  1. @Wilhelm44 profiling the vulnerability and suggestibility of the members ... 😇
  2. This can be explained by egoic attachment to the teacher role, narcissism. Inflated ego. Could be many motivations behind it. It could be a mechanism to funnel out those who would not follow, and keep narcissistic supply close via adoration from students. Just some possibilities - I don't have a dog in this fight.
  3. @Apparition of Jack In honour of one of the OG memes:
  4. The collective data of humanity could potentially be poisoned into being slop >.< AI entrained on corrupted AI ad infinitum
  5. Raises the interesting hot topic of whether we consider AI data-scraping to be stealing or simply 'learning' much like humans. I never really considered that data could be corrupted, poisoned and fed into AI to reduce usable output.
  6. Spiritual Tech-health druid form unlocked NOT EVEN HIS FINAL FORM
  7. Very true. I think you risk betraying yourself and your needs in the process. You give yourself up in service to love or for another. Self needs are abandoned. In an air emergency, we put on our own oxygen mask before we help anyone else. Or Don't set yourself on fire to keep another warm.
  8. It doesn't quite make sense to me to stick to rigid ideas of what a cult is. As technology evolves our definitions move due to tech changing how we interact, altering dynamics and behaviours. A cult describes a cluster of social dynamics / behaviours. I treat it less as a binary and more a spectrum.
  9. This is a hard thing to face. Many people do not want to admit - sometimes love just isn't enough. People who suffer from addiction have a disease - an affliction. They are bound in service to the addiction. This can get right in the way of loving another person. In addition, remaining in situations like this can hurt immensely. To see a loved one suffer, and to feel that pain with them, can break your heart just as much as breaking up can. It really comes down to; can you endure this with them? Because you will have to be in it with the afflicted person. You will have to partially take on a caretaking role. The whole issue becomes complicated because they also have to want to quit. They have to want a better life. Nothing you can do will change that. If you stay with them, and they do not want to quit, this could end up with profound resentment. It will fracture and destroy your love. Usually people who suffer from addiction aren't always able to hold space to have empathy for what they put you through. This is purely a function of how deeply they are in distress. There is nothing wrong with admitting love just sometimes... isn't enough
  10. What is actually new? Like pragmatic results. Not hearsay Did it crack the IRS database?
  11. @LambdaDelta I may be highly sensitive to caffeine. It find it very psychoactive 😃
  12. No caffeine?
  13. Your wish, my command 🫡
  14. @Monster Energy this is disturbing af My dog is barking at it and won't stop!
  15. @Monster Energy this can be true - but there are some individuals who have something very, very wrong. Not many. But some. Their brains and biology is different. Overall I think rehabilitation and help is what is needed, not leaving people to rot in prison. Imprisoning people for being addicts is wrong to me.
