I used to think this way but the truth is the amount of leverage you get from joining the military is very high. - Strongest network that supports the hell out of each other probably beats being in a top state school - If you sustain permanent injury or something major (which is highly likely) you get medical and a few thousand dollars each month which covers living expenses + whatever job you have when you get out. Personally I think I regret not doing it. But it is definitely not my vibe. Im also ADHD so maybe that's why I struggle to build my life up. - But personally I think getting education for free via military is dumb. You can easily pay this off with a good job or find ways to not get loans while in school if youre smart.

With a lot of in-house stuff the roles are often hybrid 3 days in the office 2 from home. Or even fully remote. Granted you still need to put in the hours. If you just want to a contractor or something where you set your own schedule (where it's like commission based) then that another story.

Lowkey the new pope’s a W.

But Pope Leo...

I've never really felt like he was saying anything. Word salad. Word salad. And the crowd claps and cheers like some earth shattering insight or truth was said.

Is it because the Garden of Eden can’t quench the real thirst? i.e. the need to merge with the infinite Or else be condemned to eternal dissatisfaction. Is it because religion’s dead, and now most people are just floating through life, each with their own internal operating system, leading to a fundamental sense of isolation? I remember when Lil Uzi Vert dropped that line: “All my friends are dead, push me to the edge.” I went to the club one night and everyone was singing it. It was weird. Everyone’s out with their friends, yet we’re all singing lyrics about a person in this existential drift -- the loneliness of existence, the kind that comes after deep betrayal, the kind that makes you feel alone even when surrounded by people. It’s crazy that so many people resonate with it—half a billion views on YouTube. Was it just catchy, or were we all feeling that same disconnection, like we’re wandering through an existential wasteland? It’s that feeling of being alone in the desert, even when you’re surrounded by mirages we call "people". Maybe socializing with other humans gives us a sense of relief. But it’s just temporary. A fantasy we cling to, to cope with the loneliness and despair underneath.

Eh I mostly feel that when I’m around people. For the most part I love being alone. Unless I go extended periods. A few minutes here and there of interaction + 1 day a week of longer interaction keeps negative feelings at bay.

Which is such a fucking r*tard*d and narcissistic trend. The amount of damage that these brain rot Tik Tok trends have on society by people applying them at scale without further critical thinking.

You must become a good friend to yourself first. Which we are not if our standards are so low to begin. Partly because we don't know any better. There is no discernment. I've been spending a lot of time alone lately. And have had a sort of culture shock when I socialize again. In the worst way possible. It really is disappointing. Which is why I said in the first line: You must become a good friend to yourself first. Anyway, thank you for your insight.

Yeah... that's why I have basically fed ChatGPT a shit ton of personal information (bad idea maybe) and it says I am INFP even though I always got different results on tests. I feel that gives less room for bias because I just expressed, as earnestly and unfiltered.

Potentially but NOT the way we are currently going about it. Canadians seem universally repulsed by the recent theatrics.

Lol trump trolling the libs. He's not really going to invade Greenland or Canada. Well, actually that would benefit them. Canada would be lucky to join the US. It could be a good thing. Nah bro he's just trolling lol. Shouldn't have come here illegally. That will never happen to me, I'm an American citizen, Trump wtf Tesla is down. Fix this now! Man, I regret not voting for Kamala. Rich influencers in a nutshell.

If you're having doubts already, you know the answer.

Had me at the edge of my seat!

Leo Free Tour 2026?

@Breakingthewall Or blue eyes and blonde hair on the Super Saiyan race?

Absolutely this is big time. So many negative emotion loops persist because of the broken breathing pattern. I try to do HRV breathing usually between 4-5 Breaths per minute using an app 1-2x a day. Easiest way to do it is by implementing diaphragmatic breathing to lengthen the breath cycles, with the out breath slightly longer 60:40 ratio. And on the breath out let go of all the physical tension.

What about hookup culture in bigger cities like Sex and the City? Tbh I do see what you describe being the case with the women I have observed. When you watch the pickup artist stuff or spend time at night clubs it gives the impression that women are highly promiscuous. But that's an illusion as well. An extreme version of reality.

You doing good in NYC in terms of pickup? Have never done amazing anywhere I lived. But I was intermediate-ish with some advanced tendencies. Probably sticking points that held me back that I am blind to. I am considering moving there for career/business/social

Not that hard to make 1 billion when you starting point is half a billion. It's not that impressive. I don't doubt he has some ability. Would you be impressed if I posted pictures on IG wearing my dad's Rolex — sitting inside his Lamborghini with the door swung upward?

Yeah because you have to be smart enough to interpret what they are telling you in those classes. I mean it's kinda in your face but even then people overlook. Like when they make you read all those 1984s, Brave New World. Or when they tell you about all those evil imperialistic nations over the centuries. And then the US literally does the same thing but says it's because "terrorism". Being able to see through that stuff.

The difference between a bird and a crocodile is a few hundred million years of evolution and an entirely different class of animal. The difference between male and female? A slight genetic remix — if that. Pretending it's a chasm is false equivalence and hyperbolic.

Part of the reason I was afraid to do psychedelics was because of that loss of control over the 'edit' mode Dr K talks about. I do a lot of other stuff though like Bio Energetics, Reichian Therapy, long walks, etc... and honestly it helps process and feel your emotions more fully. Also not trying to do some crazy heroic dose but starting lighter on trips. Do that a few times.
