Internet usage is more of a problem than porn

Did your sleep improve & have you noticed an increase in energy or libido? Ray Peat might be the antichrist of average health advice

Men and young men especially need to understand that not only is fulfillment not found on the internet, but also qualities they are looking to develop like resourcefulness, discipline, and social skills. If you are unhappy and want to change, you won't find that change on the Internet either. I bought this extension untrap for desktop and iPhone, you can hide your YouTube recommendations on your phone which most extensions don't support, you have to use the browser version of YouTube, It's almost just as fast. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/untrap-for-youtube/id1637438059

Don't make dating so complicated, if you're not severely depressed and exhausted you are always ''ready for a relationship'' as stupid as that notion is. It's Intuitive, you shouldn't contemplate it. Next thread: "When are men ready to become happy and fulfilled?"

looks kinda cold

Great video

Serious reply: Influence from US culture through the internet, dropping testosterone rates, toxic chemicals and shitty diets, maybe abuse and drugs = Lack of basic achievements, class clown behavior, cognitive conditions, anti-social behavior = hopelessness, depression, anger + gun = mass shooting Speaking as a potential mass shooter in my high school years, I can very vividly recall the peak of my depression and anger back then, lucky I didn’t have any guns. Europe is better of than most countries because if you’re resourceful enough to obtain a gun in Europe you’re most likely not so depressed and angry to do something about it, if you look are school shooters anywhere in the world especially America you will notice that these teens are complete losers, lazy and unarchiving. Lacking in any basic qualities they can be proud of and that build up their self-worth. You might think that dropping testosterone rates will result in fewer people shooting up schools and malls but It's actually the opposite (counter-intuitive). And by calling them losers and underachieving, I don't mean it in a derogatory or in any disrespectful way, I mean it literally, from a place of understanding and study and not dumb generalization and guessing. This is 80% of the puzzle if you wish to understand school shooters. Joke:

Reading a book puts me to sleep in 10-15 minutes, I don't know of any reasons why fasting would improve your insomnia because It seems to me that Insomnia is very rarely a dietary issue. It's more likely that insomnia will cause diet issues because lack of sleep causes skinny people to lose appetite and fat people an increase in appetite generally, It's not actually tied to being fat or skinny It's just that your body seems to be biased towards one or the other (skinny or fat). I don't have insomnia but I had and still have massive sleep problems. Been struggling with it for 5+ years. If you're skinny eat lots of high fat mostly vegetarian foods, if you're fat eat a basic diet of one meal a day like 200g very lean chicken, 30g chia seeds, 200g broccoli, 50g lentils, and 1 avocado, 2g ginger, 50g blueberries, avoid sugary foods including most fruits NOT including berries, don't ever dry juice or anything that has sugar in it, run 5-10km every day you're gonna lose weight. Unfortunately, diet, exercise, and fasting are not the first pillars of health, more like the 2nd 3rd, and 4th behind sleep which is number 1.

If only you can use wireless earbuds without people noticing because I strongly prefer my playlists over whatever the club has going on, sometimes you just wanna let go and put yourself in a positive/naturally intoxicated mood, leave the girl chasing shit for later. however my experience is that people won’t talk / approach you if you have headphones on/in no matter where you are. Loop earbuds is pretty popular here in Europe, I found 10s while sleeping in hostels.

I'll be surprised when the compounding effect actually starts

The blog does indeed suck, It would've been better if he was writing in notepad, at least notepad has a search function.

I don't know then, I avoid these theoretical discussions like the plague, since it never leads anywhere. Leo can say he knows exactly why this is impossible and still be dead wrong, and you can make any argument for and against it and still be either 100% wrong or 100% right and never know. If the doctor said he observed the alien heal his skin, flesh and bones within 24 hours then the mf can heal, case closed. Why would you believe that the doctor witnessed an alive alien in front of him, but reject some small part of his story about alien healing if he said he saw it happen? That story is crazy in Its entirety, and we're only going to disagree about the healing?

What he probably means is that he has a better understanding of humans than aliens on this subject, otherwise why would he state his opinion so strongly on something he knows he has less understanding of than Aliens? I don't know why would aliens say something like that, as if diet, exercise and proper sleep are not the best ways to 'repair our bodies'. Very vague, could've just told him how to do it Mr. Alien instead of blabbering about some shit he knows we won't be able to understand.

I have seen multiple comments against starch specifically lentils, beans, and oats. This interests me because legumes and grains are actually higher in vitamins and especially in minerals per gram compared to vegetables. In general, vegetables are lower in micronutrients compared to most other foods including meats. And of course, the reasons for eating more or less of something should be backed up by science. Eating more vegetables is associated with better health at least in general medicine, but the same can be said about legumes and oats. I feel like this whole thing is about high-calorie foods being bad in general, lentils are high-calorie IMO. I don't like the idea of eating less than 2500 calories a day though, some of us have very fast metabolisms, which means if we ate only vegetables we would look like children. You can poke fun at that idea all you want but you are ignorant of the fact that people Gen Z and forward have the opposite problem their parents had, we don't have balanced hormones, especially male ones. Testosterone isn't just a muscle-building hormone, It's also an essential hormone to be and remain a happy male in many other areas. Consuming 2100-3000 calories a day is necessary for most men. Written with open-mindedness.

Sounds like a paradise for entrepreneurs IMO Shenzhen reminds me of Cyberpunk, neurotic high-functioning people like myself are very attracted to these huge cities, there's always something going on, and you can see so much obvious dysfunction and problems right out of your room window, all there for you to solve. I would definitely live there If I spoke Mandarin.

Nice I'm really hoping to see some breakthroughs in material science that cause more innovation in this field. P.s Those last few seconds were a lousy attempt at Boston dynamics The Dynamic Duo

What does this shit even mean? I'd like to put you in an Amazon jungle with tigers and alligators and see how much your theorizing helps you.

I've been pondering over this question for a few days now, It's clear to me that I should be very effective at pursuing and achieving goals otherwise they won't happen at all. If I was in sales or trades I'd say a few days is enough to make a profit although I'd say 6 months is probably more than enough time to do so in regular business. Not that I'm desperate for a few bucks, It's just that businesses that make money usually make money pretty fast because there's a market for it. If you've been running a business for a year and haven't made a single dime, obviously something's wrong, either you're not trying hard enough or the business is just never going to work. I'm challenging someone to say that you can make a profit within the first month or week of starting.

It's expensive mostly because It's imported from the United States

Since I created this thread I discovered that business is mostly about lead generation, It is the number #1 problem for most (millions) of businesses and the reason most of them are not profitable. So this is the measure you use when looking for a product market fit or looking for customers. A lead is someone who signals their interest to you. And so businesses that can generate immediate leads are businesses that are profitable the fastest.

I’ve tried natural alternatives like Black African soap, natural shampoos and kaolin clay but there’s no hope. Not only did they not work, some of them managed to give me headaches like African black soap did. I have extremely dry skin and eyes, this dryness always effects my eyes and makes me feel like I didn’t sleep at all. I am looking for the most natural of natural shampoo alternatives. P.s my skin is also prone to acne, specifically my chest, face and especially the upper back, my hands and fingers are always missing pieces of skin. This dryness goes away after a day or two of not showering, but in those two days I am barely functioning. Not shampooing doesn’t work for me, my hair is itchy and greasy if I don’t. This problem goes way beyond just smelling nice or looking clean. So I’m not some beauty queen trying to find the best shampoo to look my best. I am dying. Edit: Shaving cream has the same effect.

Depends on the context, there is a lot of people who come to the United States that genuinely have a passion for the country, others don’t and they come only for economic reasons, a lot of the times these people aren’t willing to bend their value systems just because they don’t mix very nicely with the majority. The US is much more lenient on Europe and Canada then the rest of the world, going as far as creating special visas for them. Because their value systems are more or less the same with some differences. And don’t kid yourself, this discussion is definitely about values and beliefs, otherwise you can look at each American and track back their origins to another country, unless you still dance around a tiki statue and worship the sun. Then you’re 100% American, you have the right to complain about almost everybody walking around on your territory.

As a person who works night shift I’m gonna tell you it’s not worth it, it’s much more worthwhile to wake up extremely early.
