Butters

Holy shit! That's crazy. About dogs: I've seen many strays here and they look rough but I think the locals take care of them. But still, the one that lays in front of 7/11 at night looks like he's been through some tough times and his fur is all messed up. The stray dogs lack a certain curious warm persona that regular domestic dogs have in my eyes. But I think in Europe slaughterhouses are horrible places probably but you don't typically get to see it. Honestly doesn't bother me that much. I've been thinking about development level a lot since I got here. People are very warm and welcoming, I love it. People seem to have (much) less individual ego than people in the West. I wonder if this was the same in Europe 100 years ago when the Church still laid out the moral rules of society.

Am in Bangkok now. Today I went to the market and there were lots of animals there in little cages. A bit similar to this video They had regular animals like cats, bunnies and mice. But also crazy ones. I've seen at least: Wild cats (Lynx? not sure) Sugar glider Many different reptiles Giant turtles Opossum Raccoon (seriously, who wants this as a pet?) Capuchin Monkey (sad) Many puppies (more sad tbh) Capybara Many exotic birds Squirrels Probably way more. I could have swore I heard a tiger growl at some point but that was probably just my brain playing tricks on me. Although if you ask enough people I'm sure they can get you one. Most of these animals didn't look like they should be caged but what you gonna do. Also saw cockfighting roosters yesterday lol.

Staying up for two weeks straight is dangerous no matter what drugs you're on.

But that invalidates your own earlier statement. Both conformity and the absence of it must be 100% Tolkien.

Isn't that something? I didn't know there were words that could carry irony.

I've been watching this show, it's pretty neat. Extreme orange masterclass 😁

So the most conformist people in the world are the furthest removed from God? But isn't that place reserved for like .. .serial killers and Hitler? Hitler is quite non-conformist you could say. Or am I just playing word games at this point? I guess non-conformist people don't get lost as easily in the illusions of society, but at the same time neither do the mentally ill, and they're quite lost. Is there any significance to this whole conformity discussion at all then?

I think the point of this thread is to poke through the illusion. How else will we get to the higher stages? More specifically what I mean is: so that we don't 'fall in love' or fall for the illusion of what other people display to us. So we don't think 'that person is so special'.

Thinking for yourself. Following your intuition So are these the only examples of non-conformity?

I've had it many times a girl and I would make strong eye contact in public and immediately she'd look at my dick, especially with sweatpants. I have a small penis but you can't see that, or they don't care. That's about as direct as it gets with a stranger lol. I never approached any of those cause I was too shy, like now all of a sudden I was missing a connection first. But I would bet those would be extremely quick daytime lays, something some people in this thread seem to not believe exist. Someone else posted about sweatpants here too a while back. Some women will literally try to grab your thing by walking really close and letting their hands lose in that direction. I met a guy once who wore a kilt to the pub and he was basically sexually molested by girls all night lol. If you wanna get laid quick, you definitely can. Yes there are cultural differences, this was all in the Netherlands which is both a direct country and a very equal country when it comes to men and women, hence their incentive to be so direct about sex.

Lol I've recently started collecting license plates in my head.

Then you could also say: all other cultures.

Couples who go jogging or rollerblading.

@Olaf my experience has literally been the opposite. I feel like girls wanted to have sex or make out where I didn't want to way more often than the reverse.
