Real men are secure. Baby men are misogynist.

I think the basic difference is between supporting inequality and merely stating your dislikes.

Life is not on fire. Life is homeostatic.

And I suppose you served it with some fava beans and a nice chianti. https://i.makeagif.com/media/1-19-2017/iJocSN.gif

What did you use to make the white sauce?

As can be seen from the following analysis, Xtrix maintained a lead from beginning to end. I resigned when it looked like no hope remained. :fear: htt...

You can please some of the people all of the time, you can please all of the people some of the time, but you can pleasure yourself anytime.

Yes, meanwhile, Amazon pays an unlivable wage and Jeff sends Captain Kirk into orbit for shits and giggles. Great politicking! I haven’t stood up for ...

I would hope that a civically educated citizen would know how to spend their time more productively. In any case, it takes very little education to ma...

Civically educated people effectively spend their time producing and publishing threatening anime memes directed at politicians? Shouldn’t they know i...

I like the way you say this too, as though if there were an easy solution, a Buddhist would still do it the hard way. That suggests to me that it’s re...

I like the way you say this, as though it were the simplest thing in the world to do, a piece of cake, or easy peasy lemon squeezy.

Yesterday I learned about the dance plague of 1518. People died, some claim.

Too late, my mind’s been corrupted.

I'm thinking of modernizing a classic Christmas tale with a slight twist. It's a Terrible Life is a story about a man who's killing it in life. He has...

You don't understand what influence is?
November 17, 2021 at 23:11
It may be nonsense for people who can think for themselves, but Gosar has influence over weak and potentially violent minds. https://i.insider.com/60c...

Maybe a Tim Burtonish Christmas theme. :death:

They use video surveillance at ballot processing facilities. Perhaps a live video stream of Baden could be posted in the OP during the voting period. ...

The interesting thing is that I think it can be merely an attitude, and an attitude where, for example, you could see you own life as a game, or conve...

I don’t see how we’re in disagreement. Cooperation isn’t necessarily selfless or selfish, though as I mentioned, people realize that they may personal...

I'd be having a whale of a time if there were more cute sperm whale gifs. This one's prittty cool though. https://i.pinimg.com/originals/ec/e2/54/ece2...

Fuck, that fuck’n sucks. Anyway, I just remembered the line in my Occurrence at Owl Creek Bridge writing assignment where the teacher wrote “very good...
November 16, 2021 at 19:34
This is self-contradictory, if people don’t benefit from cooperation then they don’t cooperate. Mutuality is necessary, and our natural capacity of re...

Catching myself, I would sometimes try to follow it with a “Praise the Lord!” but it always came out weak and my voice would nervously crack.
November 16, 2021 at 18:28
No, it was Jesus Christ school. I was expelled for using the Lords name in vain too often and that’s why I despise religion. Every time I got a bad gr...

I remember seeing it in a JC creative writing class years ago.

So not the queen’s gambit but some other nail biter of an opening that I’m not familiar with. :grimace:

I find that being in a relaxed state promotes a meditative state of mind and that's why breathing (slow, through the nose, and with the diaphragm) is ...
November 16, 2021 at 00:41
I go the other direction in meditation because it’s naturally relaxing, stimulates the somatic nervous system and that helps to suppress the DMN (defa...

Uh, my rocket science is a little rusty.
November 15, 2021 at 15:58
I think they call that holotropic breathwork.
November 15, 2021 at 15:51
This is silly, as it’s obvious how natural it is for people to cooperate for mutual benefit.
November 15, 2021 at 15:48
Because you're white? I thought it said that it was randomly selected. In any case, I'd like to play against the queen's gambit.
November 13, 2021 at 17:24
You’re playing white so it’s your move. :point:
November 13, 2021 at 04:35
I see that you have a significantly higher rating so I wouldn’t be a challenge in blitz. Maybe a long (days) game if that interests you at all.

Learn how to relax.

I’ve agreed to honor Baden’s plea for mercy. I shall henceforth be a saint amongst men in relation to the Atheist God.

I miss Jundo. :lol:

If they come in sour grape flavor perhaps it could be said that many Western Buddhist’s are sourgraping. :blush:

Ah, I just started reading a book called Dopamine Nation and should soon learn if what you say is true.
