I, for one, welcome all current and future gosh darn diddley restrictions. 2022 - No more swearing 2025 - Celibacy & Abstinence Explained (aka How To Make A Girl Squirt Part 2: WHY YOU SHOULD NEVER DO IT) 2027 - How The Right Is Right Part 6 2030 - Leostan caliphate implementation is complete. Men and women are no longer allowed to chat in the same forum threads, to maintain MAXIMUM SPIRITUAL PURITY.

I bought his ebook and did his reboot diet for a week. - By the end, you will absolutely hate juice and vegetables in general. I backlashed hard afterward and couldn't eat certain vegetables for weeks without gagging. Some of the juice recipes he provides are okay, some of them I had to really choke down. - At some point you will fuck up your electrolyte balance and have headaches, light-headedness, flu-like symptoms, diarrhea (yes, the lack of fiber will have you shitting constantly, and there's not much to come out except the liquids you put in). Usually around day 2 or 3 for me. You need to have coconut water, pickle juice, and/or powdered electrolytes on hand to recover and not feel like death. Sometimes you fix your electrolytes and still feel like shit, might just be detox. - It takes a fuckload of fruits and vegetables. I filled a shopping cart and spent probably $100 just to buy enough for 3 days worth of juicing. - It's time-consuming. Cutting and juicing all your stuff and then cleaning out your juicer will take you at least 15 minutes each time, 3x a day. If you work, it's just not practical. You don't want to take a juice for lunch that you made in the morning, and has been oxidizing for half a day. - Do not try to use a blender instead of a juicer. Green smoothies are even more disgusting than green juice, because the fiber's still in there and it's like you have to chew the liquid before swallowing. I found the Fat Sick & Nearly Dead documentary really inspiring. If someone is morbidly obese and it's either they do this diet and change their life around, or face diabetes and eminent heart attack or stroke, and they are taking it super seriously, then I think it can be done. But the average person doesn't have enough willpower go from eating Standard American Diet to juicing 3x a day. After doing it, personally I'd rather just eat whole vegetables than try to combine it all into disgusting juice. I'd much rather just eat like 6 carrots, 4 celery sticks, 2 oranges, 5 beets, and a fistful of basil separately over the course of an hour instead of mixing it all up. If I had to do it again on a bet or something, I'd at least start by cutting carbs and processed food out of my diet and eating only whole foods for at least a week first, then go down to only eating salads for a day or two, and then start juicing. Otherwise it's too much of a shock on your body.

Money is a convenient means of storing your labor in a standardized and socially agreed-upon way that's easy to exchange and subdivide into small units, so you don't have to always barter goats directly for clothing. Jobs sucks because this geezer called Da Boodah or something says life is suffering. All you have to do is stop it is remove all desire and attachment EZ.

Depends totally on the context. Life is about a lot more than sex and relationships. If I'm going to the wilderness to build a cabin, bringing a dude has a lot more intrinsic value to me than bringing a woman. On average (yes I'm stereotyping), he'll be stronger, more stamina, and he'll do the hard work with less whining. If I'm going to go walk through the hood or get in some criminal situation, having a guy beside me who can watch my back has a lot more intrinsic value to me than a woman. A woman is a liability in lots of situations. If I'm a cop or deployed in the military, I want a man fighting next to me. If I'm in the gym working out, I want the masculine energy of a guy hyping me up and cheering me on, not the distractions of a woman. If I want a beautiful, loving, empathetic partner and mother for my children... then in that scenario, women have high intrinsic value to me. Man's intrinsic value is a graph that gradually increases through his life as his wealth, intelligence, strength, skills, looks mature, until age 50 or 60. A woman's intrinsic value is strongly tied to their looks, peaks around 16 - 18 and has a steep dropoff after age 30. Especially if they use their looks as a crutch and never develop a decent personality or skills. If you're a guy in your teens or 20s, sure, women hold most of the power and value when it comes to dating. But by the time you're age 40, the tables flip completely. If you're a semi-successful guy, you can have the pick of the litter. Not only women in your own age range, but you can dip back down and pick up the same kinds of women who rejected you in your 20s.

I don't know about iPhone, but on all Android phones I think it's standard now that they come with Dark Mode, Eye Comfort Shield, and Extra Dim settings in the pull-down menu. Eye Comfort Shield removes the blue light from the screen and is mostly what you want. At night I turn all of those settings on and put my brightness as low as I can, without straining to read the screen. For your PC, you can install Flux for free to do the same, removes the blue light from your screen and gives it a more yellowish tint. You can set it to gradually come on as the sun goes down based on your time and the time of year. Just those 2 settings is going to eliminate 90% of your blue light, and much less of a hassle than putting on blue light glasses.

1080p is plenty good enough. Most people's internet isn't even good enough to watch videos in 4k. Don't procrastinate worrying about gear or quality. Nobody's first video is their best. Just start making stuff so you can begin the process of improving. If you were serious about making money from it, then I'd have courses to recommend to learn it all in one package, in the right order, as efficiently as possible. But if it's just a hobby that you don't plan to ever get a return from, then I can't really recommend that. So instead you're just going to have to watch tons of Youtube tutorials and piece it all together yourself. It's going to be an ongoing process for months and years. Learning how to talk to the camera, how to make thumbnails, looking at audience retention graphs to see what you're doing wrong and where people are dropping off, which of your videos perform best, what topics are hot in your niche... You can't just plan everything and put your first video out and have it be perfect. For inspiration and people to emulate, check out: @Average Investor - https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCLKxT3rSbBUMTOymk0C-DZQ @BipolarGrowth - https://www.youtube.com/c/BrandonRohe I think FitPhilosopher is also a member here but idk his forum username - https://www.youtube.com/c/FitPhilosopher None of these guys use fancy editing or sound effects or record in 4k. They also don't make several-hour-long videos like Leo. But they all still make consistently great, highly-informative content. You only need a bare minimum in terms of video and audio quality (mostly audio), and the rest is all about whether you're providing valuable content in an engaging way with good delivery.

There are tons of great dedicated podcast hosts... Buzzsprout, Podbean, Libsyn, Transistor, RedCircle... even Anchor (owned by Spotify) which will do it for free. Never host podcasts on standard website hosts. If nothing else, they're way slower for downloading and it will be a worse user experience. I'm honestly surprised your web host hasn't kicked you off due to the extra data usage lol. I only know one guy who hosts all his podcast files himself (after he got big enough that his regular web host cut him off), and he pays thousands of dollars a month for servers. I feel like you can get the same results from any of the podcast hosts listed above, for like $10 - $30 per month. Depending on the payment model, some might be a big upfront cost to move everything over (like $2 per hour of audio), but then a low flat fee every month regardless of # of downloads. Most of them have built-in analytics/stats dashboards and lots of other useful features. Plus most of them will automatically syndicate your podcast to dozens of the top podcast directories, not just iTunes and Spotify. If you're not on Google Podcasts, Amazon Music, Stitcher, etc you're missing out. Apple + Spotify account for only 22% of my total podcast downloads. No, all podcast directories are just RSS feeds that point to your files, you've got to host the audio yourself.

I think it's mostly BS. Your stomach acid has to be at a specific pH range or you'll die. Your blood has to be at a specific pH range or you'll die. Your body is constantly adjusting variables within very narrow windows to maintain homeostasis and survive. If drinking a glass of alkaline water or eating an alkaline food was all it took to make your body alkaline, it'd be as dangerous as drinking bleach. If being alkaline is healthy, then one of the healthiest things to do would be to pound back Tums (calcium carbonate) every day. It has a pH of 11. Lots of acidic things are healthy, like apple cider vinegar. Some things like lemon juice are acidic going in, but actually turns alkaline once metabolized. Meanwhile, eating too many alkaline foods can lead to candida overgrowth. It's not as simple as "low pH bad, high pH good."

If you're in a long-term relationship with someone that you trust fully, I think it's basically a requirement. If you can't tell your one person all of your deepest darkest thoughts, then who can you tell? It's not like you're a crybaby and it's some chronic thing. You're opening up to someone and being vulnerable for maybe literally the first time in your life.

Yes, it's just stories. There's no fate that has predestined you to be the world's greatest guitar player or cabinetmaker of all time. You just have to combine what you enjoy doing, what you're naturally good at, and what the world wants/needs to create a life purpose. Your life purpose in D&D terms is like the obvious go-to class based on your innate stats that you rolled. If you have high dexterity you should be an archer or a thief. If you have high strength you should be a barbarian. If you have high intelligence you should be a mage. Find your real-life stat and career equivalents. And no you aren't locked into it for life once you decide. If you get tired of one life purpose, create a new one for yourself.

If you've got multiple rental properties you're already ahead of the vast majority. I think the average total retirement savings that people have in their IRA/401k/whatever by retirement is around $250k. There's some rich people really dragging that average up though, median is like $80k. I don't know how people could possibly ever retire on that. As really general guidelines... at 30 you should have saved 1x your salary, at 40 3x your salary, at 50 6x your salary. If your employer offers contribution matching, I'd try to contribute at least enough to max that out every year. If you have like 10 properties all with their mortgages fully paid off by the time you retire and you're bringing in like $20k/month from rental income, I don't know if you really even need a retirement account though haha. Realistically you're setting yourself up for FIRE (financial independence, retire early) and can probably retire in your 40s or 50s, if you're only going to be drawing like $100k/year or less in retirement. Worst case you retire and sell off a property every few years. Even if you stick with just 3 properties and they're worth $400k each in a decade or two, that's $1.2 mil which is already more than most people will have saved up for retirement. Minimizing your tax burden should be a pretty big focus as well.

I don't know how common or uncommon it is, but I'd say it's a possibility. You're putting yourself into an altered state of consciousness, it's possible that it opens you up to something, similar to channeling. I've heard people say machine elves are demons before... I don't know if that's some of them, all of them, or what percentage. I think succubi are real and that I've been visited by them in dreams at least 3 times. All of my succubus encounters have been the most vivid and realistic dreams I've ever had, and also felt like the best sex I've ever had by far. Also the only times I've had wet dreams. I didn't seek it out though, it just happened to me. I don't know how you'd go about propositioning a supernatural entity for sex lol. Lots of possible vectors for them to enter your life or be attracted to you. If your ancestors did any kind of spirit work or made any kind of deals with spirits, even your great great grandparent, it might still be tied to your bloodline. If someone cursed you or specifically sent something after you. Depending on the belief system you'll get different answers. I heard one Catholic exorcist say that demons can smell your sin and they're attracted to the scent of evil. Also that sins are similar to how cuts on your skin provide an entry point for bacteria/viruses. If you've got a few little cuts, they probably aren't going to get infected. But the more cuts (sins) you have and the bigger they are, the bigger the risk that something will be able to contaminate you. There's quite a few podcast-type interviews with exorcists on Youtube that I'd recommend checking out... Vincent Lampert, Chad Ripperger, and a few others. Check out some videos by Islamic scholars on Djinn and Shaitans for an alternative viewpoint as well. Or this is all BS and your granny was just playing a prank on you, who knows

Is him responding to people @-ing him here every day not enough? Haha What other Youtuber with 1M+ subscribers can you reasonably expect to respond if you DM them? His time is literally worth, idk, probably at least like $500/hr at this point. So if you message about basic or outdated stuff I wouldn't expect a response. Kind of a double-edged sword, you help some people for free and then people start to expect it and feel entitled to it. If it's about the LP course or some basic question, can't you just crowdsource an answer from other forum members instead? Is it literally something that you feel that only Leo could help you with? Or maybe are you wasting a busy person's time when someone else can help instead? Equivalent business example -- Not every customer complaint needs to be escalated to the CEO.

You would never make 100 episodes all at once upfront, it's way too risky. What if the show flops? Not my industry or something I'm an expert in, but this is how I understand it works... - You pitch an idea to industry executives or some kind of representative from a channel / network / streaming service - They give you a small upfront retainer or advance (usually only a couple thousand dollars at most) - You make a pilot episode for them. If you're doing all the animation and stuff yourself, it'll probably take you months just to make one episode. Maybe you partner with one other person to either write the scripts or do the animation, whatever your strong points are. - They give you the greenlight and sign a contract for your first season, maybe like 20 episodes. Then you can maybe afford to outsource a lot of the animation overseas. You probably won't get paid very well because it's still unproven and you're a huge risk. - If the first season goes well and they want to renew, then you're in a position to actually start demanding some good money. I would watch a bunch of early interviews with Matt Stone / Trey Parker / Seth MacFarlane / Matt Groening, try to find biographies about them if any exist to learn exactly what they went through in the early days and what the process was like. If it was me, in 2022, it feels like a huge risk to take on, and like people in the industry will take a huge percentage of your earnings. I'd much rather try to go it alone and start a cartoon on Youtube where I have 100% control and get 100% of the earnings. The hardest part is not automatically having your stuff broadcast to millions of people. But TV is kind of dying anyway. And if your cartoon is any good, it'll quickly start to spread via word of mouth on its own.

If you're still in high school, the good news is that you still have your whole life ahead of you. It's basically just a practice run. None of your status or reputation transfers over from high school to adult life. Unless you're going to stay in 1 small town forever. You'll never talk to most people from high school again once you graduate. Start making yourself into the person you want to be now. It might feel incongruent while you're in school still, because everyone has built up expectations of who and what they expect you to be over several years. But that's easy to break free from and make yourself into a new person once school is done. This sounds like some school shooter or Elliot Rodger type shit, be careful with constantly repeating this kind of stuff to yourself or it can take you to some really dark places. I'd try to channel those feelings into something constructive like learning some kind of martial art or MMA. You don't have to actually beat anyone up or put them in their place. But just having the confidence to know that you could if you had to, will make a huge difference.

Try to think of anything that changed in the last week, or a little bit more. Depending on your situation it can be everything you listed and more... a warning, spirit just messing with you, or something else. Anyone you know sick, in the hospital, or recently died? I seem to have these sorts of experiences more as a warning sign that someone is in danger or about to die, rather than someone's ghost visiting me after the fact. You or anyone in your house mess around with occult stuff or trying any sort of new religious / spiritual stuff recently? Personally I tend to avoid putting up Halloween decorations, because I kinda feel like it's an invitation and attracts weird energies to you. Of course consider all the logical and rational explanations too... sometimes houses just creak and make noises. Especially this time of year it's getting cooler so floorboards and walls, doorframes etc might be shrinking or shifting from the temperature difference a bit. If you have a pet, consider that. My cats are constantly running around, jumping off counters and stuff in the night. To the point that if I had a ghost it'd be hard to tell I would avoid trying to communicate or interact with whatever it is by yourself. Don't talk to them, don't knock back, don't open any line of communication. Most experiences from people that I've heard where they do that, it tends to escalate things. Or you get into communication with something deceptive trying to pretend to be something that it's not. Let it go for now, try not to give it too much attention or fear, and hope it goes away on its own. Maybe pray or do whatever feels like it would be protective for your given belief system. If things start to escalate then I'd bring in some kind of professional like a priest or a shaman to bless your house and try to get rid of it. I would avoid trying to deal with it yourself. It's like suspecting that you have a murderer hiding in your house and choosing to go confront them yourself, instead of calling the cops who have the right training and tools to handle the situation much more safely.

He's still further up on Maslow's Pyramid than most people here on the forum. No point worrying about self-actualization until you've got a solid foundation of Esteem + Love and Belonging down, which Tate does. Make sure you're not lying to yourself and thinking you're self-actualizing when really you're still at the "getting your shit together" stage. Lots of people here can't even get laid or afford to pay for a date. They'd be way happier if they switched places with someone like Andrew Tate or Dan Bilzerian, at least in the short term. Even once they get bored and realize their life is ultimately empty and meaningless... they still have the resources to go to the best meditation retreats and hire the best life coaches. Imagine just being able to call up Tony Robbins or Eckhart Tolle and pay them a million dollars to talk to you. When it's time for them to self-actualize (if they ever decide they want to), they'll still reach the finish line before ordinary people struggling with meditation and taking notes.

Yeah, I'd echo the sentiments that personal development basically is my "me" time. Maybe part of the problem is that "personal development" is quite a broad term. It could describe everything from reading a book for enjoyment in your spare time (very little effort / discipline required) ... all the way to struggling to learn programming along with an online course (lots of effort / discipline required.) Or stuff in between like meditation where sometimes it's relaxation and sometimes it's torture. Most people have so much free time that it's not really a concern though. Schedule out every hour of every day for a week, and see how much time you aren't doing anything, or it's totally flexible to switch it with something else.

Depends on your city and the club you go to. Some are almost exclusively for university students, others are mostly 30 year olds. Just do your research or ask around to see which is which, so you aren't the weird older guy at the student bar. Generally if you're with a group and just stick with your group, as long as the bouncers are willing to let you in, then who gives a crap. I've never seen younger kids call out older people at clubs or try and start shit. Worst you'll get is a weird look from some drunk kid you'll never see again, and who won't remember you tomorrow anyway.

You don't understand how malleable reality and consciousness is, until you start to see it morph and fall apart right in front of you. Temporary insanity shows you just how much of your conscious experience depends on your senses providing you with consistent, reliable stimuli. Just one hit of THC vape blew my reality apart for around 6 hours. I can't imagine the insanity that something like DMT would induce in me. Visually: Walking down a hallway, or going up or down a staircase felt like a journey. At one point my wife came to the bedroom to check on me and I literally asked "Can I come visit you?" when she went back to the room next door. Because it was literally like having to walk halfway across town just to get back to the room next door. Minor distortions, kind of like a video taken with a fisheye lens. Peeing into the toilet, it seemed a lot smaller and further away than normal. I felt like I was basically stuck cross-eyed for the entire experience. At points it was like I was occupying two separate areas of physical space at once. I could see like a hologram or like a neon wireframe of myself a few feet away, and I could snap back and forth between them instantly. True insanity is losing touch with reality entirely. But you don't even have to go anywhere near that far for things to get really weird. You can still be in touch with reality and only having a slightly distorted view of reality, and have it still be really messed up. Think what it feels like to have your mouth frozen after the dentist. That's having your regular expectations modified only by like 0.0001% and its already weird and unnerving AF. Now imagine if someone took your consciousness and put it into a fly. Suddenly instead of feeling and breathing and seeing like a human, you were looking through hundreds of eyes, you had no hands or feet and 6 legs. You're still occupying the same basic reality as when you were a human, but the experience is so alien that you almost can't compare them. I can't even imagine what it's like to do DMT and lose all visual connection to reality, and have it replaced with an infinite tunnel of fractals.

I think WordPress is the optimal balance of cost / knowledge / effort required for what you get. (Hosting your a WordPress site on your own hosting/domain, not using Wordpress as a host. WordPress.com and WordPress.org are totally different things) Learning to code HTML/CSS is very inefficient and largely a waste of time for most people if coding and web design isn't part of your life purpose. You're redoing stuff that someone has already made a plugin or theme for 99% of the time. Wix, Kajabi, Squarespace etc are the most user friendly but limited and features and they'll nickel and dime you to death for add-on features over time. And you don't have 100% ownership and control over your own website, they can make it a hassle to transfer somewhere else later and basically hold your site hostage.

Survival - too busy worrying about covering the basics like having food and a roof over their head Most also simply don't know it's an option. They just think you are who you are, you're dealt a hand in life and that's it. You roll your character stats at birth and you stay at level 1 forever and they never change. Just like you can get stuck in thought loops on psychedelics -- most people's lives are just one giant thought loop / action loop. They get up and do the same thing every day, and they never even stop to question if it could be another way. If you ask a normal person why they do any given thing a certain way, they'll usually just give you a baffled look. They can't imagine anything different. Why do we do it this way.... "Because that's the way it's always been done." Even if it means being miserable. Don't get it wrong. People find great comfort and companionship in misery. You think people would strive to be less miserable, but not usually the case. Misery is fucking addictive. Labelling yourself as a powerless victim is one of the best ways to get stuck in life, while also completely absolving yourself of responsibility.

I'm playing on hardcore mode, no respawn. Life is a roguelike. Permanent death, each new world and character is randomly generated and unique from the last, with infinite variation.

Just gathering the theory and then imagining yourself taking action... that's enough to trick your brain into thinking that you're actually taking action. So your brain releases all the feel-good reward chemicals, and you feel like you've actually accomplished something, without any of the work. Knowing vs doing, is like the personal development equivalent of porn vs sex. Taking action always comes with some risk of failure, so it can be hard to make that leap from knowing to doing. The good news is at least you have all that theory and knowledge built up. That puts you ahead of people who spent all of their time watching Netflix and prank videos instead, at least. Now you just need to motivate yourself to actually use the information. Start slow. Pick one specific topic or area of personal development, self-help, business, or whatever. Then devote 1 hour every day that you'd normally spend consuming content, to actually taking action instead.
