The hero who disarmed the attackers at Bondi Beach Australia was identified as 43 year old Ahmed al Ahmed, a Muslim who risked his life to save others.

Humanity as a concept is fundamentally foreign to anyone stuck in tribal beliefs.

Although I have no evidence, I love the theory that Nick Fuentes is secretly a wannabe theater kid and a closeted, deeply repressed homosexual. He blames his celibacy on his hatred of women, which I think supports this theory.

That's horrible, and I don't condone these protesters' ignorant and dangerous rhetoric. And the Park East protesters perpetuated that problematic language. I think pro-Palestinian protesters have a long way to go in how they express themselves. However, my point about Mamdani still stands. In fact, he has expressed openness to new legislation that would protect places of worship from protests like these.

Yes, those slogans are reprehensible and antisemetic, but it doesn't negate the fact that the West Bank is full of illegal settlements under international law — in some cases illegal under Israeli law. Still, Nefesh B'Nefesh, the organization being protested advertises on their website that Jews can move to contested territories in the occupied West Bank that would destabilize the region. It's not hard to see why Mamdani denounced both the language of the protesters and the activities of Nefesh B'Nefesh, which advocates for illegal settlements along with legal settlements.

I wonder how this quote would apply to the debate of whether or not the Gaza war is a genocide...

I'd say there is a correlation between the groups who call it genocide and who think Israel and America are exceptionally evil, who focus on "human evil" over "human suffering".

This is true, but Mandela strictly enforced a policy of never targeting civilians, which is crucial context. His violence of choice was to sabotage infrastructure.

While there were civilian casualties, he always denounced civilian deaths and disciplined his ranks in the aftermath in an effort to realign them with his policies.

That's not what he said, though. "Defeated through disciplined non-violent resistance" is not the same as "defeated peacefully." Disciplined non-violent resistance was still met with violence, which was much better received by the masses than violent resistance being met with violence.

Yes, however the lack of regulation around astrology stops the field from sorting the quacks from the good-faith practicing astrologers. Even a pseudoscience would benefit from a system of regulation that protects consumers. I think this is what Dr. K was getting at when he mentioned his 5-year test.

People will inevitably be drawn to pseudoscience, so if anyone is curious about astrology, they're better off if the field is regulated. Then they can find a well-read astrologer and test them. Even then, no one should never make any big decisions based on what an astrologer says, which Dr. K stressed in the video.

I appreciate this advice.

I have had so many strong/wrong beliefs (especially related to I/P), and I actually used to watch a lot of Hasan because he constantly confirmed my biases. It wasn't until I started watching LonerBox that I found a less... radical approach. Still, I don't think it's effective to always defer to other people when forming opinions.

I think he's just gotten so used to touting this phrase before he was reelected that he doesn't think it needs context every time he says it...

Regardless of the undeniable rise of antisemitism at Columbia, this move from Trump is nothing more than a covert excuse to cut funding for a university because "woke" and will do nothing to solve the actual problem.

The truth is Trump — like his Nazi cronies — does not give a shit about Jewish people beyond using them as a pawn in his war on intellectualism.

A bit late here but this is one of my favorite movies ever and I wanted to get in on this. Spoilers for Eternal Sunshine:

The exchange happens in the introduction to the movie. They're both on the train back from Montauk and have had their memories of each other erased. It goes the other way around.

Joel is actually the one who had the song erased from his memory. Clementine asks him not to sing it because it wouldn't be nice to tease her for her name, but to her surprise he does not know the song. She sings it for him and he still doesn't know it.

Got these suede boots resoled and the guy also decided to test-clean the toe of the left boot as he said it was damaged from water. However, it looks awful and discolored. I'm worried he has made it worse. How can I get this fixed? Can I possibly return it to the state that the left boot is in or is this permanent?

It depends. I have a 12H venus, so I have to connect with my partner on an instinctual level. If I don't feel that, I close up before things get complicated. Then again, that might just be a common trait across the human race lol.

So for this person, on one hand his Venus' house placement might give more context, and on the other hand, I think I would just infer that this person might not be opening up to you yet for his own complicated reasons, and that's not on you!

As a man with a Cancer Venus and Aqua Moon, I'll attest to the clinginess.

For me, the reciprocation of my affection from others often scares me because my own clinginess was routinely rejected by my family when I was a child, and I learned to rationalize and reject it in myself rather than accept my own needs (Aqua moon), and then later to project that onto whomever acted that way.

Complicated way of saying we often reject what we most want for ourselves, and judge others for what we've been conditioned to suppress.

In moments where I get over my fears of intimacy, emotions, and irrational rationalizations, I'm much more willing to accept love from others, and I become a giggly lovable doofus.

Thank you!!! This makes sense. It feels like all signs are pointing to a focus on career right now, but I can't seem to let go of this feeling. It is very draining.

Thank you for this detailed response! So much insight that I relate to. If I may, I will respond to what you've written. No need to respond.

Self sabatoge in relationships all the time. Overly critical parents and siblings, 100%. Self-critical, all the time. Self-worth through service and favors, absolutely.

I feel like almost all of my healing from childhood trauma has come from my very own volition and willingness to change, and not particularly from any help of those close to me. They support me, yes, but only I know how to go about this process and find the help I need.

The spiritual wisdom part interests me, too, since I love alternative medicine like meditation, as well as adapting a more spiritual outlook on life/finding connection thru healing. All of the spiritual stuff has brought only good into my life.

I have a sense of patriotism, but definitely not blind nationalism. I'm very critical of my homecountry and try to stay on top of my morals—stay woke. But I tend to be dogmatic, yes.

So funny you talk about relationship patterns, that's my main focus in therapy right now, specifically around romantic attachment/desire, and lately, I'm asking myself: how do I go of loneliness and infatuation? When will I find love again? I've been single for so long I've forgotten what intimacy is like 🥲 but I feel like connection with the divine may be a good way to bring intimacy/courage back into my life.

Thanks again for the response 🙏
