@UnbornTao rofl, dicked by autocorrect 💀 To be fully woke I should have added the word chad, rizz, mog.... It's giving mariokart... Clock it clock it! No because like... SIX SEVEN SKIBIDY TOILET

But it's a narrative slowly created as a launchpad for the grifting.

@Magnanimous first year? I went hard - book club, Buddhist society, character creator & world builders guild, chess club, drawing and painting club, science students society, mathematics & statistics society, physics society. I think that's it. University of Melbourne. I dropped out of a lot of them, but first year I just went crazy exploring the new world. Chess club, drawing and painting and character creator/world building guild were the best. Met some good mates there. True earnest weirdos totally authentic to themselves 😁 The transition for me was hard. I have to realise I was only being invited or speaking regularly to my high school mates due to shared obligations. Beyond that I had nothing in common with them. It took a year for those friendships to dissolve. But that time I had made 2 mates at uni and they opened up a huge social circle. I was always quiet and shy. Always introverted. But I have a Machiavellian side that comes out to play. I would lean more towards being an ambivert in retrospect. Despite the quietness, I was always able to have deep conversations with anyone. And I have a natural ability to understand alternate perspectives (in fact I have trouble not seeing things from multiple perspectives). I think this is why I was able to connect and make new friends. Real friends. But to do this I had to push past my natural inclination to sit and draw at home, read or do creative stuff. It was lucky the friends I did make really pushed me! Like we talking rock up 7am it's pancakes time! Or 11pm mariakart marathon. Very spontaneous but good for my development. Did you have close friends at high school? None of mine were close, or came close to understanding who I was. Uni guys got it though! It was only me, 1 chick and 8 guys in our circle.

My personal wish? Snap my fingers for a day. Both sexes get the opposite version body for a day. Women would realise just how irrationally overriding mens carnal desires can be. Men would understand how much fear, concern for safety, and vulnerability women experience. None of these basic instincts justify any sort of poor behaviour. But it might be eye opening !

I recall so many clubs and societies at uni - have you joined any? My high school mates where not friends, I discovered. Quite painfully. Merely aquantances born of the convenience of shared circumstance. The high school > University transition can be difficult. It's one of the biggest, if not the biggest, change you have faced so far. My first long term boyfriend I met at a social club at uni 😁

@Hyperion was I arguing - or trying to understand someone's worldview?

If you cannot argue a case without resorting to a statement about that person's character - you will struggle to convincingly argue a case. You are simply going to lose the person. It ends up being about assuaging some feeling. There are a few exceptions, I will grant that - when credibility is relevant. In leadership and ethics someone's integrity can be assessed etc But the type of character judgements I am seeing here are not it. If you make a character judgement and it is indeed relevant, it cannot be done in the disappointing manner it is here. People on both sides are expressing disgust. No need.

Guys, please. Address the argument. Do not make character judgements!

The fuck. I cannot see it!

That is not my argument.

Explaining is a form of appeasement. In this case, this is what elaboration from Leo serves. Capitulation is different. There is no capitulation from Leo unless there is some sound reasoning and truth involved.

Leo does appease his audience and followers. He has 60k + posts ON THE FORUM ALONE. That is a lot of explaining, couching and elaboration. Whenever something isn't clear, Leo elaborates. I probably look like I am white-knighting here, but shit me, it's just facts 🫪🫪🫪

@Leo Gura you never have to justify or qualify a values based discernment in my opinion. Ever. It's really cool that you do, though! It's just people. They do not have the requisite openness to approach anything in good faith, and they cannot help but push their judgement and unconscious bias onto everything around them. I don't know how you deal with it. But I don't have to tell you ! Bias is your domain ☺️ The bluntness is all good for me at least, I prefer it. Probably conditioning from working construction.

@Leo Gura I think due to your status as a teacher, followers get mixed up when it comes to values driven judgements. The above statement, if received from the context of 'teacher' (or leader), appears as a values driven statement dressed up as a universal judgement. Just my observation - either it is users unable to discern when you make a personal values post vs universal truth, or an inability to separate art from artist. IE the work, from the Leo. But this is why we have a forum and access to you - so we can harass you for further understanding! The trouble arises, and where users err, is coming at your posts with loaded judgements or without open questioning in good faith.

You cannot debunk something you don't even understand. Half this discussion is users not understanding what they are arguing against.

I suppose I use a lot of healthy fat. I require a surfectant. 2 years is nothing!

Fuck Incans got nothing on Aztecs - motherfuckers made cups out of their enemies skulls in a doco I watched. Part of their culture was to slaughter hundreds of people in the name of their respective God. The God ( like Tialoc for rain, Quetzalcōātl wisdom / wind etc ) had to have a certain amount of death / blood for shit like the rain to come. Sun to rise. They were an empire also though, but these customs arose from tribal traditions originally. Sounds like peace love and happiness to me 🤣

Reverse Uno - well played

ROFL just revert to infancy and be done with every form of conformity there is - void and evacuate without conforming to cultural use of a toilet

I am not in the 20% There isn't much going on upstairs for me. Just a bag of cats meowing.

@integral Could also be 'death by a thousand cuts' in that, tiny reductions in pollutants across the board produces a tangible result. As opposed to say, one single thing causing issues. Health is homeostasis, and the body has a beautiful ability to adjust and regulate.compensate to less than optimal conditions. But it reaches a tipping point where these balancing systems break or are overwhelmed - manifesting in disease. I think Leo's comments may have just been steering more towards a balanced approach. Perfectionistic tendencies tend to push us into black and white thinking that reduces nuance. That perfectionism can also backfire into anxiety and excessive thought around a single topic. Predisposition & preoccupation with a topic that detracts form overall quality of life. I am not sure, this was just how I read Leo's comments toward you 🤙🏻

At least you have the good grace to use a urinal. I often use the site shed toilet blocks because there isn't a designated women's toilet (I cheap out and hire a block + cubicle combo). I see piss in places that I never considered possible....

BRO. WAHT It just clicked my Hashimotos went into remission and thyroid levels went back to normal-ish 2 months after I moved houses to a more modern, but much better ventilated area. An area surrounded by trees, nature and a riverland. Huh. I even went off my meds... and I don't recall changing anything else. Maybe it was some sort of autoimmune thing from the building I was living in. A possibility I had not considered. I was in that place for 6 years and had issues the whole time with thyroid levels. I wonder if 2 months lag-time was enough for it to effect me systemically? Food for thought. I mean, it's all linked and relevant really. I just noticed why there was confusion

I have read that book - really good. Highly recommended! You have a really good balanced view on this topic, and I always appreciate the content you share regarding it. I see tons of men shamed for being low sex drive or asexual. I see women shamed for expressing open sexuality or high sex drive. This topic is a difficult one because the domains of power do not pivot around a single axis - quite the contrary. It is not as simple as physical strength vs weakness. Childbirth vs not. Logic vs feeling. Most of the troubles isolating the problems are domain and category issues. You can see it in this thread - it is getting messy and all over the place because of the multi-axis reality of the problem which is where analysis breaks. If a real conversation is to proceed, a basic format needs to be: - Domain/Category - Cost/risk structure of domain? - What norms evolved or were posed around it? - Where are the constraints, and how? With sexual violence specifically, the stakes skew heavily because of physical factors (vulnerability) and reproductive consequences. This is why (in principal) societies treat it as a severe violation. And even then there are blind spots. Male victims underreported. Female perpetrators underrecognised. Because the same rigid gender expectations distort perception. People treat dog violence with similar sorts of bias: a Rottweiler will be classed as dangerous and require the utmost diligence in training and temperament management, because it can rip your face off. A Chihuahua? Or small dog? They are typically the WORST trained and get away with a lot, biting/aggression is more common because it is ALLOWED. People laugh at a little toy dog jumping on you - a Great Dane jumping on an old person could seriously destroy their lives. Obviously this analogy doesn't stretch far and is a bit reductive. It just serves to highlight bias and is a capacity for harm example. With humans - perceived potential for harm is under stricter scrutiny. @lostingenosmaze deadass
