Something Funny

That's awesome )

Hi, how are you feeling?

@Schizophonia it's nice. The glasses were ruining it.

@Schizophonia imo, your profile pic is badly chosen...

What it has to do with that topic is that I swear, at this point I know what your and some other guys' posts are going to be about before even clicking on them. Isn't it interesting how you are pulled towards those specific kinds of articles and views on diet, those specific views on masculinity, dating, politics, personal development, sexuality, etc.? Do you really not see how those are all linked? But of course you are not biased at all... What a shameless gaslighting, lol.

@blankisomeone read One Piece

@Michael569 but who cares about that? Reading actual studies doesn't matter, what matters is that you can't be a Top G / Alpha Male / Andrew Tate's Acolyte while being vegan. Once that agenda is set, you simply need to nitpick whatever facts fit the best to prove that drinking 10 raw eggs for breakfast is the superior diet option.

@ElenaO <3

@ElenaO I am so sorry. Please, don't think that this is your fault or that you have failed your husband. First of all, this isn't true because there are things in life that we can't control that much and people should accept that. Secondly, your worth is not defined by your ability to give birth. You are a person, not a baby factory. Also, your husband should be already really grateful for you giving him a son and spending so much time and effort looking after him.

@Lila9 dating in the 19th century be like: Sorry, couldn't hold myself back

@Hardkill @Lila9 it's not like Cleopatra did cold approach though... I think women still behave in the same way as they did, they just do it in their own way. Which is more subtle than being explicitly sexual or making a first move (unless they are a stripper or pornstar, etc., as in the example above). I don't see why would anything change significantly with time if those things are supposed to be wired deep inside of us. Also, what you probably imagine is a bunch of girls fighting for some noble born prince, trying to get his attention. Which wpuld be the equivalent of girls chasing male celebrities nowadays. There were no hoards of girls trying to seduce some peasant boy, lol. Which was like the 99% of the population. And if you read some old books about common people lives, the dating dynamics were pretty much the same as they are now, with the guy making the first move (excluding arranged marriage situations). So, all that is to say: I don't think that things are much different today .

Oh no, I am late. Happy birthday ))))

I was wandering whaat is the best way to approach this question with my management/hr. We are each others backups and do literally the same tasks. We even share the same mailbox. The only reason his salary is currently higher is become he started 6 months later than me and his starting pay was higher due to the inflation. I feel like it should have balanced out with raises. An important note is that we are not allowed to discuss our wages so I want to approach this topic without referring directly to him.

@something_else the guy is literally my backup. When he came here, I was the one who taught him everything. And I still have lower salary than him.

But that's the funny thing. I have 6 months more experience than him. But because he started later, starting wages were higher because the company needed to stay competitive due to inflation. According to their system, if I applied to the same position right now, as a total noob, I would get a higher salary simply because of the market changes.

I tried 0.38 gramms of dried mushrooms today (I didn't grind them or make a tea, just ate a whole mushroom) and I feel like I got pretty good results. My mood was great and I was able to be productive. So the dosage seems to be about right. Now I want to start doing it regularly but I am not sure about what is the best schedule. Also, I am wondering if I should just keep eating them whole like I did to day or grind them down and make pills or something.

@M A J I does a dosage matter in choosing a schedule? 0.4 seems a bit too much for 2 days in a row, no? i mean tolerance wise. Like if I took another 0.4 today, it would probably feel much less potent, right?

@Rigel it did feel like a mild trip for me, yes. As I've said this is my first time microdosing. And I wasn't sure how much to take so I just took what intuitively felt right. @Cireeric @acidgoofy how much do you usually take?

What about tolerance build up? If you do it everyday, after how many days will ypu need to take a break? And how long should a break be? How do you weigh the pills/powder. Do you use any special tool to scoop it all and to not waste any? Will the powder loose its potency faster or is it okay if you put it inside of a pill right away?

Disclaimer: please don't take this post too seriously. It's more of me being temporarily depressed and wanting to whine for a bit rather than making some serious statement about society... The Post I am kind of jealous of girls because they can be loved for who they are just by being there, just by the virtue of being a girl. I wish I didn't have to push myself, get out of my comfort zone, work super hard on my confidence, social skills, becoming a millionaire (exaggerating here for a dramatic effect), etc., just to feel like I finally deserve some love and attention. Even bad habits or "negative" personality traits that make a guy unattractive can make a girl seem even more desirable. For example if she is into computer games or anime or is kind of shy and introverted. I imagine it must be cool to be regularly hit on, told that you look cute / pretty / beautiful, to always have some people who want to talk to you, etc. Sure, it must have its downsides and can probaably even get tiring but still... And yeah, like Leo said in his pickup video it's great that a guy can increase his attractiveness a lot by working on himself. And I am all for that idea, sure. But sometimes I wish I could be loved the way I am right now.

@Leo Gura I don't get why people keep making those videos at all... It's not even like you are such a hype youtuber to get lots of views from you. Also this channel is seems so cringe. Their whole business model is based on attacking others. And their thumbnails make me want to puke.

I feel like such a coward sometimes. And I think that at least partially this is a root cause of most of my issues in life. So, how do I change myself? I want to become really brave and decisive.

Can someone help me come up with a nice leg day workout, please? Here's what I've got so far: 1. Barbell Squats: 3-5 sets x 3-5 reps + 3-5 minutes rest 2. Deadlifts: 3-5 sets x 3-5 reps + 3-5 minutes rest What else can I add? I was thinking about something with a higher rep range? - Weighted pistol squats? - Box Jumps? I don't really like working out on machines.

@Vytas I see. Of course there are ifferent body types, some people can gain mass much easier than others. But it's not like your body type is bad. You just need to focus on your stengths. So maybe instead of purely body building program get into calisthenics or strength training. And instead of having goals such as "I want my biceps to grow by x centimeters" set yourself skill or strength based goals. Like: learning a muscle up / handstand pushup / one arm pullup / deadlifting 100 kgs, etc. And focus on achieving those. And as you do that, your body will also become more muscular. You might not become "big", but you definitely can become ripped and muscular this way. And it's more fun in my opinion.

Wow, it's crazy that actualized.org has existed for so long and, unlike many other channels, didn't become stale, repetitive, or irrelevant, but is constantly evolving and going deeper. All due to Leo's vision, idealism, dedication, and hard work over all those years. Leo's dedication to his life purpose is something that I personally look up to. Seriously, thank you, Leo. You have created something that is truly unique and life changing. ???
