Same. That bob is exceptionally masculine, I have to say.

Pretty much. Hanafism and Salafism are essentially that - interpretations of the degree to which one should take the Quran literally. You can also have pretty spiritual versions of the religions, such as Sufism and Eastern Orthodox Mysticism. Both of those have very little to do with rules and more with spiritual practices. -

Wouldn't say so. I myself do not support the free immigration policy of the EU, it clearly wasn't sustainable. Now they are in fact paying Turkey to keep them there: https://www.politico.eu/article/the-eu-is-helping-turkey-forcibly-deport-migrants-to-syria-and-afghanistan/, so the even EU agrees having seen the consequences. The point was more so towards the framing of OP and was not meant as a character attribution, rather pointing to the simple origin of the bias - irrational and highly biased ideas about a group of people. -

The definition is "Islamophobia is the irrational fear of, hostility towards, or prejudice against the religion of Islam or Muslims in general" Strawmanning and gross oversimplification are prejudices by definition "preconceived, biased, or irrational attitude or belief about a person or group, often based on their perceived characteristics" Refusal to engage with facts that I just provided about the history and interpretation of Islam and instead assuming that I am muslim (in fact the opposite, my family fled from genocide perpetuated by muslims) demonstrates hostility and refusal to accept arguments do not have to come from a personal identification - definition of irrational. Should I keep going? -
I am not.

I was raised Eastern Orthodox and not Muslim, so watch your projections. One doesn't need to be from a particular religion to see the clear biases. I was raised in the Balkans, so I am describing to you first-hand experience. Secondly, observe that OP is talking about Islam specifically and not SD Blue stage in general, which makes his general framing islamophobic, building on top of gross oversimplifications, as I pointed out above. Suppression of women is not a feature of islam, but of a specific school of islam, which can be categorized by highly fundamentalist/ stage Blue dynamics. But that doesn't encapsulate the entirety of religion. The Catholic Church was involved with the slave trade. Does that make all christians colonialists? Step out of the bubble. -
@Sugarcoat Def him. Bro not tired from inflammatory posts.

@Lyubov I've been on and off with people for the last 2 years and I still can't get the ex before that out of my head. As @Princess Arabia said, sometimes one girl just hits deep. You gotta move on tho. Meet some people, socialize. May take time, but it will eventually fade.
-
@Princess Arabia Regretfully for many is not an objective/ moralist statement. it literally means many people regret their jobs. Of course nothing makes one thing "worse" than another, all that is human shit. But when you are physically surrounded by it, you will wish for a different job.

Never had much choice. Them deadlines not waiting for no one. Grab some tea, put on a hoodie or jacket and carry on if you have to.

You not gonna see a "devote Christian" in sling bikini. Of course it's up to the spiral stage. Pull up to an Albanian beach and you will see many muslim women in thongs. That range of cognitive development under the same framework (be it christian or muslim or whatever else) is precisely why it is indeed a gross oversimplification. -
Used to do hour thirty every day. A lot of purification simply for having to handle everything bubbling up, making you try and get up. Still, nothing beats psychedelics. Meditation is a good foundation to start with and something to fall back on, but don't expect it to take you very far.

Hah, you will be surprised how true that is. Reminds me of Andrew Shulz's show in Saudi Arabia joking about precisely this. -
Regretfully for many, this is indeed the case. Not everyone can be a musician or 'businessman/woman", cuz then society would stop functioning. Of course, the techno-utopian dream of AI and automation states this will eventually be replaced, but for the time being, this is the case.

The hijab and burka is required per the Salafi school of Sunni Islam, and is similar to the one practiced by the Taliban (Deobandi). The Balkans have large Muslim populations (Bosnia, Albania, Turkey) which practice the Hanafi School of Sunni Islam, which does not require women to cover themselves. Be careful not to make gross oversimplifications without first at least trying to familiarize yourself with the history and interpretations of Islam. Shows general laziness. -
Epistemic humility for me means giving credit where credit is due, which should include yourself if you have done the due diligence to make sure no one before you has said/done it.

I've experienced telepathy with my twin and premonition/ synchronicity loops. The waviness/ shakiness of existence for me happens all too often. If I stare at the floor for 5 seconds, it starts "breathing". -

Existence is spiritual, so spirituality never ends. There are infinite degrees. -
Thing is, the conflict in Ukraine has been going on since before Hillary said anything. The article correctly points out the protests against Putin as the decidable shift in his politics - from economic to fearmongering and imperialism. Russia has been sponsoring Donbas insurrectionists since 2012-2013 and later engaged in all out war (Donbas War 2014): https://www.vox.com/2014/9/3/18088560/ukraine-everything-you-need-to-know The truth is, Russians view Ukraine as a “rightful part” of their land. This is what Putin was blabbering to Tucker Carlson about “Kievska Rus”. The “Russia vs. NATO” is just part of the mythology, aligning Russia as part of the new “multipolar” thesis of geopolitics along the likes of China, Iran and North Korea. This is another example of his stated aim back in 2011 - https://www.theguardian.com/world/2023/may/05/we-knew-putin-would-attack-ukraine-back-in-2011-says-bill-clinton

Cute. If this is actually your justification, then it shows pretty strong cognitive bias. Shit been going on since before this guy graduated high school. It also doesn’t account for all the encounters in our country, some 2700 km away. Your argument is epistemically equivalent to the “light cloud refraction” for flat earthers. -
Thanks for sharing. Outside of psychological techniques, the answer is workout. I’ve had aggression due to trauma for a large part of my life. Redirecting and channeling it the out exercise is what has made me relentlessly driven (also super fit) Study proper stage Red and not its caricatures.

Yeah, nah. UFOs are not a US psyop, they are real. Many similar reports in the Soviet union and satellites as well. -
I haven’t tried MDMA, but smoking prior to the peak smoothes it out for me and removes the stomach irritation I seem to always have on high doses of LSD.

Because there is no “bottom”/base of reality. By nature of infinity, whatever you think is the foundation/depth is, you can go deeper. Question is, are you ready for what is lurking there? -
The binary debate of free will vs. determinism is characteristic of a stage blue/orange cognitive structure and the corresponding dissonance. Instead of this false dichotomy, why not consider “degrees of freedom”? You clearly have a choice of what you are doing throughout the day, no matter how much you try and philosophise. On the other hand, it doesn’t seem like you can grow a third hand, however much you wish. So clearly there are aspects you have free will over and others that you don’t. At a certain level of consciousness, that boundary itself can start shifting.
