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.

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?

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.

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.

The con of being bankrupted through no fault of your own makes private healthcare appear insane to the rest of the world. Nobody should have their life and the life of their family ruined through no fault of their own, just because they happen to get cancer or something and don't have a job that has good insurance. I'm happy to have a 5% higher tax rate to not have to worry about that for myself or any of my fellow citizens. Along with a privatized American system comes a lot of devilry that bloats the entire system and makes it less efficient anyway. The hospital can charge you $1,000 for a pill that would cost $5 in any other country, and other stupidly inflated fees, because they know insurance companies will pay it anyway. When doctors and hospitals are working with the government, you pay what your drugs and procedures actually cost. You have the bargaining power of the state. Someone I know in Texas who runs his own business told me recently he pays $12,000/year for health insurance for him and his wife. You really think your taxes are going to go up THAT MUCH? Even if you work for a company that covers that cost, it's gotta be reflected as an expense in the goods they sell and passed on to the consumer somehow.

Don't try to self-diagnose too much. When you look up stuff online, it feels like everything applies to you. Like when you look anything up the internet tells you that you've got cancer. All internet quizzes I've done tell me I've got severe avoidant, antisocial, and narcissistic personality disorder plus mild schizoid and OCD lol... that's like 3/4 of them. If it's concerning you then talk to a professional. From what you've described it could just as easily be a mild autism spectrum disorder, you can't figure it out on your own. What you describe is also just the norm for lots of people nowadays because we were never socialized properly and spend too much time online, I fit the same description you give.

I'm married now and I regret not having sex with more women first. If you don't get it out of your system, you'll always be daydreaming and wondering "what if". You never got a chance to sleep with X or Y kind of girl. In the long term I think it will probably make you more predisposed to cheating. Unless you get an uncureable STD or a girl pregnant, I don't think you'll ever regret having more sex before settling down. Our education system does a huge disservice by scaring kids through sex ed to the point of traumatizing them against having sex. I had so many opportunities to have sex with girls that I passed up early on for fear that I'd catch AIDS or get her pregnant even with a condom the first time I had sex. Fuck that shit, it ruined my life and so much potential enjoyment. You aren't doing some moral thing, by the time you're 20 years old every chick has fucked at least a dozen dudes, probably more like 30. The body counts I hear from average-looking women is astounding. You're just kneecapping yourself. Don't try to be some noble knight, just fuck bitches.

In a future pass you'll assign a congruence rating for each value For now I'd pick the ones that most represent who you want to be in the future when you're living your life purpose (your ideal self, what you'd like to strive to make your life to align more with.) It doesn't matter so much if you're currently embodying it day to day or not, but they should still feel meaningful to you. Don't worry about the "how" of achieving it yet. When in doubt if you're trying to narrow down to 10 values, don't overthink it too much, just go with your gut. You might be coming back to the list to re-pick some later anyway.

Depends highly what country you're from, what your education is, what your career field is, how much money you have. If you're a high school graduate working retail, it'll be almost impossible to get a working visa, or to find a company willing to sponsor you. If you have like $500,000 to start a business in the US you can literally buy your way in. https://www.uscis.gov/working-in-the-united-states/permanent-workers/employment-based-immigration-first-preference-eb-1 Read all the categories on the side EB-1, EB-2, EB-3 etc and find one that applies to you. If none of them do, you're out of luck.

People generally don't laugh AT someone 1 on 1, so it's most likely to occur in a group. Watch how the other people in the group are interacting with each other in a subtle way. Usually 2 people will look at each other and start laughing. Or 1 person will look at you, then make eye contact with someone else who is already laughing, and then they start laughing. It's almost like they need to look to other people in the group to see if it's socially acceptable for them to laugh at you or not. It can be pretty subtle. Just pay attention to how they interact with each other. How they look at each other, and especially if they talk to each other or joke about you to each other almost as if you aren't there.

You can't be fully enlightened unless you're dead (Not advocating you should take that path, you have a finite amount of time to enjoy this life and infinity to be enlightened)

I don't buy into this scarcity mindset that you can't get laid in small towns or that only the top 5% of guys get dates on apps. I'm an average looking guy, bit overweight, not tall, don't dress fancy, and I got plenty of girls online in a city of 70,000. Maybe if you don't have a city larger than 40k within a 30 minute drive then you're in trouble. Even while in relationships in the past I'd troll these apps/sites and try to get girls to send me nudes just for fun or as a challenge, and it's not difficult at all. I have no doubt that I could get these girls to meet up and sleep with me if I wanted to take it that far, lots of them asked me themselves and I declined. I'm talking 6s, 7s, maybe 8s even. If a girl will send a pic of herself naked you're like 1 step away from sleeping with her. 9s and 10s are wife material and are hard to find, 7s are plenty good enough to just mess around with. A 7 was probably the most attractive girl in your class on average while in school. Online game is all mental.... being able to express yourself and be persuasive in writing well. Even manipulating to a degree. You need a half-decent picture to get your first couple messages read, but once you're in the door it's all about how good you can write. If your immediate local area isn't enough or once you run through all the local girls, set the max distance on your app to 100 miles (or manually change cities if it will let you and doesn't use GPS.) Some girls want to meet up right away, the majority don't. If you can get an online conversation going and text her regularly for 3-5 days without her dropping off, you're basically in a relationship once it's time to meet up. After the first in-person meeting if you don't come off weird or creepy she will fuck you, so put in 80% of the work online upfront especially if you aren't as charismatic or haven't developed the in-person social skills. Idk online dating is its own specific category and it's what I almost exclusively focused on, I'm guessing most people just don't master it to the same degree as night or day game where they talk to thousands of people. Still ended up meeting my wife at work though.

That's exactly the right path to take I think. Just put your head down, do the work, and take the abuse for now knowing that things will start to get better. If you can get at least 6 months or a year of experience for your resume, it should make it easier to move sideways to a similar position in another company. Unless your boss is infamous within the local industry for being an incompetent moron and it will reflect poorly on you, then maybe worth considering getting out now and starting over. All of this is almost like a rite of passage at most first jobs I think. Definitely if you ever work retail this is a very common attitude. The less skilled a job is, the more likely you're working with high school dropouts, the less room for leniency there is. Those sorts of people need to be told exactly what to do and when/how to do it or the workplace will quickly devolve into chaos. Kind of a vicious cycle though... you don't give people responsibility and the ability to screw up, they'll always need hand-holding.
