  1. sure i know nuclear deterrence etc. but still it seems one might be loonie enough to just do it in the course of more than 70 yrs like an older guy and say who cares i'm not going to live that long anyway like one of the kims etc.
  2. as a kid i was actually really scared of getting nuked, also of nuclear power plants exploding and everybody i know dying., maybe also a slow painful death it was because i grew up in a very leftist neighbourhood where the adults talked about such stuff often and infected me with their anxiety of the nuclear death. now i'm not really scared of that at least, hope it won't happen though
  3. nice Have you also tried the "letting go method" of David Hawkins?
  4. would you blame me if it happens in the next few weeks?
  5. have you ever thought about some kind of depression meds etc.? for some people they're good for some they aren't seems like you're self medicating i don't know if you can force enlightenment like that
  6. yea finding DMSA isn't that easy. as of yet, but i hope we'll all find it
  7. °* just writing some stuff down to remember °* So today my confidence was off an on, was also really tired So i tried some of those "mantras" or sentences for confidence or to evoke positive feelings within me This moment is God: I've tried that sentence often recently, it helps me settle into the moment. It's similar to Echkhart Tolles "there is only the Now" etc. There's nothing to run from: With anxiety and social anxiety it often seems as if i'm in a hurry. Running from something. But there's nothing to run from or nor towards. I love all: With this sentence I've tried to feel that instead of the world and others being antagonistic, that we're all in this together, all is one. Then at some point i've also tried to feel the presence of my grandma, like evoke her spirit within me, which also made me confident for a while. Because my grandma was cool and artsy, a feminist and pretty. But she died when i was around 9. All those things helped a little bit but nothing stabilised my confidence for good, it was still shakey. And anxiety was on and off
  8. i don't really have a problem with jre's covid stance but that General guest that he had on a few days ago? horrible guest
  9. https://www.criticalmuslim.io/the-dark-side-of-the-arabian-nights/ there was racism before westerners can't blame everything on them, it's lazy
  10. you open the door for women you don't take advantage of women who're completely wasted and don't know what they're doing *tadaaaa gentleman*
  11. I guess. But if you're feeling alone and overwhelmed doing all this, maybe it would be good to talk to a therapist too. Sometimes it's good to get an outside perspective. Maybe there is also some kind of group therapy for your "issue"
  12. ok that's small then in such a small country what did "Bild" do?
  13. Personally i'm torn on this in one way yes it could be a good thing, more autonomy, sovereignty etc. in another way for example France is involved in many conflicts. I wouldn't want an EU army to go around the world and play world police, meddling in different conflicts. Also Macron imo has a few good ideas and some horrible ideas.
  14. really? my mother was really paranoid during cold war era 70, early 80s that ww3 would break out
  15. exactly it wasn't your fault. the video title is a bit click baity imo. still nice video
  16. is this a big and important or small and insignificant newspaper in denmark?
  17. either every country needs nukes so it's too much of a cost to attack another country to have a real honest world peace, with countries actually reducing and scaling back their military capabilities, spionage, coercion etc. seems impossible maybe after an another devastating world war. there is just too much posturing, ego, greed and fear going on
  18. no country which is involved in a conflict can join NATO so it's impossible also do you think a country like Germany, Poland, Greece and so on would attack Russia for Ukraine and risk nuclear destruction ?
  19. yea but the most important cities in russia st. petersburg and moscow are on the western side of russia
  20. also didn't say they're surrounded just that they "feel" surrounded also as i said with the fear of countries like Georgia, Armenia joining would you prefer the word encroached or pushed back than surrounded?
  21. do you think i don't know the maps? smh thanks for the arrows though
