Wanna know why downvotes? I asked a pretty simple goddamned question. I got a screen full of propagandist poster drivel.

How exactly are we defining extortion, again?

Pimp game. Make them need you and they'll do what they have to, in order to keep you around. Instead of having them turn tricks, set the boundary at virtue and reason.

I keep seeing these Chris Kyle VS THe Dentist memes on Facebook that put across a pretty interesting point. Soemthing like hunts and kills 160 humans = hero. Hunts and kills 1 lion=crucified. Just doesn't really matter in the grand scheme of things. If you want to save big cats, donate your money and time to a sanctuary. There are a good number of them. Otherwise, shut the fuck up and respect others' private property, or go after the government who failed to protect what it claims it was taking(literally, taking) money to protect. As for the dentist, well, odds are he's an asshole and not somebody I'd ever want to associate with personally. But if he goes out of business and whatnot, I hope the hypocrites who are only now upset remember to hand their next dentist a written affadavit to be notarized before they accept his services stating he's not a wild game hunter(or 'homophobe' or watches tranny porn or what the fuck ever the new sensation these morons want to pretend to be pissed about happens to be that week).

Before I get into any debate or concern over whether something is or isn't, I first ask "Is the state pushing it?" If the answer is yes, I'm immediately on red alert. And they are pushing the gay thing. That makes it suspect and before anyone wants to talk to me about what it is, they need to tell me why and with what end the state thinks gays need more 'rights' or preferential treatment. As far as I can tell, best case, it's a distraction from something that actually matters. Worst case, and usually the case, they're fucking up society and civilization to keep the cattle in the pen.

Anytime this "unconditional love" shit comes up, I sound the alarms. Sounds a lot like don't judge me or accept me the way I am.

Fortunately at my job, they often do the bring the kids to the office thing on Fridays, but I never witness anything bad. Except of course that they brought them to an engineering office... A special kind of hell for a child, I'd imagine. But I feel you. I see it when I get home. I live in a large, apartment complex with pretty open common areas. Only those with kids seem like the assholes.

Well, OK. But that's not a criticism of the free market, at all. It's criticism of a behavior. Are there currently laws against doing it? I don't get it...

It's a long, hard road but the good news is: You're in the right place. What a philosopher will call a reason or contributing factor, a drug dealer will call symptoms. For me, at least, I first found solace in knowing that perhaps I belonged to a group of similarly diagnosed damaged people. "The easy way out". Not my fault, I'm ill or damaged or whatever. But then playing victim is exhausting in itself and it's just plain not true so that's not conducive to a fulfilling life. Then, finding the truth and examining my past and the leading conditions for my behavior, thoughts and feelings led me here. Here, being Freedomain and with it a better understanding of the whole mess. With an empathetic group structure, or at the very least, people with similar feelings to relate to. Obviously, brain damage exists. And dopamine levels(amongst other chemicals and brain activity) drop more, aren't produced as much in certain people. But then it just comes down to do you want to paint over that with mind altering chemicals that will harm you, or can you keep it together long enough to pinpoint the problems, fix them, and then start to progress? Studies exist, and as evidenced above, the real hard evidence linking the brain scans is the shakiest part. The meat of the similarities lies in behavior. Which is to say, circumstantial. Or non-existent if you just want to cut the shit. The big monkey in this wrench is: http://www.theatlantic.com/health/archive/2014/01/life-as-a-nonviolent-psychopath/282271/ So, this brainscan stuff regarding behavior is just too shaky at this point in science to really work. I'd urge you to call Stefan, honestly, if you haven't already, and most urgently if you don't have anyone to talk to about all this.

E=/=mc²... Great. So now instead of exercise and eating right we gotta re-engineer a fucking nuclear bomb. Is the person you're taking advice from fat? Yes. Talk to someone else. Is this person in good shape? Yes. Great, listen to them. Fuck. No wonder nerds don't work out! And God forbid they get a look at the pulley systems on a nautilus.

http://greatist.com/health/exercise-weight-loss-071213 2.5 hours a week can only be considered sufficient in TV & Smartphone-Land. My, I'm exercising but it's not doing it! Yeah, walking on a fucking treadmill for three hours isn't really exercise. http://www.hsph.harvard.edu/obesity-prevention-source/obesity-causes/physical-activity-and-obesity/ Whole hell of a lot less activity through the decades. And centuries: http://www.outsideonline.com/1923776/how-far-fitness-has-fallen

I lost a little something after knowing that guy exists. But I see this shit everywhere. Maybe 1/10 couples aren't these scared, whipped little bitches of a boyfriend and a queen whore of a girlfriend. Sometimes I just want to go and give these puppies a hug, but they made their own beds.

Something I've always reacted to in similar situations, is that with a negative outlook on the future, I'm always saddened when anyone who is competent or exemplary in their field dies, or loses their company, whatever causes them to stop doing what they do. This, was one of the most profound points in Atlas Shrugged, for me. It's very, very difficult to accept that the best cars, books, movies, clothes(videogames) have already been made. Regardless of whether or not it's true, and probably isn't, I don't think I'm alone in feeling this dread, and I've discussed it with people in my life. They agreed and kind of fell silent afterward. It's probably reflective of such an unstable and volatile present to have such an emotional attachment to the past. For example, I'm into car so when the F-Type came out, I finally thought... OK, they can still do really cool things, despite the (safety, MPG, emissions, arbitrary alphabet soup dictat)regulation, anti-car sentiment and public's total lack of excitement for actually, really driving . Then they announced a 6-Speed? Fuck yes. I'm getting it. In a sea of bland and beige mediocrity, the exceptional shine that much brighter through the fog. Yeah, yeah, Porsche. But they've been doing the same shit, same designs, same engine for soooo long it's not something new. It's just still doing what's good. Great, good for them, but it's not quite the milestone. However, the day they announce they're in the red, bleeding profits, and shutting the doors, the spigot's going full blast. And that's just the companies that I'm talking about. Not even the people associated with building them. Or it could be less dramatic. Just a change in the times, end of an era type of deal. We're not doing that anymore, now we're going to have to come up with something new.

Yeah, I did. Freedom isn't a fetish, and only indivudals can act. In fact, the whole post is just some rant about god knows what. It doesn't address anything in the topic, I can find.

I always found good results going through 'popworkouts.com' and the like. Routines that have a proven and observable record, on celebrities. Or even just to pick things from fit people's routines. Like Bruce Lee got mad forearms lats, The Rock is big, etc. And they're usually more structured than a lot of what's out there coming direct from trainers and fitness professionals because they just have to work, now.

So, is NASCAR a death race? Excessive speed, too fast, these terms mean nothing without context. A Ferrari on the highway alone at night can max with a good driver, with no harm. The same car, same speeds, with a 16 year old behind the wheel will be much more likely to crash. A 1995 Accord with bald tires on a city street with some bends and a median trying to max... Very likely to crash. They're inexperienced, lack judgment and guidance, and probably drive shitty cars with poor maintenance. The ever increasing push toward luxury and drivable appliances amplifies ones' confidence and inhibits their ability to enhance their driving skill. Someone who can deadlift 150lbs, trying to deadlift 280lbs doesn't secretly want to break their spine, they're just an idiot.

Thought I'd put this here. Ive been listening to certain music lately. For whatever reasons, they've been resonating with me of late. New city, new place, new job, without the familiarity of friends, and all the old places. So, I've been reflecting a lot. Trying to find some presence, and unfortunately, not succeeding. I can only expect so much and with all this taking place, I'm OK with surviving for now. Regardless, that's the back story if anyone cares or needs a reason to read my post. Some more 90s and one 80's song that are awfully real in my life. offspring was already mentioned, but this one hits me harder. And then Jim Carroll, it's got a more upbeat tune but the material is deep. Then Social Distortion. Anything Mike Ness means a lot to me. For a lot of reasons I can't explain and don't really need to, in addition to the ones I can point out, his music has been extremely important to me. Social D is great, but even the honky-tonk oriented solo stuff is awesome to me. Just the man's whole musical career is like its own growing organism. If I have a long drive, I can put it on, and get angst, pain, regret, empathy, fun and redemption. It's all there. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VrZ4sMRYimw

The side of cougars they don't tell you about. I found out the hard way. Like 6 times. I need a woman my own age...

Those are some good examples. I'll check them out. Unfortunately, Utah is a state I've driven in and spent most of my time watching empty intersections because of a light. Provo was the worst. Edit: Sorry, Redwood is the joke joke with lights every 2 miles and a ridiculously low speed limit, considering its light crowd and is it 3 or 4 lanes in each direction? Bangerter is still inexplicably slow and lights suck. They claim to have it timed, but again, if they're timed based on arbitrarily slow speeds, it's a wash. Engineering doesn't matter. The laws are the laws. If the empiricism says no speed limit, the law says nope. That is not free, it's conditional. Every time.

Great, can you show me where the better ideas are being implemented? To my understanding, there isn't anywhere left where speed limits aren't being set by the average speed, at least in the US, for starters. And roundabouts are still all but a myth. Every time a new city tries simply timing up the traffic lights, it makes news. And I don't accept your definition of free market. It goes through the state? That's just the opposite of free, but whatever. If you can show me where the good stuff is happening, I'll go check it out.

OH? I missed that mention in my AAA about where roads are being built free of arbitrary edict from state, municipal and county code. Where is it? I'm getting a new F-Type soon, that sounds like the place to be.

Traffic lights are the reason large swaths of cars hit the on-ramp all at the same time in the first place. And there exists studies that show their ineffectiveness. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lwHfibl1AoI https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1Ap2G1Bfm0M https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8Q5Nur642BU

Just wanted to give you some respect for going through with the message, trying to get through to these kids, you're siblings. I was in a similar situation recently, where it was my mom using my niece to get me to re-initiate contact. And naturally, my niece was relaying everything I told her to my mom. I took the stance that she's fucked and I can't do anything until she's away from that toxic environment, and turning her against my mom would just make life more miserable for her. Nathan touched on that. And I know how nasty my mom can get, particularly with girls and my niece is shy, reserved, quiet. I fear for what kind of adult she'll become. It was tough for me and I was basically bred and challenged from day one to take on hardship. I'm actually curious to how all this turns out for you. Maybe I can learn something from it. I don't like the ignore it, hope it gets better approach(which I'm basically taking). Something random, perhaps related, perhaps just stupid shit running through my head, but it just popped up as I was thinking about this, so it could be important. From the Green Mile. It was John Coffey said "He killed them with their love. That's how it is every day, all over the world".

I'd say no. It's the same with almost all traffic enforcement. How stopping everyone promotes free-flow of traffic is a purely statist invention. You gotta be fucked up to buy that shit. When the majority of people learn how to keep right, except to pass, I'll take traffic laws seriously. But until then, the state punishes efficiency and encourages congestion, which leads to accidents, and wasted energy, effects on the environment. Even moving the goddamned HOV/Carpool lane(that's, the slowest cars on the road:biggest, most burdened with passenger load, least HP and most amount of stops. Trucks excluded obviously, but hey! Those motherfuckers keep right!) where it's supposed to be which is not the passing lane, would convince me to at least entertain statist driving habits. But you gotta crawl before you can walk and right now, they're still sucking tit.
