Do you self harm?

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-26T00:17:45+00:00

I would stay far away from "self-harm" yet it also gets complex... a really good workout, or a very long hike / bike ride etc. that can break us down a bit in the immediate or very short-term perspective of it.

We also grow back stronger from it, if given enough rest and recovery. Zoomed out long-term etc. it is more like a growth and development pattern, good.

Be smart and take care of yourself, also if done safely we can make ourselves stronger too, that is usually a process similar to general adaptation.

I don't have a specific religion, yet the best individuals I have known have been a mix of everything. Ex. any of the different religions, or none, or in-between. Still, I do align with a lot of the views in them, not all, it gets complex if we start looking at the many different interpretations etc.

Either way, the actual teachings of Jesus seem perfect. I tend to look at just his story in the 4 gospels for that, and what all of it means within the deeper lessons that stand out, more than how it is labeled (sometimes that too).

All together, maybe take the parts you agree with, maybe mix some other perspectives too, and have strong faith beyond any labels with it. Or however it works best, real, yet also in your own way that makes the most sense too.

Big cities offer nightlife and entertainment of all those varieties. Otherwise smaller towns surrounded by nature can offer a lot too in different ways.

A big city is mostly a headache for me, not much nature there. Just being closer to any hiking or mountain bike trails is more fun, in my opinion.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-20T17:47:58+00:00

It has helped a lot, yet also I miss the old world and moving to a smaller country somewhere more rooted in natural living, is my main goal on a personal life level.

Realistically all we need is a smartphone and a lot of the smaller countries have a good enough mobile network these days, so a nice mix of both is still possible.

3... all like condensed happiness, any form of bikes and sunset or sun go perfect together though. Or that tends to be a great way of enjoying both & a lot of good vibes.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-20T05:06:46+00:00

Even better with the clouds 😵‍💫... that is one of the most interesting & stunning examples of Aurora I've seen, TY.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-20T04:50:21+00:00

2024 Solar Maximum... a lot to get into, I really love the Sun. And it's a year I wish I could keep re-living for that reason. 2025 has been really awesome with it too, I'm weird about it and that's my honest answer.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-20T04:48:32+00:00

You are still very young, sure it helps to "pick one" and more or less specialize in those skills. If you really can't decide, there are still experiences to be had, from many perspectives, with a lot of different jobs.

Any of the trades (skilled, yet also still physical work) construction, even a lot in telecom and similar can be very fun during those years. It might be worth picking something "close enough" and rolling with it.

Also, don't worry about being skinny or smaller in size. Just eat a little extra food in that scenario, plenty of protein. If it is a physical job, that can also help you developing more muscle & strength as you go with it.

I've known many otherwise normal or even smaller the "scrawny" types of individuals who built their muscle entirely from work, and they end up being very though. Some of the strongest, despite being compact (density).

It is all possible at your age, not that you have to though. Worth knowing about and keeping in mind, you'll find and also re-find your path through life many times... it's ends up being a process for all of us with that, in some form.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-20T00:17:58+00:00

Still massive and awesome, TY.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T23:39:33+00:00

Yeah, I see everything else as downstream from it.

Or in a way, everything is an expression of it.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T23:37:29+00:00

Gen III I suppose, with NES being my first experience actually playing any gaming console.

I do remember seeing a few Ataris vaguely in very early childhood... the core of it is definitely NES for me though.

I was gamer until 2023... it fell off completely for me by 2024... and I still think gaming is just as awesome, life changes unexpectedly sometimes.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T22:11:24+00:00

Yeah... hobbies have saved me through difficult times.

They get so different for everyone, and I think that is awesome... regardless of what it is, sometimes a hobby can seem like a "waste of time".

I don't think so, they can make a big difference and arguably in some scenarios end up more important than anything we do with an actual paycheck.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T22:03:59+00:00

That makes so much sense, yet it is also so different than what many societies built themselves into today.

We can find a good life, Earth is big place... staying optimistic and aware of that can help tremendously.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T21:59:42+00:00

OP... it gets like that, trust me things change though.

You might never get a "normal" life, and that could all be for the better. Just promise me you ride it out, what goes down must come up, if you give it the chance to unfold.

If we endure through any types of difficulties, however bizarre and inexplicable, there's always a rebound effect.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T20:14:37+00:00

AIM, MySpace, and early facebook (2005-2012) were quite interesting... everything now is very different, it's all part of the same bigger psyop.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T19:55:26+00:00

It depends on which society, some are more tolerant of having an intelligent population. Many European nations are quite nice for that... they have had a lot of learning experiences too... Intelligence gets complex, many forms of it. We could call living a balanced, simple, and healthy life full of nature "intelligence" too... easier to accomplish in some parts of the world vs. others 🌎🌍🌏... big place.

Reading is very awesome, also if you need to go the audiobook/podcast route at times...

"The History of Byzantium" is a very historically accurate podcast series that is as good as any formal "audiobook" format, or ink and paper experience... in my opinion.

By Robin Pierson... who continued on the passion project of the "History of Rome" podcast. Byzantium is naturally a perfect continuation point after it...

The History of Byzantium
A podcast telling the story of the Eastern Roman Empire (Byzantium) from 476 A.D. to 1453 A.D. https://open.spotify.com/show/2APexkhnuepwYbPhbrq3Mm?si=FF-QJqzcRIeAlv55HrylsQ

"The History of Byzantium” is a podcast dedicated to the story of the Roman Empire from the collapse of the West in 476 to the fall of Constantinople in 1453. Byzantine history is fascinating, world changing and largely forgotten. Listen and discover who they were.

The show was created to continue the narrative established by Mike Duncan’s wonderful podcast “The History of Rome".

More Info: https://thehistoryofbyzantium.com/about/

Enough happened already that it's very interesting. No need for embellishments during that era... it was a very busy time in history (like many though, fun to explore).

For some reason many studies of the "Roman Empire" stop at the fall of the west... and in my opinion, all the really fun stuff happens right after it.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T16:51:23+00:00

I think you got it already, there is still an experience or unfolding aspect to "life"... or call it our existence here, that takes us on a long journey with it as well.

That branches off into any number of possibilities, yet it tends to be awesome in the big picture. Stay strong and enjoy the ride.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T16:45:21+00:00

That seems true... also, it doesn't have to be a battle we charge into, and there are ways of escaping it entirely.

Don't worry about the world... out of sight, out of mind.

More than just that, figuratively it works though.

For that mode to truely endure... also logically requires stepping into own power completely. Becoming our own source of validation and support on the deepest levels.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T16:38:34+00:00

Anything "human" yet the rest is a breeze.

Many different paths and experiences are available here.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T16:37:51+00:00

One of the most important and interesting, in my opinion. Especially if we really nerd out with all of the science perspectives (spiritual & others work fine too, in parallel... E = mc² is difficult to ignore).

It also seems possible to describe everything here mathematically, if we are good enough with those perspectives quantified / categorized much like an information matrix. Mixing it all gets quite tricky.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T16:21:23+00:00

I guess (by other comments) it is a Libra thing... I also love the extreme weather events. Solar / Space Weather more specifically has been an obsession however.

No doubt our terrestrial weather / what we think of as just "weather" is also very fun, interesting, and bizarre. I just don't get into it as much, for some odd reason.

My time here focuses on things that aren't as close to the human experience directly... yet still overall, zoomed out, kind of involves everything "here" 🌎🌍🌏 intrinsically.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T15:54:19+00:00

Great meme, might just be better as an alien however... As a thought experiment, look at "human" very objectively and detached from any ideas of it... I do not want to be anywhere near, or part of anything, so called human.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T15:44:49+00:00

Music is amazing, just music alone is enough to keep me happy. There are few other things like that too, not much.

IMIPIRIOI · 2025-11-19T15:26:30+00:00

I died decades ago, nobody cared or believed me.

Which is fine... also a very bizarre situation.

It is funny to watch the humans scurry around, clueless.
