They are imposing while not seeing it from any others perspective. That is inherently antisocial. Drugs are not necessary to socialize.

Political complacency is perhaps the worst aspect of representative democracy. When you no longer have to seriously consider the weight of your political choices, they become easily co-opted by ideology, group-think, identity politics and media bias. The voting population is partially responsible for this situation with Trump for things to get this bad. Same as with Brexit in the UK. People are too flippant about politics.

I'm also 27 and a virgin. While I do feel pain about this it is nowhere near being suicidal or feeling anguish. I generally accept myself, or at least try to, regardless of what the culture is around sex. I believe that someone who wants me won't care too much if I'm a virgin or not anyway. And if I'm being honest, a major reason for my lack of experience is simply due to not prioritizing sex at all. If I really wanted to, I could get laid within the week. Not because I'm some sort of chad but because I don't believe its that complicated. You could hire a prostitute tomorrow if you wanted to but I think its more about a sense of self worth and competency. Don't be so hard on yourself. If you want therapy buts it too expensive, considering journaling.

I have a family member that has fibromyalgia. Its a terrible disease. They get seizures occasionally where all their muscles tense up, collapse and stop breathing momentarily. It doesn't help that they have autism as well, as they get more easily stressed over seemingly "insignificant" things, like a room being too dusty or there being crumbs on the table. The autistic mind has a tendency to not let go of things sometimes which exacerbates some of the symptoms of their fibromyalgia.

Makes sense.

Humans are the only animals on earth capable of "disconnecting from nature". That is quiet remarkable in of itself if you think about it.

A friend of mine is miserable sad drunk. No fun to be around and I end up having to take responsibility for him. I had to steal his phone from him so he wouldn't message his ex one time.

Humans have evolved to have recognizable features that allow us to read one another. But we also have a strong genetic bias for distinguishing human features as opposed to animals. Animal faces are also widely diverse, it is just not easily recognizable to us due to lack of exposure and lack of significant features compared to humans.

I've had it for years, probably from laying on my side in bed routinely since I was a kid. I've found this video which I want to start applying and see if it works: Has anyone here successfully cured their lateral pelvic tilt? I'll be dying to know how you did i exactly.

Animals just appear to all look the same because we aren't accustomed to noticing subtle differences between individuals of the same species, similar to how people say "all Asians look the same". You only think that if you haven't been around many Asians before (or haven't watched enough JAVs).

I'm sorry for your loss. Its very cute. Looks like a dobermann mix.

Well, my hip is noticeably hiked up on my right side. I also experience a lot of tightness in certain muscles on my right side, especially my glute medius and abductor muscle. In general, I feel my body is unbalanced. Sometimes it causes discomfort.

If you are worried about your mental stability it is probably smart to seek a professional and lay of the psychedelics. Its not really for people who aren't mentally stable or have serious mental illness IMO in most cases.

Drinking pressure is a well documented thing and I've personally experienced it quiet a lot. Consistently, every time I explicitly opt to not drink I've had to explain myself as if it is not my choice to make. You don't know me. I just don't like the taste or getting drunk. It feels like drinking detergent. There is nothing inherently narcissistic about not wanting to drink. This is moronic. Just reread what you wrote, "your a narcissist if you don't drink". "You just want attention". Stop it. I've been on both ends of the aisle. I've been a drunk obnoxious idiot and a stiff sober wanker on different occasions. Getting into a casual conversation with great flow and energy can be really fun though. Don't need to be drunk to do that.

Highly material people tend to see reality as mechanical. If there something they don't understand its because they lack a piece of the puzzle. Its a highly logical worldview that is all about demystification. Its practical and useful but not spiritual which is what mysticism is about. Don't throw pearls to swine. Especially if they didn't even ask for your opinion on reality. That is just kind of weird and autistic.

I was once charged at by a dog with shit smeared all across its snout and mouth. Don't want to think about what would happen if the owner didn't happen to be present.

Its poor manners to let ones pets bother strangers. The choice to own a pet doesn't give you the right to impose on other peoples space with said pet. This is common sense. You dog lovers are so in love with your pets that you tend to forget that most people don't care about someone else's dog. Especially if they are perceived as scary or filthy, which you don't know if they are as a dog owner so you have to respect people's privacy.

It is just the nature of the beast I think. Stage Orange reduces survival down to its essential mechanics. Its effective but also dehumanizing. The problem is short-term goals and incentives inherent in Stage Orange culture and not valuing connection, art and humanity intrinsically. Art commercially often ends up being a means to an end instead of something that wanted to be made. Hence why it doesn't matter to them if an AI made it or not, even if its marginally a worse artist and is exploitative in its design.

Depends on how you define fuck boy or nice guy. If a fuck boy is someone who's extroverted but immature and a nice guy is someone who is insecure and doesn't know how to get what they want directly, then I'll give fuck boys the edge just because they are exposed to more experience generally and most fuck boys will eventually mature. Ideally, men should mature and become resourceful leaders regardless if they are a fuck boy or a nice guy. You'll need different solutions depending on your problems, like if you struggle getting laid because you lack confidence.

The value section is the section that took the longest time for me when progressing through the LP course. I found that I couldn't be perfectionist about it and had to kind of wing it based on feeling with the expectation of further developing these values over time.

Not surprised by this polling. Conservatives absolutely fucked the UK. It is not uncommon for a populace to shift further left politically when the current establishment isn't serving the majority and there's a desire for change.

Yes, but it depends on your values and its a little harder without the social pressure that SD Stage Blue tends to provide or the survival pressures back when we where more directly dependent on each other. It is easier to think "I can do better" nowadays which can hurt longevity. You can love multiple people but its takes more responsibility and puts more pressure on communication and maturity than monogamy.

You are basically just seeing a pattern and then ascribing special meaning to it. The problem with synchronicity is that it is wrought with confirmation bias and self-reference. It is literally just fantasy at the end of the day. Its bullshit. I used to subscribe to it and have all these spiritual fantasies about random things all the time. Never resulted in anything except feel good fantasies of the significance of my life. All positive changes in my life came from me taking action on something. Not from weird numbers randomly appearing somewhere. "42" is just a joke from a movie. Kind of telling lol.

Humans are naturally inclined to think negatively because it beneficial to survival. It helps assess potential problems. Negative assumptions specifically can be problematic because it contracts the mind and makes you less likely to see opportunities and the good things you have going for you. Depression is basically just thinking of yourself in the worst light all the time. Negative thinking also just tends to make you feel worse. I find that people who value acing life tend to be positive thinkers. It is necessary if you want to feel good about your life. So, why not?

If you want to philosophize, just do it. You'll know by feeling when you need to explore or research a specific avenue, like book or a course. Let curiosity guide you, not institutions. If an institution can help you achieve your goals and the costs are worth it, then why not? Academia is not a good route if you wish to make a contribution to the world however. If your life work ends up being an academic textbook it'll most likely just end up collecting dust somewhere in a library. You'll reach way more people just by making Youtube videos for example.
