These are only active in a few big obvious cities like new york or london, most of the groups are empty and unresponsive. I could try private dming members, but I feel as though they would ignore me for being intrusive. Those chats are not liquid enough, … They're filled with endless self promotions of the hosts courses, podcasts ect... If you go to the game global chats for the majority of the options apart from london new york ect.. you will just see lines of self promotion with almost no one discussing …. occasionally someone will put them self out there but too no avail as no one responds. Most of those chats are lame, I need other options.

What people say is not what is necessarily true. I feel as though it's toxic positivity and arrogance to assume that most people, and yourself, could just lose literally everything and homeless, and maracously just come back. In most cases you'd just be sleep deprived and spiral into derangement, unless you had some form of support in place, like social security, or a helping friend or some feasible way out. I'm not talking about Tom torreros case here though. Also, the combined feeling of (online, scaled) stigma plus losing your business must be particularly strong. I feel as though it wasn't his business lost that got him the most even, but his positive purpose being shitted on and twisted by the media. He probably should've moved country and started a new life at that article point, no one in Columbia gives a fuck about the article.

Depends where you live but smart phones are actually quite cheape these days ... If you buy a phone from 2,3,4 years ago E.g you can buy an Iphone 10 or 11 and it's decent price with all you need, people just think they need the new Iphone 14 pro Max or 2023 Samsung, but it's not like 3 years ago phones are that different.

For months I was unmotivated and disillusioned with this forum, ... Today I skimmed through the titles and seeing very high quality juicy questions, some interesting questions that, should produces valuable answers and discussions. Well done people ! Maybe it is a fluke luck weak, but Something good has happened to people's minds recently.

Time for action now. No more logging in to this forum this month. No more reddit qouara ect.. Even for products "which one should I buy?" "Which country for pua?" NOPE. 5 Minutes to decide only questions allowed = for research purposes "how to best use this product?" = YES "How to be adapat to X place?" = YES but must decide what ot buy live to inmediately, no hesitation, if it's the wrong decision doesnt matter, inertia is the devils work.

randomly flipping through leo's "what is wisdom" "fools are judgemental ..." (googling) : Why is being judgemental bad? ... pushes people away, better to have humility and open to other opinions ect... Psychology Today : "finding the hidden motives behind are behaviour" (My judgemental side) ... here we go again impractical pop psych ahh ("wait a minute, just find some gold") .. "Finding the hidden reasons behind behaviour", there could be something here "why am I so indecisive?" I'm indecisive because I hesitate, spinning my wheels in thought loops, because of FEAR That's it, just literally fear Fear = indecisiveness. Also perfectionsim = Indecisiveness, caring about others opinions = hesitation = indecisiveness = inaction ect.. Useful psychology is just so simple, hence my weariness of self improvement books and all this over trash Nevertheless it can always be the path to finding, or rediscovering the simple truths you remind oneself. I am being indecisive because I'm afraid : of losing some money of "Spillage", of waste, ect.. I'm afraid of wasting $10 or $50 ... but I end up with no product in trying to find the perfect one I'm afraid of wasting $2K, which I may well do, but then I never start, I never move, I never take the risk and get the experience which is priceless I must let go to holding on to everything, to needing to be perfectly ready I have to let go of my computer files, the books I can't bring with me, the certainty of home I have been frugal and conservative for almost a year now, and to be honest, not much has come I am best suited to "gambling" on life, going to die anyway fuck it bro. But in this process of hesitation I am losing the most valuable thing of all : My time, and my spirit (decaying from inertia) and the experiences I could be having and in turn the character and identity I should be building , which are priceless,

No it's not. It's not harassment unless you are being aggressive and ask repeatedly. Just because something you do makes someone feel uncomfortable doesn't = harassment. This is a stupid sentence. Why would someone who wants to charm a girl "intentionally" make them feel uncomfortable, it is always unintentional due to bad game, low social IQ etc Making someone feel uncomfortable does not instantly equal harassment. Many people are still uncomfortable with gay people but that doesn't mean the gays are harassing. I am still a bit uncomfortable with trans people, but they are not harassing me. However, if a trans person made me uncomfortable because he asked my number in a loud voice 5 times in a row after I said no with his breath right in my face, or he randomly started touching me provocatively, that would be harassment. Frustrating that I even have to point this out, this should be common sense. I standing up against undeserved victim identity here, if a guy asks for your number, you can say no, and he should go away after that, but never claim that he's harassing you just for that, ironically you're actually harassing him by exaggerating the situation and slandering others.

@John Paul Try condescent shit to me in real life pussy Cant take light criticism and you had to make fun of people with mh issues? Shameless lil bitch you are ill knock you out clean
-
I think your comment is lacking nuance and intelligence. Even though i understand where you coming from to an extent, and not every guy needs to do 5000 approaches of day game and follow every point leo mentions, some are naturals ect.... However It is an undeniable fact that the ability and willingness to approach, the courage of that is not only indispensible, but without the lens of pickup (or masculinity or sometimes red pill) it would be hard to get a typical guy go to motivate himself to start doing it, so i do believe tje majority of man includimg guys with good social iq woupd benefit from leos videps purely due to the encouragment and willingness to take bold action element, but the extra technical details will not be necessary for everyone and some prefer just having 1 girl. So to conclude even though i may not resonate leo in every video ect.. I do respect his efforts here with these series and its vital to show respect where its due to balance out ones critical nature
-
Maybe it would help to have more empathy than to look to down on & endlessly make fun of the part of society who has it worse, aimless (and probably badly raised) men ?
-
also shoutouts to the NPC OP who pointed out about 1% of pickup and made it look bad when we all know pickup is just interacting and flirting with women, nothing wrong with it and these guys are clowns not puas
-
This paragraph is pretty nonsensical and it's disappointing given your normal standards. Another shit and futile comment which ultimately makes no sense. "healthy ish "chads" " is such a vague attempt at a noun that you might as well have just said mr beans. good girl is subjective. shouldn't judge people on whether they settle down or not. You guys are being NPCS, but maybe I'm being an even bigger NPC by taking my time to pointing it out instead of taking useful action and focus on myself. Ew, NPC

Optimized Life replied to Leo Gura's topic in Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events
Musk's arrival to twitter is awesome. He brought back Tate and is honouring his commitment to free speech, very needed in these times. He has honoured one of the top libertarian values; a free and open society. -
I am having idea to completely wipe all my data off this forum & remove all comments and thread, I don't want to be here anymore and I am taking more privacy measures so where is this option? I am not satisfied with just having to "hide" all my thread and comments when it is still visible to mods and leo, thats still just a little weird. Why is there not complete data wipe.
-
@StarStruck of course I am a random person and no one knows or cares. However ... it is just a principle of privacy and control of my data, I have a right and there should 100% be an option for this. Also data protection is imo important for everyone these days and btw how would you know I couldn't become a high profile individual within the next 3-5 years? Also why are you posting my self reflection journal? this post is not specific to that journal or a specific post I couldn't care less, it is more just about removing all my identity and data efficiently on here because I fucking want to, it's my fucking data lool what is this place ... It should be a 1 click button that wipes your data just like an amazon one click.

Yuck.

I'd personally rather watch a movie themed around that or read Shakespeare or some master non fiction, unless you need it to be TV

Whenever I'm trying to buy a product ... (Laptop, Camera, Headphones, Software ect...) I always struggle with the infinite amount of information and products online ... millions of youtubers & articles promoting different stuff. Then you go on amazon, you realize the product isn't so great from reviews .... back to square one. Right now I'm trying to buy a portable tripod for vlogging or simple photograph6 that's both budget but sufficient in quality & functionality (not too flimsy and can stand some wind, sturdy) I'm willing to spend up to about $50 on it, ideally find a bargain. What's the right way to do this ... what am I missing in my approach? I know I overthink it perhaps ... but also whenever I buy it I'm unhappy with my items due to low quality or not tailored to my needs.

@StarStruck nteresting,I'm going to DM you about mechanics of this, if you dont mind? Always open minded to any perspective to enhance my mental modal - #Life 3.0

@KH2 Well done for the self awareness bro I am probably just couple years older than you and I've also come to realize this within recent months & almost had a mental breakdown in realizing how much I have squandered my true gifts and joy of life in trying to persue money for moneys sake. Unfortunately, I have found some potentially very profitable methods to exploit the financial system which are endlessly tempting to continue perusing. I will still use these soulless methods to help bootstrap myself as I'm not too keen on slaving in a kitchen for another 3-5 years just to get some solid savings but I will either leave or minimize my souless activities to 10-20 hours per week for the start up capital and then spend the rest of my time into my passion business (content & course creation). I'm going to DM you however because if you've 10X'd your money, i'd like to know how since I'm still trying to bootstrap myself with any means necessary at this stage, thank you.

No you're right I love it, it was 1 of Leo's videos (or several) that introduced me to the idea of not overlooking the simple, especially with words. Playtime for me is just looking up definitions of words I already know (Intuitively but missing deeper distinctions) ... maybe I'm a nerd & wasting my time doing that, I tend to believe in it, whatever happens to the economoy or world war 3, I can always hold onto the brain & spirit that I built when I'm in the trenches!

So ... I have known intuitively since I created the thing that it would 100% fail if I didn't strategically structure it in a way that is efficient, seamless and enjoyable to use. I tried, but failed ... I have been taking notes into my commonplace book for about 18 Months now. The structure just doesn't work I haven't gained any value from it (Despite taking thousands of notes) I actually have 2 Commonplace books (1note 16 and 1note for windows 10) I mostly use 1 note for windows 10 > for no logical reason other than a stubborn habit, but it's actually pretty fucking awful I've been telling myself to "restructure my notebooks" like again and again over time, I've even spent hours of study trying to think how to restructure it, all to no avail, I wasted hundreds or even thousands of hours with this note book ... Now I realize maybe the only solution is to just start fresh. So I have tried reorganizing it but it's a pain in the ass ... I'm thinking to keep it all the notes there and then I can take what I find most useful and paste it into the new one. The problem for me is that ... I find a more blank looking notebook way more attractive to use, and I don't like having tons of book notes, video notes, random journals in there when I know that 90% of it is just noise. I think being minimalist and perhaps even keeping all the "book notes ect... " type of stuff all to my old notebook instead of lumping all this together as distinct sections and tabs ... because my brain fucking hates seeing like 20 different sections ("goals daily journal quick notes hobbies book notes exercizes blah blah ...." So making my 1 main new notebook completely about my life : max 3 - 5 sections like personal goals, biz ideas, relationships, finances ect... because ultimately that is the highest priority. I think this also saves brain energy as well because if the entire notebook is dedicated to my personal life, it's more intuitive to form & see links between my relationships, finances, business, ideas, personal goals ect.. Whereas visually hovering between completely unrelated sections like "my goals" to "misc" to "self help books" is just annoying & confusing, even if they're all sperate sections, it's just seeing it all there together is annoying. So I want to create a new commonplace book (1 Note 2016) and start fresh, now I can only write necessary and important stuff in there (For example my life goals, but this time not just write any random trivial goal, but write only what actually counts).

YES!! I'm with you man Yesterday I convinced myself to fap ... "should I do it?" > Reditt post .. "Hey i'm successful and I fap heheh, it's all pseudo science heheh" SO I fap. And I feel like shit, like I've been punctured & winded and castrated and like I need to pee and it kinda hurts, and then I also seem to get more unlucky and a cascade of bullshit. It's no fap time. I'l dleete my post once u seen ti so u can be tidy.

I HAVE NOT REALLY FOLLOWED UP ON THIS POST 6 MONTHS LATER. I was busy working and doing whatever distracting STUPID stuff. Now I am ready again!!! LETS FUCKING GO! I WAS CLOSED MINDED. MENTAL FLEXIBILITY IS CRUCIAL. I ONLY CONSIDERED ONE NOTE? WHY? HAS IT WORKED FOR YET? JUST COZ LEO RECOMMENDED IT BUT IM NOT HIM? MAYBE 1 NOTE JUST FUCKING SUCKS? DO I KEEP USING IT SEAMLESSLY? NO STILL GOT TONS OF NOTES UNSTUCTURED. EXPERIMENTATION AND FLEXIBLITY REQUISITE VARIETY OPEN MINDENESS PERSISTANCE TRY FROM EVERY ANGLE. I still need to create a brand new one note & extract golden nuggets from the old I should try out obsidian and give it a go .... dude I didn't even try it properlly wtf? Maybe that's better for me I should consider more simple note technologies like google keep I should consider finding an integration & continuity system betwee multiple of these? > G keep or voice reorcder > 1 note > obsidian ect.. Maybe each app has it's own benefit for different contexts. This last post by @Ayham I didn't even try your suggestion dude! WTFFF I DIDN'T EVEN LISTEN. TIME TO CHANGE THIS.

Yeah it's not intellect or creativity much but charisma & style that makes stands out; he's a masculine entertainer and if he wasn't entertaining no one would give him light of day, the funny mixed accent helps. That's so obvious and cliché not sure why you even felt the need to say this as if it's profound (very basic) and you've completely taken out of context what I said. You I didn't say "you should do all the things people want you to do" no I meant if you're doing shit with your life you don't have much time to be endlessly on these threads being an NPC discussing about Andrew tate repetiviely and it's more likely people are talking about or watching you becuase you're doing shit (whatever that is, can be as authentic and fulfilling as you want and it should be). But yes I get it different POVs u might be someone who doesn't like attention so much & so for u it's being that unknown fireman who saves lives great for you everyone's different I want fame & attention global respect because why the fuck not but that's just me so from my pov its very relevant Im tyring to be creator NOT Consumer, from my pov & people like me that qoute is very important.
