@AION you're whinging. And your logic is flawed. PM Leo. I won't ask again. This thread isn't to discuss sexism, how the website is moderated, or dictating what others should tolerate because of our own low standards.

Full blood panel & work from there. Not just the normal stuff. Endocrinology in depth etc. the best suppliment is the one we are deficient in. Sleep absolutely no.1 Every 45 minutes of focused work, 15 minutes light movement. Zone 3/4/5 cardio regularly. Creatine did crazy shit for my focus and overall awareness. YMMV Also my own secret best biohack weapon - placebo 💪

@AION PM Leo please. Stop derailing OPs thread.

Flirting is sort of the language of subtext using all sorts of communication methods... Intonation, tone, language, emphasis, body language, eye contact, physical touch. It's a crazy dialogue. 100% agree regarding the tension piece, and the bulk of the post. Personally, I love it when someone I have chemistry with leans in to whisper in my ear. Just that action of the man leaning forward and holding a hand up to his face, palm facing inwards, is an automatic benign invite that could reveal...who knows what! You get to feel their breath, the heat. Hear words spoken in hushed tones which convey different spectrums of emotion typically. And whispers like that are great - it's probably not going to escalate too pre-emptively (creates perceived safety as a woman) because it is a dialogue both parties are familiar with (lean in, hand up, she leans in, words spoken - lean out and watch reaction). And you get to speak words that imply they aren't for all to know.... I'd imagine there are all kids of ways to fuck this up, but it's a prompt. The girl can decide to lean in or not. And how eagerly she does so (or if there is hesitation) is a good temperature read on her interest. Anyway your post prompted my sperg 🙃🙂🙃

Don't be sexist. Simple. See markup to clarify any confusion. Feel free to argue your case the above bolded isn't sexist with Leo. VIA pm please. Thanks.

@YIDIRYIDIR none of what you raise connects with the meaning of my post. Neither here nor there. As you will - avoidance is your right.

Yes! But only Leo can do this. It is done by request - private message.

Consider that we may not be really LOOKING to see where, how and why we DO connect, relate and crossover with others. You actively look for differences and focus on them, give them more gravity and weight. Isolation, feeling different, loneliness, inability to relate. Have our perspective understood, find others with interests that crossover with ours - all very mundane, basic insecurities. When you really dig into the depths of others - the human experience, stripped down, is remarkably similar. Only with little garnishes of difference - but the core troubles are usually the same. This is a cognitive bias. Also consider ones lack of self esteem won't let them believe they are boring and regular. This is so unbelievably common. If we cannot accept being ordinary, we are still controlled by the idea of being special.

@Carl-Richard watch out for @Jirh and those pitchforks

That is a story your mind is mapping over what is. Some sort of belief taken on as it is sourced from ideas. Infinity of Gods in the relative domain aligns - within time and space. Behind it all is oneness, unity, wholeness, infinity (and not even, these are merely pointers that appear as interpretations for isness). There are simply too many narratives and mind-overlay thoughts needed to "grasp" or "awaken" to solipsism in any direct manner as a relative domain "experience". My critique is more about the direct realisation itself. It simply is not direct because it requires interpretation. It requires things that do not exist in reality to understand reality - this is in conflict. _____ And for anyone who thinks there is something I dislike or I don't like the feelings associated with solipsism - think again. The concept of being alone is right and dandy with me.

@Jehovah increases <3 @MediumKahuna Cheers the share Could be just past that mark - but if you look closely the end where the camera pans through as they are arming up and getting to the ready line is one smooth take tracking and panning through. The level of coordination needed for the shit is crazy! @Raze Everything is the same bit with little changes every time, adding to experience! I wouldn't not have sex again because it is just the same thing again. I think Aliens is a totally different movie to Alien, but this has nothing to do with the plot

Just an appreciation thread. They don't MAKE this sorta quality shit anymore. Fucking love this into. The last 1:10 onwards is one single take with perfect execution. This scene below was with Ripley inspired the shit out of me as a young girl. I grew up looking up to her as a female character:

💫❤️‍🔥

Tell me. If you could choose what you want to hear more from a partner: "I deeply respect you" or "I deeply love you" I do think there will be overlap depending on how we define romantic love - this is about what you want to hear more from a woman.

I would just counter that and reneg my original statement - there would just be being and that is all. Solipsism, others, you, me, mine, inside, outside. All mind concepts which can never be direct.

Yet it is conceptualized. Otherwise there would be no recognition that "other" is not. You would simply reside in oneness, infinity, union. Other isn't known to you. So it cannot be denied.

@Raze "I don't know" , is a good answer 🫶

How would you answer the question yourself though?

This doesn't appear to me to be building a case for slavery It reads as an explanatory outline of why slavery and other forms of oppression arose historically. Maybe the closest thing to a claim may be: But how do you know this was a necessary process to move through to progress human development? The problem is that the necessity claim is counterfactual. To really establish this claim, you would need to show that no alternative path to similar levels of development was possible.

I haven't watched it - but I will. Thought I would share. Despite my issues with Jubilee and it's format (+turd moderation)... Discuss

Work Is Not Happiness I am in two minds regarding this post. On the one hand - I recognise humans naturally value something more when they invest in something. When we move toward things we value highly, this can bring pleasure. And happiness - somewhat. But somewhere along the line, my investment in 'tasks' - be they work or not - seemed to have dissolved. I lost my aversion to life tasks. I lost my desire. I experience preference for certain things - yes, absolutely. I feel more keenly and genuinely. I can identify my emotions, thoughts and feelings with crystal clear vision. I do not resist the moment - that is to say - there is no where I would rather be at any point in time and space. Eating a hot meal after a winter bike-ride. Having a hot shower. Even picking up dogshit. Cleaning my toilet. Getting sick and stuck in bed. Injuring myself. My preference is not to experience these last few phenomenologie/s. But I don't resist. I am content with whatever comes my way - good or bad. I accept. So I am happy at work, even right now (procrastinating on the forums a bit ). But it is not work that is causing the happiness, or contentment. It just is. I bring it (happiness) to the work, instead of the work bringing it to me. Maybe this is what you point to? I don't feel it is quite clear to me - yet.

I get extreme aversion toward him. I dislike his mass surveillance shit via Palantir Enterprises. He heavily advocates for monopolies and favours a sort of 'technocratic elite' and I feel like his stupid theological antichrist lectures are hypocritical attempts to disavow his own vast power. Also his political shit is sketch as fuck financially backing various far right candidates to try to remake liberal democracy. His whole libertarian worldview is sociopathic and dogmatic. Gross 🤢 🤮

What if one is an experiencer?

@Inliytened1 I feel you. We talking barely eating, leaving my bed. Shell of a human. Like someone surgically removed my soul. Life spun by on black and white. Every second was an eternity. Sleep was my only respite. My first massive episode of depression was triggered when I was truly broken hearted for the first time. It lasted 18months. I lost my job. The most horrifying part was the cognitive decline during that period. I was unable to focus at all. Scattered. I had to even take a leave of absence from uni in 3rd year because my grades took a nosedive.

This is precisely why I'll always risk it for the biscuit I don't hesitate to go all in. Go with the flow. See where loves takes me. As deep as it will. I know that any heartbreak or pain I might go through - I trust I am able to heal from it.
