Dunno. I'd speak to a dentist at this point besides just trying different products. Also, you probably shouldn't skip out on any of the steps just because it doesn't feel optimal. It is better to be a fluoride retard than fuck up your teeth.

Do you use an electric toothbrush? Electric is superior to manual. Also, are you using mouthwash? You can get those fluoride free as well.

Get help.

TBH, sounds like you just got sand in your vagina. None of these interactions are a big deal. Like, what are you afraid of? If someone is annoying, you don't have to immediately escalate to shouting. Just letting them know calmly but firmly will make most people back down because most people want to do good with others. The fact you want to fight immediately says more about you.

Bruh, the main reason why they are making a new GTA is because GTAV Online is drying up. All AAA are cash grab cringe.

I have a relative who's nearing 70 and he's watching softcore porn on Instagram reels all the time.

If you are thirsty, then go find a pond. Demographically align with places where there are more older people and socialize. If you want to try online dating then apparently Facebook is good for meeting older people. In my experience, older people are a bit more straightforward to socialize with if they have time for it. They play less games. Keep an eye out for tiger stripes and leopard print. These are the hallmarks of "cougars", older women hunting for young meat.

I personally prefer the experience of physically flipping through pages and making my way from cover to cover. And the ensuing library shelf has its own benefits. Also better sleep hygiene. Switching to digital is a bigger investment in the short-term. Personally, I don't read a lot, so it is simpler for me to just buy the book.

The only argument for high pricing I can see is that it makes the client take the information more seriously. People who aren't serious enough to spend a 100$ on self-help are weeded out. There is a lot of self-help out there that is more personality driven that target people who have money and are generally a bit older. High pricing alone can create the perception of good value and status. Your basically paying to be lead, which is the most expensive way of doing self-help. And arguably, if money is an issue your not the target audience. In contrast, Leo has hundreds of hours of free content but if you still absolutely must talk to him in person about your problems then yeah sure, a 100 dollars up front. In that case, you where exposed to free self-help content first and wanting an expensive coaching session is a want on your part. -
Pretty much this. Car-centric urban design and technology among other things erode the need to talk to people and by extension communities. We have more entertainment than ever and we can get all our base physical needs met via online services and never leave the house if we want to. We simple don't need each others like we used to.

Control optimizes wanted outcomes and minimizes unwanted outcomes. The majority of human enterprise is driven either by the pursuit of pleasure and/or the avoidance of pain.

The human mind is adapted for survival not happiness. Emotions are fleeting by nature and therefor shouldn't be our sole source of fulfillment. The solution IMO is to lead your life more for purpose, something grander than yourself, than just happiness. It is why many people have kids. Their children are their purpose.

Without a strong defense it is not possible to have a stable and functional state. I don't think arms manufacturing is inherently immoral with the exceptions of weapons of mass destruction IMO. It is more how those weapons are used and to who it is being sold to. Unfortunately, it is the norm to for western arms manufacturers to sell weapons to authoritarian regimes. The silver lining for me is that better weapons will keep your boys alive.

Get rid of your gun. People kill themselves on impulse so having a loaded gun is very dangerous if your suicidal.

The role of the military is not justice or equity but the monopolization of violence of a given territory. That's it. Control and security. The US military will always prioritize the security of its allies more than that of a non-ally. War crimes committed against Gaza isn't really the US military's problem to a certain extent. They are a non-western group culturally and politically. You have to appreciate that the military in a general sense is a hammer and it sees all issues as nails. It is not the full picture of a government. And with all that said, despite the US aiding Israel, they are the biggest contributor to abating civilian collateral when Israel conducts its bombings. But you can only do so much when you are not the one behind the gun.

What are your thoughts relative to 2D art and illustration as a career relative to AI?
-
It is just a matter of priorities. It is fine to feel upset. War is hell.

In your opinion.

You don't just abandon an ally over what amounts to social injustice essentially. The US is the primary custodian of the western world militarily, so it has to help protect democratic and western countries. The alternative would be a rescinding of western influence and other powers would fill in that vacuum, which is unacceptable when survival is prioritized.
-
Women are valued much more for their looks and fertility essentially while at the same time more sensitive to rejection and what people think of them. Aging makes you uglier so girls are going to be sensitive to something that'll potentially diminish their access to resources and belonging. Same with weight or the size of their head. Your friend was probably insecure about her age and you basically confirmed her fears by saying you would only date younger.

My thoughts: Don't throw pearls to swine (fuckboys will say anything). Be attractive and continue to take care of your appearance. Have great sex. Be supportive. Help take care of things. Communicate your wants in a clear and direct language.

I know that some people in Australia travel by foot and earn some money by working from farm to farm.

Human nature is to be lead by a charismatic leader, but you are right. It is basic self-awareness to take responsibility for what's true. -
Keep the 15, trash the rest. Never think about it again.
