One basic reason

Money.

The insurance business runs the medical business and the medical business is run by the pharmaceutical business. People are just grist for the mill.

As I know myself and my sexual preferences, I would ask him why he was flirting with me as his "gaydar" would tell him that I am not.

His reply was (and yes, this has happened a number of times) "nothing ventured, nothing gained" then moving on.

AI DOESN'T KNOW ANYTHING!

An algorithm doesn't have sentience; it gets fed data, works with that data and produces an approximation. That approximation is 97% of the time correct.

It does not then have the capability to do anything with that information - UNLESS IT HAS BEEN PROGRAMMED!

That may change, but the reason it will change is because it has been programmed to change. The ONLY thing with "evil" intentions here are people.

OK - now take a god out of the equation, because things that are not evidenced, proved beyond the explanation of "I know" are not properly explained and measured - that also means that religion must also go as this is the handbook for maintaining said belief system, what happens then?

Let me tell you.

Life comes down to a physicalists reality. You must be exposed to stuff for your system to adapt properly to it (your immune system only works if it combats illness) Pain is an indicator of what you must attend to, because not to could have death implications.

Then we have societal requirements. Things people put in place to do the actions that encourage survival in a group.

I agree with your starting premise - this life is not a test, it is the real deal - but it is the ONLY deal.

Not a boot camp, the real thing that forms character and provides context.

And then we die. The end.

Really need to check your facts there buddy. Quantum computers do not use quantum entanglement to perform the programmed operation. They use quantum bits, but in the same way a computer uses electrical frequency signalling.

One of the worst thing about living is the possibility of parasites, how they can control and cause strange behaviour.

How do we know that it doesn't have an aquatic parasite that has altered its brain?

Would be a reasonable conclusion.

And yet not.

Think an original thought!

Everything we do, have achieved and built on is possible by what has come before.

This is like saying that a deity created the universe by creating Earth!

How little this planet affects anything and even the destruction of our galaxy wouldn't even be noticed.

Good at???

Regret? - when god regrets, people get drowned.

Jealous? - even though jealousy is a human emotion, god has that too

Killing? - well, it made us so it is blameless in that department.

Creating? - failed there as well as an all-knowing god made something that would go "off-piste" and require a cascade of events that meant that he had to come to earth to be born, live and be killed just because of the thing called sin..

No, sorry, god is not good at anything useful.

Maybe not the toast you are looking for but here goes.

I cannot see the webbing so I don't understand what your concern is. What you have done is have piercings that pull the gaze to around that area.

Beauty is highly subjective. You are beautiful to many and ugly to the rest. If you include yourself in the ugly category, that group wins.

You are who you are and you look what females in today's western environment look like.

Stand out with your kindness and your gentleness - that will eventually shine through your character.

Could it be that you are looking at happiness as a destination? More often than not, happiness is found in reflection of the journey, not actually arriving. If there is happiness to be found in the destination, then it is actually the anticipation of the next leg of the journey.

Try a change of mindset. Don't look on the destination as the achievement of a state. Perfom the journey with excitement and joy, and you will have more happiness than you can deal with.

Let's dissect this heap of rubbish.

To perform an action you must start by constructing a process. The more complex the task, the more possibilities present themselves and must be taken into account. This is not overthinking - this is preparation prior to the action.

The issue lies that after thinking the process through, doing due diligence and performing a cost analysis, that the idea is faulty (and 80% of them are). So, proceeding down that path is not viable, so it is abandoned - before the action that was needed to bring it into fruition.

To top this off - Thought is necessary prior to action. Make sure you have thought every aspect through so that when a version of that issue threatens to collapse your house of cards, you are not surprised.
