PurpleTree

even if there is the potential for sex/dating i think men and women can totally be friends friends imo are people who you can count on, and sometimes you can count more on a women than on a man for example. some women are more honest than some men etc. it doesn't really have anything to do with gender

hug a PurpleTree jk i will find a tree to hug laters

that's some good stuff thanks Preety for taking the time here might also lie an issue, see i do think my intentions are mostly "good" but i also know the devilry inside of me (like it is in everybody else) i know that i have a huge fear of commitment, so if i might like the women maybe deep down i'm thinking she's be better off without me. sometimes good intentions can also lead to a "bad" outcome. i did have a good number of female friends over the course of my life but right now there's maybe only 3 or so female friends which i talk to on a regular basis, not a huge number, this covid is also killing my social life. yea if i could do it while being tipsy that would be alright imo (not great) but i have to generally get reeeally drunk to shut the mind down, which is a bit dangerous in itself. a lot of this people pleasing, limiting beliefs and anxiety crap probably comes from being "raised" as an only child by a single mother who wasn't always very mentally stable. so from very early on i felt responsible for the "bad" feelings from my mother. then started smoking weed daily from a very young age onwards in a way to self medicate which in some ways numbed the feelings but in some ways just worsened the issues over the long run. so those things are pretty deeply ingrained and hard to get rid off, entangled onion layers

well it seems like a step up, which is good because anxiety basically just blocks you to do anything. you also seem sensitive if you can sense that feeling in other people. it might also be projection though, maybe they're actually not feeling awkward?

That's some good advice. But if i bond like that with a woman, like hanging out without being sexual, the first time i met them. Then the friendzone feeling is very strong and then it makes me feel guilty to now try and be "sexual" or show some interest other than friendship, like now we're friends and i don't want to hurt her, take advantage of her and what would she think of me. Then it gets weird. You're right i should show steadily interest in her as a woman and not just a friend then but if i don't do that initially i almost can't do it afterwards and i have to be drunk to do it initially. I also do like to have females just as friends.

yea i guess it's an important discussion to have although i don't know if it's so useful to have this discussion with cops as they're kind of low in the food chain and just generally react to crime etc. let's say it's true that 8% of the population (black men) commit 50% of violent crime, ok then but what are the reasons for that? but that's not really the cops job to find out etc. they don't make policies, they probably don't choose how much training they get etc. it's politicians etc. like for example biden. but maybe after countless of such discussions the politicians and people in power will listen up, who knows

Wtf this just popped up in my feed, watching it now, ugh 2 hours 20 minutes. John Bolton is such a rascal of the warmongering type. Get him Yanis.

ok that makes sense but why israel?

i don't buy it why would they contact them and not let's say finland or mexico?

how is the "later more prevalent"? or do you mean just with humans? but even there i don't see it

Also i listened to this episode of Leo yesterday and thought it fits with this (there are also looots of roles i play)

^ maybe god wants you to enjoy life and this creation more, instead of feeling guilty and being miserable do you go into nature a lot and marvel about it? how could you call that hell? it's basically heaven, nature that is even if this species is going extinct you couldn't change it

I've for example had that experience before being told about it by Leo and i suppose many others did too. But personally didn't take this extremely serious (as serious as Leo for example) well in one way i did and in one way i didn't, it's hard to integrate such a thing especially with just one two experiences of such a thing. Is your life really that comfortable though if you think the world is basically hell? We all have our issues. People in the west have much more material wealth etc. But also a lot of us come from broken homes with broken parents and have mental issues etc. Sometimes people in poorer countries have better family structures and so on, sometimes also not of course though.

Had that experience le's say twice really, although the experiences were very different, one was more about the universe and one about god long before i knew of this forum, not sure if i totally believe those experiences. But i am definitely leaning in that direction.

I don't think it was really manipulative. Do you think everything/everybody is god or not? Or do you think everything which seems conscious is god or do you think there is no god, just a question about your views. Or do you think you are god and this child is just a "poor innocent, african child" which seems in a way condescending. Also if this place is so bad, why not just stay away, instead of coming here and dishing out insults? I get it you're hurt and i'm sorry for that. But how should a fruitful argument come out of insults? It just makes me want to insult you back

i'll just say you should stop insulting people here an leave it at that

you don't think that innocent child is also god?

we are also the universe so if we care the universe does care in some way

world trade center 7? if so that's apparently correct

He also campaigned a lot on this "bring the troops home" sentiment. Do you think it's a good or bad thing? Personally i think it's good, the world police status of the US can't be maintained. 800 US bases around the world seems a bit excessive

The CEOs ask him questions, they talk about the future etc. I think it's a pretty interesting talk. Elon Musk is building a Tesla Giga Factory near Berlin.

nope why do you think so? also i really don't care if he was

nope, sam harris and the weinstein brothers have jewish heritage in this "intellectual dark web"avengers group

my superpower is being able to eat a lot of cheese in one sitting i can also drink a lot

Also one thing i don't really understand with Hitler is why did send his troops to Russia (in winter at that) and declare war to the US. This was basically suicide for Germany. If Germany at that time had a leader which was (just a little bit) more sensible they would probably be a lot bigger in terms of landmass and also more powerful and influential now.
