@Ulax you little shit Sides in orbit lol

There are challenges sure - I just don't want you to fall into black pill thinking (like I myself did, and clawed out). (づ ᴗ _ᴗ)づ♡

The statement " I am stage 2 construct aware, I am yellow" is more likely a confession of stage orange. It is a way of establishing authority or superiority, identity through achievement, status signaling, and using labels as credentials. Pillars of stage orange levels of growth. Someone with a more integrated understanding is often less attached to identifying as a particular stage. It doesn't necessarily discount that person from being yellow or tier II - but it serves as a reasonable point to infer the above. Especially when this is a pattern of behavior: needing to state oneself as this stage when cornered in debate.

@AION oh no no - this is about you being obsessed with me you want to join my cult!

I have, in the proper looksmaxxing vernacular, ascended ( ˘͈ ᵕ ˘͈)

Looksmaxxing movement is just one - which is why I raised you linked it. If you remove a range of metrics, others have very little to go off. As an example, if you remove speaking face to face, body language, tone, intonation and only have an image to go off - that image is going to serve as a larger metric to go off due to absence of other qualifying factors. If you are interested in being able to deduce with logic and critical thinking I can link you to some good resources. I suggest you look into it yourself if you do not wish to accept my claim. I don't care to pull up data, if that's what you want.

You don't see how if you remove one domain for connection - others become more important?

I mean - you posted it.

Dude you just called him dumb. The irony.

I think there is a distinction to be made between: 1) People care more about looks than they used to. 2) Looks have more influence because technology changed how people meet and interact. There is probably more evidence in support of the second claim. Human preferences for attractiveness are ancient and fairly stable - what has changed most is the environment. It is probably more accurate to say technology has increased the importance of appearance in certain contexts/domains.

I wonder how the projected budgeting for upgrading all the data centre hardware factors in - by the time they are built and running new chips will supersede them. Bets on Nvidia having deals for buybacks or upcycling or some shit.

It brings out the worst traits in people. All the wrong behaviour is rewarded if the intention is to build something of substance with another being with maturity, respect and gracious connection. The platform removes the context in which human qualities become visible. You are very correct that it corrupts men's understanding of the nature of women. You end up in a terrible cognitive echo chamber where confirmation bias destroys truth. Dating apps create conditions where confirmation bias thrives because people receive highly selective feedback and then generalise from it. I wouldn't say there is NO success in online dating unless one is good looking, but the odds are against you if you do not have that "look" to initiate a swipe right decision.

SING IT ((ヽ(๑╹◡╹๑)ﾉ))♬

We need to create systems to support this, and incentivise markets to work with these systems to profit in some way. I can't think of any other way for people to hop onto problem solving faster. There has been a lot of research and development into ways to extract carbon out and leverage the carbon cycle. Carbon farming. Bioenergy with carbon capture and storage, DAC or direct air capture. Even ocean absorption based strategies. If only stupid cu*** like Musk weren't insisting on abandoning Earth for Mars. TF even happened to that narrative? Someone needs to engineer a HUGE plant to move carbon into places we want it to support the existing cycle.

Been my best years so far.

I agree with this, which is why I think for someone like Orion it was a matter of time before he jumps on it in some way. Capture the audience while it's hot, ready and there. Smart.

@PsychedelicEagle I eat the seeds (I roast them) and I consume a lot of pumpkin per day - I even slice off the skin in thin whisps. Roast it with oil and some salt for skin crisps No supplements. I wasn't even the one to notice my hair changing. First it was just my mum making off-hand comments. Then I saw I mate who I hadn't had over in 4 or so years. He noticed right off the batt! Not something he normally notes. I was going to slice it all off as I routinely go through phases of shaving it or cutting it into a pixie thing. But now I want to see how long it can go before it stops growing... I gotta say it is MAINTENANCE. Which is why I contain it all in braids. Even tied up the bun is larger than my head. This is VERY cool! Appreciate the share. I eat an ungodly volume of vegetables. I don't really get many carbohydrates from any other sources. Lots of eggs too. From my mums chickens. Took a while to train my body to work with so much fiber, but once acclimated its awesome! Never felt better. I tend to believe most recommendations for vegetables are way below what is required due to the nutrients being depleted from soul - hence effecting quality. We need to crop cycle to replenish soils. Instead we just farm the same shit over and over, depleting it the good stuff.

Metrosexuals. Of course its old mate Orion Hard ick

@Jacko thanks for the share, I came across this coincidentally. Tl;dr lies lies and more lies. Quite alarming too, as I routinely make purchases in an effort to avoid foods that could be from polluted origins. Having said that, the volume of processed foods I eat is very small. I don't even remember the last time I purchased Leggos tomatoes ! I am not surprised by the findings.

There's an opportunity to leverage off this

@Judy2 At your age I wouldn't even use a retinoid - just me personally. Your cell turnover will be optimal. Increasing it might just (and sounds like it does) cause irritation. With all of these sorts of products YMMV. If you are a non-responder or have adverse reactions I would simply discontinue use. With regards to sunscreen - do you have a mindfulness practice where you focus on the quality and content of your awareness? It is possible to filter out sensations from your immediate sensory experience. Some people can do this, others cannot. If this isn't possible, look into a waterglide sunscreen, low residue or low oily emulsion. Skin types are highly genetic, I have a large family, so I regularly ask them what works for them also - for advices For many skin issues - I tend to look at diet. Do you get enough healthy fats? I eat a LOT of fat in my diet. I usually do not assess and apply solutions topically and go for diet, hydration and movement based solutions. I also routinely eliminate all products if I am reacting in some way and my routine is dialed in / consistent. It is funny you raise this - I am unsure if there is any science behind it - but I eat pumpkin and carrot every day. My hands and feet have a yellow tinge to them. I've noticed I can withstand the sun for longer portions of time without burning. I am very resistant to tanning also. Which is a large contrast to when I was younger and did not consume these vegetables; I would burn and freckle up. I haven't gotten any new freckles or skin marks for 3/4 years. I worked out I get around 1g of oil from pumpkin. Ever since I begin consuming it daily, my hair thickened, falls less and is highly resistant to breaking. I didn't change anything else. I've been eating similarly for a while. My hair is now reaching my thighs. You can visibly see how much thicker the plaits are after diet change - I usually wear my hair braided on either side of my head.

Maybez - What chu gonna do about it, ay? Wonna fight?

If you think life is a vending machine where you put good in and good comes out - you will be sorely disappointed. You have to be anti-fragile. When the wind comes, don't let it blow you around so you fall over. The winds of chaos and RNG have to feed you like a fire. We all face this shit. Giving up isn't the answer. I do recognize a lot of black/white and absolutist thinking in your posts. It is important not to draw huge conclusions from single events. Trust that you will bounce back.

It's tough - women are socialised to be agreeable, care and prioritise group harmony. They are also held accountable when they DON'T put their foot down. Sometimes this conditioning runs right up against candid communication. It's something many women need to learn, but they often, when initially handling truth, overcompensate and verge on nastiness and hostility while transmitting their message. It is a function of maturity - usually. There are good women out there. Take 5 and focus on your life purpose for a bit ❤️
