  1. Yeah. Have you looked into this much? I don't see this as even remotely intelligent, it seems obvious it's coming from social pressure given gender identity is social(traditional gender roles).
  2. What is the point of transitioning?(Rhetorical question) It's mutilating someone to fit into traditional social roles, that's egregious to do to a child.
  3. I would try to process anything you haven't moved on from from the past, I like to use a journal, view it, accept it, and move on with your life, sounds like you're carrying some things from the past. I suggest looking at Maslow's hierarchy of needs to see if you're missing anything below companionship stage, that will hold you back from making desirable connections. And lastly, just have fun, forget the pressure you're putting on making connections, just enjoy the life that's in front of you, it's likely you'll make good connections but it's fine if you don't.
  4. @onacloudynight I suggest not wasting your energy hating this world, I suggest recognizing the beauty in how it is, yes let's work to make it how we want but it's counter productive to "be bogged down" with this hate. Accepting it and appreciating it's beauty is how you attain the will to change it rather than just being sad about it, in actuality seeing the beauty in it is actually the cure you're seeking, imagine everyone recognising how great this experience is, everything is 'solved' right there. It's contagious, try it, appreciate what is, see what happens, and i don't just mean appreciating the 'good' things, it's all beautiful, perfect.
  5. He made one on Ukraine some years ago as well, how the west was involved and their interests.
  6. I'm curious why you think the vaccine causes mutations, the vaccine does reduce transmission despite the misinformation campaign otherwise. From my gathering the vaccine reduces mutation due to less spread.
  7. mRNA technology has been around and tested a long time, it just hasn't been used due to cost. Messenger RNA, or mRNA, was discovered in the early 1960s; research into how mRNA could be delivered into cells was developed in the 1970s.Oct 6, 2021 https://publichealth.jhu.edu › the-lo...

  8. @bloomer Do you believe a lot of people died from the virus? Do you think the vaccine helps combat covid? Do you oppose any other vaccines or just mRna? I don't think anyone is suggesting to blindly follow these greedy drug companies, but it's in their best long term interest to not have a huge faulty vaccine, they have the most money to lose by that, they know their business would be done.
  9. If he was as fake loving as those other teachers and still so immersed with his audience as he is, IT'D BE A CULT!
  10. This guy will introduce new people to Leo by them now being curious, and after they watch some more they'll be subscribers. Let them keep making them!
  11. What are the areas where there is the greatest return on investment for government right now? U.S. based question for me but feel free to cite the country you're referring to if it's somewhere else. -I think inner city schools should be smaller with smaller class sizes, and have more free extra curricular activities. To me inner city schools are a problem right now. I think this is far more important at this time than free community college. -I think there need to be more police in general as well. Along with more community centered policing, where the officers are from the community and treat everyone innocent until there's reasonable suspicion, treating people with respect. I also think individuals should be encouraged to be able to defend themselves as well though; self defense and even just simple audible alarms that scare burglars and alert bystanders or neighbors, home surveillance systems are reasonable nowadays.
  12. What areas would be best to start with? Consumer regulations, education, central banking, healthcare, retirement?
  13. I guess my emphasis was more on the "horrible" part of your comment, as faux pas and sadistic as it sounds, war is a beautiful thing in a way, you see the fear and passion and even love if you look for it.
  14. @integral I think your situation is normal, moving in together has a learning period, this thread is full of some ridiculous comments.
  15. What country are you in? I hear removing wisdom teeth is an American thing, I'm 32 and have all four wisdom teeth.
  16. Not living with a woman can slow down growth as well. Say live with a woman when you are at that stage of development(Maslow's needs), live with her to satisfy that part in you and then when you're ready to move on to something deeper you separate. Satisfying all the Maslow levels in order seems to be the fastest way for development, if you try to bypass that without actually losing that desire deep down you'll likely just spin your wheels at higher stages, with that lack of experience which you still desire holding you back like an anchor.
  17. @Michael569 Her having close friends and particularly nearby is usually essential as well.
  18. You seem young, don't waste your life being bitter and lying to yourself like this playing the victim.
  19. I didn't start going to the dentist regularly until my twenties, didn't start having cavities until a few years after that, I was going twice a year for cleanings, they scrape your teeth with metal picks, I think they scratch your enamel which makes you more cavity prone, enamel is really hard but it can become thin. The hygienist always told me my teeth were really clean too, I'm leery. I think avoiding sugar, rinsing with water, flossing daily, brushing really well twice a day, and inspect your teeth often with a little dental mirror scraping off any plaque, otherwise probably best to go to the dentist. The dentist is like liposuction for your mouth, you eat sh!t and it screws up your teeth, prevention is preferred. Chewing your food more, eating more whole foods, and working on your body and mouth posture will help your bite, an odd bite will wear on your teeth. See 'mewing'.
  20. Read men are from mars women are from venus, you don't understand men for either of your comments.
  21. Read men are from mars women are from venus if you haven't already, she's likely just excited and requires communication, if you discuss this problem with her she will likely be happy to help/leave you alone.
  22. You told her what you're telling us? "Honey, I've been getting distracted during work hours with your requests, I lose my train of thought and can't focus, I need you to respect my work hours."
