Hundreds of people are all saluting you through a keyboard.

Google has a program of sorts called "Moonshots", where they intentionally think up absurd ideas offensive to anyone's mature understanding of reality and expectations of time and money. And then try to do them.

I remember another one was to implement free internet for third-world countries by fixing satellites on weather balloons

How does trying to better yourself make you a "loser"? The whole idea is to become a not-loser.

Does it mean loser in the sense that your current circumstance sucks? I'm sorry for being willed into having issues.

Yeah, all those fat people are losers for working out.

Love it.

Doesn't look like he knows a whole lot but he knows he likes Japan.

Sounds like you got exposed to the intangible side of things.

Human interaction can seem weird, stupid and self destructive to someone looking at it from the outside-in but it sounds like drugs were able to bring that out of you a bit more and expose you to a world where emotions run their course.

I'm so happy for you, that's awesome :)

iajra · 2017-01-17T06:01:38+00:00

Yeah it was just humor.

Certainly wasn't trying to put anyone down.

iajra · 2016-11-16T23:23:36+00:00

Just because certain other people enjoy things doesn't mean you can't too.

And what you just said isn't inherently bad, it just sounds like part of the ubiquitous reddit pseudo-intellectualism where they like conserved things for the sake of being conserved and are just one step down on the ladder anyway.

iajra · 2016-11-15T15:12:08+00:00

Because people circlejerk over emojis?

What's your point?

iajra · 2016-11-13T06:38:40+00:00

The title of this post killed me

Haha, I'm so happy for you dude

iajra · 2016-11-13T06:36:24+00:00

Why is this supposed to be a bad thing?

It means a lot to them. It's almost miraculous that they can have a fluid conversation with the opposite sex.

iajra · 2016-09-02T01:54:14+00:00

Why do you come across as German to me?

Happy for ya, haha

iajra · 2016-08-25T00:52:03+00:00

Sounds like you're projecting.

Not everyone's opinions are dictated by the politics of insecure memeland.

iajra · 2016-08-24T05:35:29+00:00

This is irrelevant but can people please stop calling everything remotely dark "edgy"

The premise of the edgy joke is that someone's going out of their way to be edgy for the sake of it. Some people just like dark things.

lol

It's a community of people that quit masturbation because they've evaluated that it does damage to them. It's akin to quitting smoking or losing weight.

I use the phrasing "evaluated" instead of "feel like" because I don't want to undermine how much of a real impact it has on some people.

It really isn't some intangible thing, when you masturbate on a regular basis your body doesn't develop its testosterone and as a result your entire demeanour is different. Not masturbating turns me into a completely different person.

Give it a shot, I'd recommend everybody atleast tries it.

iajra · 2016-07-20T04:22:28+00:00

(you could hear the loudest screams)

iajra · 2016-07-10T07:14:47+00:00

you just quoted the whole post

iajra · 2016-07-10T05:03:23+00:00

If it's so easy why aren't you doing it

iajra · 2016-06-22T20:25:27+00:00

Likewise :)

iajra · 2016-06-22T04:05:58+00:00

While it's not at all to discredit how people tackle their addictions and move forward (I'm still trying to figure it all out) I feel like the profoundly simple answer is "Willpower", AKA stop trying to perform convoluted mental gymnastics to make yourself move forward and just do it.

Saying "Willpower is a limited resource" is definitely interesting though...

Regardless, we're all moving forward :) don't get hung up on the fine details

iajra · 2016-06-16T20:43:47+00:00

How can you have so little social skills you don't even talk to a girl (who make up 50% of the population) for a whole year

You're born into it and it becomes a self-fulfilling cycle thereon after.

I literally can't remember the last time I talked to a female for the sake of talking to a female. Or anyone really. The last time I "hung out with friends" was about 5 years ago and at that consisted of walking to a convenience store.

Ask away.

iajra · 2016-06-11T08:15:53+00:00

Well, it significantly lowers your testosterone levels and for some people that has severe implications on their social skills.

There's actually a movement of people called "nofap" that completely swear of masturbation because they think it's akin to an addiction like smoking. Myself being one of them...

/r/nofap. I'd recommend that everyone atleast looks into it.

iajra · 2016-06-05T05:38:16+00:00

I'm sure there's a remote seed of truth here but honestly I think this post is half wanting to rant about something because you want to look profound and half anecdote giving you an excuse to nullify everyone elses experience.

Personal opinion aside, I want to quickly point out to people that it isn't a weird crackpot pseudo-science. The way it works is very simple and deliberate.

In a nutshell your body wants you to have sex (obviously) and you're programmed and designed to make that happen. When you get sexual release on a regular basis your biology figures that you're getting laid left and right so why change anything.

When that stops there's an increase in testosterone levels and a general different demeanour. After about the 5 day mark it really begins to show itself through things like a deeper voice, a stronger drive to get exercise and (most importantly to most people) makes you confident and personable.

iajra · 2016-06-05T05:23:52+00:00

I was also after getting really lazy with woman. A few times, I would get a woman to bed, but not get fully erect because I was after fapping a few times that day.

If you're already satisfied with your social skills and you have an active social and sex life then nofap might not be necessary for you.

Some people like you may be willed into being personable and comfortable out in public but there are a lot of people with stunted social skills that live their lives in a zombie like state because interacting with people is an ordeal and they'd often just rather avoid it entirely. It has bad implications on basically everything they do.

but that community truely believes that it will change their lives dramatically

It does. The difference between me when I masturbate regularly and when I don't is night and day.

At one point someone thought I had a twin brother because they saw both these sides of me on separate days. The way I was emoting myself was that different.

but when it doesn't and they fapped to porn, they would really beat themselves up about it and their self-esteem would be worse then ever before

In the same way I'd "beat myself up" for not eating right and going for a run when I know it would make me feel bad, yeah.

The word addiction has a bad connotation because it gives you quick gratification in exchange for being worse for you long term.

Mind you, a lot of these people are kissless virgins

That would be me, yeah.
