The Russian propaganda on this forum is just too much… I have to find something better to do with my life.

A good life in North Korea? If you haven’t done so already, read or listen to people who have visited that country talk about what it was like. Does it sound tempting to walk around starving all day and when you finally get food it’s thin soup with dog meat, with the dog fat dangling from the spoon, and you almost gag just from the smell? The fact that there is a 10 cm difference in height between North and South Koreans says quite a lot about nutrition in the North.

I think I can hear Abraham Maslow turning in his grave.

There are actually immigrants here in the West spreading Russian propaganda, portraying the so-called «denazification» in Ukraine, as the Russians themselves call it, as being the fault of the West and its imperialism. Russia, which btw covers about 11% of the world’s land area (since we’re talking about imperialism), and its disinformation warfare in Ukraine, which has been going on since at least 2004, was of course just self-defense. The Russians are just ordinary, kind, uncorrupt, honest and not the least eastern people who would actually never dream of attacking other countries in these modern times. That’s something only the evil, evil West does… Absolutely shameless.

So Trump and Hegseth apparently don’t even agree on whether they want regime change in Iran or not... To everyone affected by this: Relax. Clearly, we’re dealing with a higher form of competent leadership that knows exactly what it’s doing.

That movie kind of saved my life once. I’d argue it’s very healthy orange in that case!

Makes sense that the social aspect is becoming more and more dominant, with the recent AI boom and all.

Another problem with dating these days is that men and women have less and less in common. In the past, people watched the same TV shows and movies and read the same news to a much greater extent. Now, people are on social media and are exposed to much more personalized content. This leads to bigger differences in interests and views between men and women, which is reflected in the fact that Gen Z men and women have very different political views. I’m speculating a bit here, but I personally think mean world syndrome is a pretty underrated problem as well. With increasingly digital lives, we are exposed through news and media to more of the worst and most negative aspects of humanity and, because of algorithms, often the worst aspects of the other gender. Since men commit the majority of violence and almost all rapes worldwide, it’s not a positive development for us dating-wise.

It may be your best episode actually. At least for me. I’ve had amazing results with those techniques. I did them every day for six to seven months straight, three years ago. After a while, it felt like I had developed a superpower. Funny comments would just come to me instantly in different situations. Some of the best experiences I’ve had in life. Last year, I noticed that humor was slowly disappearing from my life, so I decided to start doing the techniques again. This time, I only had to do them for one month to experience truly life-transforming results. Thank you so much for that video!

Yeah, pretty disappointed, myself. I’m surprised by how much the Russell Brand avatar made me giggle…

Now, that definitely sounds like him 🤣 Good to hear!

Awesome!

Warning: Metal

I actually hope you don’t get banned like last time, @StarStruck. With all your misogyny and racism, you serve as a perfect negative role model on this forum.

Yeah, now I get what you mean. Someone mentioned the episode of The last of us with the gay couple in another thread. That too is a great example.
