  1. Typically when someone cannot understand the nature of something, they need and cling to excessive theory and generalisations. You find the more an outcome is desired or needed, the more the concept is clung to. The less direct experience the person has, the more the lean to abstraction to compensate. When you grasp a thing you normally have the ability to shed all concept and frames of understanding - loosely picking them up or throwing them away. But not requiring them as 'scaffolding' as much as when there is emotional ties to outcome and an experience gap. Having said that - sometimes the reverse can be true. A system can be genuinely complex and resistant to direct simple grasp. It cannot be reduced and needs nuance and case-by-case assessment using a frame. But I think a stout mind can assess and throw away all pre-conceived notions of a thing and approach with 'I don't know'. No attachment to concepts, but full access to them. Ultimately, all need to be discarded.
  2. https://www.google.com/amp/s/7news.com.au/news/looksmaxxing-star-clavicular-collapses-midlivestream-in-suspected-overdose-c-22144080.amp Boy don't look to good 😞 Don't fuck with untested pharma & get caught in toxic ideologies Also got pasted in this recent interview in Australia - although my GOD the interviewer is a smug little shit. Could kick the biscuits off that face. https://youtu.be/CXKCoFz3WRs?si=BbEonpsoijxlQPCE
  3. @Monster Energy pretty much agree with your takes above. He looked remarkably more fucked up in this interview than I have seen him.
  4. Direct mechanism of action is one of the hardest things to pin down. It is the old correlation =/= causation. And its half the reason why the whole 'wellness' industry can be a phat $$$ deceptive grift - mechanisms of action need hard science and proper method. I would add; lack of understood mechanism doesn't mean no effect - it just means lower confidence. And it's not mechanism alone, but quality of evidence.
  5. It is a great tool to be able to separate how we feel about a delivery, from the actual facts, information and words used. If our perception of facts/information + tone/delivery are jumbled together, it often leads us to defer to our feelings, over the truth.
  6. ...that you cannot believe is still free? For me its VLC, Blender. ffMPEG, OBS and Linux (to name what I use currently)
  7. @Leo Gura 🎯 if I could find an emoji of a bullseye with 3 darts in the centre, it still wouldn't be good enough to express how sick that quote is ! Has anyone said Greyhound Racing or the betting industry? Not only conformity, but utterly filthy behaviour from humans. Horrific injuries and inhumane shit. I don't get emotional often but that stuff is a trigger for me 💔
  8. Why stop there? Go deep son... Tough mudder. Iron man. Ultramarathon. Spartan race. Triathlon... Warrior Dash. I am sure there are more 💀 My ex used to train for triathlons and totally destroy his body, taking months to recover. Huge let down after the race as he had nothing to work towards because he literally dicked his own body. Don't get me wrong, I am a huge fitness girl. But balance and care for the body, not mindless meat grinder winner mode...
  9. I see you've smelled my penis envy 🥹
  10. See how you go - people have a large variation in reactions to creatine. I loaded up gradually to 10g per day and have been on that for a while. Great for focus. My advice would be to take it with coffee in the morning (micronized no flavour) as it can cause intense insomnia if taken later in the day. I require less sleep while taking it. I cycle off it for a week out of every 8. Great for sprinting and weights or just cardio. BUT - my Mum and sister cannot take creatine as it causes anxiety in them. My stepdad has ADHD and it helps him. I would do some research on how it works for an idea - I believe it works on the energy transfer system between cells of the body.
  11. @Miguel1 yep - which is why I try to always stress and give proper context. All meanings change without it. I personally do not think it is healthy to want to engage in processes that attract a low conscious quality of relationship. If you follow the dialogue you will see we define what phases are being spoken about - attraction vs within relationship. I don't personally ever speak about feminine / masculine dynamics from the point of view of unhealthy dynamics. If people want to exploit an unhealthy insecure type of attraction dynamic that is fine but it's not what is normal and healthy. I don't know what you mean by 'I speak like @Emerald'. These are my own opinions and thoughts. What was your intention there? I agree it is very case dependant - I always err on the side of caution 😀 Thanks for sharing !
  12. Creatine only
  13. Still no argument or facts.
  14. If you would enjoy my personal perspective? I align with Leo 100% regarding sobriety until well into your 20s. You want to let your brain fully develop and mature without its structure forming with the addition of substances that can destablise you. In every person I know who engaged in substance use prior to mid 20s, emotional disregulation occured. This emotional disregulation interferes with cognitive clarity & ability. Discipline and control of ones faculties is compromised with internal disregulation. There are some individuals who are genetically very resistant to external substance abuse, but it is not a fire you want to risk being burned by. There is simply a HUGE amount of insight, beauty and intelligence to be absorbed from sobar reality. Enough to extract and keep you occupied until later when you wish to engage on the psychedelic path. The ability to delay gratification is a powerful indicator of self mastery. It will teach you to sit with discomfort. I was pretty much sobar until 23 years old. Perhaps one or two drinks, a couple of puffs of weed once. Hardcore psychedelics for me came around 28. It is hard to resist if you are high openness and insanely curious 😁
  15. I don't really think it's solely on a man to do that. Only that persuit and chasing definitely doesn't mean neediness. I think striving, chasing and persuit are masculine traits (if we want to split the typical traits to masculine / feminine). Tbh I think Leo and I are using different terms 🫪 perhaps negative connotations with the word 'chasing'
  16. Only if you are attached or overly dependant on outcome. If you aren't defining the outcome as a reflection of yourself or abilities in any way it's not neediness. It's not that clear cut imo. This is the essence of confident persuit from a masculine man. It comes from want, not need.
  17. You are defining terms differently is all. I personally think insecure women think being persued by a man is gross. I've never been turned off by this. Neediness is something else entirely. I am not speaking about neediness.
  18. @Leo Gura I do not agree. Persuit for a man is a big thing in my experience, in attraction phase. Within the bounds of relationship I can understand containment might mean the feminine leans in the structure of the masculine. But chasing stops at that point. Or it should, in a healthy mature relationship. Containment/stability is different to chasing/persuit.
  19. This is simply algorithm lead rhetoric. It's doing you no good. It's signalling significant cognitive bias and placing you firmly in a powerless, victim mindset. There are some truths there, but they are insidiously woven in with unhealthy dynamics that do not speak to the truth of women. More generalisations to justify hatred. It's aim is to castrate your power. Take it back and question all these narratives.
  20. Are you speaking about attraction phase or within an already bonded relationship?
  21. You'll have to actually argue a case for this. Otherwise, no. Not simple.
  22. Speckled white Mitsubishi's, single 4k hz constant pure tone from the speakers, saucer eyes staring at a white felt tip pen to manifest pure zen state ^n! Where n=1,2,3.... No sense to be had 🫪🫪🫪
  23. It depends on how it transpires, I suppose. By my instincts tell me my dog. Reflexive no-brain action in the moment. But it's impossible to know. Anyone who has faced these sorts of situations knows it almost feels as if there is no decision. Just action.
