Oh old national security threat trick, a.k.a. some corporate interest.

My personal favorite, the Gospel of John, has a different scene—perhaps a Hellenic flavor. 25 Near the cross of Jesus stood his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. 26 When Jesus saw his mother there, and the disciple whom he loved standing nearby, he said to her, “Woman, here is your son,” 27 and to the disciple, “Here is your mother.” From that time on, this disciple took her into his home. The Death of Jesus 28 Later, knowing that everything had now been finished, and so that Scripture would be fulfilled, Jesus said, “I am thirsty.” 29 A jar of wine vinegar was there, so they soaked a sponge in it, put the sponge on a stalk of the hyssop plant, and lifted it to Jesus’ lips. 30 When he had received the drink, Jesus said, “It is finished.” With that, he bowed his head and gave up his spirit.

This observation feels quite true to me, and I believe it can be dangerous, both for ourselves and for others. When we become completely absorbed in something outside ourselves, it’s as if we are being pulled into an external gravitational field. In that state, we lose awareness of our own presence, our own inner landscape. What’s more troubling is that we don’t even notice this shift. Our attention gets hijacked, and we drift away from the world, and also our own inner grounding. In our current era, I believe we are living in a kind of permanent flow state; not the healthy, focused kind described in wikipedia, but rather a state of constant immersion in stimuli, distractions, and external narratives. It mimics flow, but lacks rootedness. It’s a form of disembodied engagement that can numb critical awareness. That’s why I would place self above non-duality. While in a ''positive sense and perhaps in common meaning'' non-duality emphasizes dissolution of boundaries and the merging with the “other,” I believe reclaiming a grounded sense of self is more vital in this time. We need a clear sense of who we are and where we stand before we can afford to dissolve into anything. I think, as long as average person is ''self'' it doesn't matter. Today I didn't ''notice'' any non-duality during my daily routine, in fact for me non duality is a study&practice ground, like actually doing something.

Of course it depends on your situation. If you're not living in a first-world country, for most young workers out there, online is the way to go. I never seen one with such life purporse. It’s not always about the money—real sex offers a chance to build a meaningful network, if you know how to filter out average clients. Older gen. workers often had doctors, lawyers, accountants, and others in their circle. There was a real social aspect to it, even if it was rooted in mutual benefit. I’m talking about a small percentage of workers who actually built their networks— to me, this also seem like a viable way which I suppose more beneficial for the worker. I know I am only good as my presuppositions. Perhaps another time Princess.

Online sexual services are much more desireable from women perspective, it offers the most safety, wide customer base, less mental stress. These type of service providers even refuse to provide real sex despite it's being more profitable, don't ask me how I know it. I blame men, they shape the market and they are lazy af.

He is a smart dude. @14:45 is a good example

I am sure you will recall lots of things from him.

The thing is, it's easier to fool people than to convince them they've been fooled. I mean, only a master vampire can get other vampires to drink animal blood instead of human blood.

Truth is any cast shadow is a rape.

Do we still have symbiotic culture chambers that decides what is is and what is not? In my country, I see people from, let's say, the opposite faction—or rather, the opposite "knowledge field"—because things are starting to move beyond the realm of politics, even if just a little. People are taking matters into their own hands, disrupting the exchange between those who define what is and what is not—those who benefit from others without giving anything back—while exposing them for taking more and more. For example, people are trying to be more conscious about their attention and resources. There's a Muse concert hosted by an organization with close ties to the government. People are angry about this and are even threatening their friends—saying that if they attend the concert, their friendship is over. It looks like Stage Green is forcing its will upon itself to create a more solidified & defined ground. This seems more like an "us versus us" scenario rather than the easy "us versus them." How about your place? When practicing daily life as a collective, larger cultural chamber, do you take your personal worldview into consideration and impose your will on your cultural chamber? What I noticed is constant action from, again, let's say, the opposite knowledge field because participants are not only pro-X or pro-Y. It would be wrong to use the terms "right" or "left." So this constant action I'm talking about caused interesting things to happen—like, who would have thought a bunch of right-wingers would defend a canceled, secular-looking franchise managed by a religious-looking businessman? These right wingers got alienated by other culture chambers in the process.

Muse did postpone their Istanbul concert due to involment from audience. This is shows coorperations are indeed vulnerable and they can't do whatever they want, if they want to milk capital, they should stick with their "right wing" people. I think you westerners should do that too.

If each state has AI like citizens there would be no collapse for a potential virtual state, then the whole concept of nation state becomes blurry. There are things to own and to protect, if these go away nation state would go away too.

Mine always looks like piegon droppings...

I need help with AI- models, my aim is diagnosing electrical circuits. So far only chat gpt allows me to feed the schematic to it's system, others are refusing the JPG,PDF or whatever is the visual format. It also does better technical analysis and suggestions. I like how flexible it is, I can just printscreen and feed whatever is on the screen right now. Other models felt like assistants, meanwhile gpt takes the lead and comes up with suggestions and comparisons, it is not able to reverse engineer the circuit but able to show the road for a novice electrician like me. Any advice for better efficiency or better platforms to work on?

If the question questions the questioner, does the one who asks the question get questioned?

Thanks ! Indeed it's acrylic, super easy to use.

I like laid back flowers.

Hey Justine, It's good that you are feeling your block. Your attention is your most valueable resource, spend it wisely.

There isn't one atm. I also paint, mostly acrylics on hardboard (duralit). I am not traditionally trained so my vision & subject also reflects that If you want we can follow each other on Instagram and check out eachothers art, or we can just post it right down here!

And I can't find this stuff https://x.com/tcmuglavaliligi/status/1878095595983757487

Welcome to the forum, Alex! Being biologically immortal—whether in a physical body, material construct, or digital form—seems like a waste of energy. Let me explain. As humans, we evolve through the concept of death and how we practice with existence. This doesn’t mean we aren’t immortal in some sense—it’s simply part of nature’s continuous cycle. Our bodies are tools for exploring biology. It’s shortsighted to believe that preserving these tools indefinitely grants us the immortality we seek. It might be a noble cause to pursue and attain immortality, but judging by biology—which defines our individuality—each person will have their own unique experience and approach to achieving it. Because of this diversity, I believe centralized methods are not suitable for such a purpose.

Who says MILFs don’t make direct approaches? When they see something—or someone—they want, they’ll take the initiative without hesitation. Often, it’s not just about the pursuit; it’s also about stirring envy among other married or divorced women in their circle. This boldness is part of their power play, a way of asserting dominance and confidence.
