  1. Its complicated, and that's a flaw not a feature. at least in consumers' eyes. You've seen those "Linux users installing a web browser" memes? running commands vs clicking an icon to open a program, there's a clear winner. wisemen say... Linux is free, if you don't value your time. the m1 macbook is great, I admit. but the m2 air, not as much edit: I shouldn't hold strong opinions until its released but that's my prediction
  2. how do I do that? any videos planned on work ethic?
  3. I haven't studied internet marketing at all but I'm aware of dark UX design/patterns as it's hard to miss because it always causes such inconveniences. The most recent one I've seen is Google ads in Play store applications. The "x" button for skip AD is extremely tiny, it's most certainly intentional. Anyone who has played an AD supported game on mobile knows exactly what I'm talking about. It's their intention that bothers me, people complained and made memes about it but they still kept it tiny. In fact they made it worse.
  4. Can't say anything about that
  5. Quality food is cheaper than Quality protein powder, I tried Vivo. overrated. just buy some organic Lentils and you're set.
  6. What about Tesla's non-existent marketing? They don't really market and yet people keep buying their products anyway. Would you consider that devilry as well? Or perhaps a step up from the usual marketing ways? If I'm presented with an AD for a product, lets say a laptop. and everything about it is presented to me truthfully, is that still devilry? no exaggeration, no lies. still devilry? and lastly, Is there a point in trying to avoid being a devil? since that is literally our nature as ego's/living beings
  7. Linux has the most potential of course, If linux become as popular as windows, It'd be a win for the entire human race. Open source brings so much things to the table. and for that reason I've got no respect for neither Windows or MacOS, both steaming with backdoors Microsoft/Apple built in themselves. that being said I'd never use Linux in its current state, right now... it sucks. For me the question Is usually up to the computer instead of the OS, I'm mostly into laptops, but they're extremely expensive M-series macbooks have great battery life, but don't be fooled. you're not getting much performance per dollar, you are... however getting great performance per watt. in other words Windows laptops are still superior in terms of performance, and cost just as much as the macbooks. p.s don't buy the new m2 macbook air/pro, that thing sucks. My laptop recommendations are either the M1 Macbook for students or a Thinkpad if you want an amazing keyboard. or just about any Windows laptop if you're after performance.
  8. a gun in japan...? Japanese people probably don't even know how to give CPR, the crime rate is so shockingly low they barely have doctors for it. by the way, the reason "dissatisfied with Abe and wanted to kill him." the most Japanese thing I've ever heard. always perplexes the shit out of Westerners. the crazy thing is, there's a chance that's the actual reason, just dissatisfied the the ex prime minister, wanted to kill him and that's all Hopes he's alright, a shooting in Japan makes me super pessimistic.
  9. Damn bro you either got mad cake or no cake at all (my guess: Skinny guy so leaning towards brain more than body, interested in this work, apparently a recovering weed addict, forum moderator, life is counter intuitive so you're the puffer) Is it true that Scandinavian days are extremely long during the summer? Balkan gossip
  10. Mike Tyson licked a damn toad. frog is suing now, accused him of sexual abuse. Apparently they're gonna go extinct if ppl keep milking them, those damn Colorado frogs need to watch Leo's get how to get laid videos. with psychedelics you're either a) hunting the froggers b) growing the shoomers c) chemistry d) digging through horse shit (personal favorite, jk) e) good old brown powder dye
  11. Quora lol, idea 10, execution 0 Shit management by both the company and the community take a peak at their political views, its bottom of society shit. Can't help with consciousness though, when I sleep with my gf I don't dream about sucking my own dick (joke)
  12. We should just get rid of cars, they're not hippy enough
  13. He's alright I guess, I don't listen to him much these days. I feel like that's where people start in this work, with mainstream guys like JP. I don't like his victim mindset content, shit like "If you don't have a dad, you're 60% less likely to be successful at everything" literally implying that someone without a dad is half as capable as someone with a dad, or "Success scales with IQ" etc...
  14. - This is my 3/4th time doing shamanic breathwork Today I revisited shamanic breathing for a couple of reasons (I'll get into that later) Physical effects we're the same: Vibrating skin, contracted eyes and mouth (that's the best I can describe it, It's a physical reaction similar to biting into a lemon, only without the sour taste), after a while my whole body was tingling, this is the order in which it spread: Teeth->Eyes->Cheeks->Upper part of the skull, it also started in the fingers and worked it's way up my arms, later on it started in the toes and worked its up to my balls which felt... weird. But not discouraging. I felt really thirsty and hungry after, even though I ate and hydrated before I did it. What lead me to do it today I didn't really have a goal going into this one, I've been looking into making psychedelics since Vacation is near (perfect time to do it) I saw news about a youtuber who I used to watch as a kid, Dead at 23 years old - Cancer. I was perplexed, couldn't believe my eyes... It reminded me of something. We're always so close to death, death is here, death is now. these frail bodies of ours won't last forever. a quote (by Steve Jobs) popped into my mind "You are already naked, there is no reason not to follow your heart". I'm naked, aka I don't have anything. Nothing is mine. Because life is rented to me by the universe. I am a real estate tenant and the universe is my landlord. I have the freedom to do anything I want and exit (die) through the same door when I'm done. ^ That ultimately let me to doing it again The aftermath Even though the trigger to doing this again was Death, I didn't think about death while doing it. Every time I did it, shamanic breathing always gave me a confidence boost for a little while. First, my bad memories surfaced up (as they usually do with breathwork) but its always a different topic, this time It was about self-doubt, I realized how I was lowkey doubting myself all the time, I realized that I am unlimited and that I am creativity, it wasn't nonduality but.. It was saying that I can, as an ego. I can be happy, I can be independent, I can run a business, I can live a purposeful life, I can have friends and I can have a girlfriend. the whole thing was centered around healing this doubt within me, saying that I can't have a great life. It made me aware of the stupid pressure my family was putting on me, If you want to have a great life you will need to work on everything, right now I am career focused and I'm leaving all the relationship stuff for later, that is my choice. I'm now aware that I (as well as everyone else) will have to put significant time into these important areas, and one way to do that Is to focus on one at a time. My friends choose to Party first and then (hopefully) work on their careers, that's their choice. they choose Immature relationships to build up experience first. and that's fine. My last "trip" was a lot more emotional, It centered around abuse. I actually cried during that "trip". an ongoing pattern here is that my mind always picks a topic for me and then brings up memories related to that topic. And that's shamanic breathing for you
  15. @Average Investor Noted, You don't use shampoo at all? They all have the same effect
  16. Somebody get Scandinavian politicians over to America, they're about to die over there Why is US always so fucked, People like Trump are border-line modern Nazis (joke)
  17. Interesting Looks like you are 0.035% german
  18. As a guy, I've very excited to try this. So who did you first sleep with? with a psychedelic
  19. Where did he say that? link?
  20. I get the irony, I'm asking you how to ask myself questions. I'm gonna try to figure it out on my own but I would appreciate any advice you could give me if you engage or have engaged in contemplating before. When I tried contemplating today I found myself questioning the meaning of words that make up my answers / conclusions. What happened: I tried contemplating "what is work ethic" but after trying to contemplate it I realized that I don't know what "work" really means, so then I tried contemplating "what is work" and a feasible answer came by: its emotional or physical labour. But then I realized I don't know what the true meaning of labour is. And so it's leading me into a rabbit hole of questions. I wonder if this rabbit hole approach is the correct way to do it, basically I'm qustioning the meaning of words that make up my answers. But then again it's not like the rabbit hole is infinite, there will probably be a point where I know the meaning of something without contemplating it at all, for example "physical" or "emotional", I don't have to question that...
  21. I've been 55Kg for a long ass time, I'm quite positive this is how I'm standing with my calorie intake 1. I probably eat around 1000 calories everyday 2. I rarely ever ever 1500 3. I never eat 2000 4. I don't think I've ever eaten 3000 In my entire life A BMI calculator is literally telling me to eat 2500 (mild weight gain) to 3260 (fast weight gain), that's totally insane... My theory is that if I've been able to maintain this weight eating between 1000 to 1500 a day, I should be able to eat only 2000 to enter a calorie surplus. Your thoughts?
  22. living in America is sort of irrational. If your only goal in life was to survive, America would be at the bottom of your list. But it's still a great country, probably the most social country I've seen.
  23. Today I felt like letting all of this out I'm usually never depressed, in fact I beat depression years ago and haven't felt that bad ever since, normal things like woman, death of loved ones and addiction don't usually effect me as much as they do others. As a kid I didn't give two f*cks about my congnitive abilities and over all function, but now I do. I drown my self in sadness, guilt and shame when I make a mistake, especially if it's a mistake I recently made twice or more times. I Hate being dumb and I look up to characters and people who are extremely smart. I love watching FBI investigations and their insane deductions. I find it hard to be confident in my knowledge and facts even when they are extremely obvious things that I can clearly remember. If I saw a red car outside of my house and you come in asking "hey who's yellow car is that" you'd make me question my existence no problem. It gets even worse when others notice my stupidity and call me up on it. In school I was viewed as the stupidest kid, which is probably what caused my insecurity in the first place, and I wasn't just dumb socially I was dumb on paper, I'd have easier tests than others because my teachers tought that I wasn't as capable as others, I also remember my mom taking me to various speech and conginitve testing institutions as kid, you know those IQ tests that peope usually do online for fun? Yeah I had to do those... but not for fun... it would literally be stuff like... "okay Marko can you build a pyramid shape out of these blocks?" And I'd just look at the examiner with perplexion thinking- "wow... that's what she asked me? they actually think that I'm this stupid" I don't know how and where people get tested for autism, but I'd like to try. In those testing intuitions I was sitting next to obviously disabled children. I never thought about it much, but now as an adult it's coming back to me. I want better memory, better attention, better concentration/focus, more mastery of a specific field to the level where I can lecture others, more money (although not a priority just a basic survival need), and most importantly more creativity, independence and a happier life than everyone else. Of course I'm only stupid compared to other people, I'm smarter than a monkey and that's probably why I'll have a better life than a monkey, I want to have a better life than most humans as well. People like Jordan Peterson claiming that IQ is strongly related to success and jobs really aren't helping, but I guess he's speaking the truth. Even though it's painfull for me to admit it. It's the fucking academics man, they want me dead. If I can just be 10x more creative than everyone else, I wouldn't mind being dumber (as much). When I think "genius" I think "creativity" not "IQ" although it's hard to measure creativity and it's hard to realize when you're actually being creative. From my experience most creative people are crazy, I don't listen to his music but kanye west is a good example. Its a silly goal but if you've seen death note (the series) you'd know of characters L, Light and Near. That's how smart I want to be ? top notch FBI investigator level smart. I usually write stuff like this all the time and delete it without posting because I don't see a point in asking or admitting something like this, but I'll force myself to post this one. Whatever becomes of this thread, it doesnt matter. All I know is that... I think I'm dumb and I want to be smarter. Fourtenetly I'm not ashamed of asking people questions and seeking help, I guess thats something. Sorry for the typos. I won't be reviewing this as I usually do, it's making me feel sick. EDIT: I feel better after writing this, made me take my mind off things
