Simply from the fact that I opened up emotionally to this one girl to the point where I really want to have intimacy, I kind of look for it at other places as well now. Like at my social spot yesterday.

This wood background is super minimalistic but a bit more interesting then black yet very calming. Just found it and feel like sharing it. https://external-content.duckduckgo.com/iu/?u=https%3A%2F%2Fwallpapercave.com%2Fwp%2Fwp4792785.jpg&f=1&nofb=1&ipt=d3ace8df869e7ff96c88ac4ec81d5517dec3d6fff51826c1be70c870badab226&ipo=images

This is a genious move to gain control over your social media usage. I cant stress the impact that this can have on your life enough.

Just looked at the available apps. You pretty much get all the basics. I minimalized my phone manually and basically found all my apps on the list with the exception of an adhd app and firefox. Firefox I slimmed down a lot though so it would probably be similiar to chrome. So the only thing that would change would be the design and even that can be mimicked. I think the only strong benefit this has over manually minimalizing your phone is that it takes no will power to do it. For those who struggle with re-downloading social media and stuff like this, this can be very useful.

Things like this existed before. The problem I have with something like this is that it isnt flexible. Some things which may be seen as a distraction are actually quite useful. Like I have my calender and to do list conveniently as widgets on my phone and I need them. Couldnt really do that with that system. You can minimalize your phone manually to a very strong degree though. I have only got my essential apps, put them in grey colours. My browser blocks all distractive websites. I dont know if I would gain much if anything from switching to this.

Mmh I feel like I got a lot more grounded and less idealistic. I see people more for who they are ... While I matured I also dried out a little though when it comes to loving people. Before I could kind of connect their twisted actions with the understanding that it is done out of love. Cant really do that anymore, I just see more of the corruption. I am more blackpilled if you like. I also cant really feel that the source of all things is love anymore when I could somewhat gasp in that before. So I gained some and lost some.

Yeah was in a theatre group and am now in an impro-theatre group. Regular theatre can be very very time consuming when you prepare a play within a month or so. Impro can be done once a week without any preparations, so you can do it better as a side hobby. Both are a great place to explore some aspects of yourself, be creative and meet new people. If you are an overthinker like myself impro might not be super easy at first though.

@blankisomeone Not buying or having an aversion against Apple products when you are in more educated circles. ( I am kind of ashamed of owning a Mac although its a great product for me )

Most of it, but there are Apple Products out there with good price performance ratio, like some Macs

I feel like I kind of play myself in pen and papers. I play a female character and am quite feminine for a dude. And I play very methodical, careful and always find creative strategies to solve problems. The last one is something I havent really reflected about myself, that that is something I may or may not do. Maybe I should also explore different faceits of my personality... or I am already quite settled...

@Judy2 Damn, I had no idea something like this existed ... Well, if you imagine to be a fairy good enough whats the difference.

I recently started diving into fantasy games like pen and papers, magic and stuff like that. And when playing these games I started to notice some things which are spiritually relevant. For one, when I am into an imagined mission in pen and papers, I take decisions and consequences in this imagined world more serious then I would have thought. Like when something goes wrong or if we enter a dangerous situation it feels a bit unnerving and there is a thrill to it. You also feel things like guilt when you do immoral things in this imgagined world. Of course to a lesser degree. But this makes it a bit transparent that the "real world" is simply a deeper imagination. Also when you live in a world with dragons, goblins, werewolfes and so on these things can feel kind of real. Like they are almost part of this world. ... I love some artwork in magic btw.

Magic cards can be so cool. I missed out on the whole fantasy sphere.

What about the military, would they ever disobey orders?

I have been following politics avticely maybe for 2 years now. Well trump did a lot of shit like the stupid tarrifs which damaged the whole worlds economy, attack iran, ... and while he got critique from some republicans the majority of them stayed loyal to their strongmen. So yeah, thats pretty sobering, I forgot. But a nuke would be a new level. And with trumps approval dwindling the republicans must fear loosing their voters if they keep on supporting this madness. Not saying the republicans would all be against him then, but maybe a big enough chunk would support an impeachment.
