the andrew tate thing was interesting. i think that's part of their purpose to weaken the left. if voices like tate run around, it makes it harder for the left to fight back and gets the alt-right a stronger voice

trump running it down mid

the next paradigm relative to the current one (evolution essentially) for example, addressing issues that come with climate change and making initiatives to switch to clean energy. society was focused on industrial advancement, at the cost of the environment, and then 'woke' would be noticing the issues of that and addressing it

i get the same thing. strange how it works. socializing feels like eating food. i faintly remember studies that show that loneliness is actually deadlier than smoking in the long-run?

Musk Says He’ll Rehire DOGE’s Marko Elez After Racist Posts https://www.forbes.com/sites/mollybohannon/2025/02/07/musk-says-hell-rehire-doges-marko-elez-after-racist-posts-heres-what-to-know-about-agency/ one of his employees made extremely racist comments about indians which went viral. he resigned after the news and musk rehired him. some comments "Normalize indian hate", supported repealing the civil rights movement, eugenics, and more

@LambdaDelta yeah and adding onto this i found that using mindfulness and cbt techniques very valuable. they help ease the mind in social situations. i've also noticed though that there are many modalities that can help, so doesn't necessarily need to be mindfulness/cbt on top of this also i noticed that self-esteem work can be important too, as sometimes we may have some negative inner beliefs that affect our social competence. so those definitely need to be challenged and replaced. having good self-esteem can actually aid in your comfort in social situations also consider the ethics and "goodness" aspect of socializing. like having integrity, being good, having EQ and empathy. social skills is actually a huge topic. i find it very interesting how large it is

in investing, diversifying your portfolio is also an important principle

@RendHeaven thats a good point. studies at the end of the day measure averages, still i feel this this idea should be implemented strategically, it does come with a lot of risks to give up socialization

I could see socializing sometimes getting in the way of pursuing certain goals. But even then relationships can help in those domains, which would require high levels of social skills I also think socializing is tied to biology, harvard's longest study found that relationships were the #1 source of happiness

is this a real comment lol

i'd definietely keep that passion for learning but put it toward things that will help you something practical that will benefit you for example learning advanced calc would be valuable for students wanting to be a professor or specialized stem fields whereas learning real estate might help you be more financially secure in the long-term

I don't pay. And if I do it's very cheap like a coffee or something. I'm not a fan of traditional gender norms really so if a girl didn't get that i don't think we'd be a fit Never ran into an issue yet Most girls do expect guys to fulfill the role though so there's that. But if you set the vibe early, and explain it casually beforehand most girls are chill about it

Swap the skin colors and see how it sounds > How are you going to tell me what I fear is racist. If I say I fear a black man with a suitcase and a trench coat in an elevator. It just a fear Sounds classic redneck 😭. No hate just saying 😅
