Yes, by making yourself more social and bumping into more new men. You can't find a good man sitting at home.

Sometimes, but not in a very serious way.

Basically what I hold myself back from doing because I easily could.

Go be highly social.

Imagine how confused you will be when you grow up clueless and then learn one day that gender is a category constructed by the mind? By that point you will be so in denial about it that you will turn into a transphobe and bully trans people as a defense mechanism. The idea that kids are traumatized by sex education is absurd. It's their parents who are traumatized. The kids have no problem with it. If kids were taught sex-ed in 1st grade it would remove a lot of ignorance and stigma around sex.

Reality is confusing. That's not a bug, that's a feature. Part of growing up is grappling with many confusing aspect of life. Yes, allowing kids to know about homosexuality and trans gender stuff will make them more confused because you are presenting them with more options. It's like you're saying, "I shouldn't tell my child that strawberry ice cream exists because it will confuse him when picking ice cream. He's better off only knowing about vanilla. Then his life is easy." How about giving your child some credit in being able to learn and understand and make choices? If kids are not educated about sex they will just learn about it from their ignorant friends in 1st grade anyway. But the difference is they will pick up biases and misinformation. Some kid on the playground will teach your kid that gay sex is evil and disgusting and that God will send him to hell for it. That will get imprinted in your kid's mind. Which is exactly that right-wingers want. What right-wingers don't want is for a kid to know that gay sex is nor better or worse than normal sex, and that God does not care what kind of sex you have.

Because they know about it regardless, but without proper education they will know about it in ignorant and biased ways. Yes we do. It's all baked into our culture, media, images, movies, songs, games, language, religion, marketing, etc. It's something they get imprinted with from culture. This is a culture war. They get groomed into hetero sexual norms and morals through subtle cultural brainwashing. - - - - - - This bill is like passing a bill which says: Don't tell kids about black people. Let kids find out about black people on their own and draw their own conclusions. But if the culture is racist and implicitly depicts black people in bad ways, by the time the kid grows up the conclusion he will draw is that black people are bad. That's exactly the purpose of such a bill and why it is racist. In a culture which depicts black people as lazy watermelon-hungry rapists, criminals, and drug dealers, to let kids draw their own conclusions is to perpetuate racism.

That's exactly their dream. They have been trying to do that for decades. Because there is no need for such a bill. No teachers are grooming kids to be gay. That's not a thing. The right-wing just wants to brainwash kids with the old-school hetero-normative worldview. This bill is just gaslighting. It's obviously just a pawn in their culture war. Now if a Florida teacher tells his 1st grade class that he and his husband went on vacation together, that will be considered "grooming" and he will be sued. But if a straight teachers says he and his wife went on vacation together, there won't be a problem. So it's a bill designed to discriminate against gays and trans, cloaked as "saving the children". Kids are exposed to hetero-normative talk and images from the moment they are born. So this idea that kids are not groomed into heterosexuality is absurd. They are. When a kid listens to a story about Snow White or the like, that is already hetero-normative grooming. So what the right-wing wants is hetero-normative grooming to have a monopoly on kids' minds for as long as possible. That is the purpose of this bill. So then when kids finally learn about homosexuality or trans gender stuff, they will see it as deviant, weird, abnormal, and wrong.

There is actually some solid proof, which we have looked at and discussed in the past. They basically exploit their biggest followers either financially or sexually, or both.

Everything disappears. That's life. Be ware the mistake of conflating Truth and permanence. They are not identical. Impermanence is as absolutely true as permanence.

Most Buddhists are morons.

What traditional morality is really pointing to is simply this: being God-like/selfless. There is nothing "wrong" with being selfish, but selfishness is self-defeating and creates suffering for yourself and others. So the more selfish you are the more you will suffer. This is karma. It's just like pissing into the wind. Selflessness is pissing with the wind. Traditional morality tries to codify selflessness with rules, and this of course is not true selflessness because true selflessness must come from consciousness, not rules, which is why some of the most "moral" people are actually the cause of great suffering. True selflessness cannot be aped, it must come from God-consciousness and a genuine surrender of your self. Traditional morality is an attempt to make people selfless by all possible means except the most important one: raising one's consciousness. This is why moral people are usually devils in practice. The paradox of morality is that to be truly moral you have to realize that nothing is bad or wrong, since everything is relative. This is the discovery of Love. It is not wrong to be an asshole. But being an asshole has consequences (karma). Which is why the wise strive to not be assholes in the same manner as they avoid sticking their tongue in electrical sockets.

Congrats! The reality is that most one nights stands are pretty lame. The sex isn't good because it feels awkward with a stranger and it can be hard to relax and enjoy it. Plus condoms. But the biggest problem is when you pull a girl you're not attracted to. The lesson for you here is: pull hotter girls who actually turn you on. And then have sex with her multiple times. Sex starts shallow and get deeper with time. But also, next to proper jerking off, sex isn't actually as good in most cases. It's hard for a girl to please you better than you can please yourself. The best part isn't the sex itself, it's the human connection before and afterwards. Sex is sorta overrated. The anticipation of it is better than the act itself. Don't get bummed out. Find hotter girls and keep trying. You'll have some amazing experiences at some point. Also, some girls are way better at sex than others. Many girls aren't good at it.

Great! Now do that 5000 times and you'll be solid

Stop equating awakening with morality.

It makes sense. But most high school kids are idiots, so don't expect them to mentor you. Yes

You guys are really spreading low quality political garbage in this sub-forum. This is a homophobic bill. If you keep spreading stuff like this on here, expect bans.

Some report that. Not me personally. You reach insights and see things that you would not otherwise reach. Tons of spiritual work is achieved. It's not just a function of the chemical but your baseline genetics and also your curiosity and spiritual contemplations. 5-MeO is particularly good for the omniscience realizations though, in my experience. No, you lose all control. There is nothing to control because reality is Perfect. The ego will not get the ability to control God.

None of your business. FYI, getting lots of girls has never been my interest.

He's not Yellow. What I said was his openmindedness is an example of a stage Yellow quality.

Not yet

People posting material or videos on this forum which deny Russian war crimes will be issued warning points and/or banned.

Both can work, both have their pros and cons. It's about finding what aligns with you and your partner(s). It's gonna be difficult either way. There is no easy fix to relationships. They require work.

Not really surprising. Corruption will infect every political group.

Definitely Keep digging deeper.
