And you know who delivered the deception over decadeβs to fuck America up. Can we get back on track? Only untilβ¦.
Man, they gotta come up with some better traps for retards like me!
Very true
I literally don't have time for any of that, maybe a bit of weed to ease the fact that I don't have enough bitcoin!
So, so true. My non partaking in the above - a couple were past mistakes - makes me seem Amish to a lot of my contemporaries.
Modern antidote: Sport, Reading, Nostr, Faith, Discipline, Sobriety.
weed good
Weed bad
in certain contexts, I think it can be beneficial. stereotypical βstonerβ lifestyle obviously not something to strive for.
Weed bad, but alcohol good?
Bro please π
Both are bad bro bro
Ok aligned bro
Why do you consider therapy to be bad?
Most modern therapy pathologizes normal life. Creates a victim culture. Turns trauma into identity. Labels everyone as some type of mentally ill, when really they just suffer from ordinary misery. Endless self rumination is toxic, which is exactly what therapy does. Thereβs no morality or guiding principles. I could go onβ¦ lol
"Most" would be the keyword here as none of this applies to my productive and beneficial experiences with therapy. Though I do agree with some of your points, I think labelling therapy as bad and a trap is generalizing and not valid. Therapy can be like a box of chocolates.
Most therapy is bad
This sounds like you had a bad experience yourself on which you base a vague general statement , or you had no experience at all with makes the statement baseless. There is no βmost therapyβ as each example of therapy is a unique relationship between the therapist and the person using the therapy. Good therapy aims to undo all the things you listed, and is a useful tool for some aspects of life.
This sounds like you donβt have as good or clear of an understanding of the cultural zeitgeist as I do. Glad you had a good experience in therapy though.
The problem with Therapists :
Regardless if you feel you have a good understanding of the zeitgeist or not, generalisation as a way of seeing the world is rarely helpful long term. Donβt trust (someone elseβs opinion), verify (for yourself). π§π»ββοΈ
Iβve done therapy a few times. Itβs not for me, but again happy you found value in it!
found out that i need mentors and coaches instead of a therapists and psychologists tbh
regular ranting and trauma dumping is not good for you
need guidance, inspo and tips and tricks on how to succeed
Incentives are messed up, too, in therapy. A few people need it. Most donβt.
Unfortunately those are always the people least likely to go to therapy lol π
Are you implying they know too much about human psych that it's harmful and counter-productive?
π
Losing youthful spirit is the death of experience. Those examples seem like escape mechanisms for a dying culture and lack of face to face interaction.
I do enjoy a splif and game here and there though.
There's nothing wrong with vices and escapes in moderation
Agreed!
Translate for a non-young woman, what is "boss babe culture"?
Hyper independent women who are faux empowered to glorify hustle culture and over-identify with their career status.
What's wrong about video games?
Hijack the reward mechanism. Fake achievement.
Video games are a weirdly sacred cow. People don't want to admit that marinating your brain in an engineered fictional world is somehow bad for you
There's a good chance, if it wasn't for RPG video games - with alternative monetary systems, I would not been open to the idea of Bitcoin. (I'm almost certain of it)
Single player campaigns are no different than books. I stopped online gaming 20 years ago as I found it was largely mind rot (unreal tournament 2004)
Buddy stop drinking alcohol. Work on that.
I pretty much donβt anymore. Maybe 6 drinks a year total.
This is sad man, don't go extreme to the other side you'll just swing right back.
lol π
Alcohol is poisonous.
But it's also fun π
Checks outβ¦.

And what are your traps?
So many. Itβs not like Iβm immune to any on the list above either.
So it is also a reminder for yourself, not only advises for others.
Yes absolutely
And did you get out your traps always alone or with others helps?
Alone
this is the way
Even Grogu helped the one who protect him, sometimes...
I remember this note from a good man :

It seems you came from an extreme to another.
You relied on bad people who betrayed you or your faith : "I had a misplaced sense of loyalty and was loyal to the wrong people at times. ", "I made enemies"
So now that you changed everything, you don't miss anythings about this 10 years ago guy?
No I donβt miss anything. I dropped the things that no longer served me and I kept the things that did. I donβt consider that extreme. Nor do I consider my original post above βextremeβ in any sense.
Hope to see what you will be in 10 years so.
You have some clear view about yourself, it is not so ordinary.
Everyone this image is cgi. Trump was never friends with Epstein. Only bill clinton. Conservatives and Christianβs cannot be pedos. Only liberals like Biden and Clinton. Trump is a Christian and never fuked little kids. The democratic hoax machine created this cgi image of Epstein and trump. Trump in the past fucked little kids but after his recent assasination attempt found Jesus and god according to @Jor and @Jerry Loves Freedom
Fiat mindset in general
βThings I donβt like are very bad.β Lol

A tangent to porn for men: spending all your energy trying to get laid constantly. It's like real life porn, hollow, soulless, meaningless.
Now to whew created all of those things.
If you don't understand that the purpose of cannabis is to help you reach a meditative state, you don't understand cannabis.

Why is weed a trap? Don't answer, cause it's just hatin'
Modern traps - taking advice from an influencer.
The devil would hate this post
Not including alcohol just proves how much itβs the alpha trap for all.
Accepted, promoted, loved, longed after, relaxing, sophisticated.
I quit 2 years ago & like BTC, my life chart when up & to the right.
not including pills and opioids when we have a huge problem with that in America means this is just a list of this i don't like.
I smoked multiple times a day everyday in high-school as a coping mechanism for severe depression that was caused by medication, and i disnt end up trapped.
Valid point but I think the pills/opioids comes after the initial trap. At least thatβs how I read his post.
Itβs more about things that are sold as βharmlessβ or accepted & then BAM; you ded.
Pills and opioids usually come after you hurt your back, not from the "gateway drug" that grows wild in every part of the world
Right thatβs the point. These things seem innocuous but can quietly ruin you. I didnβt include alcohol because itβs not uniquely modern. Alcohol has been a trap for every generation. That should be well known and understood. Wheras if I even lightly criticize weed people get offended.
Forgot about that. Very valid point. I retract.
Iβve seen this hit close to home as well. Heartbreaking addiction via a trusted doctor.

Fuck weed. Shit is a brain killer. And smells like ass.
Tried once many moons ago. Knew it wasnβt for me.
What If @HODL is my porn? What do i do now.
Zzzzzzip
Infinite Attention apps are as damaging to young womenβs futures as handing young men a bunch of meth and guns.
Never was into sports or betting. Porn and weed are gone.
Video games, oh man I love me some gaming. I enjoy all art forms and ludic(play) art is so new and exciting! However, I see old friends wasting away at video games without even breaking the surface of why they like playing games in the first place or how games differ with their storytelling from movies, paintings, music, books, etc.
Content creator gamers/streamers have the most shallow interpretation and understanding of games. They completely ignore or are unaware of what the gameplay is doing to reinforce the storytelling.
I was about to go into detail with specific examples but I can see my spirit animal losing interest. Iβll just say this: moderation is essential, always think deeply about the media you consume, and what would God approve of or disapprove of?
What alpha bro carnivore diet incel shit is this?
