https://edition.cnn.com/2025/08/23/business/sports-gambling-risk-young-men Has anyone noticed how rampant sports betting and crypto betting has become among gen z and gen alpha guys? ESPN and UFC has marketed this shit to their viewers so much. It used to be illegal to gamble like this and you definitely couldn’t advertise it. Now huge brands, large social media accounts are marketing draft kings and similar shit. This is absolutely disgusting. Not only can young guys not get laid in the USA anymore but every single brand and vice looking to scam them are like vultures, just waiting to catch them with fear based hooks and easy dopamine. There’s even a trend where guys who work minimum wage jobs will film themselves gambling their entire days earning on a blackjack hand. Discuss this problem and share any information on this new wave of gambling addiction.

@trenton First off I hear that you’re struggling and I’m sorry about all this. This is not easy and to have your family hurt you and have a conflict like this is not something that’s always easy to live with. I would invite you just to be open to the possibility that regardless of all the mean things your family has done and problems you’ve faced that you are valuable and enough exactly as you are. And that you are loved and appreciated just as you are, and that it doesn’t hinge on whether or not your family approves of you or treats you right. It’s just true that you are valuable and good enough as you are now in this moment. The truth is that even if we go through times where family don’t approve of us or we are not in a relationship or having people showing signs of love, mirroring back what we have already, it doesn’t change we are valuable. This also doesn’t change or diminish the challenges you’re facing. I would go easy on yourself and not doubt your greatness especially during a time like this.

I’m sorry if my message came off as demeaning. @Twentyfirst is not a donkey but a person who has his own beliefs and point of view. Yesterday was situationally a very unfamiliar and challenging day for me so I was not of the clearest mind and made a mistake. Simultaneously I do not wish to engage with his posts in this thread because I do believe his point of view is sort of half baked and not really worth discussing because there are some fundamental disagreements we won’t be able to get past to have any meaningful exchange.

The thing is I don’t have time or really the will to work with strange cartoony / mind bendy stuff. Not saying there isn’t any value in exploring that. Just where I am in life or what I wish to create doesn’t align with that now. I’m excited though to discover new substances that sort of match the rhythm I’m on. I heard mescaline is very gentle and a very grounded experience for self inquiry tripling. I hope to do some work with this in 2026.

🙏

You said a lot of things here. I won’t reply to every point but will say you are doing a great job. We often times build a world view around beliefs that weren’t even ours. We just took them on due to our childlike reasoning and lack of perspective. Now that you are older you are working on that. To answer your question, I would address why you feel lonely. Can you come from a place where you are responsible and have some perspective on why you create an emotional you label as loneliness? There are very likely a set of beliefs behind it worth exploring, usually around your worth and beliefs on how relationships complete your life. Now I’m not saying there’s anything wrong with feeling lonely nor are relationships unimportant or something worth putting time into. What I’m saying is look into your perception of yourself, beliefs about yourself in relation to why you choose to feel lonely. I don’t think it’s really worth putting energy into thinking about how others will perceive you with this. Just build that relationship with yourself more and more and take care of your self, really address why you choose to feel lonely, and much of your issues around this will resolve.

Could you be open to the possibility that maybe as you live life and as it is unfolding you become more and more alive, and then when the day comes that your body returns to the earth and story you lived comes to an end that you are the most alive you could ever be? I want to tell you now that death is not bad or a problem. It’s just a changing of seasons. In fact you were drawn to this community so I think you know deep down that you are being guided towards these truths which are bringing you more and more to life. I know endings can be hard. I feel sad about family that has passed, how one day my 75 year old dad will pass on, my story here will come to an end. It is a bit hard and frankly I want to say something I wish to create sadness over since my life has had its ups and downs but I genuinely believe I’ve lived a good life, I really hope to continue this and pass it to my future kid(s). But it of course will change and that’s ok, if you believe in spirituality, you too can become aware it’s just a changing of seasons how it’s autumn now and the leaves turn brown.

To be honest I relate to a lot written here and have even experienced this myself through my self inquiry and life events unfolding (except the alien stuff mentioned). I will say this, why choose to create fear? If you are not a human (this is sort of like a set of clothes), what’s so wrong with that? I just don’t see any point in creating fear. It’s understandable and I don’t think there’s anything wrong with it though. A military UAV (I’m in Russia) exploded by my building today. I chose fear so damn fast. I don’t think I’ve created so much fear in my life, maybe one other time on my ayahuasca trip. it was as if I felt worthless and like I’d have been better off if the bomb dropped on me, like I lacked value and was cut off form everything. After taking some time to breathe and going for a walk to calm down I noticed the pattern. This human side we have wants to rush to be small or little or blunt itself from what you guys are calling infinity, because in a mistaken way of reasoning it thinks it can keep itself safe in a childlike innocent way by making itself small. The truth is nothing can ever diminish us even if some challenge does indeed come along which hurts our body or affects our lives in a way that’s uncomfortable. We are born with innate value. You can become directly aware of it: it’s hard to put into words but it’s sort of like you become aware that you are beaming down from heaven where nothing can or will ever hurt you. There’s nothing to really fear about what you call infinity, I call the Tao, but from our human life there are things which do threaten us. So all we have to do is lovingly guide this side, let the infinity lead. This is where life becomes peaceful and acceptance comes in, and you can accept with grace even if it is no easy feat that you could have your life end due to a bomb dropping on you. I feel much better now, I’ll be fine beyond this life

I feel you on the shrooms part. It’s very loopy and childish the first half. I don’t like that. To be honest I find it a sort of waste of time and energy. I’ll feel exhausted after shrooms. The second half I connect to spirit and can get genuinely powerful insights that help me rediscover myself and put into action more honest living that benefits my life in a way I feel proud of. I just would like to find a substance I can gently enter this state from for a couple hours instead of dealing with all the problematic stuff associated with psychedelics.

There are a lot of anti Western edge lords here who sacrifice their integrity by trying to leverage whatever they can to make a point about how the USA is corrupt. It is. So is Russia, so is Zionist Israel. From a conscious perspective there aren’t really sides to take. It’s about big picture understanding and calling out lies. A lie is a lie, period.

You do realize Catholics, Jews and plenty of redneck maga abuse kids too? Epstein? This is the dumbest point ever. You need to work on your mind. No, both sides are not the same. The lion does not argue with donkeys. I bid you farewell from this thread.

I do think honest historic education is definitely needed. A lot of people genuinely don’t know the history of that region. I do not fuck with lies or liars. The USA is a country built off a lot of slave labor and land stolen from natives. This is not something most people in the USA would disagree with and the general gist and truth of the USA isn’t denied when it comes to this. Israel is different, it’s a completely fabricated country built by Eastern Europeans, just a total fabrication not even 100 years old, hence why they are all white and sound European and all have European last names they had to change. They had to rewrite history and twist so much shit that a person who values truth genuinely feels ill when reading about the games zionists had to play and lies they had to spin to justify Israel. Imagine you’re a native to a land, your bloodline has lived there for thousands of years dating back to the Roman empire, and then one day another group of people from an entirely different part of the world come over and start rewriting every bit of history, even recreate a “historic” language that wasn’t even spoken and say it was the original language there, say their holy book promised them the land (which their holy book doesn’t actually promise this land by the way, it was interpretations by Zionists of Jewish scripts that spin this narritive) it’s the most vile gaslighting. They really believe they are from the Middle East (they’re Eastern Europeans).

https://www.instagram.com/rollaselbak this entire profile is a goldmine when it comes to exposing the complete lie and fabrication that is Israel. Read academic level history books that site documents, books and articles written at the time of its inception. Do genuine academic level work. Most people simply are so lazy and have no interest in ever actually educating themselves in an academically honest way. They are so brain rotted they wish to just join a tribe that pushes buttons associated with whatever fear based belief system they have. Education is key in liberation and the liberation of Palestine.

I’ve read more juicy drama about the rsd guys scamming each other than I have genuinely interesting pulls resulting from pick up.

It’s kind of obnoxious though how every criticism of Russia is always countered by “what about the west.” This is such a stupid and intellectually dishonest take. I’m surprised more people aren’t banned from this section for this. We can discuss and condem western corruption and we can discuss and condem eastern corruption without having to be tribal and take sides like a bunch of moronic normie sheep who feed this belief system.

Most celebrities are conscious enough to know what an abomination Trump is, because to be a successful creative it requires self development The left doesn’t automatically hate everything Trump does. They hate everything Trump does because it’s garbage manifest. The left doesn’t automatically love everything the left does, the amount of in fighting and split in the party has greatly hindered its direction. it’s the braindead right that supports everything their dictator does, moving the goalpost like the Epstein files and abysmal economy, war in Ukraine continues , etc.

These new longe range missiles could maybe make Putin reconsider some of his objectives. He should have accepted Trump’s off ramp deal. We have been in this state of unknown since the beginning of this invasion and no one really knows how it’s going to end. I think at this point both sides see themselves fighting for a couple more years, then based on what they each have will agree to a deal. I don’t think these missiles will be some massive game change but they could maybe make Moscow take a peace deal more seriously. Really I doubt the line on the map will move much. It’s really a matter of getting Moscow to agree to a ceasefire with what they have and Ukraine getting security guarantees.

He’s entirely brain rotted and he kinda plays the both sides card because he’s a celebrity.

Annexing land is not right. Toppling states clearly isn’t right either. I don’t see any point in comparing. The USA is land annexed from native people by the way. How about instead of trying to determine who is worse we all try to do better instead?

It’s sort of superfluous though considering who makes the rules no? If you are the one able to make the rules, bomb Serbia (list goes on), claim this treaty / that treaty when you had all leverage in writing it or setting the rules up so they favor your survival, I don’t really think that counts. Rules only mean something if everyone is considered fairly when writing them. I think any comparison of the two trying to determine who is less honest or whatnot is ultimately going to fall apart because both sides are having a different conversation. I don’t think USA is any better or worse than Russia. It excels in different aspects of human rights while Russia does as well.

No, it was not some CIA operation. You have to move away from conspiracy level framing of these things if you actually want to have a deeper / truer understanding. Could you say there is perhaps some degree of political “lobbying” or influence due to osmosis, where Ukraine is situated between Russia and EU? Sure. Also, don’t forget they overthrew their democratically elected leader. Also don’t forget there was a large Russian minority in Ukraine that did face democratic suppression. Also don’t forget John McCain flew there to make a speech. Imagine if something happened like this in USA’s backyard? They would have started a war yesterday. Cuba is still facing sanctions decades after the Cold War.

The truth is both countries act selfish and play games. Neither is really worse than the other. Did you know all the wars in the Middle East are largely because of the British, Europeans and USA? Guess who lets Israel live? Iraq war? The list of lies and hypocrisy is astounding when it comes to geopolitics. There isn’t any nation that is part of the security council that can point fingers at the other. Simultaneously form a higher perspective when discussing issues like this it is lower conscious to compare. You got to address each issue separately in how states are barbaric. What Russia is doing is wrong and barbaric. What the USA has done is wrong and barbaric.

Dude you are going to grieve and be heartbroken if you actually love a woman and break up. It will be something you revisit again and again at different points in life. What you’re asking is kinda silly. It’s like you want all the reward but at no risk. If you really fall in love with a woman, loss goes hand in hand with that. Why else would you care then? If you don’t want any other responsibilities and want to solely focus on your LP and you believe how you’re going about it is the right way, then avoid relationships. If you value relationships and want to have one as well as your LP, then find some balance between them and don’t use the relationship as something to blame when your LP doesn’t go exactly how you want it to.

I’m hearing that the USA economy is now one giant bet on AI…

He’s used to doing his preachy stuff cause cameras are always on him and his childish followers put him on a pedestal which isn’t really an invitation for him to listen, just speak. It’s like that one person you know who has a bunch of little kids so they are always stuck in their parenting role and come off kinda condescending or controlling when you have to collaborate with them on something. He doesn’t seem like he has good social skills either, to be honest if he started preaching to me in a conversation I’d stop talking to him.
