That’s a relief to hear. People like @Princess Arabia live in my head rent free with their preaching about how these feelings are all insignificant, resulting exclusively from our wacky thoughts. And that the body somehow doesn’t care about these feelings, or our thoughts on it, even though it gave us our human genome, so we should discard, or dare I say, repress these feelings. Curiously, would she keep that same energy and be fine [removed] as long as no serious injury remains on her body? Would she hold on to her seemingly transcendental understanding? If she was consistent she would.

What about humiliation? Does that need to be transcended? Some people don’t feel humiliation if someone deep faked sexual AI images of their daughter (yes there are people out there who wouldn’t feel humiliated), but I’m guessing you’d say the daughter and the father have to transcend their ego and feelings of humiliation?

I might visit the Middle East this summer. A part of me has been putting it off. Very nerve racking the prospect of reuniting with family that you haven’t seen in over 20 years.

Well said. Internalizing this idea that a woman can't abuse a man emotionally amounts to lying to yourself. A person's unwillingness to recognize it as such will have his realization when she behaves in that poisonous way towards his kids. Another point I wanted to add is that it's ironic that a man with feminist and gender equality attitudes think its different when a woman does it. I feel like this infantilizes the opposite gender. It implies a man should view a woman's abuse the same way he would if a child hurled the same venom at him.

Candle is Buck Edwards?

Which part of Syria are you going back to? And are you going back there permanently or temporarily?

Care to expand on this?

@gengar One of the worst things about their hypocrisy as it relates to their disdain for gender norms, is that they absolutely hate perceived repression of femininity in girls. But are pro repression of masculinity for boys. The extreme aspects of femininity can be protected. Like making it socially unacceptable to slut shame. But have you ever heard of making it unacceptable to fuck-boy shame? This word can be used to shame men for sleeping around, it’s not a word that is necessarily applied in accordance with its strict definition (being manipulative). Yet, fuck boys, as used to shame how sexual a man is, are an example of toxic masculinity (because the man sees women as objects for sex). But sluts are not an example of toxic femininity because as a matter of fact, the libs haven’t even defined what toxic femininity is yet.

Dude. That’s your uncharitable reading, stop doing that.

This video is a home run. The most insightful breakdown into Destiny’s lack of character and how little he actually cares about others.

He’s talking about the mod who got demoted, not Leo.

College isn’t meant to teach you the truths of life, it’s meant to give you the tools to think for yourself.

Can you be a Nazi and simultaneously pro-Israel? He's even friends with Netanyahu...

Somehow he's able to rationalize all of his behavior by coming up with elaborate rationale that somehow intellectually vindicates him. He's a brilliantly manipulative person.

I vouch for @Emerald and @Consept

You’re so silly. Off to the police cam videos we go.

I have a poor imagination, what is the relevance of the thumbnail?

I disagree. In the Middle East polygamy is permissible and a man can marry up to four wives. But realistically, what makes those relationships difficult, is that the females will begin to desire a monogamous relationship instead and want out. Even if you socialized everyone to be fine with non-monogamy, like in the Middle East, my feeling is that most females would still prefer monogamy. Or after getting into a non monogamous relationship, they’ll realize they prefer and want monogamy.

Yea. He's quite the character. Sadly, no one cares. I feel bad for Pxie but at the same time, I don't know why people continue to have such a poor read on Destiny. I guess it's their bias for wanting him to be the left's Joe Rogan. Whatever consequences come his way, he'll just absorb it, but I hope Pxie gets some sort of justice. And it's not just her and Chaeiry, I think he did the same to Melina. He also might've done something similar to Lauren DeLaguna last year, but I don't remember that situation anymore.

I work overnights so my sleep is in the mud sadly. But I do miss having a proper sleep schedule. There would be some improvement if I had better sleep for sure. And at this point, if I could, i would happily take any increment of improvement. Regardless, even with my current work schedule, I can improve on the sleep. This is something that I’m working on. But all these are things I got to stop neglecting.

Interesting share. You’re spot on. I do have a weak baseline mind. Ever since I was a kid I’ve had brain fog, and my parents were always alarmed at how bad my memory is. This could be because I have Klinefelter syndrome. My poor articulation is most likely a symptom from it. But yea I could never take you for someone who relates to struggling with articulation. Your verbal intelligence is strong. I’ll just have to make do with what I got. Wishing you continued health.

You gave me something to think about. Will consider it.

Thanks, I will continue to trust the process.
