Yup That was Awakening. Try to see it as a positive thing.

@Someone here It's good that you are so curious. But rather than me filling your head with words, how about you leverage that curiosity to actually directly discover and experience the answers for yourself?

If you're gonna live with a girl I'll tell you this right now: You are never Awakening.

@mr_engineer If you continue to spread political nonsense, you will be banned from this sub-forum. Do not mistake this place for Reddit.

Why do you think the Buddha left his wife?

@Tyler Robinson No one specific was mentioned by name so it is fine.

Within reason. Don't do it more than she does. This is not a license to be a pussy. The point is not to act like a man because you are afraid she will leave you otherwise, but to act like a man because that is how you most respect yourself and feel best. In general, a man should not need to run to a woman for a shoulder to cry on. That's not the kind of man you wanna be.

Hell no. All that will do is create burn out and ruin your life.

Tell her to move out. Don't allow distractions like that. Your space is divine and should not be given up for any girl. Living together is only gonna make you two hate each other soon. If you love a girl, the best way to ruin it is to see her too often. And everyday is the worst.

1) So what? 2) People protested a bunch anyway. Dude, you need to learn reason and moderation. You are so extremist and unreasonable in your expections for how a society works. None of the countries you mention have anything close to an authoritain regime. You are fighting with monsters in your own head. In the real world we got democracy as its always been. It's messy, it doesn't fit your silly ideals, but it works about as good as one can expect given the complexities of life. It's like you are deliberately looking to be contrarian and unreasonable because you got nothing better to do with your time. Go create something valuable rather than obsessing over this shit. Relax, things will be okay.

And sometimes people plot evil-doings.

@mr_engineer Dude, you keep saying nonsense. No one has outlawed protesting except in China.

I have reduced the limit a bit today. This platform is not designed to be a private chatroom. For you own good I decided to limit that from day one back in 2015. A core part of what I teach is to not distract yourself with social games and nonsense. Less talk, more work. We are not here to feed your endless appetite for talk and distractions.

IPEC is good. Or it was good 10 years ago. Not sure how it is now.

@ZenSwift Thanks for the enthusiasm.

That just means you're an ectomorph. Accept it. I'm that way too. I could have but I was very underweight so my goal was to fatten up as much as I could. I wasn't fasting to lose weight. It is impossible to lose 22 pounds in 5 days. You just shed water and feces. Which quickly returned. It is not possible to lose more than 1 pound per day. You don't burn nearly enough calories for that. Even half a pound per day is a lot. That's about the max you'll get long-term, true fat-loss. It took me 5 months to drop 65 pounds of solid fat. That's about as fast as it's realistically, sustainably possible. And there is no reason to do it any faster. Anyone would be thrilled with that result.

Government IS self-regulation. Self-regulation has already happened 1000 years ago. Now here we are. This is what it looks like. It looks way more sophisticated than you tiny brain can fathom so you don't recognize it.

More like ruthlessness. But more seriously, businesses become big because they do better business than everyone else. It's not just a pure power grab. Power ultimately comes from delivering value. Amazon is big because it delivers amazing value. Not because Jeff Bezos is a corrupt prick.

It's hard for me to say. I don't have enough knowledge of how that stuff works. Also hard to say. There seems to be some of it, but I doubt it was a core cause. That's just more like them tightening their belts in a tough economy or being opportunistic. The problem with inflation is that once the cycle begins it starts to spiral upward out of control as everyone freaks out and starts raising prices to stay ahead. I wouldn't necessarily blame individual companies for this except in some rare cases. I see it more as a general dynamic of the whole economy. It's sort of like in a Mexican standoff, when one guy starts shooting, they all start shooting as fast as they can and everyone ends up dead. The key there is to ensure the first shot is never fired. Which the government can do by not overprinting money.

The software has no such feature. Few threads stay up for long enough to make such a feature meaningful. Those that do are usually of higher quality.

I feel zero addictiveness from weed. Of course I would not smoke it chronically, only for a serious trip. It is addictive for some though so don't use chronically.

I dare you to not eat and not lose weight. I lost about 8 pounds in 12 days only by not eating. No gimmicks, serious weightloss.

What about mountain chicks who like yodeling?

@Simple Success Nice! But what is your zone of genius? Also, be careful. It is not true that everything you can do others can do, and vice versa. People are very different capabilities. Of course anyone can lose weight just by not eating.

They are one, however, realizing their equality is no trivial matter. An ape and a human are the same thing, but it is not easy to see that. Took till Darwin to realize it, and even then many denied it. I once had a friend in middle school who denied that "fuck" and "sex" are the same thing. I tried to convince him that fuck just means sex. But he said, "No way! That can't be, because fuck is such a bad word, so it must mean something really bad but sex isn't bad." Imagine his rude awakening when he finally realized they were one So it will be with you, God, and consciousness
