    Quote Posted by Mike (here)
    Do women frequently get raped while walking to their car as they're leaving this pub you go to?
    Never.

    A gal was roofied 2 weeks ago. Oddly enough 2 male friends of mine were roofied by girls. Nothing happened really, I suspect they were just evil humans who thought it'd be funny. However you don't have to do a deep dive to find rapes or attempted rapes around the bars where I live. I know of 2 off the top of my head in the past couple years. Maybe not frequent but I think women should take precautions. A gal I know was almost pulled into a car by a stranger in broad daylight at a gas station and she got away solely cause she carried a knife. Now she carries a .38 because of this.

    They feel more comfortable being walked to their car. Maybe I should use the term harassed? And why do they go to these locations? Maybe there is no difference because it's such a prevalent problem and it doesn't matter where they go. Rape culture is a weird thing to talk about but I think in general I agree with you. However I don't see an issue with bringing awareness to an unsavoury aspect of our society and working on it.

    Did you see the Crowder change my mind on rape culture? I generally agree with everything he said. The white knight 'woke' college boy was a real douche bag.

    I suppose we just see this matter a bit differently. All good though.
    Today is victory over yourself of yesterday. Tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.

    Upcoming free-for-all neurodynamic breathwork sessions:

    Sat, Jan 30th 4:00pm - 6:00pm US Pacific Time (PDT) - Free Breathwork Session for everybody. Worldwide sharing group after

    Sun, Jan 31st 10:00am - noon US Pacific Time (PDT) - Free Breathwork Session for everybody. Worldwide sharing group after

    No coupon codes necessary to register.

    Try it; read this before you enter.




    PS:
    Even after doing this dozens of times, the reachable experiences and states are totally unpredictable;
    I can only say that these are not accessible "normally".
    And breathwork is way safer than taking drugs, because you are in charge at all times.
    I recommend this highly for people who tried but could never really meditate.
    You might be in for a surprise.

    large short squeeze about to happen for Game Stop (GME)

    If you buy shares below $200 it's a great investment.... the stock went up around 90% today... I expect more through friday


    The whole situation is like david and goliath... it's been fascinating to follow.

    This is a once in a life time opportunity ... I don't think I'll ever see anything like this again.

    if you can, I'd suggest jumping in on this before Thursday and riding out until at least Monday.

    Large corporations bet billions of dollars that a company would fail, the US population is saying "nah".... and we will profit hugely off this short squeeze.




    The real story here is established money vrs everyone else... they don't get to pick which company to destroy and profit off of... this is an awesome thing to witness once you understand it,,,, the little guy winning is often very dramatic due to the power imbalance.

    GME hit 365 over night, thy are desperately trying to get below 115 with huge volume sales.. the stock dipped all the way to 190 and is now back to 230 and climbing (My first sale spot will be around 800/share).

    This may make me a millionaire, or at least very comfortable.



    Once in a life time opportunity here! hope you can get in!!

    @TargetT, thanks for the stock tip. Got in this morning at $250 and just sold for $350, for a profit of $4000 (40 shares). I hope it gets to 800 for you.
    Before you speak, ask yourself, is it kind, is it necessary, is it true, does it improve on the silence?

    Unrelated to previous posts in this thread, somewhat venting: I sometimes have to damn near sit on my hands to stop myself from posting in threads where my comments would do nothing but stir up trouble. I feel like a kid who sees a big red button that specifically says, "Don't Push." I really, really wanna smack it.
    Today is victory over yourself of yesterday. Tomorrow is your victory over lesser men.
