I like dave green, but I felt similarly about the apparent similarities in breadtube physiognomy. I think the better indicator would be how often they pull the soy face.

I'm a thin dude to begin with. Probably could use some extra pounds. But can the fatness be mitigated with exercise?

Would SSRIs help in my situation?
I've been struggling in my job for a couple years now and it feels like it's all coming to a head. For a long time I've had a general anxiety and "head-in-the-clouds" syndrome which doesn't allow me to be fully present. I thought that maybe I'm just hopelessly mechanically uninclined. Have any of you experienced great success with meds? I'm put off by the negative experiences people can have on SSRIs. I want to free myself, not lose myself.

How would you even go about teaching this sort of reasoning?

Love in the Time of Cholera. Fiction, and art in general, is capable of articulating sentiments which do not come around often in real life. The artifice is far from "artificial" in the modern sense. So far (I'm only about 80 pages in), Marquez is saying a lot about love and its counterfeits. I'm eager to continue.

It seems to me that what Trump is doing has worked; both Panama and Canada have, for now, capitulated to his demands. In spite of all the smoke and confusion, I'm optimistic. If leftists hate Musk and Trump as much as Reddit indicates, then it's a safe bet that the Left is in for a bad time.
Please, someone check my apparent ignorance of the nuances of trade wars, and of economics more broadly. Suppose that Trump 'is successful in annexing Canada and Panama. What material benefit does this provide to the U.S.? I'm optimistic because young and smart people are eager to build the new world which has been promised. And what more American an expression of hope and opportunity than in the conquering of new land?

American culture is far more tolerant of nudity now than it ever has been. When else would television shows like The Boys and Game of Thrones get away with showing so much of the human anatomy as within the last three decades?

I think this position is true in principle. Women are attracted to men on a mission. That user's solution seemed extreme. But if he had directed his energies into making meaningful strides in his chosen passion (such as, say, hiking) then I think there would be a lot to commend in it. And, as a happy side effect, he may well have become more attractive, or at least more fulfilled.

Because for me "learning Brazilian Jiu Jitsu" would be the project of many, many decades
You'll be decades older anyway.

The Emperor's New Groove is a cartoon, but it hits a couple of these beats. For a slightly more mature beat, try the Road to El Dorado and the Prince of Egypt.

Has anybody here founds success with hypnotherapy? I've been toying with the idea of trying a couple sessions, but the one hypnotherapist I contacted priced at £100 per hour-long session, which seems very high. I wonder if CBT might be the better way to start with therapy.
I believe Lewis himself thought that Faces was his best book. But it never enjoyed the popularity of Narnia. I understand why, but I always go out of my way to recommend it. The Four Loves is a good companion, and a more explicit charting of Lewis' thoughts on the kinds of love and their perversions.
