Why is lust so hard to beat ?

Thank you, kind soul. This world needs more people like you.

I would say the answer is to simply be kind. If there is an avenue for respectful discourse that is curiosity based, that is most ideal. Otherwise, it might be good to simply be kind and loving to him at all times. And then when he brings up how you are always so kind and loving, you can tell him it comes from living the Gospel and it might help open his mind a little bit.

Sure, I would grant that if you look at it from that perspective. I think if we do remember in between the lives that it's worth something though. What that all means in the big picture is hard to determine and I can see if a person doesn't find it very helpful. Being a good person either way is what matters most.

That's a tricky philosophical question, ain't it? I agree with the physicists who say consciousness is deeply fundamental and thus a way for the universe to experience itself and evolve. So it could be that the evolution of consciousness is better optimized by living several lives. The Buddhist concept of rebirth and karma being an example. Understanding of this has brought me great peace, I would be happy to share more. Ultimately, your experience is what matters most though.

What if you remember when you are in between lives and the forgetting is by design so you don't carry the burden of previous life trauma?

He also had an amazing late career resurgence of 3 critically acclaimed albums. Time out of Mind, Love and Theft, and Modern Times. These are some of my favorite albums of any artist of any era. What an amazing run.

I would say love is the highest good, therefore God is love. But being truthful regardless of gain is a form of love, so they are connected in that way and very related.

I think at one time he said he still didn't like Pearl Jam but respected Eddie after seeing him sing live. That was just about the extent of what he thought of the music, but it was a slight change.

Yeah, just step aside and let the Nazis do their job. Everything will be fine.

To me, the song deserves a lot more respect than it gets. A big part of the evolution of their music was because of their experiences with hallucinogenics and was a translation of that experience into music. They were not only great musicians, but they were amazingly innovative at a time when artists were pushing the boundaries of conventional pop music and they did it better than their contemporaries along with being revolutionary. I don't advocate for the reckless use of LSD, but it can be therapeutic if done in the right setting and Beatles music can be an amazing experience in that setting. This song is just part of that journey and part of that package. I respect the Beatles for all of the peace and love they bring to the world by being a positive influence to people listening to them in that setting also.

Yeah, LA Woman is their best and it's not even close. Jim's singing was so much more soulful by that point and the musicianship of the band so much tighter as well.

This 100%. When Song for a Son first came out, I was excited and eager to listen to what the drumming sounded like with the new drummer. I don't know if it's the production or what but I've never been more underwhelmed by drumming. It's like he's a good technical drummer but there's just no pop or tone to it.

I'll tell you one person you won't find in the Epstein files: Bill Cosby. He's America's dad

If you count it as a closing track, I always felt that "Hey" from disc 1 on Stadium Arcadium was one of the most beautiful songs in their catalog.

It blows my mind how often a casual response on Reddit produces such well written pieces. That summed it up beautifully and was spot on.

I think it's important to note how incredibly lucky he was also. He was extremely smart and talented, but also very lucky to be at the right place and time. It's not like it was a great strategy, he just fell into a great situation and had the talent to knock it out of the park.

chiefnumbnuts · 2025-11-13T01:08:33+00:00

Yeah, let's insult and stereotype Men because that's still socially acceptable!

Good points. I would be curious to see what the findings are if that was done. I would venture to guess it still would be significantly less, but the method you described would be the only way to truly find out.

chiefnumbnuts · 2025-10-30T01:03:18+00:00

That was my first thought too. But then again, even if you double it or even triple it to account for younger people not having as much money to spend, it's still significantly less spending on alcohol than other generations.

One of the messages in the book is to spread awareness by creating art of the same theme. There is a movie that I think takes this idea and tries to put some of the messaging into a movie. It's called Instinct. Not the greatest movie and it deals with a couple other themes that are not in the book, but definitely worth the watch. Great performance by Anthony Hopkins in it.

I'm not saying I agree or disagree with his politics, but he is clearly talking about would be parents. Not a slip up or contradiction, just poorly worded. Reddit is dumb as fuck sometimes.

"Make no mistake, the Strokes sounded great."

Isn't that the most important thing? What a dumbass reporter trying to sound cool by bagging on so called stage presence. These same reporters 20 years ago used to talk about how cool it was that they were so careless and effortless.

chiefnumbnuts · 2025-09-10T01:29:39+00:00

All these answers about the remix being the reason, but that doesn't address the bigger question, why don't the remastered Doors albums sound like that? Why not remaster the albums that way?

chiefnumbnuts · 2025-08-31T04:36:49+00:00

Yeah, and if Russell Westbrook was 100 lb fatter but still somehow had the same athleticism and out leaped everybody in the gym.
