Depending where youre from it can be not 'normal' in the sense that it is heavily stigmatized to be gay. You're open to public judgement, disapproval, losing friends, family, job opportunities etc. It can be a dominating, culture wide perspective It's normal in the sense that it's a normal human emotion to feel (same as straight feelings) But conservative, religious countries put strong negative judgements around a normal, human thing which keep many people in the closet hiding their sexuality, having (often unconscious) repressed sexual feelings, and exploring their sexuality

Being gay is normal bro, it's just that stigma prevents people from being open about it or even accepting it in themselves Check out this video if you haven't seen it

Oh that's fucked At least it'll work itself out in the long run

When girls decide who they want they probably have like a lot more criteria than just mutual interests It might not be that they think they're better than you always but im sure that happens 🤔 I'm sure many women do date off status tho

Was it not before? What did you want to say that you couldn't tweet before

Musk used to be a liberal for the most part. I think he got a lot of hate from the left for some things and it caused him to go to the right. Which was honestly sad af. Musks influence is huge

@Emerald I think in terms of attraction its more about conventionally masculine qualities – confidence, leadership, assertiveness, humor etc. it's the same with women too. If a girl is assertive, outspoken, aggressive (even ambitious too), it doesn't always fit the classic 'feminine' image. But I think that's changing tho I don't think girls (generally) dislike being kind, empathetic, sensitive etc. But it doesn't have the sexual attractive pull of what they're looking for in a 'man' If ur speaking non generally it doesn't matter, theres someone for everyone

@Princess Arabia I'd have to respectfully disagree, i think men and women generally go through different challenges and there are certain challenges that many men face that women don't face (and vice versa) Like getting sex or dates, can take quite some effort for the average guy. It's not in simple abundance like it is for many women. Like men generally will almost never have women hit on them, reach out, approach them, dm them etc. It happens but it's rare. Men also have to put 3-5x more effort in a dating profile to get even an okay amount of matches That being said, its a reality but it's easily solved with a bit of effort

Fair. That's meta

Yeah I think a reframe is important here. To an extent it's similar to job hunting. There's gonna be a lot of rejecting and you need a good frame around it. I just see it as part of the process. It's to be expected that only 1-5% of jobs will consider you Lol I think this dovetails nicely with the post on trauma someone made a few days ago here. Like one person might get traumatized from a rejection and another sees 1 rejection just as another number out of x

This what you're advocating for? > In recent years, the Chinese Communist Party under Xi Jinping Administration's policy has been marked by much harsher policies, including mass surveillance and the incarceration without trial of over one million Uyghurs and other Muslim minority ethnic groups in internment camps... government policies have included forced labor, suppression of Uyghur religious practices, political indoctrination, forced sterilization, forced contraception, and forced abortion https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Xinjiang_conflict#:~:text=In recent years%2C the Chinese,ethnic groups in internment camps.

Like if you keep talking to yourself in a desired way, can you certain inner voice that becomes a habit ? It seems very possible Like just like you talk to others, you can take that energy and do it to yourself I think you can create literally the way you fucking speak to yourself 💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡💡🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯🤯

6/19; the problem with hierarchies and tier lists is that they are so subjective and lacking nuance like top characters in a video game? sometimes i see heros that are F tier be rated lowly even though they have niche potential, some people work well on those heros cuz of personal strengths, and you can generally take any hero to high levels with good effort and skill. and sometimes they are false i wonder how much nuance maslow's hierarchy misses because of the way the model is structured i think information inherently might be lacking in nuance or something and in mad cases is subjective or some shit

It's not evolutionary advantageous, but I guess you could say there's are many things humans do that are not evolutionary advantageous

I think because most content is actually optimized for like clicks, engagement It's not fully geared for how can I have the best impact for the viewer

50% have 0?? Damn now for the individual you could say that's a good thing, as your competition is quite ass lol

I feel like mild trauma or pain from an incident is good because it helps you learn lessons Like if your bike breaks down due to a chain issue, you feel pain and buy quality chains from that point forward But I guess that's diff Very interesting question though. I'm perplexed

@CARDOZZO yep lol.. there's some news he's coming back now

The business was going crazy, #1 fastest growing startup of all time The business was a non profit initially so I think they wanted to slow down development to prioritize safety over profits Or Iono just guessing lol I also feel like features are gonna roll out super fuckin slowly now

@Twentyfirst a possibility, but also in a lot of places outside the West, people often don't really acknowledge mental illness. Like, even if someone's dealing with depression, it's kind of brushed off or delegitimized. It's like mental health just isn't seen as a real thing in many cultures (even the most developed eastern countries like korea + japan it's taboo and in the rest of the eastern world it's significantly worse) this was actually common in america too. like the movement that made mental health issues socially acceptable here started like 15 years ago. id say that plays a big part in it, as people are much more open, honest and educated about it here

i feel it's not the words persay, but just whether the judgement is there. but yeah great points tho it's a part of contemplation from leos videos. letting the insight about something arise from observation rather than ego

Fwbs are always great. Glad u found someone you like

@Lila9 are you as concerned about anti-muslim sentiment as antisemitism? How have you opposed anti-Muslim sentiment in ur life?

@Buck Edwards She said something like islamophobia is rational (relative to antisemitism) because of Muslim terrorists in a diff thread

It's a nice experience but at the same time I think there are many awesome life experiences to have outside of that That is one of societies version of happiness, there's many ways to find happiness outside of that And if u wanted that, u could still do that as well. Making friends, travelling, partying. There's lots of social groups that part after college and stuff, that scene is still there. Ravers, bar goers, people that throw house parties. Tbh that scene is huge Slowly (or quickly if you'd like) put your time effort and attention to those things that you want. They're in your reach
