  1. What would be the point in even broadcasting it? All the cards are laid bare with the intent to do so alone.
  2. 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/
  3. I too did a lot of research. MND is idiopathic in nature, but there is some genetic causes also, I believe? One pattern we came across was pesticides. My aunt grew up in an area of Australia (farming and agriculture) that has a large quantity of cases of MND in a small locale. Farmland. The hospitals noticed the large volume of cases from the one area and a small information, research and support group was founded. They are currently doing investigation but it is suspected agricultural pesticides may be a contributing factor. My aunt swam every day in the rivers in the area.... diagnosed with MND after a lot of confusion and misdiagnosis for 16months. She is 70 years old.
  4. I never laboured under the assumption I was.
  5. Yes, and this is why I raised the case of my Aunt who was diagnosed with motor neurone disease. If anyone knows anything about this disease - it is a terminal death sentence. A slow irreversible decline (think Steven Hawking - suffered from a form of MND and very long lived). My aunt has been given 18 months based on her rate of decline. It is very, very confronting to see how quickly she is fading. Unfortunately, she fell prey to many alternative health treatments (grifters) who sold her on cures with no evidence. Burned through immense amounts of cash for it to amount to nothing. She is investigating assisted suicide.
  6. This is just your own assumption and reading into my question. My line of enquiry for proof would act to convince anyone in doubt, who has not been so across Leo's history. It's your claim. Not everyone studies others with curiosity (maligned or no). Not everyone is across whatever data you make your claim on.
  7. Can you link us some quotes to substantiate this?
  8. @Joshe that doesnt address anything I said or the potential issues with your way of deriving knowing.
  9. 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.
  10. 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.
  11. 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.
  12. 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.
  13. 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.
  14. @Miguel1 same! Thanks for the link 🙃
  15. I haven't seen a link or pattern between intelligence and happiness. That being said I can't watch Orion, I get gross vibes.
  16. 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
  17. 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 😈
  18. @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
  19. Yeah. Argh - happy to receive the gut punch 🤣 Some messages take a while to soak up. Thanks for sharing 🙏🏻
  20. @Schizophonia it's how way out of balance the focus is. All surface no substance
  21. 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 ╮⁠(⁠^⁠▽⁠^⁠)⁠╭
  22. 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.
  23. "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
  24. @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.
  25. 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.
