@BlessedLion I see what you did there...

@UpperMaster Here's what worked for me: Travel to other countries, few places to holiday and interact with different people. Have a few more hobbies, study 1 more language and world history. Few more there besides say meditation, contemplation, and so on. Basically all that and more gave me the realization that life is far more than your genetic potential, or chiseled jaw, or bon structure. One example is I have small hands, I don't have big enough hands say for wrestling or arm wrestling or even doing construction work, I don't have the physique advantages for labor intense work, but that didn't stop me from training my hands up, training my grip strength up. Now I have a bit more strength in my fingers, thumbs, and forearms to grip harder, and what's nice with smaller hands that most fighters or wrestlers miss, is that with big hands yes you can grip and wrap the other person's wrist or forearm in one go, but with smaller hands, thumbs and fingers you can't fully grasp a whole wrist or forearms, but you can dig into skin and flesh or grip some skin and clothes and generate more pinching pressure, to give your opponent in a competition a much harder time fighting your hold when you establish your grip.

@Leo Gura That's true. @Scholar Don't forget he's also from Ohio, and another place I forgot. His parent was Cuban, the other American, and he came from a big family that started off traditional/conservative. Went to college and had skills as a musician, worked odd jobs, ones being at casinos and others cleaning apartments. Destiny was actually lucky that stream and Twitch was a thing and happen around that time, if not he may have been a musician or some lawyer, but that moment online gaming was getting popular. And that's according to Destiny and some bits I can remember and saw, but take that with some grains of salt.

@Leo Gura True, that's Jordan Peterson. I still think he's got great psychological takes and a good way of communicating in abstracts, but falls off with his political takes. If he had great experiences with the left earlier on, I feel like he could have some decent takes, but he had some bad experiences with some socialists/progressives in the past, some difficulty with the more college elites, which pushed him into the arms of the more right wing and alt right, which he now is making more money from, so here we are, Jordan's kind of now stuck where he's at continuously dealing the shadows of the left and other shadows he has in his ego. Not to mention he's got those health issues and even mental issues he's having. Who knows what else is adding onto his troubles.

@Merkabah Star Yeah. He's from Colorado right? I recognized the background photo for I assume his high school? Reason I ask is this reminded me of when I was in middle-high school in the USA, in a Washington school, we did have photos for the year books right? So they had this same grey to dark grey background. Looking at his face, I do agree with you his eyes seem vacant, like he's looking far into the distance, eyes that have seen a lot of things in school, some things in the cafeteria or in locker rooms, some things that you really shouldn't have witnessed or experienced. I know a bit of Chinese face reading, so some stuff immediately jump out to me from just looking at his face, but I will withhold because that'll be 10 or so long paragraphs. Few things to note: he has a big chin, and his forehead is a bit wider than his lower half of the head, and that space between his eyebrows, that typically in face reading shows spiritual potential, which jumps out as very high for this person. I will say what a tragedy and waste of life. Shows you what bullying or early childhood trauma or being treated too differently can do to you. I see a bit of me in that picture long ago.

@Keryo Koffa @Yimpa just linked me this thread, so credit to him. Just WOW! I've been a member of this forum for about 4 years now, and when I was reading the usernames several names hit me with some nostalgia. Yeah I get what you mean. If you don't mind I'd like to share some whilst I can still remember, in no particular order, both good and bad experiences, most recent in mostly 2 sub forums I have been to: @Pretty, @Princess Arabia, @Forestluv, @Nahm, @Sincerity, @OBEler, @integral, @Michael, @Matt8800 or matt888 not sure, @Scholar, @zazen, @zurew, @Merkabah Star, @Husseinisdoingfine, @Karmadhi, @Raze, @SoonHei, @Ocean, @Leo Gura, @Emerald, @NoSelfSelf, @cactus, @Nivsch, @Vrubel. That's about it, definitely more, 40 or so but not coming to mind. Yeah some bad/good moments with them in my time here in the forum. A few names in there that are older than me, and a few no longer here, and a few that are interesting. I appreciate these moments a bit now looking back. Yeah gratitude once in a while feels good to do.

@Joshe There's no shot Leo is like Destiny. In fact if you're not aware, if you hate Leo this is the kind of comparison that person would make because if you know what I know of Destiny, then comparing Destiny to any person would be an insult to that person. And while I may have differences to Leo, I respect Leo enough to not compare him to Destiny. Just no.

@gambler Oh he was coming at me for another post. Lemme see, I was just saying to @Yimpa , because he made a post linking us that blog, most of us always be checking Leo's blog so you don't really need to announce it to us right? And that @joshua guy said something, and he I think even posted earlier my take on @zazen's post, which isn't attacking him, I was just asking the question to Zazen and just pointing out that Chris Hegens guy's thoguths, and @joshua gave a more extreme take and I was like man, not all Christians are like that, it's mainly a religious dogma problem mixed with Neoliberalism and being alt right, and @joshua then acted a bit offended and I was OK, you've name called and insulted me, seems you salty, ok Imma drop the debate and take the W. And that was that, and you hit me up with that Destiny post. Yeah he was coming at me but it was for something else...but thanks anyways for responding for me!😁👍

@gambler Sure, but what's that got to do with me? BTW I know that moment where Destiny did laugh, but actually it's how calm and collected he was about the entire thing, still performing to his audience whilst talking about Reckfull that was the disturbing part. And I do body language analysis and I can say maybe Destiny did have a connection to Reckfull but in reality it's more because of content making, of transactional relationship to him, like Destiny cares much more with what use and value you'll provide him in terms of numbers, views, revenue. In that respect he's actually similar to Elon Musk, except he's of course a great debater and is somewhere in the autism spectrum and has good political takes despite whatever strangeness is happening to Destiny.

@Joshe Nothing personal too. Just saying not all Christians are overlords and in powerful places, some are middle working class and some Christians are poor, just letting you know maybe you got hate for a religion just cuz of the religion. And same too I'm not intolerant of certain religions, but just some evil outcomes to certain religions. To me it's mostly the religious dogma and religiosity, not a specific religion per say, that misinterpreted what the prophet and founder of that religion was trying to say with their spirituality. And predatory capitalism and Neoliberalism in the mix too.

@Joshe How am I an absolute grouch? How am I bother by @Yimpa's link to a blog post we all would have notifications to let us know Leo's posting? It's not like we all didn't know or not check the blog post any other day. And I'm just pointing out some potential bigot and phobic points you may have in that post you did. But never mind that, since you're so heated and resorted to insults, I'll take my leave, let you figure out how to deal with your own heat.

LMAO! Somehow all the Andrew versus Matt Dillahunty videos tahe happened in the modern debate site are taken down! Like WHAT?!🤣

This is very interesting how he actually destroys Destiny and the others, both optically and logically:

Another demonstration, more on the charisma and persuasion:

@Yimpa Yeah we already know that. Why?

@zazen To address some of Chris's points: 1. The main issue isn't Christianity as a whole, but the alt right fascists/Nazis/ultra nationalists in your country, the religious dogma and capitalism on the excess, basically stage blue/orange tovicity. That's the main issue IMO because if you make it out as only the Christians right, then that's Christian phobia, similar to Islamophobia, like you're just attacking based more on religion and even politics. Therefore the main issue really is the political ideology, and being far right, not the religion for the most part. If Chris changed Christian right to Islam right, he'd be called Islamophobic. 2. Sure I agree that Neoliberalism is more likely the bigger factor in a list of combinatory factors involved that shapes our worldviews and political climate. I do think though that how we address and tackle Neoliberalism is where we'll have the bigger debate on because some methods of revolution are outdated and may encourage an increase in political violence. 3. I do understand where Chris might be coming from with him claiming we must overthrow corporates and find a way to take power from them. The main issue is that this guy seems like he doesn't realize the duality and cycle of the anti establishment/establishment, and what was anti mainstream is the new mainstream let's say. Like whatever you did or your group did to overthrow some establishment, that'll involve some violent acts and well your new group will become the new establishment, which later will have it's anti establishment groups in the future, see? So even if you get to overthrow corporates, a newer branded corporates will take it's place. Just like what Daniel Schmachtenberger said in his narrative progress video:

@Joshe Sure, but you've been posting some Christian phobia sounding takes, so at least curb the Christian hate down a bit will you?

@jimwell Gotta agree with the Japanese takes on this. And it made sense because they too had to deal with a lot of assassination attempts as well.

@Jannes Yeah, if there's genuine critique, you could critique why the security was like that lex about it, long enough for a high schooler to position himself to the shot, I mean that SS sniper guy actually had his sight on that guy, yet enough time for the shooter to do the act? OK that's a start.

Damn, I didn't know this rapper called Akala had this moment with Tommy: IMHO if I was in the room, I'd say I disagree with them all...Because Tommy's not a racist, he's a Nazi in British clothing!😂

My god these A.I generated diss tracks just hit harder. Drake's diss to Kendrick should've sounded as hard or even more than this, it's WILD!

@Joshe No, he actually is a sociopath. Like him joking about the Israel/Genocide conflict and 'nuking' Gaza, in one of his tweets, no such moral person would stoop so low like that. Trust me, ex fan here, Destiny is clout chasing, and isn't as good of a person you imagine him to be as he tends to say pretty wild stuff to try and farm public outrage for his content.

@Bobby_2021 Yeah, we'll see. Am surprised because Destiny said way worse in Twitter then. @mrPixel Yeah, wild west. Wonder if he'd tolerate Destiny if Destiny said dark joke about him? P.S. I see that HiRez's YT Channel dropped a quick video, yeah he using A.I. for rap songs, but this was a quick drop. Viewer discretion advised, strong language, it's rap so: 🤦‍♀️ although I did like that bar at the end.

I respect the speed and craft of the YT person making this rap song:

@mrPixel Yeah, it's a bit cringe for me. It's as if whatever Destiny posts he will not get the consequences in Twitter, IDK why that is. But anyways I'm done, missed out on 10 pages of this so I'm out.
