@Breakingthewall I don't think anyone is wrong about everything. Even a broken clock is right twice a day. You misunderstand Ralston. Bit too austere for me. I won't converse over this.

The only apology I accept is behaviour change. You apologise to yourself by changing your behaviour.

Ducati xDiavel - nice low seat. It's heavy though, lots of power. Not a first timer bike I'm considering selling it. Riding is dangerous and I am getting to an age where injuries and health are my main concern going forward. Love it though

What kind of hands do you like in a man? NB most chicks have a thing for hands and forearms. Like, a legit preference. Type. Shape. Muscularity. Vascularity. Digit length, span etc It's weird. All my girlfriend's and family women have some distinct thing they find attractive in forearms/hands.

Damn bro - like maybe for some. I just love riding the bike. Speed. Power. Wind. Just the pure joy of it without making it about my gender

@JoshB appreciate you sharing your experience today. Thank you.

@JoshB the full moon shines light through the night sky; but it is our job to know it is an illusion. The moon doesn't shine as a true light source, it merely reflects the light from the sun 🌛

Oh that's not possible - you cannot kill the ego. You cannot kill something that never existed in the first place! Maybe deconstruct and to see through it is the intent. Not destruction.

@JoshB gotcha, you summarised much more succinctly what I was trying to express.

Oh, what I asked could be an error due to my understanding of pure OCD being off; normal OCD has the 'thoughts' and then, the compulsion or action performed in reality (IE washing hands due to germs to be cleaner) to relieve the thought. But acting out of the compulsion usually amplifies the obsessed thoughts, instead of relieve them. So I was wondering if pure OCD is like, an obsessive fixation on a topic, and the compulsion is driving and circling the thoughts ABOUT the topic to gain 'certainty'. Only instead of acting out an action in real life to relieve the anxiety, the action is totally mental - an attempt for conclusion. I might not understand pure OCD 🤔

We are talking relative matters, not absolute. Not that you claim anything I claim is wrong, just wrong domain.

Sometimes - I've met people in real life who were remarkably true in transmission to their online persona. It is just very, very uncommon. Witness, even, these forums. No one reveals any connection between their avatars and real life.

@JoshB do you think your thoughts/drive toward certainty are the compulsion, while the topic is the obsession? @Leo Gura Do you think the possibility exists Ralston is heavily compartmentalizing his feeling / emotional capacity & expression purposely? It seems strange to not be aware of emotions and feelings. If they are ignored or repressed, we run the risk of them governing our thoughts (and bias) in ways that aren't transparent. Regardless of Ralston's communication topics, he is often transmitting frustration, aggression and frustration in his expression. He does occasionally miss identifying limitation in others and continually underestimates his natural ability. It doesn't need to be called out (that someone is limited) but it genuinely appears to be pain point for him; how often do we see him incredulous that others do not " get it ". And then he vomits out a rant punctuated by frustration. I've seen people who repress or are unconcious to feelings / emotional affect be very close to becoming charged up and triggered. Emotional energy resides just under the the surface. If Ralston is doing any of this, Love as a concept could be a blind spot. Repressed. Overlooked. Discarded as nothing but human fantasy. Anyway just some random musings. We only have what he chooses to show / expound on, to work with.

Topics shouldn't devolve into attacks slandering one another.

@kavaris you can't ask for no reply from a user and then directly engage them again in conversation. It's effectively a taunt and now it isn't fair to @Someone here now. If you end up stung because you kicked a hornets nest I'll just lock this.
