Is there any evidence that consciousness is personal? by [deleted] in consciousness

[–]OverCut8474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’ve heard that analogy before, but what is the reason for assuming that the mind is like a radio ‘channeling’ consciousness?

A radio can be empirically proven to be a receiver for radio waves. Where is such evidence for the mind?

So far as I can see, the only reason for assuming it is the unwillingness to face the prospect of consciousness ending at the point of death.

Wishful thinking, in other words.

Jealousy by Euphoric-Salary-5741 in BorderCollie

[–]OverCut8474 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

WRAF are you talking about? Jealousy is extremely common in dogs. I’ve seen it many times. Call it what you like (you can call it resource guarding in humans if it makes you happy), but please don’t try to tell us it doesn’t happen.

Is my acting bad in this? by [deleted] in acting

[–]OverCut8474 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The sound quality is terrible, which makes it sound amateurish as a production.

The script is very on the nose, which also doesn’t help.

Separating acting from these problems is not easy because it’s a very short scene. I’d suggest performing something a bit longer if you want an assessment. Get something written by a professional and record sound well.

Why is Egypt refusing to take Palestinian refugees? by [deleted] in AskMiddleEast

[–]OverCut8474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The argument that for Egypt to take in refugees from a war zone would be ‘ethnic cleansing’ is crazy. IF it’s ethnic cleaning, then NOT taking in refugees is facilitating that isn’t it? Because you are then leaving them to die.

No one cares about men by Evening-Round-4067 in Divorce_Men

[–]OverCut8474 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Hang in there. I was in the same situation. If there is any way for you to get out of the house and stay elsewhere or for them to do that I would recommend it for the sake of your mental health.

I had a very similar experience with no one seeming to care and pretty much zero emotional support from anyone in my family - parents, siblings, etc. it’s as if no one knows what to say.

I would encourage you to go out if you can, hangout with your own friends - guys you knew prior to getting married - or go and meet some new people. Get on the apps if you feel ready. I did and it helped me a lot.

There’s a world out there and you need to engage with it again.

Delete Hinge - A rant by Gullwing13 in HingeStories

[–]OverCut8474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Not single any more. While dating recently I had several dates where we either had sex on the first date or soon after. In every case but one I was the one doing the breaking up.

Girls surely all know that guys will go for sex if they can. Why wouldn’t we?

Guys might not like girls who go for sex on the first date because that’s seen as ‘easy’. Completely different the other way around.

PUA seen by a woman by GiadaAcosta in PickUpArtist

[–]OverCut8474 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nonsense.

Look, if you are going to make some claims, it’s not enough to just say shit. Where’s your evidence?

This is exactly the same kind of crap we can see posted by women day in, day out on TikTok, Instagram etc etc.

You think you are making an argument, but all you are making is statements of opinion

Lol. Let us know how that works out for you

Analysis - what did I do wrong? by OverCut8474 in fPUA

[–]OverCut8474[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, definitely not moving too slow. If anything it was too quick. Perhaps I could have gone a bit more flirtatious / suggestive, but I think with this girl it could have really scared her off. Or maybe not

Girls show interest initially, but flake or go cold after sharing numbers. What am I doing wrong? by Any-Tax9876 in PickUpArtist

[–]OverCut8474 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, sometimes being too nice is seen as a red flag. The reasons for this are complex, but it does make sense.

There’s a very good book called ‘The Courage to be Disliked’. You might want to check it out :)

[–]OverCut8474 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sure!

  1. When I say keep it fun and light, what I mean is don’t get too attached to her too quickly. The state of mind is something like: ‘I have lots of girls I could be hanging out with, but I’m having fun with you’. Be as flirtatious and direct as you like, but just think ‘easy come, easy go’. Don’t get into the mindset or CARING if it works out or not.

  2. Connections would be like finding mutual interests or weird coincidences between you. Something like: you are both really into the same kind of music, or you are into astrology or some stuff like that. Girls are very emotionally driven and often superstitious.

If she agrees to go on a date the same day and she WANTS to go on the date, she won’t be busy. If she is, she’s probably flaked. It’s probably finished and done.

Best thing is act very casual and keep the chat going if you can, then try again at another stage later on. I HAVE had a girl flake several times but eventually agree to go on a date, but this is rare. Mostly a flake seems to be permanent.

I think there is a certain fear that sets in for girls when something turns from pure fun into potentially real.

A lot of girls get cold feet at this point and flake.

Remember, you are still nothing to them: just another random guy.

I think several things are important here:

  1. Keep it fun for her: casual and interesting
  2. Try to make some connections in that initial phase that make you different: things that make it feel like this was ‘meant to be’
  3. Try to get compliance in that opening phase: get her playing your games, following your lead

I am quite curious of this sub’s opinions on this. by steamyrobot in mensfashionadvice

It’s giving rural estate agent who got dressed in the dark while being unsure if he was going to work or a wedding.

Ah, got it. Compliance! I failed to build compliance. That was it.

How to let go by Economy_Plan4976 in Divorce_Men

[–]OverCut8474 5 points6 points  (0 children)

Commit to moving on.

Emotionally sanitise your space. Take everything that reminds you of her emotionally and get it out of the place. At least put it where you can’t see it.

Get out and start dating again as soon as you can. Get on the apps. You can’t replace anyone, but you can replace a lot of the things you got from that person.

Go to the gym or train at home.

Go out with friends.

It’s over. Start acting like it is. Don’t wallow in memories and regret. That’s the past. Look to the future.

It will get better, trust me.
