some rando waves at you on the street and even if you don't know said rando you wave right back. Also michelin star restaurants.

Dell XPS is back baby! Don't know about those intergrated graphics tho...M5 macbook air to come out soon as well...

Yeah, that's a good way to see it 👍

What a $**t show. I've been thinking past few days to quit the news for good because all this constant nonstop devilry running rampant really get you down, makes you lose hope in humanity. 🫤 Since Trump has come to office it's been non stop in your face all the time. At least previous administrations had the decency of hiding all their corruption sparing us all the drama, not like this fatass who brags proudly about every corrupt thing he does. Note to self: I really must quit the news.

I don't know enough about this conflit to comment. I will read all your views on this thread and keep up with news. *Oil companies coming in to rebuild Venezuela sounds very much like the old tried and tested strategy of economic hitmen and modern colonialism. Trump and his cronies in the oil sector win big time while the people of Venezuela get laiden with debt for the "rebuilding" these oil giants do (which will be just enought infrastructure to maintain oil flowing to the US) and that will take Venezuela forever to pay off. The venezuelans will be offered minimum wage slavery jobs by US corporations and remain in a perpetual state of poverty and reliance on the US to upkeep the aging inneffient structures they end up building.

I had to force myself to read it at points for sure.

In regards to the post on robert Greene, I read the laws of power, laws of human nature & the art of seduction maybe 6-7 years ago. They where really direct, insightful and hardcore revealing all the tricks in human games. Thanks to Robert Green's books I'm much better able to read the actions of others and see through people's BS. However a better title would be "rules and tactics of the games humans play" for his book series and not laws. I liked the books but was also really put off by them because it shows you how to act, cheat, manipulate, disguise to get what you want. Truth, being truthful, loving, caring, kindness...none of that $**t, you'll be eaten up by all the wolves.

Woa, ozzies know how to throw a party!

I mean I don't know, but one thought experiment I ran a while back for this exact question was this: If this is all god amusing himself, getting lost in a infinite dream, and all of history is happening right here right now in the mind and imagination of god what would be more fun than a game in which slowly but steadily level up? Level up in your congnitive, spiritual, moral and humanitarian faculties? As you move through the eons of time and space here in the present moment you play a game which at first you're no better that a brute monkey clubbing his percieved enemies with a club and you end up as a bodihsatva under a tree in peace and harmony with all and basking in the understanding of your true nature...only to then being the whole process all over again for infinity. Oh what joy! What a thrill! From a human lens there is all this suffering, death, war, abuse, but this is all percieved from a limited, small, biased, survival prioritizing perspective (if you cut an arm it bleeds). If you are infinite (god consciousness at the moment of death) there is no suffering. All's good baby! Yet we are humans right now and we have no choice but to engage in all the different games of the reality we have been incarnated into. Many, many different games for 8 billion humans on earth. These are just my mad man ramblings here...feel free to ignore.

Sounds cool dude, let us know what your experience was like!

Watched this one back in 2019. The movie started off innocently enough and got really dark towards the end. It's the only movie I've ever switched off because of how disturbing and emotionally uncomfortable it got. The funny thing is those kind of things happen in the real world to real people all the time. This movie really touched me emotionally as I had an ex girlfriend who went through a very similar process of selling her body to men in power to get ahead in life willingly yet probably not fully aware of what she was doing. It absolutely breaks your heart when you see someone you really love go down such dark paths. From her developmental stage that's just how the world worked and that's how you got to the top...now years later she hates men and is full of resentment towards them, and who can blame her. Very disturbing movie indeed. Another tv show I had to eventually stop watching as well was Mr Robot towards it's final seasons as again the show touched on very uncomfortable truths about power relations at work between females employees and their male bosses.

All Studio Ghibli works. Slice of life anime is my favorite genre for movies and tv shows. I like how slice of life celebrates the ordinary life and shows the beauty of just living simply, loving friends and family and being in harmony with your environment. Others anime include: - Your lie in April - Your Name - The boy and the beast - Summer wars - March comes in like a lion - Assassination Classroom - the disastrous life of saiki k I haven't watched an anime in 5 years or so though. The last one I saw was: The boy and the Heron by Studio Ghibli in the cinemas few years back. I like Studio Ghibli so much I kept the movie ticket as a souvenir 😅

Welcome to the most polluted country on earth... Bangladesh. I can image Bryan Johnson having a literal mental breakdown if he had to visit this place:

On the topic of corruption... Smart TV's: You spend lot's of cash on a nice big samsung 4K OLED TV and you wonder why the heck they lag so much.
