I think the issue when it comes to having kids with someone with mental illness is that people with mental illness have significantly worse expected outcomes in life. And that inevitably represents a risk when it comes to the outcomes that your kids will experience. Both in terms of their ability as a parent, and in terms of the genes they pass down. I say that as someone who deals with serious mental health issues. Its not fair but it is a reality.

Jheez

LOL

Bro come on. That claim is so universal that even a single exception disproves it. One example is Griselda Blanco. She was a Colombian drug lord, and being a Colombian drug lord is all about power.

I hope they have good cybersecurity for these. Imagine a hacker programs them to steal your stuff and put you in an armbar

@HopefulMan What is your career/ job, relationship (platonic/ romantic), exercise, diet, health situation like too? No pressure to say. But these things all help too.

Not sure i have any specific resources on it. I'd recommend listening to a therapist in regards to it. This one long but i like the content creator:

Bro I'd look into dissociation too

Hey mate, very sorry to hear you had to endure such terrible abuse. I respect your determination to address the consequences that have stemmed from it. I'd recommend looking into the diagnosis of CPTSD. (Sorta occurs when you've had repeated relational traumas) Here is a useful resource too: http://integralguide.com/ I don't know too much about treating CPTSD through psychedelics, but it seems risky to me. But CPTSD treatment seems still in its infancy, so its hard to say what exactly works that well. I'm committed to IFS therapy for treating my CPTSD but I've had too few results with it to give it a confident recommendation anymore. Tho it may be more an issue of how im applying it. IFS is a very open minded therapy tho. If you wanna go the therapy route there are probs therapists out there who work with cptsd clients that take psychedelics too, and help them integrate.

I appreciate your positivity on this forum, Natasha.

Dang the Iranian leader got GGd day one

@Majed Maybe there is some spiritual truth to suicide and spirituality. But I'd argue using spirituality as a justification for suicide is just an egoic rationalisation for the act.

I liked the podcast I think its good to remember that quite a few of us have been watching Leo for years. Whereas the podcasters haven't probably watched much of Leo at all. So, what might seem surface level actualized.org to us, is quite intense for them. Is like playing a new video game for the first time lol

Guys come on. Our ragebait/ troll detectors have to be better than this lol

You made a universal claim. I pointed out an exception that showed your universal claim was false.

I get your point about scaling, and stalkers. But I don't get how sleeping with as many women with possible is something wrong to do. Look if someone is decieving a girl into thinking they are looking for something more than they are, then yeah that isn't right. But as long as there is consent and no abuse/ manipulation, then i don't see the issue. Also, a woman can just not sleep around with dudes, if they find casual sex demeaning. Consensual casual sex takes two to tango.

I'd say this is more true of pick up influencer culture, rather than all who partake in pick up.

This made me giggle Ahahahaha

It ain't about just being an artist. Its about attaining rare & valuable skills as an artist. You think Christopher Nolan has to worry about his rent?

@Something Funny Bro i fully get you. I say focus on 'doing the next best thing'. If you can't find a life passion, focus on finding an interesting career, if you can't find an interesting career, find at least a career. Even just having a career will discipline you, and help you hone the craft of getting good at something. Then if you find a life calling you will be much more skilled at the getting good process.

Latest blog post about LGBTQ characters and the need for great writing is so true. Prime example of this is the last of us episode with the gay couple. That was an example of excellent writing and production involving an LGBTQ character. Like I even remember right wing conservatives expressing appreciation for the episode.

Agreed

Feminism isn't all negatives. There are various positives. For example, more equal opportunities for women than in previous generation.

I like tik tok lives and video games lol

My Hero Academia, cos i watched it with some bros of mine
