  1. Yea that’s source there
  2. Good quality coke is like snorting air, but the reality is far from that. Unless you are super rich and can afford it, most college kids or young 20 something’s get bad quality, super cut up coke. And some of the things they use to cut the coke, well…..can kill you. Unless I’m some sort of millionaire where I can afford the best quality coke from the best source, I’m never using it. In an alternate universe, I wouldn’t mind selling it tho, as it’s a major money making gig (if you don’t get caught ?).
  3. I think overall, the invasion and imperialistic endeavors of Putin is backwards and horrible, but from a non-biased sense, the sentiment makes sense from a geopolitical and cultural perspective. From a geopolitical perspective, Putin has access to warmer ports by the Sea of Azov in crimea, allowing for better trade options. But most importantly from a cultural perspective, it’s about a reunification of cultures. Prior to the dissolution of the Soviet Union, there was never a separate Ukraine or a separate Russia, and there was never a distinction between Ukrainian and Russian people. They were always the same people and the same culture with small difference in language. It’s one thing if Russia wants to acquire a sovereign nation like Azerbaijan, whom are nothing like the Russians genetically or culturally. But with the sentiment of acquiring Russia, it’s more a kin to reintegrating a lost central piece of their culture, their nation, and their former great empire. When the Vikings started Kievan Rus, the capital and heart of the culture of the empire was Kiev. Kiev was the first major and central Russian city. And the key population at the time were known as the Rus people. This is the root term for “Russian” today. So the original Russians, the Rus people, consisted of Russians and Ukrainians. The Ukrainians are as much Russian as the Russians are them selves. Now obviously in a modern context that gives no justification of for aggressive offensive move into Ukraine. That gives no justification to kill and rape innocent Ukrainians. However I do think the constant demonization of Russia was a part of the problem. When you constantly demonize a bear, it’s more than likely going to be provoked and attack. However if you respect a bears space, it’s “terms” things are much likely to go smoother. All the west has to do is respect Russia’s terms and conditions, and give Russia the full confidence. This will make the Russia-west relations all that better. In an ideal world, Russia should not aggressively go into Ukraine, but rather make a deal. This also means Zelenskyy has to be more adjusting. Allow russia to acquire some territories in the parts of Ukraine they desire, but also allow Ukraine to be its own nation and a nato ally and member. I also don’t know how possible this would be, but creating a Slavic Union of nations, such Russia, Ukraine, Belarus, etc. would be a healthy way for all these countries of maintaining a stable relationship not only with the us and west, but Russia as well. In turn, Russia should give up some of its Asian territories such as Chechnya, Dagestan and the like of which as those territories were acquired through colonial conquest and never an important role to the Russian identity. Russia also needs to pay reparations to these hypothetical new nations for the genocide and brutality they faced from the Russians (read about the circassian genocide): https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Circassian_genocide I know this was pretty long, but I feel like all the points above are, in my view, a way to stabilize everything going on in Eastern Europe and Russia. I see the best way out as a win win situation.
  4. @Leo Gura Real question, from your knowledge of Truth, do you feel comfortable being certain that there is other intelligent life out there?
  5. I’m just saying not to rattle the wrong cage. I guess in simple terms, I don’t think we want to make Russia, or Putin for that matter, the enemy in a swipe…remember that Russia is in the west’s backyard. Rattling that cage can be dangerous to Europe and the west.
  6. As a result of a project for a client, I’m gonna have to move to Birmingham Alabama for some time. I am from New Jersey, a brown guy, and I know the history of Alabama and how it’s the old south, so that does make me somewhat uncomfortable. The only reason I’m moving there is because the opportunity for this client is really good, which is innovations and solutions for a major bank, and this will take my career to another level. However I am worried, as I am stage green/orange, if I will be able to survive in an environment like Alabama, which is more stage red/blue. For those of you living in the southern United States and may have experience with this region, is there anything I should know and be prepared for before moving down there?
  7. funniest and cringiest thing I’ve seen. Actually thought this shit was fake
  8. If you are a regular smoker, used to getting high, it will Be a better than usual high experience. If you’ve never smoked or smoke very rarely, use caution, dabs can make you higher than a plane.
  9. you were zooted my friend.
  10. Yea, I meant mostly the fringes of pickup. Nothing wrong with socialization with strangers in a healthy, non creepy way.
  11. My girl recently got a dental filling, and she still has numbness from the local anesthesia, which is supposed to last an hour or so. Can I still kiss her? Or do I have to wait a few days?
  12. I just popped the biggest boner ever after thinking about my girl in nursing scrubs. Need to get rid of this boner now, as it is not the right and proper environment. Any tips to hide it? Need some serious responses here.
  13. Ty guys, I will try some of these techniques!
  14. I have a blood test in the morning, and this requires fasting. Am I still allowed to hit my vape during this, or is that not allowed?
  15. Taxi Driver starring Robert De Niro
  16. Gin and Tonic with a slice of lime
  17. You are asking the user wayyy too much personal info, can I trust you?
  18. We very rarely see the other side in these events. When we do, we realize that the “bad” guys are as much trying to be good as the “good” guys.
  19. I started working as a developer in a consulting company, and I realized that things work a little than a product company. As this is my first job, would I get the best experience in my career initially as a consultant, or as a software developer in a product company, being directly involved with developing the actual product?
  20. Just spent an ENTIRE majority of the day cooped up alone watching tv and doing other low conscious, introverted things. Came out to get some food and realized just how weird my interactions are. Can cabin fever affect one’s social skills this badly? Like I avoid eye contact with people for some reason, where as during active days I look them straight in the eye. This is weird. Human psychology is weird .
  21. Yea, I’m a lot more confident and social when I mediate and dabble in philosophy. Need something to be cocky about.
