  1. @Husseinisdoingfine Most certainly it is possible. Started this work as a teenager in a fucked up household and country. I am currently in the US, finishing up an Ivy degree, having set up myself and my family. Only up from here. Stop feeling bad for yourself and bite the bullet.
  2. @EdgeGod900 The “follow your bliss” people have large red and blue shadows. In life you have to do a lot of miserable shit that will make you stronger and more disciplined. Forget the hippe slogans for now and drill down on your strengths and weaknesses, so you can set yourself up. Then you can choose to bask in the sun and meditate without any distractions.
  3. For being a waste of server space on this forum. I am yet to see a meaningful post from you.
  4. I wouldn’t use “purple” as a language qualifier, but I definitely resonate with your motivation. I speak 4 languages and want to learn Tamil next - spoken by 65 million people - it is the oldest Dravidian language with 60% of ancient texts in India being written in it.
  5. That’ll be you when he bans you, which will be soon enough.
  6. You not even American. The fuck are you going to do?
  7. You keep coming up with these low quality posts. You think anyone on this forum doesn’t realize what a lying and delusional person Trump is? Find something better to do with your time than scrolling through that brain rot on Tik Tok.
  8. I am not doing the pills, just the foam (rogaine). You don’t have to take them for life, I plan on using it for a year more.
  9. @Bobby_2021 You are the type to get eaten by the starved lion for thinking you can help. A communist dictatorship will break you. Kim Jong Un doesn't need your sympathy.
  10. Assuming you are guy for this answer, sorry if wrong. The higher your T levels, the more you will crave it. When I was younger I tried the no fap BS and all that, but it is just unsustainable. Most ppl who demonize porn have some repressed sexuality to have to address (like I did). Nothing wrong with it. Different people have different kinks/cravings. As with everything, there are definitely both high and low quality sources. Don't overdo it and you will be fine.
  11. There are definitely levels to it. There's fast food sex and there's some minblowing shit that will make you touch other dimensions - mnot even kidding. Finding a right partner is necessary for the latter.
  12. Change the pictures. Not that deep.
  13. Yah, that's normal. I am a powerlifter, squatting 405 lbs/180 kg for reps and I still find overhead squats hard. My problem is I have low mobility in my shoulder from all the benching, so I can't get proper form. Idk if it's similar for you, but my tip is to work on that mobility. Standing shoulder press helps for strength.
  14. First learn a valuable skill and then find a way to maximally automate it. All the passive income bros are parasites imo.
  15. Ditto. All the commie liberals need to go live in China or NK to understand what it really means. Tired of idealizations.
  16. Been using minox for my beard for like 13 months. No changes in libido or dick function lol. You are fine, stick with it.
  17. https://www.economist.com/europe/2024/10/17/hopes-for-religious-harmony-come-to-life-in-the-muslim-vatican
  18. Xaos =Chaos = Croc Eros = Entropy = Love Gaia = Truth = Order
  19. This was really impressive. Musk definitely needed this. California is trying to revoke his FAA licenses due to the tweets.
  20. Power rests on a lie. But when you are powerless, survival is much harder. Certain people have to rise to the occasion. Conscious leadership is possible.
  21. Arrogance is a psychological reaction to insecurity as means of over-compensating. Close-mindedness is related to cognitive bias - an epistemic filter/deadlock that discards opposing information and cherry picks that which is in support. It is often one appears with the other, for arrogance is a very “effective” way of finding an excuse to not examine something deeper - the mind after all has to work overtime for keeping its bias.
  22. Striving for “ultimate happiness” is IMO overrated. For me it is precisely the growth/ work of becoming someone that makes me fulfilled. It is also deeper, because even in the shittiest of days, I still feel I am doing the right thing. I tried being content with existence as is for almost a year. Too much resistance. I realized I have a lot of karma to burn through. Good thing is, bliss is always there to be found if you want to come back to it. So don’t feel bad at all for wanting to explore consciousness.
  23. Credit is simply an epistemic ground point - a source, a citation. When communicating new ideas, setting the correct context of the work that has been done and the unique contribution is of the utmost importance. Otherwise, it loses significant amount of meaning. In some absolute sense you are right that nothing “belongs” to anyone. But citations are in fact important because they are the only thing that distinguishes sophisticated knowledge from make-belief woo-woo. The current epistemological erosion due to social media is prime example. Misinformation flourishes in media that doesn’t do fact checking (a form of epistemic grounding/citation), so I would argued the singularity would be accelerated from higher not lower quality in citation, especially if we want to prevent rank collapse and the dead internet hypothesis becoming true.
  24. If it were someone else, I agree, but OP is known to make these types of posts coming from exactly a bigoted pov. There was a thread he started saying he wanted to kill all religious people. You can still find it. Hence, I chose a stronger tone. I have not taken offence, I just hope this teaches you to not be so quick with your assumptions. It is precisely what perpetuates the stereotypes and prevents dialogue.
