What's more deceitful, is to use AI to write your text without disclosing that it was used.

That's how emotions are supposed to work: directed outwards (usually at the "source", although that can be socially/morally dubious at times as you say; but if not that, at least directed outwards). Pulling the energy inwards and into the mind, that's like creating an entirely different problem. Our king (H.M. King Harald V, RIP) just died a few days ago and the new king (H.M. King Haakon VIII) has always struck me as repression example #1. So extremely controlled and lack of affect, but you can feel there are things under the surface. I saw it during his first speech as king and during interviews about the recent royal scandals. There is energy there that wants to do shit. Sure, being emotionless is more "optimal" often in some ways, but if the emotion is there, it's there, whatchu gonna do, hide from it?

That reality exists is 100% certain. Reality is God.

Idk o_o I like emotions that are short and sweet, like "road rage" that lasts for 5 seconds.

@Natasha Tori Maru By the way, I "unlocked" my emotions by just walking at night lol and doing something I coined "crying meditation" (either while sitting or while walking at night). No animals were disturbed in the making of this therapeutic effect, except the wild animals that were watching.

I randomly watched this video yesterday (don't ask why) where the girl describes being recommended sitting with an animal when trying to connect to her emotions, and she started balling immediately. (She starts telling the story at 0:42, but feel free to listen to the sort-of-relevant manic pigeon documentary context): Why did I watch the video? Idk, I have a thing for bipolar women (?). I subscribed for her artistic content (?) ("But she looks like barely a woman". Ok, let's steer the discussion towards pedo/ephebo instead of beastophilia. Anyone? No? Yes? Ok? Bye?).

Who the fuck drinks three glasses of milk (750g) a day anyway? If you don't drink that amount of milk, you have to eat 400g of almonds (nobody does that), 150-200g of cheese (you fat pig), 780g of low fat sour cream (you drinking the stuff?), 1.5kg of spinach (you'll definitely get kidney stones) to hit 100% of RDA for a male my size. I only hit about 40% with a standard day's worth of food. How do you do it? Do you snort calcium-fortified soy?

Start by locking one-sentence exclamation (not genuine question) threads I liked to do that.

Mystical flower pixie girl? 🥺👉👈

We already have laws where the mere sight of something is so offensive that we put you in jail for it (indecent exposure, which in the legal definition requires deliberation, hence it could be considered as a form of evil). Apparently, ugly people do not meet that requirement (we don't make them cover up their face or whatever makes them ugly and if they don't, we throw them in jail).

I'm not sure I would've started out on this forum if I had LLMs. My first real post was me asking for advice on something.

😂 I just had an insight that the rise of LLMs could be partially responsible (for why there are less new members coming in). If people go to forums for answers, then LLMs cover much of that need. I believe the same is happening to spaces like Quora and Stack Exchange.

To lie to yourself is to cognition like covering your eyes is to perception. If you cover your eyes enough, eventually you will not see what is right in front of you. Lies eventually obscure your view of reality.

Haha, if only he didn't believe it himself. It only reads like hyperbole, he owns the crazy positions (until he contradicts himself and trolls the rest of the discussion).

omg I meant what I said was hyperbole. However, the fact that you have homeless drug addicts, that's a thing. But homeless porn addicts? Yeah, two different beasts (the latter probably does not reasonably exist). If we want to talk about "the hell of drug/porn addiction", we will go to the worst cases.

Hyperbole mate.

I completely understand what your point is; I even predicted this the first response I made. I just pointed out how you did not communicate that point at any level of precision the first time. Have you gone through drug addiction? I said it did not tell us anything about how difficult it is to escape any more than how damaging it is physically. I was making a comparison. The only way I predicted what you actually meant is because I had to mindread you and guess based on context and what you would most likely believe. It had nothing to do with what you actually said literally; you could have just as easily believed that porn leads to completely severe and irreversible erectile dysfunction and sexual anhedonia, dopaminergic brain damage, etc.; severe physical damage, perhaps worse than any drug. And then when I would have called you out on your lack of precision, you would have accused me of misunderstanding the same way, as if that was a problem I had created and not you. Not having heroin in your house as a drug addict means nothing because 1. you don't have a house, and 2. you will be spending 100% of your time looking for heroin. We're talking about "the hell of drug/porn addiction", not the "pragmatics of suburban casual drug and porn consumers". And even if you want to scale it down to any type of drug addiction, you would have zero experience with it to say that not having it in your house somehow lessens your problem. The drug is inside your mind.

I guess since you redefined "evil" as "ugly", your thread can be locked since "society hates ugly people more than ugly people" is not something that needs to be answered.

"Porn is not even close to drugs" does not tell us anything about "how difficult it is to escape" any more than how physically damaging it is. There is nobody misunderstanding here, only somebody who doesn't know how to communicate what they're actually thinking about.

Freedom of religion is now rage bait.

Sigh... Why do I even bother. I don't know, the people who put people in jail? The people who constitute society? The people we're asking whether they dislike something very much? As if it has to be explained: you put people in jail if they bother you very much. Ugly people do not rise to that level, not even close.

You claimed porn is "not even close to" ("worse than") drugs. Which does not specify "physical" or "non-physical". Maybe porn does destroy your brain after all.

Because they have to support New Agers like you, the kookiest of religious people in the world.

Change science, education systems, politics. Working at something for many years produces results. The everyday person is concerned about getting a check and eating food and going on a holiday. A person with a vision works towards a goal and gets things done.

You gotta change society to what you want it to be.
