It's called rhetoric I have used Google since it was established. It is very, very poor quality now. So, to me, it is dead.

AI slop now. Thank riddence I binned google as a search engine over a year ago. https://techcrunch.com/2026/05/19/google-search-as-you-know-it-is-over/

I just can't run off a small, non-random example and leap all the way ------> population claim. It's a good observation, but not enough for the 99% claim. This is just poor precision and epistemology. I cannot be swayed by this. Really it comes across as you pulling numbers out of thin air? If you have something to support this I will get behind it. Otherwise cheers for the other clarifications.

There's no evidence supporting this claim. Maybe it was simply rhetorical. I would argue that most people who consider/think about suicide are not simply looking for "reasons to go through with it." Suicidal thinking exists on a spectrum. Some people have a persistent desire to die. But then also many experience intense ambivalence; they want the pain to end and want to live if things could improve.

When he first started he was good - I agree 100%. I feel like he fell into manosphere content in the same slow boil manner people who are chronically online and chained to their algorithm do. It is sad to see a psychologist become corrupt.

Haha I know - deadass I had a dream I turned into a Labubu and my teeth were falling out. And my teeth were purple. As each one fell out I tried to put them back in to my gums, but the gum was floppy with no jawbone. Then the fire services contractors appeared and were assisting me. They drew up a block plan of my mouth and strategies to reinstall teeth. MY GOD. I was so disturbed I woke full of adrenalin and broke my night phone ban to check the forum... Anyway. DISTURBING.

@Miguel1 same! Thanks for the link 🙃

I haven't seen a link or pattern between intelligence and happiness. That being said I can't watch Orion, I get gross vibes.

Training / discipline sessions with my dog, weight training and cycling. Listening parties with friends; I have a record player and big sound system. We sit in darkness with candles, listen to a full album and then discuss. Every week people bring a record to share

I do what I want with abandon! 😎 My brother will... Who lives in my building. Who gave me his apartment key to walk his dog. He trapped himself into his older sister jacking his console and game 😈

@UnbornTao I'll give zen browser a walk around the block. AI is being forced at every turn. I have uses for it, but most of the time I spend checking it's work - time I would spend actually doing the work myself. So I'm not actually saving any time, using my mind less and losing its sharpness / skill. I just don't need as much AI as is creeping in. I use it mainly for document compilation and administration. Nothing high level as the amount of redo / revision of its work wastes more time than me doing the work. Bit of a tangent

Yeah. Argh - happy to receive the gut punch 🤣 Some messages take a while to soak up. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻

@Schizophonia it's how way out of balance the focus is. All surface no substance

I love disagreeing with people I like. We should be comfortable with ambiguity and discerning subtle differences. Intellectual maturity. When someone can argue a crazy outlandish point with sound argument, internal consistency and transparent logic - I kinda love it. It's like "they are serving up this delicious horseshit with the ultimate garnishes and aesthetics, it's still horseshit, but the presentation is immaculate" The truth usually arrives with a bunch of bullshit anyway. The wheat is always being sorted from the chaff. Maybe I just like the process as much as the end result ╮⁠(⁠＾⁠▽⁠＾⁠)⁠╭

Ooph. He repulses me. Looksmaxxing feels so effeminate - which can actually be an asset - when it is counterbalanced by strong masculine traits to act as compliment. Really interesting juxtaposition when a man can embody feminine/masculine in balance. But clav ain't it.

"my metaphorical balls have receeded into my body in anticipation of rejection - but I really love whatever the fuck you are DOING to me right now and I'll have an order for takeaway" I'm a sleaze

@Jirh some shit can be just hard over text in general. I had a horrible bomb like that thrown at me from an ex who called me a selfish, entitled child for floating through life on privilige. He was right. But it hurt so much I wouldn't allow the message to be received. And because it was from an ex, I didn't trust the source. But it was accurate.

I would be questioning my own ability to filter "high consciousness" people from "low consciousness" people. I would consider my own arrogance in making that judgement and on what markers or parameters I make the distinction. I might investigate if I am my own bad filter, removing out opportunity to truly see high consciousness in another. But that's me.

@Miguel1 nothing here appears as an attack - merely people calling it as it is seen according to the language you use. If you mean something different, you can step in to clarify. You frame "game players" as low consciousness. How is this not putting yourself above, as you also claim to be "higher consciousness"? I say this with love. Honestly. I get worried when people don't give negative feedback or all positive. It means they DON'T care. I come in good faith.

Pre-orders up, bitchez!

I tend to agree with @oOo @Jirh here. There is something you are getting egoically from believing you are above certain things. The frame you use feels off to me, personally. Feeding egoic belief could be causing the feeling of misalignment. Consider you are afraid of being 100% authentic for the fear of rejection, abandonment or being cast out. These are fundamental things for humans. All of us. Sometimes shit is real simple and we make it complex. By facing rejection the wrong people often fall away - and the right people who exist that can change your view appear. These people, you won't have to entertain games with. I also note this has been a constant thorn in your side for a while, but you are rejecting what the above 2 users are saying without really trying to sit with the initial bad taste. I would personally try to sit with the feedback for a longer time. A week or so, prior to rejecting. Sometimes the things we are avoiding the most have the greatest opportunity for growth.

Instead of sledging others in such a negative and non-constructive way, you could let others come to their own conclusions if they wish to. Or you can ignore me. But this is such a poopy comment. You can have your opinion, but it isn't immune to criticism. And it's a shit statement all round. Zero contribution.

You aren't able to explicate your reasoning. So the conversation is fruitless to me.

Which areas of your life do you currently feel the greatest mismatch between your feelings of 'how you desire to be' and your actions?

There is evidence to support the claim that open, responsible conversations about suicide are generally more protective in the long run, over silence or non allowance. Blanket bans on these sorts of topics can lead to possibilities of inducing shame, isolation and mistakenly creating beliefs we are not allowed to speak on these topics. The evidence does NOT show talking about suicide always prevents suicide, or that any discussion is beneficial. A lot of this topic is tightly woven into questions around sovereignty/agency, personal responsibility and ethics. Terminal health diagnosis that cement us into a slowly declining quality of life often lead to suicidal thoughts as a possible solution. I know my relative who was recently diagnosed with MND is seriously considering assisted suicide. At the end of the day it's always how, by whom, and in what context suicide is talked about.
