@Gesundheit I've seen these types of people on news, some on social media sites I venture, and some in person, so it's not limited to it being in the internet. There are also some here that exhibit similar patterns like that. However, even though these types do sometimes take cancel culture into more negative tones than necessary, it's also important to try to understand where their coming from, as a lot of them genuinely are alienated for whatever reason, so it's much better to find ways to understand them more and demonize them less. The polarizing and demonizing is usually what creates more extreme social justice warriors.

This is what it looks like when you do online dating correctly. Great advice.

Update: I've finished completing another room for Crysty. To give an impression of what the interior patterns look like, this image is similar to those walls and ceilings: Also, the hallways that connect to this room look similar to this in colors, with more ordinary objects:

I do exercise 1-2 times a week, but sometimes 3 times a week. I also do long walks daily as well, and mainly do isometric types of exercises and calisthenics sometimes after isometric sessions. These help me keep my leanness, along with walking.

@Seraphim Enlightenment is quit paradoxical.

@Phyllis Wagner The leeching is what it is when it comes to trying to create short-term relationships with people, not just in online dating. It's rare when the parties involved don't want anything out of the dating or relationship that benefits just them. The few ways of making it not leeching is the massive failures done by an individual, that the individual's ego is humbled. That's really why other people push you to date face-to-face as often, because those failures eventually get you to chill naturally. besides them having a bias and projecting their experiences onto you. I do agree this stuff needs to eventually be regulated, but that opens up other possibilities of regulation not just for online dating, but other aspects of the internet. If you are in a position to go forward with your proposal for regulation, do it. Otherwise, focus up on your actual priorities first, other than chasing tail. If you increase your value in other areas of your life, it will help you with dating life. And don't be stupid with cold approaching, because of Covid at the moment, but like I said, after you get vaccinated, try going to local areas, or travel to other areas that facilitate cold approaching easier. Also, don't get too obsessive with dating, as that does tend to backfire in other parts of life. When you're done, move on.

I've always thought that it's worded 'Wholeon' instead of 'Holon', just from the phonetic sound of the word. It's a funny kind of weird.

@Phyllis Wagner As soon as you get vaccinated, start doing cold approaches, pretend to like the process, face-to-face. It sounds like you've done all you can with online dating. Maybe start with another website than tinder so you're not limited in online dating options, but when possible do cold approach as soon as it's safe to do so. Don't rely on a stranger's view of your way of dating.

@Zizzero Humour is largely context sensitive, so open to re contextualization that in one situation, the humour is positively received, yet change the target of the humour, and how the humour is delivered, the humour is negatively received, and get offended. Consciousness may help with when or when not to use humour.

@NOTintoxicated Normally I wouldn't wish too strongly for a person's demise, as that wanting, followed by thinking and story making, and anticipating the release of emotions and relief for such an outcome/situation to happen, has and always somehow comes to haunt the person later in life. Can also happen with less negative wishful thinking as well. Gives the subconscious mind mixed signals to follow through, which can be dangerous long term.

If I had to redo my entire education, There would be a lot of changes I would make. Here are a few I'd do real quick: Train to visualize and hold multiple objects, big and small, in my mind, and compare/contrast mentally, in as much detail and duration. Train my concentration, mindfulness and meditation. Develop a like for challenging topics, instead of procrastinate for the majority of the time. Take the majority of my free time into building skills on fields/topics I like. Avoid video games and junk foods like the plague. At the very least, long periods of abstaining from these. Side note, your approach is good to me, because making these videos acts like a supplementary training for the mind to hold various objects and situations in an imagined mental space, in relation to the self concept and other concepts.

@Stomatopod Maybe humour is bad when it comes from making fun off of a person's troubles, life, and circumstances, rather than the human condition itself. Most humour does rely on some put down of aspects of people and reality, which makes it harder to find genuine humour.

Good video. Just might be what I need to get rid of my phantom pain.

On a side note, it's just not okay to use humour here in the forum if it risks. Humour wastes time.

RIP.

Update: I experienced a minor insight. For the past few weeks I taken a break from the forum and limited my internet use to help me focus more on developing than awakening. Recently ,every morning and night, I did goal setting, positive affirmations and visualizations, basically basic self help to train my subconscious mind towards my goals. I've done affirmations and visualizations a couple of years ago but floundered about, not being consistent, to the point I got fed up and shifted more towards awakening(meditation, concentration, self inquiry, contemplation etc.) than development of myself. For the past week I've switched locations in my imagination sessions to see how she would be. Today I sat down to meditate and engaged in my imagination sessions with Crysty. I borrowed a location of a beach I've visualized in the past and we did some meditation + activities. I then for some odd reason felt emotional and suddenly I wondered about why the beach is more realistic and vibrant than I imagined. Then an insight occurred: I kept imagining this beach, and I kept being with Crysty. Being with Crysty forced me to be more focused on my senses and I realized I was also simultaneously visualizing her. Visualizing her for most of the day + basic visualizations of my other goals and locations on the world had slightly overworked my mind's eye. However, I kept getting better until I could clearly recreate any object I saw a few seconds ago, like an apple, in my mind. Yesterday I even began to make parts and piece them together to make some kind of machine and Cysty was just looking at what I'm doing silently. Is an insight this simple? I mean I was expecting an insight to be shocking but I was more shocked at how simple it is. It seems to have an emotional force behind it as well.

@SS10 Because things don't like being eaten every time.

@Opo ?

This debate is about socialism and capitalism. Here, we get to see how a socio-libertarian's view and bias unfolds with a determinist's, due to them having a history. Also good to note the can of worms on the video.

What I don't like about this is that the satire here is ok from the outside, but when any user here uses satire here in the forum, as their own sense of humour to make a point in a discussion here, at least a warning is issued. Satire isn't a good look for whoever uses it.

So far, it seems to me that Destiny was slightly ahead of this debate in terms of his delivery. As always, I've yet to see some other person, maybe Ben Shapiro or Jordan Peterson, who could roughly match against Destiny's rhetoric. Good job on Vaush keeping up with Destiny, but sometimes even he struggled to keep up with his pace.

First of all, slow down and give yourself some time to reflect and process the feelings and emotions you're feeling. I'd start there first, before doing anything else.

@Origins This is why visualization of different contexts, and working on experiences in detail and increasing the scope, is so important. I've found that doing both contemplation and visualization work very effective, before committing to a craft big time, you can trouble-shoot many times beforehand. Only contemplating logically, for me, tends to put me more in boredom. Only visualizing, while it really works on imagination, can be too weird and random for me without knowing he context. Doing a bit of both helps a lot.

The following video is a reaction to 'the cut' and the segment is about a group of people, each member represents a minority group, deciding who's justified in being awarded 1,000 dollars. The following mental gymnastics and victim minded dynamics that results is worth watching, from the two reactors and the participants of the show: If you have thoughts to share or questions, feel free to share.

@Hardkill Your welcome! Good luck on your dating progress.
