@Majed Gonna start with some tough love: If you feel, creepy and unnatural when approaching girls, that's exactly how she's gonna feel too. You need to get out of your head and just talk to more people on a regular basis. Once talking to strangers becomes normal and your social skills improve, approaching with romantic intent will feel less "creepy." This post shows that your inner game needs a lot of work. I would look into doing some subconscious reprogramming work and fixing some of these limiting beliefs which are holding you back. It seems like you have quite a lot of them. Also, a question for you, how are the other areas of your life doing? Career, social life, family, etc.? Everything going well elsewhere, mate?

I have a friend who recently gifted me a TON of mushrooms. A bunch of different strains that I've never heard of. One of the strains he gave me was actually psilocybe natalensis, which is an entirely different species of psilocybin-producing mushrooms (the most common are the psilocybe cubensis species) I've heard that these have different subjective effects and are significantly more potent. I'm wondering if anyone has experience with these and would be willing to share their experience. I'm eager to try!

Does anyone have any thoughts on the whole Elon Musk and 𝕏 fiasco that is currently unfolding? I have just started using the platform as a means to grow my personal brand and I personally love the stance Elon Musk has taken in support of free speech. Elon just recently made comments where he told advertisers who pulled out of 𝕏 to "Go fuck themselves." It's kind of ironic because I just finished watching Leo's video on the Social Matrix. I do think that the way Musk handles himself at times can be careless. Advertisers have been pulling back from 𝕏 for a while now, but Elon's recent comments which were labeled by the media as "antisemitic" caused a mass exodus. Personally, I don't think that Musk is an antisemite. Especially considering the fact that he just visited Israel and spoke with Netanyahu about the October 7th massacre. Any thoughts, guys?

Hamas has been self-governing since 2005. There are issues with Israeli settlement in the West Bank, yes. However, Gaza has been incapable of pulling their shit together. Hamas was elected in 2006. Since then, they have run Gaza like a 3rd world country, diverting humanitarian aid that is sent to them towards terror activities like building tunnels under civilian areas and digging up pipes to build rockets. Another primary source of funding for Hamas is extreme taxation on the population, making it even harder for them to survive. Radical Islamic Jihadism has a lot to do with these issues. They indoctrinate their own children into terrorism. Why do you think they have so many young men ready to become martyrs? Palestinian children are shown anti-semitic cartoons on TV. The only way this conflict will be resolved is if Hamas is wiped off the face of the Earth. You can't have peace when your neighbors are terrorists. I would highly recommend to everyone to check out this series "Whispered in Gaza" which showcase the brutality of Hamas:

Last time I checked, sodium is an essential nutrient that aids in a variety of bodily functions...

Just wanted to share a fun little thing I made today. Thought it'd be pretty fitting if I posted it here. Also was wondering if there is a dedicated place on this forum for posting art and creative stuff...
