I would add : Isn't it illegal for 21+ Women to date under 18 year old boys ? Develop yourself. Train, study and/or work, read good books and socialize. Date, maybe it's easier with Dating Apps. After some years this problem will be gone as a side effect.

It depends. If you have to go into dept for university - don't do it. Even if not I can't recommend it. Majors in something that will realistically earn you money. Ok, Leo for example studied philosophy, but how many people have a master in philosophy and go nowhere with it ? You can learn Philosophy better and deeper with readings books, writing a philosophy blog , go to philosophy groups or forums....

I know you are trolling, but rap is the art-form. Bitches, Money Phones (google it), Drugs & Violence is content. There are obviously uncountable other topics posible. I get the impression that many people in this thread are not even into hip hop at all and fight against their own cliches Why ?

Father forgive them, for they know not what they do. Luke 23;24

@EternalForest This is so true.

Yeah, so ? They are both very unhealthy, but Lil Peep has at least a lil bit of Soul. Lil Pump is pure trash. Change my mind And I don't mean they are bad as a person, I mean it in terms of what there product does to the listener

@cypres I'm sure what rap music is even talked here, so we should define it with examples

@cypres What about examples of low-conscious rap with explanation ? What would make an interesting discussion. That is one of the most trash rappers in can think of : Lil Peep. All about money and social media bullshit. Very materialistic and unhealthy

I'm a great fan of Hip Hop. This is not Black or White. There is a lot of good rap out there, even about enlightenment : To say Rap is dangerous is ignorant, there is a lot of diverse stuff. BUT there are legions of very toxic rappers nowadays who earn a lot of money. They rap about drugs and die typically from drug abuse like Lil Peep or go into prison like Takeshi 69. These are a problem, yes. I don't listen to these type of music, although I hear some gangsta rap i claim that what I hear it has soul and a strive to actualize. For example Lil Bibby, who raps about exactly that violence, is NOT a person who glorifies it. I believe he is now out of the rap game to make it as a business person. Nipsey Hustle was into Green and tried to help his community for a decade before he was shot in front of one of his businesses by a ignorant youth or so. There is a TV Show on Netflix there rappers buy random shit for lots of money to show off. This show is almost a who is who in terms of trash rap. Compare that to the Wu Tang Clan. These dudes are around since 1992 and look still healthy. Even Snoop Dogg developed into a green Person: @SoothedByRain lol, he was right.

Well go for it, I'm sure you can earn a living trough that. But it'll take some years to manifest

@Raptorsin7 lol... I know a person who wrote his bachelor thesis about lol . So you wanna get so good that everyone ask like : How ? And then you present the blog ? That's actually a damn fine strategy

I guess most gamer will be drawn in with performance tricks like better nutrition, whole food or meditation. That is the perfect frame from my perspective..

@Raptorsin7 Why not, in the gaming community is much to gain. Will this include topics like nutrition?

@Raptorsin7 This is a good advice, the question is how you get you blog going. I have a blog as well, but it was under construction for 3 years. I don't mean the structure of the web page, you can get a wordpress blog in an afternoon. The content was the problem. I had to develop myself and get clarity about the topic. You seem to know what you want, so go for it ; )

Now this is a fruitful discussion that goes right to the mark. Exactly what I thought in terms of her stage, but who know qw don't know her personal... @Ero your Advice is still sound. Word! But I would dare to add that you can categorize people dynamically into stage, you guess the stage. You can frame higher topics so that they appreciate it and you avoid some misunderstandings. But you stay alert, maybe they are more developed in a different domain. For example you have a seemingly money hungry stage orange type, but then you find that he is like that to accomplish a sophisticated goal which helps a lot of people. See, it's not so easy as judgement but still possible. I have ask the cypher this : Becomes Spiral Dynamics obsolete to a stage turquoise person ?

@fridjonk right !:D:D

Well everyone has to go through the valley of shadow and death. In my case I lived with a hardcore christian and a stalinist in a shared flat (we're still friends, but everyone were in personal hardships). We we're extremely nocturnal (uptime : 3pm to 5am). The Stalinist tried to talk us in all sort of political questionable shit. We had a plenum and we bought all our food together, which was quite a hustle because the stalinist was into fried food. I gained 10kg in no time. The hardcore Christian claimed we would been like these Nightshift guys. So we watched it - it was an instant classic. How was the signature move of the communist ? "I have 2 bachelors and 1 master !!"

@fridjonk Do you know Næturvaktin ? I loved that show.

Ok, here is one crappy joke for Iceland . I can't resist . How do you win an election in Iceland ? You ask your friends to vote for you - all 3 .

@fridjonk Maybe no one cares because there are not enough people on that island ? After all you are fun sized compared to other countries in terms of population. I mean how many people do you have ? 200.000? (ok i googled it, it's 400.000). The Metropolitan Area i live in has a little more people than whole iceland. And how many come in the country? All I want to say it is interesting but not comparable to the U.S. ALTHOUGH many people start to dismiss college education to be an autodidact Whatever, don't be fearful @Chumbimba . Listen to the Kayne West Album "College Drop out". Be bold ps : but i recommend that you do your online university

I would bet you to think about it. You can go into the game industry, but be aware of that struggle. Maybe it's just for you. I hope is this was not too much . Do you want to know something ?

https://www.gameindustrycareerguide.com/video-game-industry-work-life-balance/ do you like telltale games like The Walking dead? https://comicbook.com/gaming/2018/09/22/former-telltale-employees-what-it-was-like-working/

DON'T. GO. INTO. COMPUTER. GAME. INDUSTRY. https://time.com/5603329/e3-video-game-creators-union/ The conditions are fucking bad and the stress is high. What is worse? Everyone wants to make games, thus there is more supply of worker than demand. You like games, so you think this is cool. It's not. @Leo Gura please tell him about the problem one faces in game industry (if you have the time of course)

The plan is good. If you can meet regularly in flesh with fellow programmers, for example in a hackerspace . The culture is important too. And build simple stuff immediately, try to get to more complex problems on each iteration. Next thing is your first language. Do you know a programming language? Many People say Python is easy to learn and well documented. However, I've started with Javascript (bad choice for a first language), learned R for university statistics and now I'm somewhat professional useful in ABAP. I strongly recommend you read this Essay from Eric Raymond now. It's called 'How to become a Hacker', however, this means not criminal. If you don't know the term other than as a synonym for Cyber Criminal, you can translate it as Hacker = Programmer + Wisdom + Ethics + Style. If that resonates with you, you should read Dave Thomas and Andy Hunts Books. Pragmatic Programming , Pragmatic Learning If nothing else please read this 160 page book full of tricks of how to learn better and faster : The little book of Talent This guy Aaron Clarey is somewhat useful on the grand picture, but he is stuck in blue/orange. Be careful with these youtube teachers anyway... the indian tutorial guys are ok, though YOU CAN DO IT!

@Chumbimba Okay, next decision is college or not. There are some Programmers without college Education, however it won't be easy to get the foot in the door. If you won't go to college learn the basics for 2 months and then find a job with opportunity to grow.
