  1. Cool! I like the first song he played, too. I often wonder how different the neighborhoods I grew up in will look these days.
  2. Yup………I was in community college 3 years. Only half of the credits transferred, and I did poorly in the university. I have 2 Associate’s degrees and a Bachelor’s degree, though. And, of course, the debt that comes along with them. I started at the community college 2 weeks after I graduated high school, and I left the university at 26. Didn’t get my degree for another year because I had to retake a final and finalize everything with the thesis office. Let’s just say I don’t look back fondly on my life between the ages of 18 and 28.
  3. Awareness is the boundary. It is why the finite cannot grasp the infinite. There is always more outside awareness. There is everything else.
  4. People who spend their childhood in a certain environment tend to resemble that environment, and the ghetto is a chaotic environment. Very similar to “you are what you eat”. Were there any entitled pricks or pretentious know-it-alls at the college?
  5. NYC is more energetic, and London is more cultured. What are your goals? Which feels like less of a compromise to meet those goals?
  6. Feelings, perspectives, and beliefs are valid. Validity ≠ truth.
  7. Can the infinite have awareness without finitude? Can the finite exist without infinity?
  8. OMG, I love geography!!! I often wonder what life is like in different locations either as myself or as someone born and raised in the local culture.
  9. Just another opinionated person who’s been given a platform to voice his opinions. I think he’s pretty basic and not that problematic in the grand scheme of things.
  10. As I see it, there already is hatred of Jews as a baseline. So, the only thing that has changed is they prove they are capable of being the “bad guys” for once. The notion of Jews truly being safe in the Middle East seems far-fetched. Nukes and strong support from wealthy Western nations certainly has helped, though.
  11. Same here…
  12. It was a nice abridged, introductory video! Condensed it nicely!
  13. Man…if I was on lockdown for 14 weeks starting now, that would be amazing!
  14. If you want to embrace life, you must embrace change.
  15. Oh, this thread again! Like seeing an old friend. Not gonna happen. Unless I just jinxed it into happening, then more power to me! I mean, there must be a reason this hasn’t been locked yet, right? ?
  16. Yup, all feelings are valid! Including yours. I hope you’re feeling alright.
  17. Respect the journey. No need to rush to the destination. It’s inevitable.
