Climate change movements don't need attention, everyone knows about climate change. What we need is more people on board with it. Stuff like this just makes people not want to associate with movements like that because humans are hard-wired to avoid crazy/unpredictable humans who act out. Yea, but pulling shit like this is going to make those people even less likely to change their mind because now they can point and say "look how crazy the people in your movement are! we are right for not supporting it!" People want to support movements that are strong, marketed well, and make them feel like they are a part of something important. They are hard-wired to avoid crazy. What they did gives off very "I didn't get my way so now I'm acting out" vibes which the exact people they are trying to inspire change in (mostly older conservatives) absolutely hate. Obviously this isn't ideal, but it's how it is and most likely always will be. So any movement for change has to be more skilful in producing change than just childish outbursts like this. It's about marketing. Stuff like this influences humans in very subtle ways. It isn't really conscious. Just like how coke don't want their ads showing on controversial YouTube content. Consciously that seems dumb but sub-consciously your mind makes associations that hurt the organisation.

The thing is for many guys he does provide counterbalance. Most people need to go through a stage of selfishness and taking as much as they can get before they can transcend past that and move into the realm of responsibility and maturity. The one argument in favour of him I support is that if you are a weak, shy, quiet, meek guy, most of what he teaches you will drag you in the other direction, which is healthy character development. In SD terms he helps guys with seriously under-developed Red (which is common nowadays) develop it. But beyond that most of the stuff he is teaching is really pretty immature and grifty. And he clearly has some Betty very toxic viewpoints as well

I’m happy for you Again it’s just the wording that irked me. “Depression isn’t real because it went away” Like I’m not even sure what you mean. Obviously depression is real. If you had it for ages it’s real in some sense. Just because something helped it doesn’t mean it suddenly isn’t real and doesn’t exist. That’s very bizarre logic

It was more the strong vs weak man comparison I was talking about rather than masculinity. Telling women that they don’t need to be scared of strong men and they do need to be scared of weak men is just a bit vague and useless because you’re not really clear about what you mean by strong and weak. But you worded it like it was just plainly obvious information. “I don’t know how many times this needs to be said” and that was what irked me a bit

That’s a lot like saying the sun isn’t real because it vanished at night

Yea because strong masculine men never do anything threatening towards women. /s

Which of course, you are

It actually does the opposite. It makes people hate your group and world view more, even if you are supporting valid causes.

It’s also a crime. Several crimes, actually. And very irresponsible.

The method I used was to cut the cactus up like a cucumber into slices, then blend all the slices into a paste. Then you boil it for like 6hrs to make a tea. It tastes awful but it does the trick You should Google for how to make San Pedro tea for the full process. you’ll need a cactus about the size of your forearm for a decent trip

Honestly you might be better off owning it and just shaving your head Its not like baldness is unattractive if you pull it off Balding and not owning it is probably worse Anyway, ask Leo, he’s probably more of an authority on it hahaha

Oh dear

I imagine that one of the bigger risks is that you often don't know what else you are taking alongside the intended drug. If you do a lot of comprehensive testing (for wanted compound, and to make sure none of the more common harmful similar compounds are present) that would help a lot. I can't really see how pure LSD or Psilocybin for example would hurt the body, but no one really knows and the body is a complex thing so you can't really take anyone's word for it. I mean, we thought smoking was safe and even healthy for hundreds of years.

I think that green flags aren’t really a universal thing. At least not like red flags. Green flags will be quite unique to you so it’s hard for others to point them out It’s most important to focus on absence of red flags rather than presence of green flags, IMO. A well rounded person might not have any specific ‘green flags’ but they’re already beyond a lot of others just by having so few negative red-flag traits

Cos it’s the time of year when everyone is going to uni And I responded to your (OPs) other thread before I saw this. But the jist is that cold approach during the day at uni is silly. Start going out and going to uni parties. Build up a social life at uni.

Are you just doing this on the street around uni? Mate you’re going about uni life all wrong. Start going out at night and going to parties. That’s how you meet girls while you’re at uni Or maybe strike up chat with girls you happen to be around for your classes Doing spammy cold approach around uni is a bad idea because you’ll build up a reputation

Tried Leo’s technique from the squirting video recently and that shit works wonders just for pleasure, not even necessarily making a girl squirt Wouldn’t call it delicate or sweet although there’s an element of sweetness and intimacy in the build-up You wanna start with a soft and sweet dynamic with cuddles, kisses and massages. And then build up into a rougher dynamic with lots of polarity. Combining these together with progressive build-up is the key You’re aiming to lead your girl on a journey into her sexuality, let her know it’s OK for her to let out all her dirty thoughts and fantasies around you, let her know that you won’t judge, that you find her deepest dirtiest fantasies hot, and that you want to see that side of her come out for you

You believe this because you don’t talk to people If you don’t have a social circle, you need to be the one who makes the first move. I know it’s difficult, but you need to do it. Get some hobbies. Fill up your weeknights with hobbies and go out and have fun at weekends. If you can’t do it solo, find Meetup groups for people who wanna party but don’t have anyone to go with

The problem you are going to have is that the chance that the first girl you end up with is going to be a suitable partner for the rest of your life is extremely low Because the only way you can really find out if you’re suitable for spending your life together is to try. What if it fails? Now by your own standards both you and the girl are screwed And a lot of girls (in the west at least) will be very iffy about a guy who has zero or little experience as well If I was still with my first GF I’d be beyond miserable right now, but I’m still glad I had that experience, it taught me a lot about what I wanted and didn’t want. Same goes for the various relationships I’ve had since then

Minecraft servers, League of Legends, a ton of programming, not enough real world socialising lol

Expectations and standards are pretty synonymous. I don’t think this mechanic plays out in reality as much as you think it does. Most of the time people explore their sexuality when they are younger and then find someone who ticks most of their boxes and who they enjoy being around to settle down with I don’t think it’s especially common for guys or girls to pine over past relationships when they’re in a new one that they are truly happy with The idea of women always wishing they could’ve locked down some super attractive guy they had a fling with once is I think mostly an idea developed by guys who feel they themselves aren’t worthy or can’t compete with her past lovers Thats the only reason I can think of for a guy to be super picky about a girl being a virgin. A truly self-assured guy wouldn’t care If you are a high value guy none of this matters because you know deep down you are worthy and can satisfy your girl even if she’s had a fair few relationships and flings before you

I grew up in a pretty well off family as an only child and I feel like I have a lot of laziness baked into me as a result, which seriously hinders me However I knew plenty of people who were also in similar situation that I went to school with that took advantage of their privileged situation to get an exceptional start in life I don’t think I would wish to have had a worse or less privileged upbringing, I think I would have wished that I had not been an only child, and had parents who enforced stricter rules on me instead of being overly relaxed and giving me too much without effort on my part

He’s literally just straight orange? Is it really that hard? He’s like epitome of orange He’s like if you took a literal orange, blended it up with orange paint, then threw it into molten lava levels of orange

How so?

Mate I lost my last two years of uni to covid and my first two to a shitty relationship, my biggest regret is not getting more involved in uni social stuff while I could. Get yourself into a flat with some flat mates or join your uni accommodation. It forces you to meet people who do fun shit Ask the people you do know where they’re going out and ask if you can come along, I know it’s scary but you’ll be surprised how likely they are to say yes
