Keep in mind time is the one resource you can't make more of when you're on a monopolized road system. Learn the philosophy of driving empathetically at epautos.com.

"I want to keep making money with my inventions" "I would suddenly become forced to do new things, to have new talents, shows that you cannot find an alternative to patents unfortunately" I'd like to get paid without working, too. Let me know what you come up with. "Even Stefan asks for money." And he continually produces something people want in order to actually get any donations. From what I can gather, you don't want to do that. You want to come up with a single idea with unlimited payment. "Ideas cannot be protected." Sure can. Keep them in your head. You want protection or you want to make money?

Built a prototype, demonstrated the capability, sold the idea to a manufacturer. Or built them myself by pitching it to investors.

I've never read anywhere that archo means structure. Can you provide a source?

You do have a legitimate reason. Yeah, lay it all out. She's not discussing anything with you now, from what I've read. She's dismissing, and deflecting. So, there's nothing to lose? But the rage and strong words aren't for her. Odds are you'll both die with her never feeling the empathy you deserve. Being able to express the rage is for your own benefit. Some people can write a letter and burn it as some "letting it go" ritual, but that's not working. She needs to learn that the result of pissing someone off, is that someone is pissed off.As for self-attacking, that goes with the embracing. There are some times to really get angry. Like when your mom tells you to be calm and controlled because you're mad about her fucking your life up.After it's come out, you can be angry in a more direct and level manner, with strong yet concise language but I see these things happen in stages. That first one is just concentrated rage in vocal format at the appropriate target. All this of course assuming you don't have any overwhelming violent tendencies. But you're feeling, she's not. The feeling has to be present and if you don't bring it to the table, how can she eat it? The (good?) thing about marijuana is that it's practically nothing. It's like 2? 3? drinks in terms of mind-alteration, maybe even less of an impact than a strong batin' sesh. If it's genuinely causing a drain, then obviously, it needs to be cut down. You already know all this and you know it's a substitute for actually feeling better. Which means you also know it's got to be something you're not doing. Like I mentioned in a thread about alcoholism, it tends to work itself out when other things get fixed. When you resolve all this, you probably won't have any desire for marijuana or drugs. I think you're OK doing what you've got to in order to get by. You've got the awareness. Be proud of that. I've seen people frozen from not being able to confront their parents. It's pretty powerful. And a big problem is being disregarded when you know damn well they got something coming. This calm shit is overrated. A girl I know was always confrontational when she was abused and now she's on her way to a better life after some help and awareness. Her brother was and is totally passive and at 8-9 years older, nowhere near as well as she is. Smokes, drinks, no ambition. Just hopeless. Pulls the 'did the best they could' schtick like, daily.

Where did I say I don't think you are angry? I said you don't want to get pissed. In that thread, you said something to the effect of having to approach your parents in a calm manner("I just need to be able to talk calmly about things that piss me off and she makes it kinda tough.")... Why? Anger manifests itself in behavior in a pretty obvious way. Embrace that. Express your frustration and anger by acting frustrated and angry. Again from that thread, it sounds like you choose avoidance and procrastination which leads, rather predictably, to more anger and frustration. They get to calmly abuse you, and fuck with your brain chemically which elicits all kinds of rage from you, but you're just going to let them get away with it by granting them immunity from the consequences of their action. Specifically, your anger. But it sounds from this thread, you like the drug idea, believe it will help and that's more important than anything else. Go for it. Try weed. But I'm skeptical.

Judging by these symptoms:https://board.freedomainradio.com/topic/41375-struggling-with-remaining-present-in-day-to-day-life/You don't need drugs. There's a bunch of unresolved shit, and it sounds like you don't want to get pissed. Fix the problem before you start looking for new ones.

So, I guess this is just a dogma thread now? Agree with the UN, admit you're a rapist, and murderer, and let's end it at that.I found an interesting counter point, from a similar type of person to the speaker in the OP. Feminist, liberal, emotion based argument type. But this one was actually forced to learn something about the topic due to health.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WemanmrAYvg

I don't know where you got your numbers, for starters. So, don't think I even accept them. Second, how do you know that pasture land is suitable for agriculture? Agriculture, of course, that kills bacteria, animals, bugs, plants, and destroys soil. Then of course, mass agricultural practices cause events like "dust bowls" and rely on weather patterns and droughts not happening.(see Kern County) http://www.udel.edu/chem/C465/senior/fall00/Meat/environment.html I haven't vetted this, but I'm not yet ready to make argument one way or another. So, grain of salt. Still gathering.I'm not going to take a baseless number as a substitute for empiricism, however.

Really? I'm pretty sure actual vegetable crops are harder to grow than grass or corn. Especially with any hope of maintaining soil nutrition and harvest quality. And I don't think you can grow many oranges in Kansas...

If meat were replaced with plant material in just say, the diets of people in the US, how much more agricultural land would be needed? Is that something that can be calculated?

The big bang theory! Playing to the Gen Y-ers. Smart move, government. Blow shit up, and watch life flourish, right?

I'm going. Paid for my tickets last week.

"What if the reception is cold?"It's OK, you've got already got another show tomorrow. Pre-booking alleviates the need to continually be accepted today. Besides, you're not playing for the people who think you suck. You're playing for the people who like it and/or want to hear something new, and real. "Doesn't the world have enough music?"Fuck no. Does the Ozone have enough breathable air? Are there enough pleasant sounds in the world? Of course not! Never."Why would anyone care?" Don't worry about anyone, just the right ones. "Isn't it a selfish thing to do?" I sure goddamned well hope so! You aren't doing what you want to and you're miserable. So, stop doing that.I mean, I'm no guru, Buddha, master philosophiser but I produce oil, and then pretty much suck at everything. It takes like years and years to get good at anything and then I just do it because there's nothing else to do. So, for you to have this ability is like a kick in the balls to me and every other no-hope asshole who goes and programs ladder logic and "designs" control panels, other bullshit like that to say, "Yeah, I do want to do all this creative, fun stuff I'm really passionate about, and I'm pretty good at it, but no thanks. It's easier to stay put." Nope, fuck that. I do all this narcoleptic garbage, to pull oil out of the ground so people like you can fly and drive around doing something meaningful with my gas.

For serious. I'm listening to the whole playlist now at work. What are you doing on this site? Go tour coffee shops and stuff. I could get you booked at like 5 places, this week, in fucking Bakersfield. Interact, engage. If you're not already. Even if you have to go solo, fuck it. You can't do something that well, and say it just doesn't work anymore. I don't buy it. It has to be something else that got boring.

I stopped. Knowing why was the biggest part of quitting, that it was a replacement for actual fulfillment. Once I realized why I figured out that I didn't need to, and as a result, did not want to. It was a financial and time drain that I was only doing because I wouldn't deal with other shit. So, I dealt with that instead. And in choosing to be present absolutely in my own life, it was necessary to cut it out completely. Don't miss it.

Yeah, I don't disagree. I am starting to feel like I'm falling back off the wagon. No support structure whatever. I still think the odds where 50% of 5 million are better than 50% of 350,000 but who knows? I certainly need to get back in touch with my principles.As for online dating, my results are far worse than meeting women at the coffee shop. Another venue is the "Cars and Coffee" if you're into cars. Or coffee? It's a new crowd regardless. I know they're big in California, but they're all over. Or if you don't have one local, start it up. My buddy did around here, and at the moment, only has a leased Passat.

I've been thinking about this and realized it doesn't make a difference. I need to find a new town. The odds are just too low in a city with a few number ones such as: High School Dropout rate(not altogether bad but certainly signals a larger problem, such as...) Teen PregnancyIlliteracy Most drunk, according to Men's Health magazineand a nice bonus - Worst Air Quality! It's futile to even pretend there's any chance of finding a decent woman here. I might just be making excuses but the fact that I am having such a hard time only reinforces the notion that I need to make a big change to help myself out. Which kind of goes with the original thread topic. All the questions in the world won't work if you continually ask the wrong people.

Had a talk with my therapist today. We talked on this topic and she made a point that it was more important to her that her husband was able to have fun and loosen up before she opened up and got into the deeper emotional questions. And, that most people have to get comfortable with you before they open up about ^ these sort of topics. She suggested that I might try to go have a good time, and let things progress, or not, naturally. I'm a little torn. It's not as if I show up to dates, and put on my gray, interviewer costume. I can get some laughs, talk about some less important things, but I also don't spend a lot of time on the weather and sports and junk. I look not so much for a complete person, which is to say, someone already having gone through the self actualization, who has confronted their problems. But more for someone willing to, and capable of progressing. But, honestly, it's got me really turned around. My therapist also mentioned that it takes most people who go to therapy 6 months or so and won't open up like myself(and probably most people on this board) can immediately. So, is coming at it guns blazing, wide open throttle, a good way to find a life partner? Or is more patience needed?

I thought we were playing the make assumptions about how the other person thinks game. My mistake.

OK.

Reposted this video on my facebook, got one person to block me. I even added an inspirational message, complete with Ayn Rand quote to reinforce my thoughts.

Throw it all out the window. I recently had 2 separate dates, 2 different women, answered 95% "correct" and never heard from either one again. Another girl was walled off a bit, had a questionable past, and is rather religious... Going to see her for a 3rd date. My thoughts on the matter are pay attention to the "here and now" and work on the rest as it develops. Sorry, if that doesn't answer the question. I make sure and ask about previous relationships, what they want from their partner or what they want from dating. One that I love to ask is: "If you could do anything with yourself, as a profession, regardless of pay, what would it be?" And follow with asking who else they've shared that with. This is one the first girl got stuck on. She said she hadn't told her mom, and her mom wanted her to do the college, masters, etc, etc. route. Oh, but she's supportive when she really knows I'm serious about something! Hence, telling some guy you've known 20 minutes before her...

Well, first I'm glad to see that you found a way to get your words out on here. Hopefully your own account will be approved soon.( I answered you on facebook about it)And secondly, that's just all kinds of horrific. I have a friend who was bulimic and went to therapy. Changed over night. Not a complete reversal, but after the first visit, I thought I was talking to a completely different person. So, that's my endorsement of that. She has a similar background to yours. Are you planning to call in to the podcast?
