@Ramasta9 yes, my rule is no screens and no online stuff while tripping. Ever. Music is the exception. I've adhered to this for the last 10 years.

Ah! I meant - impossible to know if it was genuinely taken on board, considered, and rejected. Or if it was simply speed read over and no attempt was made to understand. I do agree there are some ways to deduct it though

Do we expect poo?

Sadhguru? No thanks, I don't want to be lectured about bad dirt all night 🤣🤣🤣

Was gonna say - if I were the girl I would notice immediately and call it. Having said that I am pretty direct. And expect that candidness in return. I don't think that is typical by any means. It's an interesting double edged sword as an attractive women - or wanting to enhance your appearance to attract a man. You risk drawing someone to you that will value that highly. So when looks begin to fade you sort of shoot yourself in the foot; you worry about the man being attracted to you. In addition, being good looking can also be a block to anyone seeing you beyond the outer appearance. Something to think about for the men who think it is easier for a women to attract in general. Everything in life has its drawbacks; they just aren't always immediately apparently until we look at the deeper mechanisms at play. Not to say you think this way @Miguel1. Just that your post, and the dialogue in this thread, prompted me to think on this. Always appreciate the users here. Even when I don't agree 😁

Sometimes messages are not acknowledged, and do not always need to be, for them to still be received. Impossible to know.

Hahaha! This sentence alone should be generating checksum errors in Owens head. It's generating checksum errors just as a standalone sentence ffs! 🫠

Holy FUCK this is some intense Warhol-esk shit right here..... And I LIKE it Space cadet 👽 You'd be interested to know I just got done building a compounding pharmacy. 3 laminar flow cabinets, 2 cytotoxic and 3 airlock passthroughs. 9 columns were built down with mechanical conduit in sandwich panel with HEPA filters for a tiny space with only 3 working rooms. The air filtration system in there is the most intense shit I have ever seen. Those 9 columns contain duct work totally isolated that vents to an entire steel platform (fit with mechanical filters) we constructed on the roof. The sterility needed to fabricate medical compounds is so high. We stand no chance to isolate ourselves from air pollution. The air has to be near perfect in that space - and the STILL have to use laminar cabinets. Full hazmat gear too. Best we can do is minimise it. The lab techs who work in there laugh at how unsterile the rest of the hospital is. And it's a hospital! Infection control is serious. But they still use chemicals/fragrances that leach out into the air that make the guys who work in the compounding pharmacy die inside.

I think in the context of this thread, this sort of status chasing (Owens extent) isn't normal for the general population. Everyone has their own little status game, but the grandiosity of what is spoken about here is next level.

You might want to inspect this as a limiting belief. The trend would be toward their value system being waayyyy off. Money, material things. Can you imagine the self inflicted head fuck the man would endure? Being with a women who doesn't value you for who you are. Only what you can supply. As soon as you don't have money or status anxiety would creep in. Will she dump me? Pressure. The whole thing is such a low consciousness dynamic to engage in. And then you will form all these narrow views on women as a result of inviting this dynamic.

Into bubble boy mode. The only way. Inoculation from life 👌

The money, the bible used to virtue signal, the women. All status hierarchy stuff. He seems very fixated on broadcasting an image to men.

I'm surprised he's not all over it. He may be, I haven't checked. I am not subscribed to him. Don't want to pollute my algorithms to that extent 🥹

Heya ❤️ I lost my grandfather in hospice - I stayed by his side for his passing. It was confronting. He was the predominant male figure in my life. A fine artist who trained me in oils, watercolour, acrylic, pen on paper, pencil and charcoal. I had a creative bond with him in a way I will never have with another man. His death was the most beautiful thing I have ever witnessed - only met by seeing the birth of my brother, in majesty. There is so much stigma around death. It wasn't negative. He was purifying before my eyes at the end. The nurses in the hospice made sure he was comfortable. He came into such an intense state of being. He was vibrating as he passed. I don't know any other way to describe it. As much as his loss was a strike to my heart, I wouldn't have missed it for anything. He responded to me right up until the end. He seemed to hear all. Your grandmother will love you being present. Love your warm hands on hers. Love the timber of your voice. I don't share my grandfather's passing to detract from your challenging time; merely to emphasis just how much this moment will be cemented as a gift in time for you and her to share. Much love

Earthlings was the reason I stopped consuming industrial farmed animal products - as much as possible.

Probably the forum platform more than anything. In real life I have a lot more at my disposal to communicate with

I wish there was a full on breakdown in-depth interview that went into Blizzards history (and the Activision merge). Jeff Kaplan goes into how turd operations and marketing people eat the soul of good game designers and creators, and guts out a business. I really enjoy interviews with the guys behind Blizzard (I am a huge Chris Metzen fangirl huehue). NGL I hate Lex Friedman

Yeah, my casual everyday routine. Because it's never, ever the same. There's always a surprise. Always novelty. Most people just fail to see it.

It's totally the sneaky ego, humbleness, ain't it? Slinky slippery sly 👀 Little bastard self, always squirming into a new form!

Rofl, that's more like it! 🤣 @theleelajoker I think it's when I am answering a question that is more nebulous; where what I present could be any number of potential answers and I do not consider any one to be THE one. I am not so firm in my opinions and observations and very open to changing them. I change them all the time. Suffice it to say it is not insecurity - more my personal desire to keep things open. I do like to be polite and respectful. But humble? Heh heh. I do not think I am humble. And all politeness and respect can switch off in a flash if there is a transgression. I can be pretty harsh with tongue lashings. Especially if you are a naughty little shit user who needs to have their head pushed in 😈

Could be just the way this is phrased but it sounds hella avoidant. 'Get' inside your mind sounds like an intrusion. If I feel like someone is intruding something isn't right with the relationship, me, or them. But yeah, funny choice of words

@bazera killer yep yep yep agree 🙏 I view it as: this is my teammate on my side. We got each other's backs. We help each other achieve our goals. And have a hell of a fun time doing it 😁 I like to let people open up naturally. And working with men, I have found, professionally and just in life: when you support them in their lifes work their openness and investment in the relationship is enhanced tenfold. They just naturally express emotions. And they also end up leaning on me to understand some feelings/emotions themselves. And due to that the intimacy naturally flourishes. No probing or pushing for emotional expression needed. This is just in general though, general temperament is unique. Some men just never open up emotionally, same with some women. Rolls back again to nothing being simple. Cannot be reductionist. Which is really challenging because I see men always wanting step 1 2 3 to apply to get it right. Which is the masculine way. But one method doesn't work across the unique spectrum of people and personality. And generally leads to wild generalisations and things like red pill etc
