Something Funny

@Swarnim your point makes sense, but I am not sure if it is true. I am not giving up on myself, just trying to find a solution that works for me. What if the root cause of a problem is me being alone all the time. Getting a dog would address it then. But I don't think that I am going to be doing the bare minimum. I think I might finally start enjoying life. This approach of thinking that I should first prepare myself perfectly before I decide to do something has never worked for me. I would always end up just procrastinating away. On the other hand, jumping right into the thing that I want to do and dealing with challenges as they come has worked well several times in my life.

@Spiritual Warrior i did, it's been coming and going for six months now.

I am not risky for the dog. I would definitely take a good care of it. I know that you didn't mean it but it actually feels kind of insulting, tbh. If I thought that any of that would work, I would be doing that instead. I already have a coach / therapist, I don't feel like those two things are mutually exclusive. Also, I am going to wait until our next session, before I make any decisions, because I want to talk with her about it.

Well, that's the point. I don't think I can take care of myself probably because it's just me. If I had somebody else to keep me company it would be totally different.

Hi @Leo Gura, I see you posting documentaries and stories about aliens on your blog and forum from time to time. Like the last one: https://actualized.org/insights/varginha-ufo-alien-communication I was wondering if there is a megathread for it, with links to blog posts, documentaries, etc?

@OBEler @Leo Gura I see, thanks.

Just use shower / bidet?

I actually did that once, and the knife touched the coils. But it just shorted, and the whole house went out of power. Nothing happened to me. I guess I got lucky, lol

I liked this game as a kid

His status is build on him being to cool to care. He literally told twitter advertisers to fuck off. This should tell you enough.

Why? He can lose another 45 billion and still have enough money to last him for 100 lifetimes. He clearly doesn't care, he is just fooling around. Even if Twitter will be gone, this will have no effect on him personally.

@Lila9 maybe, and hopefully that's true. But how can we trust them and know if what they are saying is true? You've said it yourself that Israel's government is not perfect. What's stopping them from saying "there were terrorists there" every time they fuck up? Like in the case with the ambulance, Israel says there were terrorists in it, people on the ground say that they were just civilians. How do we know who is saying the truth? How would Israel even identify whether there are terrorists or not in the ambulance?

@Lila9 lets say I agree with your premise. Israel is in a tough spot, surrounded by enemies, and has a right to defend itself. The question is, how legitimate are the methods that they are using. Mass bombing specifically. Please see below articles: https://www.rfi.fr/en/international/20231103-french-institute-in-gaza-hit-by-israeli-strike-paris-demands-answers https://www.cnn.com/2023/11/03/middleeast/casualties-gazas-shifa-hospital-idf/index.html When people read those types of articles, it makes them question whether Israel actually does any kind of research and tries to target places where terrorists are or if they are just shelling everything randomly as an act of terror. As article about the French institute mentions, its location is a public knowledge precisely to prevent a bomb from being randomly bombed onto it. So how did it happen? Does Israel really check where they are firing before doing it? And it's not like those are very rare cases, those "mistakes" happen regularly from what I understand. So it makes you wonder if those are really mistakes or if it is just Israel's strategy to level Gaza with the ground.

That's what I want to do, but one of my fears os that I want be able to come up with unique, creative, beautiful designs.

Or shoes. I would like to talk to someone to get a broad overview of the whole process, to get some direction.

@Sempiternity wow, that's really cool. What I struggle with is understanding the whole learning path. Like what skills do I need to have and how to learn them. - Do I need to learn how to draw? - Do I need to learn sketchting clothes on paper, or is there a digital spftware where it is done right now? - Do I need to learn 3d modeling in programs like Blender? - Do I need to learn how to sew / knit / chrochet by hand? - What about embroidery? - What about all sorts of fabrics, textiles, and dyes? Where do I learn about them (which are the best for what, how they are made, how they are produced, etc, etc). - What if I want to make shoes, how tf do I learn that? I have beem looking for some courses online but most of them are very unholistic and focus on some one little things, like "how to sew your own set of pants".

Isn't it crazy? There are like 100 active members here and yet we don't seem to be able to have a civilized, respectful discussion here. Is this just human nature? If so, then how can we expect conflicts to stop happening in the real world when we can't even prevent a conflict from happening on an online forum where stakes are much lower. I have been personally guilty of this myself. I would get emotional and start arguing with person I disagree with. Not trying to learn or come to an agreement but trying to prove my point. I am also being disrespectful and overly agressive from time to time. Sometimes I dramatise things too much. Etc, etc. But is it really such a high standard to hold to be respectful of a person you are talking to even if they opinion is different, or even if you thing that they are clearly wrong, or said something dumb? Wouldn't it be cool if everyone here behaved in a mature and respectful way, trying to learn from each other and help each other to grow and get closer to truth? This sounds really inspiring to me to be honest.

I am sorry for being rude to you and making assumptions. I was wrong. Do you mind explaining the way you actually see things?

@Breakingthewall but according to @hundreth there are actual videos of that. It kind of makes sense that super gory videos aren't just available to everyone on youtube. Maybe if you did some mkre research you could find them? @hundreth if you could point out how people can find proof of what the below refers to, that would be helpful in my opinion.

that's beside the point though, no? I've actually went to the combat footage subreddit, typed hamas in the search bar, turned off the safe search, went to the very bottom of the posts, and then used browser search tool with words: torture, woman, women, prisoner, hostage. And I couldn't find a single torture video. I am not sure if they are getting deleted, but they are clearly harder to find than you make them out to be. So "living under the rock" description is not very fitting in my opinion.

How come nobody here saw them, then? Even on reddit, I've only seen the one with the girl in the truck (although you can call reddit a weird website, imo). I am not disputing Hamas's brutality, just saying that Israel and Western media could do a better job at showing it.

I wouldn't call not visiting weird websites to watch gore videos - living under a rock...

Yeah, thank God, because people might equate a terrorist organisation, which can only ever hope to do sneaky hit and run attacks and does not represent its people with one of the strongest military powers of its time capable of conquering the whole continent.

@Nivsch You guys should just admit that you are selfish hypocrites who would rather murder thousands of civilians than bother finding a compromise.
