Where's Waldo? What? This looks so uncanny.

We did it!

A combination of Federal workers not being paid due to the shutdown, and SNAP (Supplemental Nutrition Assistance Program | It's a government program to help people who cannot afford food) being cancelled and not delivered due to the shutdown has created a spike in people reaching out to food banks for essentials, such as diapers, baby formula, and other essentials. It's estimated that just yesterday, 1.4 million federal workers were not paid. That's the tragedy of this shutdown, politicians are playing with people's lives. The paychecks of congress are not being withheld, but the workers who have mortgages, tuition, car payments, and others are being withheld.

In my experience, you can drastically help this situation by moving to a city with an abundance of people. Try living in Europe.

I used to volunteer at a Christian food bank / charity. Maybe I should go back for a few days until this shutdown ends. Just as a kind gesture.

$400 million for a ballroom while the most vulnerable starve. Literally Marie Antoinette sh*t.

That is beautiful. I have been involved in a Buddhist order for quite a while, doing retreats here and there but then going back to my regular life. I do intend to become a monk for a year or two, eventually. Any advice before I do this? What books should I read? Did you attain anything? As in enlightenment.

I'd rather you be a Buddhist. Not saying Buddhism is good, its obviously not, but at least a Buddhist temple will teach you to meditate properly.

I met a woman recently in Montenegro who was 27, and I really think I had the time of my life. Me, her, and another woman went clubbing together, sat on the beach, and other fun stuff. You're still really young. Try going to Europe for a week.

Leo is a secret member of either the IRGC or Hezbollah, confirmed. I'm joking, of course.

I remember i was listening to Vaush, and he said something along the lines of; " There are millions of people every year pouring across the border, okay, and? "

Mainstream Muslim Imams hate Sufis. In my experience, normal muslims are mostly indifferent to Sufis, but the Wahhabi's and Salafists really hate their guts. The guy in the video above is a Salafi from Saudi Arabia btw. He can be called a Wahhabi, but he doesn't think that "Wahhabism" is real, and what is called "Wahhabism" is really just the purest form of Islam and therefore there is no need to label it as such.

Are you able to access Actualized.org without a VPN? I don't mean the YouTube channel, obviously, I mean just the website. Are you able to watch the videos through the site?

The classic Abrahamic texts, yes. But the Book of Mormon is a blatant act of charlatanry and plagiarism.

That is literally the plot of the movie, 'C.H.U.D'.

Do your quickest and best to get out of that job and develop some better source of income. Food service jobs are rough and you will be on your feet for hours a day. And that's the real danger of working a manual labor job, food service, and being a wage slave. You will come home so exhausted and tired from being on your feet for eight hours straight without any breaks, that when you come home you'll only want to sleep. You won't have the energy for building a better career or learning new skills.

I've been there, and most of the roads are made out of dirt. The capital city is super clean, but other than that there's not much else. Really bizarre country and a lot of soviet nostalgia everywhere you go

@Daniel Balan is officially the coolest member of this forum.

Based and NEET-pilled. But what do you mean "legally"? Do you not work or work under the table?

Also, hippie nonsense? Even ancient Egypt had central planning. We have as well have modern examples of it working, such as; (most notably) Yugoslavia, Burkina Faso, Guatemala under president Jacobo Arbenz, and Chile under president Allende.

https://ajph.aphapublications.org/doi/pdf/10.2105/AJPH.76.6.661 This study shows that given equal levels of economic development, socialist countries provide a standard of living that is on par or even superior to that of capitalist countries.

Funny enough, I have two meditation retreats planned in 2025. One in November and the second in December, making that three retreats in 2025 alone. The retreat I have in December is the Satipatthana Retreat, and its more intense and longer than the other retreats. So much, that the requirements for any student to be admitted is they must have completed two Brahmavihara retreats. Below was in the email they sent me: “There is one direct path for the purification of beings, for the overcoming of sorrow and lamentation, for the disappearance of pain and distress, for the attainment of the right method, and for the realization of Nibbana. This is namely the practice of the four establishments of mindfulness.” (DN 22: Mahasatipatthana Sutta) Satipatthāna (four establishments of mindfulness), also known as Vipassanā or Insight Meditation, is the practice of establishing right mindfulness on the four aspects of body, feeling, mind, and dharma. Through this practice one understands the nature of arising and passing away, impermanence, dukkha, and non-self. Through this realization one can be liberated from distress and rebirths, and attain sainthood. These retreats, combined with a potential Actualized.org psychedelic retreat, I'm really in for a lot.
