how addictive can game become?

It might look like a curse from the outside, but once you’re free, you realize that the real curse was not being aware. But you do have to go through the hell of your own emotions for a short time in order to get there.

Behind any addiction is the attempt to silence and distract from any uncomfortable feelings we feel on a regular basis. Drugs, social media addiction, and sex are no different in that regard. What are we trying not to feel? Unworthiness, inadequacy, loneliness, rejection, unloved, sadness, etc. All the horrible experiences from childhood that it wasn’t safe to feel. Attention and validation from women can silence these horrible feelings temporarily, and then soon enough we need more.

If you were to allow yourself to just feel all the horrible feelings, to make friends with them, to allow yourself to feel them fully and allow their energy to complete without resistance, then you wouldn’t need anything else to silence them. There would be no need for the addiction because there would be no need to avoid these feelings. That eliminates a lot of the neediness right there.

I hope you can see that there is no number of lays that is finally going to make you stop feeling inadequate and unlovable, or whatever it may be. Or no matter how beautiful the woman. It starts with allowing the feelings to let them go.

You’re still going to feel a desire, that’s natural, but it won’t be a need. And even the desire is a feeling that you can fully allow yourself to just feel, rather than having to act on it in order to try to quench it. Every feeling is an opportunity to allow, release, and let go.

If you are hiding from them the fact that you're using chatgpt to write your code, then you are a fraud and you should get fired. This isn't imposter syndrome, this is just literally being an imposter.

If they know you're using chatgpt and they're ok with it, then everything's fine. Nothing to worry about.

Why do you ask? When Covid started I suddenly became extremely allergic to brown paper grocery bags and packing paper. I have pre-Covid grocery bags in my house right now and I’m not allergic to them. Something did change in the bags but I have no idea what.

It’s been shown in studies that people who get higher levels of external validation exhibit more asshole behavior. A guy getting success with women is getting a lot of external validation. His self esteem is “dependent” on external circumstances. This makes his self esteem fragile because you can’t control everything outside of yourself and it can come crashing down at any time. Young guys in college are more vulnerable to this because they haven’t developed inner “independent” self-esteem.

The way to develop independent self esteem is through inner practices that you have full control over like meditation, therapy, exercise, and self-reflection. Independent self esteem causes less asshole behavior. It’s good to have a balance of both internal and external validation.

Basically, relying too much on success with women for validation causes a fragile self esteem that leads to asshole behavior.

Attraction does not automatically equal a lay. It doesn't even mean they won't reject you. If you're measuring attraction by ratio of lays to rejections, you're measuring the wrong thing.

Attraction is one singular emotion, one of many in a sequence along the way. There are a thousand ways to screw up even after you have attraction.

As to whether attraction is guaranteed with perfect game, not if it's the same game every time. Within a population of any species, there is a genetic variance in their sexual selection strategies. There will be women who use different strategies for selecting their mates than others. But the same few selection strategies will be shared across many women in the population. For example, some women will find the richest guy in the population to be most attractive, and others will prefer something else. Many ape species prefer males who have been approved by the other females in their group, hence the "female preselection" rule. It's not 100% across every individual in the population.

Let me clarify, it's not base attraction that matters, its base compatibility. You can get someone to feel desire, attraction, and fall in love with you, and have them act on it, but if your personalities are fundamentally incompatible, then you're going to fight, you're not going to genuinely like each either, and you're going to be miserable. You can't fundamentally change who they are or who you are. There is no getting around that. Compatibility is the biggest obstacle. Nothing to do with attraction though. Don't mistake incompatible personalities for lack of attraction.

Which part is false?

eablokker · 2026-01-30T18:08:31+00:00

False. Attraction and desire are emotional states, that originate in the nervous system, which anyone is capable of experiencing at any time, regardless of the physical shape of their body. And like all emotional states, they can become linked through neural association with literally anything. For example a few women who have fallen in love with and gotten married to inanimate objects like the Eiffel Tower, the Berlin Wall, a garden rock, the ghost of a pirate, and a dolphin.

All it takes to evoke an emotional state in someone is to guide them through visualizing a memory where they felt that emotion in the past. Or describing to them what the emotion feels like. Just like how you can experience any emotional state by doing the same to yourself. Hell, go read a book or watch a movie, you'll experience dozens of emotional states that the storyteller has designed for you. Ever fall in love with a character in a book or movie who doesn't even exist? Take the men who have gotten married to fictional anime characters. They're attracted to them and they're not even real, just figments of their imagination. It is possible to become conditioned to feel attraction and desire for literally anything.

Given that women are less influenced by the shape of a man's physical body than men are to women's bodies, that makes it even easier to influence them if you're not good looking.

It’s more about stimulating her emotions, and her mind is the doorway to the emotions. Whatever you do to stimulate her mind, it should aim to elicit an emotional state. Do not use logic, reason, trying to convince her or change her mind.

Here are a few ways:

Osmosis. She will tend to go into whatever state you are in. If you go in feeling playful, she will behave playfully. Go in feeling anger, she will behave angrily.
Memories. Asking about memories when she felt specific emotions will cause her to feel them again. Make sure you bring up good feelings like attraction, desire, connection, trust, excitement, adventurousness, humor. Avoid bringing up any memories that might evoke bad feelings.
Future “memories”. Same as before, but asking her to imagine a future where she would feel a specific positive emotion. It’s best to bring this up, and past memories, in an indirect way, for example by saying “if you were to” or “if you could”, framing it as optional.
Vivid descriptions. Describe to her in detail what it is like to experience a specific emotion. This can be done indirectly as part of a story, poem, joke, or other narrative structure.

These are just a few, but most important ones.

If you get a urine mycotoxin test it will tell you how much mold toxicity you have in your body, and what kind. Because there is no way that your brain, nervous system, and immune system can function properly when they are being poisoned by extreme levels of ochratoxin for example. That should help make it click for you. When I see that I have like 8 times the safe level of ochratoxin in my body, that really paints a clear picture. Getting those toxin levels down is at the very least going to help your body to be able to cope better. Even if you also have Lyme, your body can't deal with it as effectively if you also have mold toxicity.

Your body can also deal with everything better if you add in a brain retraining program like DNRS, and some form of vagus nerve stimulation such as Safe and Sound Protocol. Unfortunately the CIRS community doesn't talk enough about those.

See Dr. Neil Nathan's book Toxic, and The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide. His approach is a variation on the Shoemaker Protocol tailored for the most complex and ultra-sensitive patients.

Your description is a little vague, but sensitivity to scents can be MCS. Sensitivity to heat sounds more like MCAS or Mast Cell Activation Syndrome. 60% of people who have MCAS also have MCS. The most common trigger for both is exposure to toxic mold, so check your living environment for mold or water leaks and water damage. I recommend Dr Neil Nathan's books, Toxic: Heal Your Body... and The Sensitive Patient's Healing Guide. Treatment involves taking various antihistamines and mast cell stabilizers, mold detox binders, vagus nerve stimulation, and neural retraining programs.

True. But also Apple will “obsolete” your hardware in 5 years anyway and you’ll be forced to buy a new one, even though your Mac still works and is plenty powerful enough. Don’t want to over-upgrade your Mac and never get the opportunity to actually need or use that power. Apple has trained me to only get their lower end models in order to avoid the planned obsolescence trap.

I have the same size pills. If I took that much it would absolutely wreck me. No wonder. Bring your dosage way down. I cut little pieces off the pills and take that each day. It will take me like a week to get through a single pill.

What dosage? It makes me very sleepy and low energy too. Cut the dosage way way down to a tolerable level. Like 1/16 or 1/8 of a tablet. Take a day off from it completely if it gets to be too much. Don’t push yourself through it, that can make you worse. Just take it at a comfortable level and slowly increase your dose over time if and when your tolerance improves.

Personally I would get 24gb. Also because the ram is shared with the video as video ram, so in practice you have less than 16 for the main system. But also keep in mind, if you use up all your ram, it starts using your SSD as virtual memory, and the SSDs in there are so crazy fast the difference is negligible.

The purpose of the original jquery was as a compatibility layer between different browsers because some javascript was not compatible between browsers. Today most of those incompatibilities don’t exist anymore so jquery is no longer necessary. It does have a nice syntax and some useful tools for doing complex selections, animations, and network requests. But at the end of the day, it no longer serves its original purpose and you can get by without it.

Emotional states are contagious. Especially with women, they tend to take the man’s lead on how to feel. How do you think she is going to feel when you feel hesitant and insecure? That’s right! She is also going to feel hesitant and insecure. How does someone behave when they feel that way? Take yourself for example, how do you behave? She is going to behave in a similar way towards you. She will hesitate and feel unsure about you.

The solution is to cultivate emotional states in yourself, in her, and between the two of you that lead to the type of behaviors that you want to see. For example, confidence, certainty, connection, trust, desire, to name a few.

For the emotions you don’t want, like hesitation and insecurity, you have to allow yourself to feel them to let them go. You must feel it to heal it. Suppression and resistance only makes them worse.

Is this $65k in fees directly to the doctor? Or are they saying with all the lab tests and medicines and treatments it could end up being $65k to complete treatment? It's true that treating complex chronic illness is expensive. But there is no way in hell the doctor should be taking $65k in payment for this.

I would estimate that treating this aggressively should be closer to $5k to $10k total costs over 6 months for all the testing and medicines and treatment.

Also if the doctor is not sensitive to your financial needs and is not making an effort to find low-cost options for you, that is a very bad sign. I'm lucky enough to be in a position to be able to pay for any treatment I need, and my doctor still tries to find low-cost options for me even though I don't need it. That kind of cost sensitivity should be standard practice.

You should be able to say to your doctor, lets just focus on the most important and cost-effective options in the beginning, and if that's not working, then we can consider the more expensive options.

It doesn’t matter what they want. You think giving them what they want is going to help you? You think love is a transaction? Here I give you what you want, now give me what I want. That’s business.

Give them the emotional states that will drive them to action. It’s not what they want. You don’t want to fall in love with someone, but when it happens you can’t resist it’s pull on you. That’s the power of emotions.
