100 CAD = 72 USD = 64€ So I pay 768€ for the year & I am student.

Holy shit what city is that? I pay 100$ a month for that in Montréal

Those conjoined twins are sooo cute I couldn’t hold back my tears. People take just being a normal functioning human for granted it’s crazy.

Hit the bell.

Sweet I’ll dig in tonight before bed!

I like to train less, more often. At least everyday. I don’t feel right if I don’t get my heart rate up each day. That being said I couldn’t care less about putting on muscles so don’t take your advice from me. I want ninja body & ability. Skill based training is most fun to me. I’m not huge but I am ripped. I don’t know how this shit works. For god’s sake please take your advice from someone else.

How does he adjudicate whether his own take is the shit he’s talking about or not? If his opinion is shit than he’s wrong & truth can be found inside oneself. If his opinion his not shit than that makes it shit cause his reasoning & argument came out of inside his own mind.

I’ve owned many pairs of ear buds. One of them the same brand (soundcore) & they all died within months. On top of sounding like ear buds. Ear buds just suck overall imo doesn’t matter the brand. Headphones are superior in every way except discreetness.

Thanks for the reminder. I can always use more gratitude.

Mark Manson recently updated his format. First 4+hrs episode is coincidentally about value.

Never thought of myself as particularly funny but I was having a course about stage presence last year & I was asked if I think I have a good sens of humour. I said « well I do laugh a lot » & that made the room laugh. What I am getting at is to find things funny & to laugh at things. Do you laugh at yourself when you’re alone? For instance, the other day I made a protein shake & started shaking it with the lid cracked. It made a gigantic mess all over my kitchen for the 10th time at least(I always do this). I couldn’t do anything but to roll around on the floor suffocating from laughter. Those things wouldn’t win a comedy award but that’s my point. Comedy is how you look at things & what’s in your heart when you look at them. If you wanna make others laugh now is a different story. You gotta cater to your public somehow. Humour works based off shared cultural expectations & the subversion of them. Just like musical meaning.

Hi my name is not Leo . Think of it like your diet. Eating an apple is not bad for you. It’s actually good for you. But it’s a bad idea to start eating only apples. No one has it 100% figured out on their own. No one method or way of doing things works all the time in all contexts & circumstances(that’s silly, life has nuance). If your goal is to be smarter than yeah of course reading & synthesizing 100+ books/perspectives is better than 1.

Green beans raw yum 😋 Potato raw evil 🥔 Cucumber raw yum 😋 Eggplant raw evil 🍆 !!!!!! Am I foolish to let my mouth tell me which vegetables are good raw?

Why do behaviours like meditation, psychedelics, yoga, breathwork, etc seem to increase consciousness whereas addiction, lying, eating unhealthy foods, etc seem to decrease consciousness? It doesn’t make sense to me that consciousness would limit itself to specific behaviours but at the same time it is my experience that some behaviours work to increase consciousness while others do the opposite. Why aren’t addicts awake & why do supposedly awake people act like very limited sage-like characters? Only exception to this I can think of is Alan Watts. Could consciousness just awaken to itself in the most dysfunctional humans or even animals spontaneously?

Is there a light at the end of the tunnel? I was hoping for it. I was expecting it. I talked to my friend who has quite a bit of experience doing vipassana about all this & he pointed out that that might have been a mistake.
