  1. No, I would prefer Phillips over Biden, very few people vote in Primary elections.
  2. Did you see they took out Russia's huge spy plane and another warship recently?
  3. Reuters https://www.reuters.com › europe Ukrainian drones hit Rosneft refinery in Russia - source 8 hours ago — Ukrainian drones attacked a Rosneft-owned oil refinery in southern Russia in the latest such strike on Russian energy infrastructure, What's the next step in the war? Ukraine is getting a batch of F16s soon. Is Russia too weak now to use tactical nukes in fear of NATO intervention? I Imagine Putin dramatically ratcheting up his tact, I see no other option besides retreat which seems unlikely for Putin, I do still think he could be removed from office anytime, I have no good explanation why other than a hunch though.
  4. Sleep also affects my eating habits, it can slow metabolism and magnify stress throwing my entire eating habits out of whack, if I don't sleep well it greatly reduces my appetite which leads to eating at a later inconvenient time and causing low energy and mood, a recipe for disaster. The basics work for me, trying to be satiated from healthy food that I like really curbs cravings, figuring out healthy food that I like and having it available when I need it, weekly meal prep is great for that.
  5. Peterson is only a warrior for money, he gets paid by conservative special interest groups a lot of money for his appearances.
  6. I think your logic is based on the false premise that open mindedness is lack of self. I agree dissociation is lack of self, but open mindedness could never be a true no self state. Open mindedness implies thought, thinking, which is self based, there's no 'thought' when there's no self to think. Open mindedness is broader concepts, not no concepts.
  7. Dissociation seems like the opposite of open minded to me, it seems more like over stimulation of beliefs actually, or the lack of mind altogether, complete closed mindedness.
  8. @thierry I think it's supposed to be used to understand or empathize with other people better. I haven't studied it or care for it but it doesn't seem like it should be said to have levels of consciousness but rather intellectuality, even 'tier 2' it's intellectuality not consciousness. Consciousness is awareness, tier 2 is just aware of different concepts, so intellectuality.
  9. Sadly though, conservative areas are so poor that there's little difference between being homeless and not. The type of Liberal you're referencing is not a dominant or established force in any city or State, it's still emerging. Maybe Boulder Colorado.
  10. I actually support keeping the electoral college. A few reasons why, one, take Republican states like Florida and Texas, if you eliminate the electoral college they could falsify votes and have more voting power than the College limits them to. Two, in theory the College should cover those who do not make it to the polls, usually people of similar beliefs live in the same communities or States, in theory.
  11. Should Biden have embraced his old age? I'm thinking he would have done better behaving more like a wise, reserved King, instead of trying to exhibit energy and vitality, think more Queen Elizabeth or President Xi. I know it's the opposite of what everyone says, but I think it would have gone better.
  12. I actually never paid much attention to Trump, but from what I remember he got wilder as time went on, especially by time the second election came around. I think Hilary lost because she's a Woman, 20 years too soon, even Liberal Boomers said they won't vote for a Woman.
  13. He ran out of money. Will Haley beat Trump? Elise Stefanik
  14. The Defense Post https://www.thedefensepost.com › u... Ukrainian Drones Strike Russian Air Defense Production Plant 8 hours ago — Ukrainian drones targeted a Russian arms factory Sunday night that produces the Pantsir-S air defense system This might get interesting when Ukraine gets the coming f16s
  15. I get sick of the both sides rhetoric, there are not two sides anymore, only lies come from the leadership on the right, they should get no air time from credible sources.
  16. I think a Psychopath could even be empathetic.
  17. Well, I think in some context it could be considered synonymous, but, there is currently social movement pushing empathy as an ideology, therefore it now makes it hard to distinguish wether empathy observed is from behavioral conditioning or from a sincere sense of care.
  18. I like sitting looking over prairies or water and just relaxing The Sun, the clouds, the stars, storms, snow Trail running Hiking Glass of water Yoga Sleep Shower Kicking the soccer ball around the yard or park Exercising Learning Good people Nice areas of the city Walking around a park, we have nice wooded ones here. Biking places
