Hardkill

@Eyowey What human can live forever? What are you talking about?

*I made this thread on the Society, Politics, Government, Environment, Current Events by mistake. If someone could delete that one in that section, I would appreciate it. I meant have this thread only in this section of the forum. If I fail at something once or even few times, then that's not a big deal to me. but I often get easily discouraged or feel hopeless when things aren't going the way I had hoped after constant failure, particularly when I truly tried my very hardest at something. I either have a meltdown or get very depressed or feel hopeless or pessimistic or become nihilistic or feel suicidal when this happens. I've tried visualization before but unfortunately it only made me feel even more disappointed and shocked every time something didn't turn out the way that I expected or hoped it would. It's now as if every time I fail at something I am like "I guess I really deluded myself into thinking that this really would workout.....What was I thinking?......I feel really stupid and embarrassed with myself." If any of you here know what are really the most effective methods to really learning not to feel the pain of despair after constant failure I would appreciate it.

I've been using Wakie for over 4 year nows, which is an app that lets you talk to strangers (from anywhere around the world) and can help you find someone on there to help you wake up. It also provide a function for making phone calls with strangers. You can also send DMs to anybody you like on there, just like how you can DM anyone on Instagram. I've been able to successfully have some phone sex talk with some girls on there after talking to them in a more regular manner. Some of the girls on there have gotten really dirty and kinky with me on there. But many of those same girls end up blocking me permanently for no apparent reason, even when the conversation was great and was fun for both of us. I don't really get why this has happened to me? Could it be because a lot of them feel ashamed of themselves afterwards?

I know that Leo has mentioned a number of times before that consistent practice of cold approaching and dating doesn't just build your confidence, social skills, flirting skills, charisma, being able to converse with people more easily, etc. He also said that if you start out as a hardcase newbie who has always struggled socially and sexually/romantically with women, then your journey to becoming a socially adept and seductive man will lead to growth outside the domain of sex and social life. He has told guys to watch Owen Cook's videos because his videos don't just teach you how to really develop your social skills and become successful with women. They also teach guys how to become more of a man internally and evolve into a highly developed human with regard to every other area of your life. No doubt can cold approaching, dating, and socializing with others can really get you laid and a girlfriend if you approach, interact with, and date hundreds and hundreds of girls. I also definitely believe that my pickup and dating journey has considerably improved my social skills, dating skills, and sex/romance skills. I started out as a hardcase newbie who has about the same level of Asperger's that Owen Cook has. Now, I've become a sort of late bloomer with people and women. I do believe that constant rejection does help to eliminate your social anxiety and helps you get used to moving on to other girls or to other people socially who you might have a better chance with, but I still don't really see how going through constant painful rejections necessarily helps you to completely cope with failure. In fact, despite having already approached hundreds of attractive women myself, dated and madeout with several of them, got laid with a couple of them, got a girlfriend from one of them, got laid with even more girls through online dating, etc. I still don't feel like I am able to easily cope with loss or failure of anything that ever happens in your life like a superhero or stoic soldier trained for combat. In many respects, I actually feel even more neurotic about myself and more pessimistic about what I can and cannot do as a person. I feel even more cynical about people than I was before I got into pickup, as realize more and more that women and humans in general really care more about what's best for themselves than what about the well-being of others. Particularly with regard to coping with failure, I really haven't much of an improvement in being able to cope with failure in other areas of my life compared to when I started out with pickup. I still get easily discouraged or demoralized every time I fail in something at school, work, sports/fitness results, or what have you. Not to mention that I am still struggling in my battle with depression and generalized anxiety. In some ways, I feel like my ability to deal with depression and anxiety has gotten worse because of the COVID the pandemic, anxiety over the war in Ukraine, the constant threat of right-wing extremism in our country in recent years, economic uncertainty, and having become increasingly of many other sad current events that go in this world.

I guess the constant rejection I've gotten from cold approaching and dating just isn't enough to make me strong enough to deal with failure well. I really am going to have to do some serious work on fixing my on deep psychological issues by doing some kind of meditation, CBT therapy techniques, or other therapy techniques consistently. Thanks everyone.

I think that everyone should watch all of the Terminator movies, because one day robots will take over the entire planet. We all need to prepare for judgment day.

A top professor of American History at Vanderbilt University, named Nicole Hemmer, was recently hosted by Sam and Emma on The Majority Report. She gave a brilliant in-depth explanation on how and why the Republican Party shifted so far to the right over time. She talks with Sam and Emma about how the legislation and policies from the Great Society era, particularly the Civil Rights and Voting Right legislation in the 60s, really led to the beginning of the GOP's gradual shift to the right in the late 60s and the whole 70s decade. Then also talked about how Neoliberalism/Reagan further contributed to the party's continuing shift to the right by the late 70s/early 80s. Moreover, professor Hemmer greatly elaborates on the reasons the Republican Party really accelerated their shift radically to the right around the late 80s/early 90s. She then discusses with Sam and Emma on how and why the GOP kept continuing to more and more and more to the far right during the rest of the 90s, into the early 2000s, and onwards.

Or porn pics?

Wouldn't doing an economic sanction on them cause further escalation of conflict with China? Otherwise, I hope you're right about COVID.

I used to be interested in the show, but quite frankly it got really stupid and disgusting.

Alright, then political discussions can be discussed as long as they are only nonpartisan intellectual discussions on political matters and no campaigning allowed.

All of politics should be banned from Twitter, just as it all should be banned from all other social media platforms and alt media. Keep everything as neutral and as boring as possible like what happened during the Great Quieting. That way, so much of political bipartisanship consensus that has already lost in many countries around the world would be restored. This would likely lead to much less conflict in many parts of the world and instead lead to much greater progress for all societies throughout whole the world.

It’s an omnibus bill containing more than one bills with many different kinds of provisions in it. This is the definition of an omnibus bill according to wikipedia: “An omnibus spending bill is a type of bill in the United States that packages many of the smaller ordinary appropriations bills into one larger single bill that can be passed with only one vote in each house.”

Both chamber of Congress just passed a $1.7 trillion omnibus bill that includes the Electoral Count Reform and Presidential Transition Improvement Act of 2022. Biden will of course sign this into law ASAP. The main provisions of this act include: - Identifies each state's governor as responsible for submitting certificates of ascertainment. Unless otherwise noticed by state laws or constitutions. - Provides for expedited review, including a three-judge panel with a direct appeal to the Supreme Court, of certain claims related to a state’s certificate identifying its electors. - Requires Congress to defer to slates of electors submitted by a state’s executive pursuant to the judgments of state or federal courts. - Clarifies that the vice president cannot solely determine, accept, reject, or otherwise adjudicate disputes over electors. - Raises objection threshold from one member of each chamber to 20% of each chamber. - Prohibits state legislatures from declaring a "failed election." They can instead move their election only by “extraordinary and catastrophic.” There were only about 38 states that were a part of the United States by in 1887 and times were obviously very, very different back then compare to today. Not to mention, Trump tried to get Congress to overturn the 2020 presidential election. Therefore, this new law basically modernizes the outdated 1887 Electoral Count Act in order to further ensure that Trump or someone else like him will never be able to steal a presidential election in the future. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Electoral_Count_Act *See very bottom of that wiki article to read up on Clarifications and revisions made to the ECA of 1887.

Do you use mouthwash and floss your teeth everyday? Have you tried scraping your tongue everyday?

I see. I just read that article, and it really had an interesting explanation of autism. Maybe that's why I have had an unusual amount of off days academically, athletic, and socially given my own Asperger's.

Yeah, so China basically has a more modern day and capitalist version of the Soviet-Style Socialist regime.

Ah, I see what you mean now. So, just because the CCP is a unified one party system that still owns a number of businesses across the country, that doesn't mean that China is really a socialist country. China has instead been always going totally against the true principles and ideals of socialism/communism. I guess that means that in that case, the only thing they have in their country that could arguably be considered socialistic is the fact that they still greatly emphasize the idea of total unity in their country.

So, I need to change my perspective of how big of a deal failure of something is? Every time you fail at something, do you ever worry that you may never succeed at it?

How is China primarily capitalistic when it has some degree of a planned economy, still has many state-owned businesses, and the means of production in the country are nationalized as well?

I never understood how to not compete with others when I've always been a competitive person my whole life. Being competitive to me has always meant not wanting to be a loser and in some dire situations means doing whatever it takes to survive. After all, life is brutal in many respects. The weak and foolish die and the strong and wise survive. So, how do I let go of competing with the world? Furthermore, how do I stop getting so easily discouraged or demoralized by every failure?

Right, I see what you mean. What about celebrities in the sports and entertainment industries? Do you believe they deserve to be paid more than those who provide truly greater essential value to society such as teachers, firefighters, military personnel, policemen, scientists, mathematicians, engineers, doctors, other healthcare and STEM professionals, architects, lawyers, etc.?

You say you did well with academics but not with intelligence-based tests. Where the intelligence-based tests not based on anything pertaining to math, science, writing, speaking, etc.?

I tried that too and that didn't work for me.
