That's okay. You don't need to be that specific. You can forgive the person itself more than the exact situation.

Of course Go enjoy a damn hot dog. Too much spiritual posturing going on here.

Haha! That is pickup! In order to pull that off one would require massive pickup experience. Such an authentic opener requires so much confidence and experience to pull off. That is my fave type of opener and it took me many approaches to master. Authenticity on a dime is the mark of a master, not a newbie. But also, the opener is just the beginning. It will never be enough to actually get her. You must also know how to keep the conversation going, how to charm her, and how to close. All this takes lots of practice. Learning how to lead and close is hugely important for results. It took me many approaches to learn that I have to ask her on an insta-date right then and there by walking with her to a coffee shop. Which means I need to know where the nearest coffee shop is. A newbie cannot know such things and will screw up every phase of the process with awarkness and ineptness. Stop thinking of pickup as fakery. Pickup is the art of learning to be totally natural. Ironically, this takes a lot of practice. "Natural" is what gets you laid. But natural ain't natural.

This exercise was only for forgiving people who hurt you. It was not an exercise to removal all possible childhood trauma. That would be a much bigger project.

Yes, terrorists are doing the hero's journey, but in a very limited and dysfunctional way. And of course "terrorist" is a highly relative notion.

Guns: protecting the world from people with guns

And what about people who eat 20 hot dogs per day and 1 gallon of ice cream and a 6-pack of Coke? Should we ban hot dogs and ice cream and Coke? There are far too many juicy things in the world to ban them all. Learn to control your cravings. You can install a porn filter on your computer if you really can't hold yourself back.

Most people are mediocre. Public policy is not designed for the top 1%. It's designed for the bottom 99%. You can't write laws assuming everyone is a Buddha.

Of course it's possible. And it's possible to walk to the grocery store rather than using a car. But we are technological creatures. Once a technology is out, you can't put the toothpaste back in the tube. Most guys are NOT going to be satisfied with just their imaginations. Especially now that they've seen porn their whole life.

Lol As if you have any sense of what the numbers ought to be. If anything the numbers are under-counted and the situation is worse than the mainstream media reports.

That's on you. Don't blame the porn for your personal shortcummings.

No moreso than sex. Porn can be consumed responsibly, just like alcohol can. There's way too much no-FAP group-think floating around the internets. Don't forget how many lives are ruined by impregnating the wrong female. Those "scientific" studies you cite a far too short-sighted about the function that porn serves in society. It's effect on your brain is only one small factor. There are many other factors at stake. How about a scientific study on the effect of accidentally impregnating the wrong female? Let's see how that affects your brain and your wallet.

Of course influential people get more attention. If you want lots of people to care about your well-being, become influential. Influential people have the potential to hurt or help many people. So they deservedly get more attention.

Dude, you have totally lost your compassion and sense of responsibility with your conspiracy theories. What you are doing is akin to holocaust denial. You won't understand until perhaps someone close to you dies of it and you see that it is no ordinary flu. Or maybe you just need to catch it yourself, as a stubborn mind refuses to learn by any other means but intense suffering: The virus is real. It's not some government plot. And your fellow humans are suffering from it. Show some fucking compassion.

You have no idea the complexity of the issue. You can't just ban porn. The ban would be less enforceable than a ban on alcohol or weed. You can't ban a thing which 99% of people want and love. By banning porn you think it would make society healthier, but actually it would do the opposite as now men will have no way of releasing their sexual energy in a safe & healthy way. So now it will manifest in really toxic ways such as rape, violence, abuse, bullying, theft, mass shootings, and terrorism. Repressing the sex drive makes it worse, not better. If you outgrow porn, good for you. But 99% of society is not ready for that yet and they will come after you with pitchforks for trying to boss them around. Porn serves a crucial function in society. You can think of porn stars as essential workers. As essential as farmers. There is a very big difference between abstaining from porn by your own free choice vs some authority figure forcing you to abstain from porn when you are not ready for that yet. It's foolish to try to legislate peoples' sexual cravings.

Cool, thanks!

@Consilience Excellent! Now you're starting to see. Keep digging deeper. Shoot for total omniscience.

You realize, right, that most of YT's moderation is done via AI algorithms, not humans? As YT themselves have warned, due to Covid-19 limiting their workforce, their AI will remove some videos which don't violate any guidelines. YT issued this warning to all creators a month ago. Tens of thousands of people are dying while you are whining about free speech. You have no appreciation for how complex and challenging managing a platform of YT's scale is.

Yes. I was planning to after releasing the stage Red video.

Or maybe running YT, where millions of vidoes are uploaded every day, is a massively complex affair? And maybe YT management actually has a sense of responsibility not to allow their platform to turn into 4chan? Could be that.

Why not alternate between both so you taste more of the rainbow? Use one as a foil for the other to deepen you understanding of how consciousness works. That's why I try many difference substances and not just stick to 5-MeO.

@Whatwhat Good work! You ARE Love.

If you tolerant to plugging, then vaping will be better for you. Some people are tolerant so it doesn't work well on them.

fear vs love is unified by Love with a capital L. There is only Love. The end. Fear is a subset of Love.

Maybe. I don't know the details of what he does. It's hard to know from a few seconds of video footage. But I have heard that some people have died from his bufo ceremonies. So buyer beware. Ultimately bufo is not as good as plugged synthetic.
