Are you sure? Have you researched all of the different types of water filters that are available? If you're thinking of something like a huge Berkey water filter... you can't move stuff and make room anywhere in your kitchen at all? Do you have room under your sink to fit three 2L bottles? Then you have enough room to hook up a reverse osmosis system directly to your tap. Where is this underground water coming from and have you tested it to make sure it's any better than tapwater? Do you have to carry your bottles with you out of the house a lot, or why not glass or metal bottles?

You can't be betrayed by the system because the system doesn't owe you anything. It simply lays out the rules and you can decide if you want to participate or not. If you wouldn't have got the job before paying for the bootcamp, and now you landed a job that will pay you a decent salary for several years and get you into the industry, then 5k is a small price to pay. In terms of networking, people often say "It's not what you know, it's who you know." Think of the bootcamp like networking rather than an education. You basically paid someone 5k to vouch for you and it worked. So it was worth it. Think long-term how much more you'll earn now that you've got a job in the industry and you're actually getting hired, vs just being frustrated and getting nowhere. If someone asked me to pay $5,000 to start a business that was guaranteed to generate $30,000 a year and continue to earn me money for the rest of my life, I'd be stupid not to take the offer, assuming they're telling the truth. You can complain that the way the system works isn't fair, but it won't get you anywhere. We all have to play within the rules of the game that we're in. Ask yourself if there is really a better path you could have taken, or if you made the optimal selection.

Once a year sometime around Christmas / New Years when things are naturally a bit slower, I like to redo the entire course and make sure my values and everything are still aligned. The course gives guidelines about how you're supposed to look at certain stuff every day for the first 90+ days I think

Only someone with enough money to survive has the privilege to say this lol. Are you going to 100% barter or be self-sufficient for everything you need?

Dude you live in India. Even in winter you only need to go out in midday or afternoon sun and get sunlight on your forearms for 10 minutes to get all the vitamin D you need. You get the ultraviolet-B radiation needed for the skin to synthesize vitamin D even when skies are cloudy and gray. If you leave your house at least once a day and aren't covered head to toe, you are already getting enough Vitamin D. Unless you're going through early menopause you don't need to worry about calcium. You get 20% daily requirements from 1 serving of beans or lentils, 20% daily requirements from one serving of spinach or leafy greens. If you eat relatively healthy you'll automatically get all the calcium you need without thinking about it. Unless you've had bloodwork done by a doctor and you're provably Vitamin D or Calcium deficient, don't assume you need to boost your intake of either one at all. If you're worried about it, see a doctor first. Don't overthink it and create problems that don't exist. If something feels off, Vitamin D and Calcium aren't why. For example, if you're worried about being away from sunlight for too long, then you probably also don't get enough exercise.

Why is it inherently selfish? Did God have any choice in making himself the only thing, or is that the only way it can be? Does God have any need for selfishness when he has infinite abundance? Would you hoard or worry about losing things if you could just make infinitely more? You can't feel selfish without a sense of scarcity, and God has no limits. Selfishness is a neurotic human construct. -
Living off $1,000,000 would be tough. If you earn 3% interest through investments per year, you could maybe live off $30,000 of interest per year without touching your principle if you own your own home and are frugal. Gotta figure about $6,000 just for property tax. $2,000 per year for water and electricity and natural gas. $2,000 for internet and phone. $2,000+ for car insurance and gasoline without any maintenance. Probably $5,000 in groceries for 2 people. That's already $17,000/year just on the basic necessities to live without pet food, clothing or shoes, cleaning supplies, dentist/medicine, entertainment. Assuming you never need to replace a furnace or roof or any other big expenses. In 40 years your money will be worth 20x less, so $30,000 a year will be more like $1,500 and you'll need to start eating into your initial $1M. It would cut it really close and be a stressful way to live out your final years. If you wanna live stress-free never having to worry about money, you probably need at least $10 mil Keep in mind this is still to live just an average life of a normal person who has a salary of like $50k/year, nothing extravagant at all. Living in a townhouse or a duplex with a 5 year old car. Your neighbors wouldn't know you were rich except the fact they never see you leave for work.

By putting a label like Jesus on it, it's automatically not the ultimate truth. -
Your honor, I can't be imprisoned because I am both the victim, perpetrator, and jury. You wouldn't lock up an innocent man, would you?

When I watch a movie or show with a sad scene, there's a very specific feeling associated with it. I wonder if that's what you're referring to. I can see how giving people that feeling could be a good thing. It's not just sadness, there's more underneath. At the same time I feel sad watching these scenes, I also feel inspiration, love, empathy, and other things. Maybe you are mistaking some other feeling for sadness, or maybe it's genuine sadness. Anyway I feel like there is lots of room for sharing sadness in society. People love to listen to sad songs... it helps get them through tough times. Tim Burton movies have a weird sad goth aesthetic and a very cult following. I say stick with it and figure out what your ideal medium and other details are and it might become more clear.

It's easier to critique a specific resume than to give general advice. Too many little formatting things to list, but easy to point out if you see it. I'd recommend removing all personally identifiable information (name personal contact details, school names, business names) and replace with generic text, then post a resume and we can take a look at it and give feedback. I think there are subreddits on Reddit or maybe forums devoted to resume feedback too.

Getting banned seems pretty difficult actually, you have to say something pretty egregious. I feel like a good proportion of people seem pretty stuck in groupthink though, especially in the Society/Environment/Government/Politics section. Even the open-minded and spiritually advanced have their biases. -
Fiverr on the low end if you have little/no income coming in (under $100.) 99designs on the high end if you can afford to spend a couple hundred dollars. You said it yourself that you don't understand the nuances, so there won't be a difference between a $100 logo and a $2,000 one. - How to find an artist that's a good fit? Look at their portfolio and find something similar to what you're looking for - What if you begin working with someone and they're just not producing material that feels aligned? It means you didn't explain what you were looking for well enough. Take 30 minutes or an hour to research some basic design terms, Google "How To Talk To Your Graphic Designer" and read all the articles on the first page of Google results. Then as long as the artist is decent and listening to you, there shouldn't be many problems. It's the equivalent of going to a barber and not knowing what length blade on their clippers you want them to use, or terms like fade or taper, and expecting to get the haircut you want. Most artists also allow for 1 - 3 revisions if it isn't exactly what you were looking for the first time. - Where would one find high quality graphic designers with affordable prices/good websites for this? High quality or affordable -- pick one. (The good news is most artists drastically undervalue themselves and logos are more of a commodity anyway) - Any general feedback/advice? YOU DON'T NEED A LOGO TO GET STARTED. THINKING ABOUT LOGOS AND MESSING AROUND WITH WORDPRESS SETTINGS FOR HOURS IS MEANINGLESS BUSYWORK BECAUSE YOU'RE SCARED TO ACTUALLY WORK ON YOUR BUSINESS. STOP PUTTING THE CART BEFORE THE HORSE. FOR A YOUTUBE CHANNEL THAT MEANS RECORDING AND EDITING VIDEOS. FOR INSTAGRAM IT MEANS UPLOADING PICTURES EVERY DAY. IN EVERY BUSINESS, ONE TASK DELIVERS 90% OF THE RESULTS. FOR A BLOG THAT'S WRITING BLOG POSTS. FOR A COMIC ARTIST IT'S DRAWING COMICS. ALWAYS PRIORITIZE CREATING YOUR DELIVERABLE PRODUCT FIRST. One of my websites I had no logo for the first year. Some of my other websites it's been like 3 years and I still haven't bothered getting a logo lol. No one cares about logos and flash, they care about good content.

Watching porn is enough to trick your brain into thinking you're having sex. You don't have to get love and belonging from a woman if you have a close enough connection with family and friends.

Yes, do the same for tobacco smokers as well. Grandfather in any existing current smokers who maybe didn't know any better when they started. But say something like any child born from 2022 onward, if they're smokers then they'll have to pay a premium for medical care or something. Better yet just make cigarettes illegal for anyone born 2022 or later, so there is no age they'll ever be able to legally buy them. Then they have no excuse to start.

Working as a programmer full-time and doing circus/gymnastics stuff as a hobby seems like the most realistic path. You could spend 20 hours a week doing both, but I think you'd end up with a mediocre result in both areas. Not impossible to combine both, but intuitively it seems very difficult to me and I can't think of any examples. Maybe working at a company where you program technology used in training for athletes.

Why is it only the most recent conquests of history we're asked to feel guilty about? All of human civilization is a constant story of one group taking land from another. The English are just the most recent people to inhabit England, the Germans are just the most recent people to inhabit Germany. We don't say oh those poor Romans or Ottomans or Prussians, we should respect this land that was formerly theirs or consider giving it back to them. Native tribes were warring and taking land from each other long before Europeans got to North America. Why should we feel bad about taking their land just because we were most recent and more effective at it? When people do those "land acknowledgement ceremonies" it almost seems like a slap in the face to Natives to me... it's like "Yeah, we acknowledge this is your land and we're on it. You're not getting it back though." If you respect the native history so much, why not sell everything you own that you've gained as a result of inhabiting this land and give it back to Natives, then move back to Europe or wherever your ancestral homeland is. Or try to get our Western government to give the entire country back to Natives and let them govern us? Like what is the solution? How many more generations of guilt and reparations before it's acceptable for us to move on and forget it? Or are white people expected to be perpetually ashamed of themselves forever?

He's too extreme, especially stuff about running on broken legs that will do more damage than good long-term. But most people are also too lazy and undisciplined on the other end of the spectrum. I think most people would improve their lives if they listened to him and even moved 20% in his direction. His advice is good if your life needs RADICAL transformation. Like if you're so obese that you're almost certain to have a heart attack in the next 5 years, it's probably better to take the Goggins approach and literally starve yourself down to a healthy weight as fast as possible, rather than stay on the path that you're on. Or if you're living in your 20s at home with your parents just smoking weed all day and haven't had a job in a decade. There are people who have accumulated so much bad karma from their past actions that extreme suffering is the only way to burn through it. For every extra calorie you ate in the past, it's a calorie in the future you'll have to go without to balance it back out. If you haven't exercised in years, that's a lot of exercise to make up for to get healthy again.

From the course: Pretty clear no. I mean, you could refer them to all of the various books and other content that the course makes reference to, and they could spend hundreds or thousands of hours trying to distill it themselves. Or they can just pay for the course. If you just give them little snippets from the course here and there, it's also not going to have the same effect as going through the entire process. It's put together in a specific order from years of Leo's coaching and own experience. If you give them just the worksheets without the dozens of hours of video that precedes them, they also won't get the same benefit. Trust me that people don't value free things, and if you give the LP course to someone for free they probably wouldn't take it seriously and do the exercises anyway.

I'm in NA and had a long-distance gf in EU I met online. Ultimately I moved over there for a couple years, then we both moved back to NA and got engaged, then broke up. I've never done the opposite direction where you have a local relationship and then it becomes long-distance, to me that seems harder since often being in physical proximity is a bit of a crutch for relationships. I don't know the statistics, but my gut says that the majority of long-term relationships even when people go off to university in the same country mostly don't last. Personally if I could go back in time and tell it to myself, the ability to travel and work in another country was pretty cool and gave me more perspective on the world. But ultimately it wasn't worth it in terms of the relationship. Most people I feel like only do long-distance relationships out of a feeling of scarcity. You don't feel like you deserve or could get someone equal or better. Be really honest with yourself and ask if she's truly your soulmate and the perfect person for you, or if you're just scared you wouldn't be able to find someone else. In terms of logistics -- do you know Russian or do you think you could learn it fluently enough to live and work there? Are you able to get a visa to work there? Could she as a student financially support both of you until you're able to find a job once you move?

I can't think of a time that someone in-person has asked me a question even remotely this deep in many years, so I don't know. Probably ramble about panentheism until their eyes glaze over. Dang, I can't remember any conversation in the past several years where people weren't just making small talk, talking about the latest Marvel movie or show on some streaming service, or something equally inane. That's a bit depressing.

Look at what farmers do to fatten up animals Lots of grains, sugar, very calorie-dense things like oils or nuts.

Bartending 100% Every woman in the club buying their own drinks has to talk to you, and it's an environment where it's acceptable to be a bit more flirty than what you'd normally get away with. You can just throw out hooks and if a girl bites, great. If not, she'll just brush it off as a joke and walk away, no big deal. But you get hundreds of chances per night. Women strike out too, and when it's last call and she has no other guy to go home with, an attractive bartender seems like a viable option. Alternatively, maybe being a musician and having groupies if you already have musical talent. I wouldn't devote years to it if you can't already play an instrument though.
