Naturally. Everything is always improving in the long-term.
Sorry, I don't buy this logic.
Running from/fighting with cops is a very bad idea no matter what color you are, but especially if you black. It's dangerous all around. And even if you are black the statistical chances of you being killed by a cop while arrested is like 1 per million if you don't try to flee. So fleeing is just the dumbest possible idea. It shouldn't get you killed, but that is legit a risk.
Being sloppy is not an excuse, it is what happened. People make mistakes. I'm sure she feels like shit about it. And she will still be tried for manslaughter. It is manslaughter but I would not hold her morally guilty for murder because she obviously made a simple mistake, which all of us are capable of on the job.
She worked under pressure for years. And today she made 1 simple mistake, which will be the worst mistake of her life. I'm sure she will regret it for the rest of her life. It's tragic on both sides. But that's life. If she gets a sentence I prose it should be very light.

You dress like a boy.
Start dressing sharp, like a man:

 

Not if you're a Boomer
Remember to give Boomers some leeway with their outdated Boomer ways. You'll be glad you did once you turn into a Boomer yourself.

“The first gulp from the glass of natural sciences will turn you into an atheist, but at the bottom of the glass God is waiting for you." -- Werner Heisenberg
@trenton Maybe you should actually study the greatest scientists
There is nothing scientific about atheism, rationalism, materialism, or realism. It's all pure fantasy.
If you actually start questioning reality you will see that 50% of sicence is bullshit.

You gotta factor in inflation. Inflation will cause both stock values and house values to rise.
The whole point of a house is that it's an inflation hedge. That's mostly why I bought my house.

1) Dan Crenshaw's eye is the least funny thing about him. No need to stoop to such lows when we got the stupidity of his ideology to work with.
2) Keep in mind Vaush is still in his late 20's. He's basically a big teen. He will mature a lot over the next 10-20 years. Considering his age he's doing pretty well. When I was his age I was so immature and dumb. Age matters A LOT.

There is an epic difference though between your normal interactions with your parents and you being conscious that you imagined them.
The difference is shockingly huge. It's fucking freaky. Most normies would think they've lost their minds if it happened to them.
But I highly recommend it

What must be deeply understood is that reason serves ego. Reason is NOT a function of truth or facts. Reason is designed to justify whatever serves the ego.
In the case of the alt-right and these genetic IQ debates, a stage Blue/Orange ego is working backwards from its conclusion that European civilization must be superior. (Notice how convenient is it that these egos happen to be European! What a shocker ) So they turn to "science" and "genetics" to solidify that fantasy in their own minds.
That's what all this is really about. It has nothing to do with truth, facts, actual intelligence, or reality.
What all of the alt-right boils down to is identity politics. They are trying to preserve their white male European identity in the face of a culture, society, era which is forcing us to adopt more global and inclusive identities. Their egos are scared of adopting a wider, more inclusive sense of self. That's all. The rest is just their justification games. "Science" and "reason" is used in these games because it lends an air of authority and truthfulness. After all, "How can one be wrong with science on one's side? Science is just objective facts, man! Facts don't care about your feelings. The data doesn't lie." LOL
In reality there is no such thing as "data". There's ego cherry-picking & interpreting data to boost its survival.
See, the devil always cloaks himself in a veneer of "truth".

You should chase living an authentic life aligned with your top values, your top passions, helping spread truth, consciousness, love, and beauty across the Universe via which ever way most excites you and suits your unique strengths and talents.
You are right that you should not just sit around twiddling your thumbs. You should be constantly working on your life purpose and evolving yourself towards that end.
Life is short. Don't squander it sitting around in confusion and inaction.
False success is chasing what others tell you is good.
True success is devoting your life to expressing the Love that you have for the world in your unique way, and doing so skillfully and eagerly.
False success will not make you happy, but true success will.

Overrated
He could not break his mind out of materialism and realism.

@KGrimes Your problem is very simple, you are hitting on too few girls. When your numbers are so low you will constantly be frustrated because the reality is that this is a numbers games. If you hit on 5 girls a year, chances are that none of them will pan out no matter how good you are. If you hit on 1000 girls per year, now you'll get some results.
Talk to more girls. Don't expect any one of them to pan out. Don't focus on attracting any one girl -- that's just a recipe for misery. Girls will be extremely fickle and flakey until they sleep with you. So the trick is to hit on lots of girls and don't hold your breath for anyone particular one to sleep with you. Majority of them won't.
It's just like sales. It is foolish to hinge your entire business on one customer. Your business should be structured such that you are so busy no particular customer matters. You shouldn't need any customer's business and you should be willing to lose it without a hint of threat to your business.
The paradox is that when you structure your business this way, more people will want to buy from you. And more girls will want to sleep with you.
That's creating abundance vs being stuck in scarcity. It's counter-intuitive and girls will tell you they don't want that. But practice they love it because it os am honest signal of a high value guy. A high value guy has lots of options and girls can smell it and they LOVE the smell even though they will deny it if explicitly asked about it.

Depends on your time horizon. In 500 years mankind will be unrecognizably more evolved.

@DnoReally
   Conservativism is not a fear based political ideology. Conservativism is rooted in conservation, and the need to conserve systems. Conservativism done right preserves systems and safe guards against changes too fast or too rushed, which can lead to civil unrest, to civil war. So, what is happening with Conservativism? Most modern conservatives I see mistreat conservatism, and add values more from traditionalists and Republicanism, with some nationalism and patriotism, even some from religion.

This is shadow work 101.
Basically the child's mistake (now that's he's an adult) is to disown the fact that being abusive is not just a thing "others" do, but that he is also capable of it. By realizing that being abusive is also a part of him, he can integrate it and heal. Otherwise he will forever be resentful because he feels that abuse should not have happened to him because he would never do such a thing himself. But the truth is that he would do such a thing himself if he was placed in that situation.
At an even deeper level he can become conscious that all the abuse that exists in the Universe is literally his own self.
With deep enough consciousness you will realize that whoever abused you, was actually your own self! So you abused yourself. And when you realize that, you can forgive yourself, accept yourself, and heal.
Try to fathom this: you literally ARE every rapist in the world who has ever lived. Rape is not something some "other" "bad guys" do. Rape itself is construction of your own Universal Mind. When you realize this, you stop disowning rape, and you accept yourself as a rapist (even if your human body has never raped anyone). It doesn't matter what your human avatar did or didn't do. Once you realize you are the whole Universe, anything that occurs in the Universe is part of you. Since your true identity is Infinity, that means you are a rapist.
If you are God, and God is Everything, then God is rape, and you are rape.
A bitter pill to swallow
But should you swallow it, you will become Whole.
What parts of yourself are you disowning? Hint: everything that you consider "not-me".

Self enquiry, vipassana, yoga. Long practices.
Psychedelics. You have to stop playing around and just decide to change. Your not weak...stop acting like it

It's racist that you aren't sexually attracted to goats.
How dare you!

This!
Marrying a Puerto Rican woman don't mean shit.
The mind is clever enough to compartmentalize and make such justifications as part of its self-deception.
"Look, I can't be a heartless rich person because I donate money to the poor once a year." Lol. The mind is masterful at such bullshit.
A slave-owner might genuinely tell himself, "How can I be a racist when I have sex with my slaves? And I treat them so well!"
The mind will never accept the label "racist" because it's far too ugly to admit that. So denial all the way to the grave.

I explain much of this in: How Society Evolves.
IQ is less a function of race and more a function of social development and wealth.

@Ampresus Relative to what? Pizza and fries?
Questions of healthiness are always relative to what you're comparing to.
And canned tuna ain't the same thing as fresh wild Alaskan salmon.
The biggest concern with fish is heavy metal toxicity. You shouldn't eat too much of it.
Stay away from predatory fish like swordfish, tuna, mackerel, shark, bass, etc. as they contain the most heavy metals. Smaller fish are generally safer than bigger fish.

There are many degrees of quality to psychology. It can be done poorly, it can be done exceptionally.
The trick is that you cannot have an accurate understanding of psychology without personal experience jailbreaking your own mind, which requires excellent grasp of epistemology, metaphysics, and spirituality.

My diet is not relevant to you because I have unique healthy conditions and some disorders.
I also change my diet a lot as I test various things.
The healthiest diet for most people is plant based whole foods.

Zen is a hyper-macho old-school Japanese tradition. And Stage Blue isn't known for its light-heartedness.
Religious purists tend to be the serious sort.

Well here at actualized.org you are the only one denying it. You are the one with the problem. I don't see any of the other posters denying the simple fact that everyone is a racist to some degree.

Everyone is a racist to some degree. Failing to see this is self deception or denial.
Saying that Everyone is a racist to some degree is not normalizing racism. It is understanding it. It is acknowledging that it is an intrinsic part of being a human being. It is self acceptance and self love.

Cast iron skillets are awesome. You need to season them before use and do it occasionally again (not after every meal) but they are amazing and really fun way of cooking. Can put them in the oven too.
