focus on the other ways you can make up for it. Become the best oral sex god she's ever had. Make her squirm harder than a snail with salt on it.

God stop cucking for Leo so hard before he gets your girlfriend pregnant. You know what I mean. He is facilitating a space for more of this nonsense, obviously only a ridiculously small % of people are going to use it in a pure way, so why insist on making a mudpit for pigs inside a mansion? I guess I shouldn't expect too much from idiot Americans. Nothing "wrong" with that. It's just; 1. Everyone here is already socialist/left leaning and voting consciously. Unless of course you have cognitive dissonance or a rebellious streak like some seem to have here. But they'll be referenced in point 3. 2. One vote is only ever one vote. No matter how loudly you scream about it or how often you talk about it. In the end all you end up doing is walking to the ballot box and checking a piece of paper. Everything else is diminishing returns. Why? See point 3. 3. You aren't going to change peoples mind or convince them to vote "socialist" or whatever way you might deem "proper" or "conscious". Especially not those people in the second half of point 1. People's minds are changed by either going through the suffering of having voted for the wrong thing, or through personal development (like what we should be doing here, not this) and realizing with enough growth that their political support should go towards policies and parties that represent peace and inclusivity. I guess I'll also add on that simply not everybody has time to shill for a party.

I don't think it will really be recognizable for some time. Perhaps in the moderate future of 25, 50, or 100 years from now we'll start to see glimpses of it? From my imagination I think it might come from humanity interfacing with technology in deeper and more interpersonal ways and to be embedded with machinery. Not just physically, but mentally too. I know this is a sciency way to look at it but maybe technology and spirituality might have a destiny to intertwine like Terence McKenna raved about with the digital singularity. Individuals might be able to literally transcend their physical forms in a way we can understand and observe and become "Gods" more or less. If it's used for the right reasons and not a pure egoic selfish power trip, of course. Always obstacles in the way of progress. This is when I think Coral will start to get really mapped out and become more tangible and clear. Does this help at all @FlowerNote?

What's your point? What do you want everyone to do, become political advocates?

Regardless of his opinions on this specifically, more broadly I think it's disappointing Leo has steered Actualized.Org in the directions of politics so damn heavily instead of remaining and going deeper on actual practical personal development. It's like nobody can help themselves these days as content creators but to shout their opinions if the platform is there. Perhaps a subtle marketing move to draw in more subscribers in a time when things like this are hard to ignore? Who knows. Anyways this domain is so toxic and monkey minded it would be wise to steer clear and leave it separate from the domain of spirituality and trying to live a good life, especially during these times when it serves as such an easy and deep distraction. Now he'll probably come in here and predictably say, "oh but it's very applicable to personal development, you are apart of a community you have an obligation to yada yada yada............." True, but that doesn't make my point any less true either. Politics are about the collective, we are here as individuals doing personal development. We are here to better ourselves to serve as beacons of light in the world. If I want to read or hear about fucking politics I can go to one of the other 10 million channels that exist. I have higher expectations for this place and I'm sure others do to.

That sounds incredibly frustrating and emotionally difficult. Sorry if you suffered through any form of that at all. Puts things in perspective for sure. I'm a white male in a first world country, born into a lower-middle class family. I've literally never had to deal with any discrimination or significant issues in my life, I thought about this a while ago after I went to a BLM rally at a park in my city. I reflected for a few days after that. I actually can't think of a time I have ever had to deal with remarks or attitudes based upon my attributes. It's all pure luck.

I wouldn't want to if I was forced either. I imagine arranged marriages sours the taste for the institution in the eyes of most women (and men as well). It's really amazing when you think about the fact India has ended up with the highest population in the world despite the fact most of the parents didn't really want to be together in the first place. My knowledge of this culture is pretty narrow though. What is your take as someone from there @Preety_India?

Humanity is progressing at exactly the pace it needs to.

Show her that you really don't give a fuck when other men look at her. I mean ice cold detachment. The only thing you should be doing is showing her with YOUR eyes that YOU dig her. Additionally compliment her on her bodily qualities and outfits. It's the insecurity and the fact you might bring it up with her that she should be more modest that could plant the idea in her head of, "Oh he thinks I'm a whore because of my outfit, and that he can control me and tell me what to do! Well fuck him now I want to flirt with other guys, or cheat if he becomes too much of a dick." Guess what happens if she does fulfill that? Nothing, you can't control what she does. You just walk and move on to the next girl.

If you want to do what I've always done, be blunt. If you're not an assertive person it can be hard. But just straight up saying your busy (true or not) works if they ask you to go out, or come over, or whatever. Probably but I wouldn't recommend it. Keep your head straight. Fuck buddy relationships rarely last longer than a month or two in my experience. One of the persons involved will ALWAYS catch feelings. It seems to be some kind of law of the universe. I guess two narcissistic sociopaths could probably pull it off. Just be honest about your intentions. Explicitly say you aren't looking for anything right now, and when they try to convince you just keep it up. People don't usually get the message the first time.

Well alternatively you could try doing a form of "pick-up" for making platonic male and female friends to fill that void in you. Instead of the relationships which typically are "given" to you or just happen because of family or co-workers being in your life. Go out of your way to create new relationships in your life. It's this kind of effort that will help remedy what you're feeling.

Have you sat with that neediness feeling before and really looked at it? Do you know what it is, where it came from, and where it started?

Practicing "pick-up" and trying to get with other women when you're married is cheating. So unless you want to divorce and strand your child you can't do this. Do you just want to get better at TALKING to other women? What's your goal exactly?

We are living in the peak age of materialism, gluttony, and hedonism. This is the perfect example of it. It's flashy, but ultimately hollow. Don't get sucked into it. This kind of thing doesn't facilitate or lead to happiness. I mean if you're really that interested you can try it. By all means go ahead. Just don't be surprised by the results.

Ben isn't a malicious sociopath. He just lacks the imagination to view things from the perspective of someone struggling. He has the silly Libertarian view that everything can be chalked up to personal choice regardless of the environment one is in. It just comes from a place of obvious bias because he's probably never had to overcome any significant obstacles in his life, therefore he never developed the ability to truly identify or understand them. He has traveled a lot for his work but it has been from a nested and privileged position. I highly doubt he's actually spent time in a truly impoverished area or talked directly and personally to really unfortunate people without a camera tainting the conversation. He just lacks life experience and it shows.

What do you mean specifically "the people are going to stop him"? Are you suggesting we have security guards outside every public restroom like some sort of bathroom police that will need proof of someones transition? Or vigilante justice? I'm a JP fan. I own every one of his books. I used the language because it was pertinent. Don't be so eager to jump to put me in a box with every leftist position because of a disagreement on a single issue. This is exactly why discussion doesn't get anywhere these days with everything being so polarized. You say "anybody" but you don't really mean that. What you really mean is yourself. And you know it. Don't worry I don't need to convince you just the people on the sidelines who get to see the stupidity exposed and then come to their own conclusions.

I'm Canadian. I haven't ever voted for Justin Trudeau but I'm happy he's our PM during this time. There has been competent and decisive leadership during this pandemic. There may be a lot of things you can pick at him for like any politician he is no angel, but you can't deny he at least with him and his party there is a positive vision for this country with some integrity behind it. Canada would have been fucked with Andrew Scheer and the Conservatives in power right now.

lol *facedesk* A sign on the door, no matter WHAT it says about who is aloud in or not isn't going to be the straw that breaks the camels back. A malicious predator that wants to go into a bathroom to spy on some women or some kids isn't going to stop to have a moral reflection on what some sign says and if they should enter or not, so the content of what the symbols represent is irrelevant. They are going to completely ignore it and commit the crime regardless, because they are way past the point of such considerations. It's these kind of idiotic and semantic conservative talking points masqueraded as "morality" that just needlessly puts up roadblocks to marginalized groups of people getting the rights they need to feel equal in society. It's the same kind of dumb fuck arguments that are made to support criminalizing drug use and other obvious liberties people should have.

So sad seeing so many of these videos of people praying and begging not to die before anything even escalates.

It's the opposite dude, men do that. Women may have initial impressions, but an ugly troll a women wouldn't fuck at first sight could have a kick ass personality that makes her emotionally high will change her mind. Men are shallower and won't fuck someone less attractive than them with a great personality. Unless they are desperate.

My girlfriend and I split the costs of everything evenly at the end of every month. We decide together if there should be any discrepancies or if certain things are gifts. Anytime she wants to argue about the costs I remind her she's a feminist so if she wants equality this is what it means LOL. Anyways no not anymore. I think guys being the designated provider is now an antiquated stupid way of viewing the world. Couples should get decide together independently based off of their own incomes and roles they want to fill of who is the primary provider, if there even is one. Without any external social or cultural pressures about how men "should" make more money. This is a sexist idea that is thankfully finally dying.

Yes most girls do like assholes, because they don't know what's good for them. They are naive, hopeful romantics. Fortunately most usually wise up later on though after years of being abused and treated like trash. The really sad sight is seeing older women in their 30's, 40's who drift from place to place in the world, usually with a child at their side. Never ever get in a relationship with a single mother by the way, under any circumstances. There is never a larger possible red flag than someone with a kid. It means either their overall judgment is absolutely terrible (choosing an awful partner who left them with a kid), or it means they themselves were so awful a great partner left lol.
