If I was you I would focus on escaping wage slavery first. Hardcore spiritual practice can come when you are sufficiently gorged on success and you have more time and financial freedom. You can bootstrap a rapping career by combining particular niches that require little start-up capital. https://www.actualized.org/insights/breaking-out-of-wage-slavery Alternatively you could renounce modern life and join a monastery of some kind though you'll have less freedom long-term with this plan.

Meditation will help discipline your mind. If you want to get rid of sexual urges permanently you'll have to snip your balls off. It's easier to just accept your sexuality though. Masturbation is normal and healthy. If you masturbate too much your most likely just bored.

Scars in media are typically signs of badassery. Like a scar that curves over the eye after fighting a dragon. Come to think of it, the only aesthetic scars are small thin ones. I have a huge scar on my leg and it is just a mess of irregular blotches of scar tissue.

I think when it starts looking disfiguring that scars become unattractive just purely from an aesthetic perspective. It is not really going to elevate you in terms of attraction otherwise but it can add some mystique perhaps.

Mating is monkey business. Give to god what is god's and to Ceasar what is Ceasar's. But a relationship can teach you compromise, communication and confront you with all your human insecurities and emotional blockades. There's value and necessity in living out the dream to a certain extent.

Nobody gives a shit on the streets. People are too busy dealing with their own life. That is the natural state. It's a little weird to even think that that should be different, to be honest. If you got constant attention from strangers it would get old quickly. It's legit one of the downsides of being really famous or a really attractive woman.

I used to fast regularly, You'll be surprised how much time you spend on eating and making food. Fasting days are a great day to focus on a less active interests and contemplation. It's quiet freeing in a sense to fast and your energy levels don't suffer too much when fasting in my experience. I once climbed a mountain while fasting though I did feel lethargic doing it admittedly. You also save a bit of food and money when you don't eat. That's why really poor people fast a lot.

I kind of agree with this. The factors that enable an authoritarian like Trump isn't unique to him. When Trumpism fails some other authoritarian will probably show up. We also see authoritarianism in the rise in Europe as well. It's a societal sliding scale so focusing on Trump specifically isn't as productive as focusing on the big picture of democracy and upholding checks and balances. I don't believe there's any difference in actuality but it comes of as just a deranged woke knee-jerk reaction to Trump. Fatherless college kids yelling at clouds. Laymen haven't been properly introduced to the big picture as an idea. It's just about presentation.

Stay away from soda. I have a relative who's addicted to diet soda. It can turn into an addiction and its bad for your teeth. It also kind of makes you look childish at the dinner table, not gonna lie.

I've been drinking just water for years. I'm really grateful that I don't have any big cravings when it comes to liquids. When I drink I don't even think about flavor. I drink just to quench my thirst. I always have a bottle next to me at home. I think it is a matter of what your used to. If you've been drinking flavors for years I can see it being pretty bland to switch to just water. I have a relative who is diabetic and he likes to drink a lot of milk, sugar free chocolate milk and yogurt.

Congratulations <3333 What does it taste like?

Israel is definitely punching down here. Israel wouldn't be still standing if it couldn't win the fights it starts. Arabs are generally not very effective at waging war. Their armies exist first and foremost to maintain the regime in power as opposed to a direct conflict. It's just a gut feeling, but even without the US I think Israel would manage. I think their culture instill the perception of being surrounded by enemies as well as intellectualism.

I found this Reddit comment insightful:

Only one guy survived. Here's a pretty good analysis of the situation:

Good time to invest into Boeing.

It's a bit premature perhaps to call it life purpose if you have very little experience doing these things, but it is definitely a good sign that you should continue pursuing them. Just see what happens.

I find distance to be necessary with family members that get on my nerves. Very simple. Requires that you have some self-sufficiency though.

Popeyes.

You Americans look like this from the outside. Try not to drown...

It is this exact snowflakery why people make fun of the left. Get real.

Because filming yourself having a meltdown isn't completely ridiculous and attention seeking.

Probably the most frustrating aspect of the left is their inability to acknowledge when things don't work according to their ideals. You can't even just talk about it without being labeled a racist or whatever. They just stick their heads in the sand and ignore it which leads people to loss trust in democratic institutions as they start feeling unsafe, powerless and unheard. Then they vote in Hitler who just needs to stoke the flames of their genuine grievances and there is your democratic decline. Like just in this thread, leftists can't make any actual argument for why controlled immigration is actually bad. It's all because it's racist, Trump bad, capitalism bad, white guilt (implied), buzzword, buzzword. They just don't like the vibe of violence and take survival for granted and they are very puritanical about it. I'm politically left-wing on most aspects, but honestly fuck the left. The best thing about Trump getting elected is fatherless people melting down on camera.

Christiania was a special case because the government/police didn't have any jurisdiction over it until recently. It was a Stage Green anarchist commune which eventually got overrun by gangs. Great case study in how a lack of conflict management and enforcement actually leads to more violence long-term. But your, right. Europe has been very cuckish and its only recently that that started to shift. Germany in particular has this culture of guilt and purity. The left is in general delusional about immigration which is why I tend to vote center left to escape that optics centered nonsense. America is still way more polarized politically though.

The American left seems to be a particular brand of stupid. It's so very optics based. Like immigration control is problematic just because it looks racist, irrespective if it actually is in of itself. In Denmark, you have to go far, far left all the the way to the fringes of the political aisle before anyone even starts thinking that controlled immigration is problematic. there isn't this noise of if its even slightly conservative its automatically bad. Political polarization is Americas most toxic cultural export, as I see it kind of spread through the internet.
