  1. I just picked on you to see how you would respond to tasting your own medicine
  2. @Someone here Bro ngl you have a tendency to derail a lot of topics by picking on people's insecurities. Just an observation
  3. Leo's apology seems to tie into a bigger picture which I agree with. Then again, people handle jokes differently. Whether or not you want to modify your behaviour to accommodate every type of person on a forum is up to you. I also don't know if I personally would make such a joke. I just happened to laugh at the joke .
  4. I kinda realized this. I'm a moron and I don't want to die (yet).
  5. I think people who feel persecuted have a hard time dealing with humor in general. If you're used to people being an asshole towards you, and then when somebody makes a joke pretending to be that asshole, I can understand why it could feel bad for that person. Then again, humor is a very complex phenomena. Sometimes you can start laughing exactly because of how insanely fucked up something is. One shouldn't equate laughter with endorsing what is being laughed about.
  6. Sorry, but no. I don't agree with such a simplistic view of humor. I found it funny exactly because I DO value women, and seeing those words coming from somebody who I believe also respects women is the very reason why it's funny. It's unexpected, it's comedic. If it came out of the mouth of some conservative lunatic, then I would probably not find it funny, atleast not for the same reason.
  7. They should add another dimension called "averse to ambivalent phrasing of questions"
  8. This is the first video I remember watching at a hotel room in Rome in autumn of 2016. I was essentially stuck on vacation while going through severe withdrawals from cannabis (yes, that is possible), and I had decided to graduate from philosophizing about reality à la Terrence McKenna to investigating reality through mindfulness and awareness. That quickly lead to my first glimpse of non-duality later that year, and my life changed drastically.
  9. My first time was on a tab of LSD with 7 other people inside one house, and I licked the scissors that we used to cut the tabs. We also smoked tons of weed beforehand, so we were basically tripping even before dropping. Probably the most disorienting yet profound experience of my life lol
  10. Don't you think he is being overtly flippant as a joke? LOL. It's the funniest thing I've read all day . It makes me laugh everytime I read it LOOOL
  11. For me, MBTI is kinda meh. Before I took the test, I thought I was INTP. I got INFP-A by a 1% margin on the feeling vs. thinking part. I also feel that I'm unable to know whether I'm answering according to what I aspire to be or believe is the right way to be rather than the way I actually am.
  12. You should move if you feel like moving,
  13. Sexual and romantic interests is very different from questions about race or gender inequality. Just because you feel attracted to very few people doesn't mean you hate the rest.
  14. Is this room you're taking it in relatively silent and not close to other people? You may become more senstive to noises that you're otherwise blocking out, which may make you want to get out of the room, It's good to have a room that is truly safe that you can use as a base. If you're determined about doing it alone, you should pick a low dose just to test the waters. To make it spiritually beneficial, sit in silence, just relax or listen to music. You can also watch some videos of people like Alan Watts or Sadhguru. Just listening to awake people speaking can make you pick up on their state of awareness.
  15. Despite Norway being generally green, my mom leans towards blue-orange, and my dad is very green. They got separated when I was 7, and it was my mom that wanted separation if I remember correctly. Maybe that speaks for itself or maybe not . Now my dad is happily married with a green goddess from Portland, Oregon (can you get any more green lol), and my mom is still single. She has been dating a policeman, some ex-military dude and a professional athlete (pretty blue stuff).
  16. That is exactly what is meant by illusion: it's not what it appears to be, but it "is". If something can appear as something else, then that something must also exist
  17. The idea that everything is an illusion is just a concession to the average persons culturally sanctioned conception of reality. In the West, reality consists of physical objects suspended in physical space. We're just individuals with separate meat-based vehicles travelling around inside our head, and we're experiencing a world that exists independent of ourselves. This is reality for most people in the West. When you say that reality is an illusion, you're saying that reality is not what it appears to be. However, when you step out of the illusion, reality is no longer illusory for you in the same fashion that it used to.
  18. Illusions exist; they're just not what they appear to be.
  19. It's sad when a topic made by someone who genuinely wants to understand something gets derailed like this
  20. Try to find the specific things that you're holding on to that is creating the resistance and fear. Usually when fear arises, it tries to justify itself through thought, giving you reasons for why you should keep holding on to the fear. Try to address these things directly, whether that is about fixing something in your life or just letting go of something that you have no control over. However at the end of the day, it's all about giving up control.
  21. He is not just pointing at a car and asking about it. He is pointing at a car, calling it an elephant, and asks why it doesn't fly.
