What is certain is that Preety India has been deceiving and wasting the time of many people on this forum for years, and with far less suspicious accounts that I would never have thought were her. Even her husband turned out to be just her duplicate account... She could be just about anyone here. This has ruined the forum quite a bit for me and I feel it's my duty to speak up if I suspect someone of being her.

You really became active here shortly after this profile was banned: https://www.actualized.org/forum/profile/8397-tyler-robinson/ You have been about as active as her, which probably makes you the most active here together with Leo. You also change your avatar pretty often, just like her, and there are almost no others on the forum who do that. There are also similarities in your writing styles. It could be that you are a very unfortunate victim of coincidence, but I find that hard to believe unfortunately. I would need some real evidence for that to be convinced. Preety India has deceived and wasted the time of so many on this forum, and she is probably still doing so with x number of duplicate accounts, so here it’s better to be too cynical than the opposite.

I was exaggerating a bit. I think temperature would be a little problematic no matter where I lived. It doesn't take much before I get really hot and sweaty either. I also love snow in the winter.

10 Even though I'm freezing my ass off most of the year!

I don't get how people can enjoy shows like Succession. I had to quit after a few episodes because I wanted all the characters to die slow and painful deaths.

I definitely agree with this. Spiral Dynamics may be the most interesting discovery in my lifetime, and I find it really spot on, but nothing makes me cringe more than when I see people say that this or that person is a certain color. Every single instinct in me tells me that this is not the way to go.

I'm living proof that money doesn't make you sexually attractive at all. I'm from a rich family, but pretty much the only attention I've ever gotten from women has been on dating apps, and there's nothing in my profiles that screams rich. Now, rich men are often attractive, but that's because they also often have status, attractive personality or looks.

I see. Interesting! I don't think I've ever hated a character in a book as much. It's been a while since I read The Game, but I remember him as a really sociopathic creep.

I find Owen Cook’s popularity pretty incredible. Don’t people know he’s Tyler Durden from The Game?

Yeah, and it's completely coincidental that you prioritize understanding for Russia, right? Could just as well have been Ukraine? Or maybe Israel?

Russia - the country of military aggression, corruption, authoritarianism, desinformation, undermining of democracies, mafia, political assassinations, doping and cheating in sports. Feeling the need to spend a lot of time defending such a country, says a lot about your priorities. Not surprisingly, you can see the same guys defending Trump and MAGA. Some people just want to watch The West burn.

And Hezbollah. Such a fascinating country!

Nearly all his posts are filled with junk from social media, so I wouldn’t rule it out completely.

If it looks like a duck, walks like a duck and quacks like a duck etc.

It’s not like I need it every time I socialize. I only need it for the first date specifically. But yeah, it doesn’t feel too good, and I don’t recommend autism at all. It makes socializing a living hell.

I second this. I’m autistic and dating is basically impossible for me without alcohol. I've tried with and without enough times to know.

People who are pro-Palestine really aren’t doing themselves or the Palestinians any favors by defending Russia…

How on Earth did you not see this coming?

Couldn't agree more. I find the majority of advice in this area quite absurd. It's so focused on you acting as cool as possible. Isn't there an almost sacred rule that the cooler you try to be, the less cool you become? The only thing that's ever worked for me is being myself. If I go on a date with some agenda that I should behave in a certain way, it will be a failed date at least nine times out of ten.

Bullshit. Back when I was in my pickup phase, my wingman was a tall, white, good-looking extrovert — but he didn’t have much more success with women than I did, which wasn’t exactly anything to brag about! Even when you do have a few valid points, they’re completely overshadowed by how ridiculously you exaggerate everything, and you’re just making a fool of yourself. Please stop, for your own sake.

🤣

Now that I've turned 30 and still haven't managed to create any new lasting friendships as an adult, it's really time to start working on getting new friends and preferably a whole new large social circle. If there's anyone here who has succeeded with this, I would love to hear about your experiences!

In my experience, even friends you have little to nothing in common with are a blessing. I tried living without the friends I have now and it became completely unbearably lonely in the end, and I'm a mega-introvert. Thank you!

Tell me about it! Nearly all my friends are fathers now. Like lack of common interests weren't bad enough...

That shouldn't be too problematic to achieve. You're young, funny and intelligent!
