that makes sense i also don't know too much about him, have seen a few clips with him seems a bit grifter-ish but i'd like to hear his own views about the particular subject

it might not necessarily be important for strict survival like food and shelter but it's still quite important if you want to have loving relationships, a stable job, maybe a promotion etc., right?

that makes sense

that's why i jumped into the discussion in the first place, i was triggered by him calling everybody names and reacted i have no problem with his opening post, i also don't have a problem with him asking leo about the n word. that's ok if he was shocked when he heard it and wanted to hear leo's thoughts.

the guy is just attacking, guilt tripping, shaming etc. people thinking he's always right because he's the "victim" don't fall for it, it's bs also i'll admit my devilries but not to a narcissistic bs'er at least have decency i do understand that it's coming from pain, so i don't hate him or anything, it's fine but i'll not accept it and not talk back

that's ridiculous. how is he nuanced when he attacked like 60% of the forum you included. and he's "protected" by bajapuskas because he likes it when people talk more about "racism"

^^ @bejapuskas can you give the guy warning points for calling me a white supremacist like 20 times? thanks pal

yea but it's ingrained in a way, it's nature it's a scarcity thing

two things does the entire world for example treat Russian, Ukrainian etc. street kids in their respective countries "as if they were under special protection" ? does the entire world care about white drug addicts or whatever? hugely ignorant statement imo and shouldn't be mod worthy also the op imo didn't come to learn and have a discussion or whatever he mostly came to attack, lash out and blame imo but it's fine, it's whatever agree to disagree, i'll move on and stop discussing this "issue" on this forum

yup you come in swinging at everybody i'll likely swing back you can't go into a topic/forum disrespect most people, call them names and whatever and then go to the mods and complain "racism" this was a good post by whatever addressing the guitar guy in another topic imo "I tend to not agree on a lot with people on this forum but think here you are on your way becoming what you are fighting against. "You wouldnt know unless you are one" kills any dialogue between you and others and dismissess any attempts to understand eachother. It also assumes moral high ground simply because you found a opressed minority to belong to. This could be any ethnicity, feminism, disability etc. This is the turn culture has taken, being victim has become a power position. Jesus sayd that "he who is without sin shall cast the first stone", nobody threw stones that day on a victim in center of a lynch mob. Now rocks are thrown to all direction from the center and by stating perfect victimhood, you also conviniently free yourself from any responsibility. Your a victim, what can you do, right? This is quite counterproductive for any real cause you might have. Creating safe places from differrnt ideas, trigger warnings etc. Treats traumatised people like they are special protection areas that needs to be isolated from the scary world. But this doesnt prepare them to scary world. Their trust in their ability to to co operate with scary challenging world needs to be restored instead. Thats what I think anyway."

i got points too. but i don't necessarily agree with it. when asked bejapuskas to elaborate he told me i said for example making threads about racism is racist, which i didn't say. it's fine though whatever

I'd just fancy a nurse who plugs me the goodies in Jaimaca but it's fine, no hard feelings

what about just omicron version vs vaccine, probably hard to get good data on that

@Leo Gura would you ever make your own retreats for people to visit? I know you don't want to deal with the cult stuff and whatever And if people already threaten suicide on the forum, what would happen in a retreat? but..... i think generally much more could be learned in the real thing than over the internet. it could be cool have Satsang and hire some cool nurses who plug the good stuff you know I know that the guy from the "here we are" podcast for example organised mushroom retreats in Jamaica

I don't forget people in 5 minutes generally so maybe it's because i tend to overthink, situations, people, social situations etc. because i grew up as an only child or whatever and always had time to think. So i imagine others doing the same in a way. yea thanks yea i hope soon-ish i can go out more again yea i certainly "overthink" many things that would be good that's true. is there any book/video etc. which helped with that "realisation" ?

he dishes out on cancel culture etc. That was pretty funny, liked his jokes about Apu, privilege, Trump, covid etc. also some creepy stuff in there though comic with Indian heritage @Preety_India

@CuriousityIsKey how did you come up with your name?

nobody knows

it certainly is a way to test boundaries and push people but i think it's also healing for a society especially a mixed society with a turbulent history like the u.s. imo people like eddie murphy, chris tucker, dave chappelle, bill burr etc etc. did a loooot for race relations and understanding even though trump came after that but doesn't matter i'm trying to make a point here so i think it's great that there are now also indian etc. comics who can talk about their experience, as long as they're funny also looved sarah silverman back when she was "edgy" for example, i understood what she was doing and that it was an act but she became kind of lame with trump, seems like she lost a lot of her humour

the last part of weinstein etc. i mean i got the point that he was trying to make but that part wasn't funny enough the funniest joke imo was "i don't think you should yell at people for not being vaccinated" *some in the audience cheer* "here they are get 'em" *non-vaccinated audience scared*

but seeking professional help to get some stability and get grounded for a while isn't a horrible advice if you had an attempted suicide or not?

so what's his "responsibility"?

i might try it if i'll remember it when i'm in a club
