Something Funny

@Leo Gura you've probably tripped a thousand times by now. Do you feel like it had any effect on your cognitive functions?

Basically the title. I've kept them in plastic zipper lunch bags with silica gel pads and air squeezed out of them.

@Yimpa they look and smell normal to me.

I am curious if anyone here can provide a valid, meaningful argument for why I, as a citizen, have a duty to protect the country I was born in with my life.

@Leo Gura but even in your newest video you've said that young people are wasting thousands of hours playing video games, and how this is problematic. If I became a game developer, I would be contributing to this issue, right? Even if it was a beautiful, artistic game.

@Phil King i see, that's cool. Thanks for sharing.

@Phil King how were you impacted by minecraft?

@Nemra yeah, I can understand that. Here is some context about what I am asking: There were some changes to the mobilisation law in Ukraine, and some of those are aimed at getting back people who left the country before / during war. Plenty of people seem to think that it is a right decision because men have a moral duty to go back and protect their country. I disagree with that. Unfortunately, whenever I ask such people why do they think that it's my obligation to go back to Ukraine and fight, they are not able to give me a good response that makes sense. So I thought that I should ask here.

What do you want to hear? Everyone is a hypocrite and the world is a shitshow.

I've watched the below video on Oil from Leo's blog: When talking about greener alternatives to Oil, the guy completely dismisses the nuclear power simply because "it will need a PR boost", according to his own words. How is that a valid argument? The narrator paints this dystopian "post order" future with oil shortages and climate change but says that nuclear energy won't be an option because...? To me, it looks like a great alternative to oil, gas, and coal. A nuclear power plan produces a shit tonn of energy, doesn't polute the environment or produce CO2, and isn't dependent on weather conditions (unlike solar or wind). It also doesn't require a super complicated supply chain, unlike oil or gas. Ability to produce energy locally, independent of the external political situation is a huge advantage, right? And, I think that its dangers are really overblown. There is also an issue of nuclear waste it generates, but it doesn't seem like that big of a deal to me. Is there something that I am missing which makes nuclear energy not a viable option?

@Yimpa yeah, I found her channel, it's great. @Schizophonia yeah

@Hugo Oliveira thank you

@Ulax thanks a lot

Also, how do I know if my diagnosis is correct?

@Schizophonia that's interesting, thank you for sharing. At the moment, I feel like I have too little experience and knowledge to start tinkering with stuff like this, so I think I will just go with meds and see how it works. But I will keep it in mind for the future.

Idk, what those are to be honest. And I've never tried nicotine.

I see. I am leaning towards trying out the medication. Thank you.

@Yimpa how so? My understanding was that people who are born with adhd just have different brain chemistry, and that it's for life.

@Ulax do you have adhd?

@Yimpa thank you

@Yimpa could you share more, please? What improvements / side effects have you noticed while on medication? Would you say that it helped you to then make those major changes that allowed you to get off the pills eventually? What were you taking?

@Yimpa I've been working with a coach for about 9 months, with 2 sessions per months. She is in favor of me starting to take medication. So is the person who diagnosed me. But I am still kind of apprehensive, and wanted to hear some outside opinions. And yeah, I wasn't able to make any behavioral changes so far. I feel kind of stuck, basically.

Yeah

@Leo Gura why are you guys saying that Owen isn't physically attractive? In my opinion, he looks kind of cool. I like his beard and his style in general. Sure, he is not Brad Pitt hot or whatever, but you guys are acting like he is ugly.

I am looking for an episode where Leo exaplains how God's love is absolute and how he loves and accepts even "bad" things like war and murder. Does anyone remember which one it is?
