  1. Exactly what I wanted. Thank you for your time, man. Very complete answer.
  2. Never take MDMA weekly. I would stick to 3~4 times per year, maximum. I personally don't take more than twice a year.
  3. I do think it is a bit of an overreaction sometimes, especially in more developed areas of our country. It is very hard to be a woman in the countryside, but I would say that the average woman lives a better life than the average man in the grand cities of Brazil. Of course, when you talk about the richest people, the figure flips. The LGBT situation is simply deplorable. I can't correlate our culture with the way we treat lgbt, especially trans people, here.
  4. I did this once when I took NBOH.
  5. Have compassion toward the ignorance of others. Many are compassionate toward yours.
  6. I guess the closeness to societal, economic, and environmental issues that left-wingers tend to have, makes them more anxious in general. Women and lgbt people walk around with a constant fear of men. Right-wingers tend to have the "grindset" mentality which leads them deeper down the hipomaniac route. That's my hypothesis. I heavily agree with the tendencies you pointed out.
  7. Give me all your sources or your feet will turn green.
  8. This is the journey of most young men in Brazil nowadays, myself included. I recommend Platinho's YouTube channel. He embodies this transition very well.
  9. Being spiritual is attractive in men and women. Having a spiritual ego, isn't.
  10. She was an NBC executive, after all. One insight that Musk fans seem to lack is that Elon Musk is one of the richest people in the world. Literally the richest one as of right now. He is the establishment. He doesn't want Twitter to improve freedom of speech, he wants Twitter to control speech himself. What is "freedom of speech"? There are numerous definitions of it. The one that will prevail at Twitter is the one that interests Elon Musk and his pockets the most.
  11. Didn't see anyone discussing this: https://www.theverge.com/2023/6/12/23758258/twitter-ceo-linda-yaccarino-first-employee-memo
  12. The worst-case scenario is the one where you live the rest of your life seeing dicks in clouds. I feel that your nervousness about the situation is worse than the situation itself.
  13. Do you study psychiatry? You seem to know a lot about meds.
  14. Come to Rio. I'll be your wing, and you'll be safe hahahahaha
  15. I wonder what a 30g mushroom looks like
  16. How long does a Salvia trip take?
  17. The cowboy-style detail wasn't on my mind, but whatever floats your boat.
  18. Go get 100 rejections under your belt. You can do it in a month in a crowded place. Just ask 100 girls out/numbers. After that, you handled one of the worst parts which is the fear of approaching. The rest you adjust accordingly.
  19. I don't think so hahahahahaha I just tried to write in a way that you wouldn't dismiss as you do with people that are text spammers or something like that. I'm just trying to say that messaging apps promote this kind of behavior.
  20. It seems you lack communication medium nuance. If I read a book or a dissertation with emojis, I'd partly agree with you, although even in these mediums you can find a use for them, if your linguistic prowess is good enough. Having a sense of humor and knowing when to relax is also a high-performing trait. I have often calmed my team through a well-placed joke or gif in challenging projects, which allowed people to stay more relaxed, increasing focus and attention to the matter at hand. Needless to say, if you're socializing, you shouldn't expect people to speak like a Victorian Age play, that's not mediocracy it is common sense. Texting serves the purpose of quickly conveying information. Formality is not necessarily the main focus. One emoji can express more emotion than half a paragraph of text. And given that texts are written only, the additional context can reduce ambiguity and improve meaning translation. Anyway, just food for your thought. You are completely right about leaving people that don't align with your values, though. Good luck in your future endeavors.
  21. Now talk about a bias. Dostoevsky is one of the most sensitive authors that ever touched this earth. Lex Fridman is someone you personally hate for some abstract reason and I think is getting in your way about judging things. Also, remember that guilt by association is another bias. Dostoevsky has never met Fridman. He died 2 years before Fridman was born.
  22. If AI takes all jobs, who's gonna get wages to spend money to purchase all of the stuff AI is producing? That's his argument in simpler terms.
  23. You are very paranoid.
