Hard, and Leo has previously refused to add features like a "dark mode" to the forum saying it'd be too much work, so there's not a good precedent for such things. But on the other hand I think to be GDPR complaint for all EU users, they need some way to request their account/data be deleted. The forum runs on Invision Community (see the footer on every page of the forum). There is an Invision plugin you can pay $20 + $10/year for called "Delete My Account" that would allow users to request their account be deleted and then Admins/Mods can see the requests and finalize it: https://invisioncommunity.com/files/file/7611-delete-my-account/ . But not really that much more functionality than just DMing Leo and asking directly. Atm there's only about 1 new person joining the forum each week, so I don't know if there's enough demand to warrant paying even $20 for such a feature. Let alone investing dozens of hours custom coding the feature in. Another big problem is that a bunch of people who've previously requested their account deleted end up regretting it and wanting to come back, and it can mess up a bunch of stuff on the back-end like their ability to send private messages when their account gets reinstated. If you make it as easy as clicking a button in a fit of rage, you'll get a lot more people deleting and regretting it. What would be nice is something where you request deletion, then you have to not log into your account for 30+ days before the deletion actually occurs. That would filter out the people who impulsively ragequit and then change their mind. But that's unlikely to happen too.

Real conspiracies that actually happened: – Project Sunshine (US Government used 1,000+ bodies of dead kids and babies for nuclear tests without consent from parents) – MK Ultra (Mind control experiments) – COINTELPRO (US Government infiltrating, co-opting, disrupting political organizations) – Watergate (Republican president organizing people to break into DNC headquarters) – NSA Mass Surveillance (PRISM) (Edward Snowden stuff) – Tuskegee Experiment (US Government infected black people with syphilis without consent and then allowed them to die even after a cure was found) – Government poisoned alcohol during prohibition – Cancer-causing polio vaccines – Bayer Medicine caused AIDS and they kept it on the market even after finding out – Operation Paperclip (Bringing Nazi scientists to America to help develop rockets, chemical weapons, etc) - Project Mockingbird (US Government spying on journalists) – FBI spied on MLK – Operation Snow White (Church of Scientology infiltrating all levels of government) – Big Oil pushed climate change disinfo – Big Tobacco lied about cancer – Nayirah Testimony (Fake news about Iraq) – #FreeBritney movement (Britney Spears basically held hostage by her family) – US Government violated an embargo and then used the proceeds to fund a rebel group (Iran-Contra Affair) – Bohemian Grove (Rich people gathering in the woods to do weird rituals), Bilderberg, Trilateral Commission, etc

Fat is fat at a molecular level and how your body handles it and turns it into energy, if we're talking at like a Krebs Cycle turning lipids into ATP bottom level. Shouldn't matter much if you're eating similarly fatty cuts of beef, pork, lamb, or whatever else. Pork actually has more unsaturated fats, so it's higher in Omega 3. But still nowhere as much as fish. If you want less fat then sub for chicken or turkey. But saturated fat does not clog up your arteries and cause heart attacks like previously thought during the low-fat craze. You can eat a high fat+protein and low carb diet and have high cholesterol and be fine. It's when you add too much carbs/sugar and it causes inflammation in the arteries, basically little micro-cuts where plaque can start accumulating.

Best all-around person that actually exists (face + body + personality, political leanings, etc, full package), either Lauren Southern or Shoe0nhead would be top-tier. Ideal face+body I've seen on a pornstar: Dillion Harper, Caprice, Evelin Stone are pretty much a 3-way tie, each has their pros and cons. Either blonde or brunette is fine. Super petite/slim body (where she might be 25 but you wonder at first if she's really 18+) but with C or D cup. Not a butt guy so doesn't factor in. Short, under 5' and less than 110 lbs ideal, no more than 5'6". A thick/chubby girl isn't out of the question though as long as she carries it well and not just rolls of fat. Ideal family background Russian, Czech, Polish, or most Eastern European countries, maybe Japanese. (No 1st generation immigrants with annoying accents.) 18 - 32 Submissive with me but strong personality with everyone else and in her career. But can step up and make decisions when I'm being indecisive about what to have for dinner, etc (knows me better than I know myself.) Somewhat paradoxically, also kind of a mommy-gf that's super caring and supportive, drives me everywhere, comforting, etc. Encourages me to be the best version of myself, but can read my mind and knows when I want feedback and when I'd interpret it as being naggy. Personality-wise I've been with girls that are extroverts and excessively positive and bubbly, as well as super cynical with dry humor introverts, I'm not sure if I have a preference one way or the other. Probably an extrovert just for outward appearance and perception by others. Earns at least $100k/year, enough to support both of us if I just don't feel like working, or just want to work on personal projects for years that won't earn an income, and has to be okay with that. No vegans, no gluten-free or other really restrictive allergies. Vegetarians who will occasionally bend the rule and have a burger, or someone who eats chicken/fish but not pork/beef is ideal. Decent at cooking/cleaning and general housekeeping stuff. Doesn't have to be great, just not clueless. No severe mental illness (bipolar, schizo, debilitating depression). Strong genetics, no significant genetic diseases in her family.) Limited need for socializing, won't be dragging me out to group events every week. No male friends. I like a clingy girl with abandonment issues that is constantly begging me not to leave her and needs constant reinforcement that she's mine. Ideally her mom is hot, as that's probably the best predictor that she will also age well. Turn offs: Any body hair (she has to be meticulous about it), more than 1 or 2 tiny tattoos, smoking, drinking, drugs, 5 or more previous sexual partners

Instead of asking "Is it racist to have sexual preferences for certain race?"... ...I think what you're really asking is "Is it bad to have sexual preferences for certain race?" Racism is defined as: prejudiced against or antagonistic toward a person or people on the basis of their membership in a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized. Prejudice is defined as: preconceived opinion that is not based on reason or actual experience You like what you like, and don't like what you don't like. Majority of that is social conditioning you passively absorbed as you were growing up. Society and the people around you informed what you found attractive or unattractive. Now those prejudices are cemented into your brain and it's not something that you can change. Is it racist? Yes. Is it bad to feel how you feel? No. You have no choice in the matter. Accept that maybe there are situations where you can be racist and it's not a bad thing. Same as... homophobic is defined as: having or showing a dislike of or prejudice against gay people. If you have a prejudice against gay sex and don't want to have it, by definition you're homophobic, and it's also totally fine. The same is true for gay people, they're prejudiced and cis-phobic about having sex with people of the opposite sex.

Being an electrician or even a plumber is enough to get you into countries like Canada on a skilled worker visa Look at all the high-demand jobs on this list, they really want people with these to come: https://www.immigration.ca/fast-track-high-demand-occupations

90% of people aren't at a higher level of consciousness and never will be. Only 10% of people in the world are spiral dynamics stage yellow, and even the majority of those aren't enlightened/awakened. 90% of people will be corrupt devils if you give them near-unlimited power. Elon Musk isn't a perfect role model, but he's a good enough role model for the era he lives in. I'm not above it. I know I'd do horrible things with that amount of money and power. The temptation is way too great. Hell, most people would do horrible things even if you just made them the admin of a large Discord server.

Go to your family doctor (or a walk-in clinic if you don't have one) and ask to get referred to a psychologist for evaluation. For your health problems, I would just talk to your doctor about them too. They can run some basic blood tests to make sure you're not deficient in anything. There's not much extra benefit to knowing whether it's the result of the C-section, not being breastfed, etc. It's just the situation you're in now, so work with it as best you can at present. I feel like I'm somewhere on the autism spectrum as well (probably what used to be called aspergers, although that's not a formal diagnosis any more.) But since I'm in my 30s I don't know if I would really benefit from getting tested and finding out for sure. It's more just like my parents and teachers dropped the ball for not recognizing it sooner, but I've largely just worked through it myself the hard way.

With a single word Set a timer for 10 minutes and make yourself write with no distractions. If you feel like continuing, set it for another 10 minutes and keep going. If not, just stop there and don't burn yourself out on it. Better to write for 10 minutes a day than 0. Bestselling author Neil Gaiman has a rule for himself, he's only allowed 2 options -- He can sit and write, or he can sit there and do nothing. But he can't sit there and do anything else. Not look at his phone, not even get distracted looking out the window or anything. Just sit and look at the paper (or the cursor blinking in Microsoft Word.) Eventually if you sit and do nothing long enough, you'll get so bored that writing seems better in comparison There's 2 main types of writers - Pantsers and plotters. Pantsters "write by the seat of their pants" aka make it up on the spot as they go. Plotters methodically plot out what's going to happen in each chapter in advance, then you're basically just filling in the details and dialogue as you go. I'd recommend trying both, but plotting is usually good for beginners, or you usually hit a point in the middle of the story where you don't know what to do next. I'd recommend starting with Derek Murphy's 1-page novel plot outline: https://www.creativindie.com/wp-content/uploads/2018/10/plot-outline.pdf , it's pretty similar to the hero's journey as well though. For inspiration, look at some of the most prolific writers in history, maybe read their autobiographies and see how they did it. L. Ron Hubbard wrote over 1,000 books (plus started a religion .) Isaac Asimov wrote over 500 novels. Stephen King has written over 60 novels (some of them thicker than the freaking Bible) plus 200+ short stories. I actually recently decided I'm going to read through all 62 of the original Goosebumps books written by RL Stine (he's written over 450 books in total), summarize + review them all before the end of the year, then probably next year set myself a goal of writing 20 - 50 similar children's horror books following a similar pattern to him. At his peak, he wrote a Goosebumps book in about 2-3 days of plotting and 8 days of writing. At one point he was writing one Goosebumps book and one book from another series of his called Fear Street each month. So I'm gonna read every book he wrote from 1992 - 1997, figure out what works and why, improve on what I think could be done better and modernized for this generation of kids, read his autobiography, listen to every interview of his that I can find on Youtube, and then I'm gonna replicate it.

If you are age 25, the chance of having a kid with Down syndrome is about 1 in 1,250. If you are age 35, the risk increases to 1 in 400. At 40, 1 in 100. By age 45, it is 1 in 30. Women aged 45 and over have a 53.6% chance of a miscarriage vs 25 - 29 it's only 9.8% Women over age 40 are 51% more likely than women aged 25-29 to have a child with autism. Women aged 35-39 are 31% more likely than women aged 25-29 to have a child with autism. Women aged 30-34 are 12% more likely than women aged 25-29 to have a child with autism. On and on... everything that can go wrong with having a kid starts becoming hugely more likely once the woman is over 30. Fertility starts to drop drastically after 30 - 35 as well, before you even have to worry about the problems above. Not to mention it's hard chasing a kid around even when you're in your 30s, losing sleep is harder on your body, everything's harder. If you have your kid at 40, then by the time you're supposed to be running around playing soccer or playing catch with them you're 50 and may have health problems and mobility problems already, you're closer to a grandpa than a father. The chance that you might die before you see your kid graduate from college or have your grandkids becomes a real concern.

People say Elon is very intelligent, a strategic thinker, a hard worker, etc. I don't know if anybody holds him up as highly developed, whatever that means. How many of us, if faced with practically unlimited power, money, and the ability to sleep with other billionaire's trophy wives, wouldn't succumb to the temptation? You're lucky if the worst someone like Elon Musk is doing is having consensual sex with other adults. He could be going to Epstein island, making a sex cult, or creating his own private military to take over a small island country and install himself as dictator. Why are you trying to hold ordinary business people to unrealistically high standards? Nobody holds Elon Musk up, he lifted himself up.

I see him as a meta-ironic Sam Hyde type figure. You can't agree or disagree with him because it's almost impossible to know what he actually believes, unless you sat down with him off-camera for an extended period of time. He's always in character even when you think you're seeing his authentic self. I find his videos both enjoyable and frustrating at the same time. That's the point.

If you want to stay in building houses, I think you need to eat shit and work for somebody else for a few more years to learn the basic skills you need. Try to find a better employer where you can be an apprentice and focus on learning one specific skill like concrete, electrical wiring, plumbing, bricklaying, roofing, ceramic tiling and flooring, painting, framing, etc. Whatever one appeals to you most, or whatever one you can get. Anything but just general manual labor where you don't learn a real skill. Then after 2 - 3 years of doing one of those tasks fulltime, you can start working for yourself and try to get subcontracted by a builder But I would also question your limiting beliefs about why you can't do organic food in your country, and why anglo countries are totally unreachable.

Yes to all, depending how much work you want to put in, and what you want to get out of it. This is an egotistical, kind of an absurd thing to say. Beginners have no idea the kind of fine details that go into the art of a craft, like making a bestselling book, hit song, or video game. There's a 99.9% chance you don't have enough pure natural talent and luck to knock it out of the park on your first try. If you don't know the basic plot structure to follow, pacing, storytelling then you're almost sure to fail. Philosophy has nothing to do with storytelling, it's just a lesson or takeaway you can add into the overall story as a flourish. If you start with philosophy and try to mold a story around it, it's gonna be dry and feel forced. If you haven't read a bunch of books in the genre and picked up on all the main tropes that readers of the genre expect, they're going to eviscerate you in the reviews. If you want to write an averagely decent book and make a couple thousand dollars, sure. But to think you're going to release your first book with no previous education or training in creative writing and have the quality similar to Dean Koontz or Margaret Atwood, that's almost delusional. Then invite yourself. People aren't going to reach out and hand you everything, no matter how good your book is. Email 100 small-to-medium-sized podcasts related to your book and if 1 emails back to say yes, that's a success. Then use that social proof to build up to being a guest on larger and larger podcasts. Although I would question whether interviews are really an effective approach or if it's just an ego thing, wanting to be a famous author and interviewed. What's the crossover between people who listen to a particular podcast and will actually read your book? Or is that 10 hours you'd spend arranging an interview and 1 - 2 hours actually doing it better spent making a ton of social media posts or something else? Maybe this is too negative of a reply though... in the future maybe I should just start saying nothing and let people figure it out on their own, instead of shattering their dreams.

Stop listening to these other crabs in the bucket trying to hold you back. If you've got the money to do it without it being a financial burden and it'll make you happier, just do it. Even if you have to spend $10k a year on plastic surgery every single year, but it puts you in a position where being more attractive makes you more confident and helps you to get jobs, promotions, and raises where you earn more than an extra $10k per year than you otherwise would, plus a better partner, etc then it seems worth the cost and pain.

Why are you projecting the spiral dynamics model onto math? How can mathematics be stage orange or stage yellow? Like you just don't want examples with dollar signs in them or what? Do you think there's stage orange calculus and stage yellow calculus?

The blog posts definitely give me the vibes of somebody who takes way too much psychedelics and then starts seeing patterns and connections everywhere that don't exist, almost in schizophrenic paranoia "the elites are beaming me messages through the TV" territory. Does that one romantic comedy and HBO series really stand above any others as something truly profound that you should watch hundreds of times and contemplate deeply? Or is he just high af watching Netflix and everything looks profound? Maybe this is the 10% shit he warned that he'd be incorporating into his teachings as a test for us

I'm curious if you've ever been politically open-minded enough to deeply explore the arguments behind something like holocaust denial for yourself, or if it's something that seems so absurd to you that you just take it as a given or not worth your time, similar to flat earth.

Put a photoshopped screenshot from your online banking with $17,342,987.39 in your account on your vision board. Bam, that's your new bank account.

You're deliberately operating below your full potential. The reason your life sucks and you're unhappy is you. Stop being weak and lazy and do better.

It might be superficial but it's also more inconvenient than you'd expect. If you aren't operating from a place of scarcity, it seems fine to me to discriminate against potential partners just based on accent. It's a burden you don't need. I'm Canadian and dated (and lived) with a British woman for like 5+ years. Even after years you're still constantly not understanding what they say and having to ask them to repeat themselves, it's super annoying. And that's AFTER basically learning a whole new dialect. Going from American English to British English there are HUNDREDS of unique words and substitutions (some regional that even other British people don't understand) that you have to pick up and clarify over time as they pop up. And that's two people that speak the same language... I can't even imagine being English and dating a German person, dealing with grammar problems and mispronunciations on top of that. Maybe I am just that superficial though. I'd probably turn down a girl with a large and ugly enough birthmark, even if everything else was perfect, if I couldn't get over it.

If you're consistently eating healthy and exercising now so you think you can maintain it, I say go for it. I'm probably in the minority here because I'd also say get fillers, eyelid surgery, or whatever else you need to looksmax and feel more comfortable and confident. Maybe try Cryolipolysis first though since it's non-surgical and less invasive. I do worry that you'll gain it back, or maybe a lot of fat is sitting on your organs so liposuction won't fix the problem. Not sure what the info on that is.

You're describing everything I hate about traditional schooling, mostly the rote memorization of facts for just long enough to pass tests and then forgetting them. You would probably do better learning by doing. For example if you're interested in frogs, go out to a lake and observe them and catch them, to discover for yourself, instead of just reading facts in books. Career-wise you probably want to focus on something practical to do with your hands, like woodworking or some other trade. Where someone can stand next to you and apprentice you, without having to spend hours reading about it in books. Lots of people are "dumb" in a general intelligence sense that they don't know a bunch of random useless facts. But ask them to troubleshoot and fix a car, or whatever their area of genius is, and they can work miracles.

If you're under 30 and from Australia, Canada, Monaco, New Zealand, San Marino, Iceland, Hong Kong, Japan, South Korea, or Taiwan you can go between any of those countries with a Youth Mobility Scheme visa. That's how I moved to England for 2 years. You just need about £2,500 in savings and you're pretty much guaranteed. Other EU countries might have similar arrangements It's worth doing it the right way, otherwise it'll be nearly impossible to get jobs except sketchy ones where you're paid cash under the table.

Looking back at it retroactively now that I'm self employed.... when I was working in an office, I'm sure that the #1 thing I could've done to move up the corporate ladder much more quickly would've been to be much more outgoing and social. From How To Win Friends and Influence People.... saying someone's name and being genuinely interested in them is HUGE. Only 5 - 10% of people are truly miserable inside and don't want to make conversation. Then other 90%+ are like you, they want to make conversations and have deeper connections with people but they're afraid of being the one to start and look weird or awkward. If you can get past the discomfort and be the one person that is always happy and talking to everyone, it gives you a massive advantage. With everyone... coworkers, managers, friends, strangers. It attracts people to you like a magnet and makes everyone want to be around you. Try striking up a conversation with someone in a low-risk setting where you'll never see them again... like a waiting room, or a coffee shop. See if you can get everyone in your general area involved in the conversation, and watch how much happier and more connected it makes everyone. You can choose to be that light that brightens everyone else's day. I know it's scary. It's scary for everyone. But it's literally a superpower. And once you see how effective it is, it's not scary any more. It's very rarely that something will go wrong because you're genuinely nice to someone and interested in them. Worst case is that some people are so shy that they just give 1-word responses and let the conversation die because they can't get over it. But a good "people person" can even bring that sort of person out of their shell with a little prodding.
