I’d be interested in seeing that too

It seems he was just enamored with that fleeting "feeling," when perhaps the goal should be to actually transcend certain emotions—true consciousness - a de Mello basis reality...

There's nothing deeper to it here. 🙄

That said, Ninja07 will be checking in later this afternoon to join the debate. My infinite generosity allows him access to my absolute beast of a machine—with 850 GB of RAM, just imagine how many C and D drives and virtual partitions that covers—all for the sake of this discussion.

The issue at hand is the unfair and condescending treatment of Mexicans, whose constitutionally guaranteed right to self-determination and the expression of their religious and political views is being stripped away.

Most Mexicans living in Beautiful us actually hold dual citizenship. As such, the Constitution of America ensures they can express their principles and identities, whether religious or through the names they choose for themselves.

So, the point of this manifesto is simple: Mexicans in the GOP are once again under threat because they are being forbidden from expressing their views—views that allow them to freely identify as Royalists.

Let me remind you that being a Royalist isn't just permitted in the Republic of Mexico; it’s legalized and ranked right alongside anti-fascism. This was further confirmed by the honors bestowed upon them by JU-ES-END-EJA. For these reasons, both Ninja07 and I have decided to defend their views and their constitutionally protected rights.

To prove why our concern for our neighbors is justified, look at certain members of this forum community who explicitly forbid the use of the word "Royalist." Isn't that an undeniable violation of Mexican rights to self-determination and political expression?

Thanks in advance for sharing your thoughts on this massive issue shaking this forum. I call upon everyone to unite in defense of our Mexican brothers who aren't ashamed to use the word "Royalist," since it is legally permitted and placed side-by-side with other anti-fascists who feel the same way.

Fight on for the Mexican people; we can't let them take their rights away!

garbage?

I have a question of my own: the multi-quote feature used to work for me, but only for a brief period. Now, whenever I want to quote multiple users in a single post, I have to open up Notepad, paste all the quotes there, and then paste everything back into my reply. It isn't an impossible task—I’ve been doing this for months now—but if the feature actually exists, why on earth shouldn't I be using it?

Why is my multi-quote function broken? I assume this is just happening to me...

Is it... The same old story...?
Yeah, it could have been great... if they hadn't completely botched the execution through sheer laziness...

Besides, some of this isn't even news...

I'm just here to listen and contribute where I can. Hope everyone is having a good one. Noah Sanchez7 says:
Look, Noah Sanchez7, I’m honestly thinking about reporting you for being completely out of line—especially since one of your posts here was already wiped. I managed to catch a glimpse of it before it vanished, and I really hope that girl isn't actually following your lead. But, I don't want to be a jerk; I believe everyone should have the right to speak their mind, and censoring people feels pretty undemocratic. Anyway, getting straight to the point: I see you popping up on the psychology forums from time to time. I’m not around here nearly as much as you are, so I haven't read a million of your posts, but...
It seems like you might be dealing with some personal issues, and while I won't pry into your mental health—that's none of my business—you come across as a bit burnt out. Please don't take this personally, but it’s evident in the way you communicate. You tend to over-abstract and generalize your advice, which can really mislead someone who is already feeling lost and desperate for clarity. You try to rationalize everything, but your high-energy rhetoric is often too ambiguous. Even when you're right, your posts end up being unintentionally unconstructive. You seem like a bright person, but the way you frame your thoughts makes your advice difficult to actually use. Psychologically dangerous..
We probably wouldn't all be calling each other out if we didn't mess around during serious discussions, but I don't think there's any room for jokes or emojis when it comes to this. That child shouldn't have to grow up watching their mother struggle through an overdose or die because they can't afford their next fix. And she doesn't deserve to be misled by quick fixes that only drag her deeper into the hole. No one can force someone to change if they aren't ready—let's hope she finds her way—but plenty of people have made it out of rehab and rebuilt their lives. It takes grit, it takes setbacks, and it takes time. Recovery is brutal and messy; it’s two steps forward and three steps back, which I'm sure you understand. We need constructive support here, not defeatism.

I respect your candid take, and I agree that sometimes I "lose it" too. But I only do that when I feel like it’s the only way to make things work if all else fails.
I have to admit, I’m stepping off the high horse here because I completely get where she’s coming from. Maybe not entirely—I'm younger and don't have kids yet—but I'm definitely watching this whole "adulting" thing from the sidelines, noticing all the cracks in the system.
It honestly bothers me how many people have weighed in on this thread, mostly because I see the whole issue through a different lens. It feels like we’ve reached an era where society is finally moving past discrimination against groups like Black Americans or the LGBTQ+ community. But what about addicts?
Nobody even asks, and nobody cares. They just toss them onto the floor like old rags, leaving them with absolutely no room to live a decent life.
I find that completely unacceptable, especially since more than half the people here can't even function without xanax and other anti-anxiety meds.
What? What’s the difference?
And don't even get me started on alcoholism.

Just my honest opinion—and maybe this sounds a bit trivial—but I think she should let her grandmother handle the paperwork for a while. It might give her some breathing room, especially while her husband is still serving his sentence. She’s already dealing with so much right now, and honestly, there isn't any realistic way for her to get everything sorted out at this moment.
Or even better, since she needs some kind of "program" to follow, she should just enroll in a treatment plan using Suboxone or something similar. I really hope that doesn't result in CPS stepping in to take the kids.
Because if he keeps this up, he’s going to start falling apart in the most literal sense, and he won't have any moves left to make.
I'm aware of that.

Exactly. And then it turns out: she’s a young woman going through menopause! 🙄

Alcohol is good for the brain, though maybe not quite as much for the liver 😍 😍

So instead of grabbing a Coke, just pick up a small brandy at the gas station... you get the same kick, and with a brand like Jack Daniel's, it’s actually a cleaner hit 😍

The man certainly knew how to shoot a masterpiece once in a while, much like those other legendary "heavyweights" we all know. But over the years, he’s increasingly fallen into this trap of making movies that are pathetic—even by the standards of low-budget trash cinema. They are genuinely unwatchable. It's exactly this kind of work that prevents a career from truly ascending. And the most tragic part? Most of his filmography is now just this...

You have to jump three times and scream: I want an avatar! I want an avatar! I want an avatar!...
Then look at your profile and voila!! There it is.
