Wouldn't solve the issue of certain women wanting me not to work in the same building as them

It might, you might become less creepy around women.
Fixing your head so you start thinking of women as actual independent, autonomous humans instead of a conglomerated subclass out to screw you over could help too.
IDK, you've got your god you could pray to, you could try and use your numerology and astrology to help you out.
Or you could invest in self-improvement and decide your own purpose for yourself, maybe get some hobbies or a pet or something.

I do. But I have an unfixable relationship with my father which I suspect is causing my prayers to go unanswered. He's a total control freak. Has no intention of letting me live my life in peace so the only solution was to stop talking to him. It's a catch-22 situation and it can only change if my father somehow finds some compassion for me in his heart. Overbearing parents are hell.

Doesn't help too much in cases where I can't find out the date of birth of the person or their birth records are inaccurate.

I would be happy being a welfare baby, spending my free time reading and doing coding experiments. Not an option for me though.

That's effective especially if HR sends out an email telling everyone that so and so is dating.

At my age and future career prospects, I don't really care. Just waiting for one of two things to happen:

1) Sudden realization of what my actual purpose is for being alive and waking up every day with gratitude for being given the chance to fulfill that purpose.

2) My demise

Both are equally good in my opinion. Better than my current situation.

You desperately need to discover your special purpose.

Alright, buddy, you seem to admire Peterson, check this out.

God helps those who help themselves. You are waiting for someone to come and save you. I am telling you no one is coming. No one can save you from yourself, you have to do the work for yourself. This is something you really need to come to terms with.

Well aware of that.

Yikes igor. I've given up on Moonbeam because he'll use literally any excuse to wriggle out of conceding a point / admitting responsibility, but you're acting like you asked a stupid question despite being "well aware" of a valid answer to it. If you want to act like a child who can never be wrong, I'm done here.

My personal opinion and preference (if I had any power in the matter) would be to let women create their own companies with an all female workforce.

A sexist's solution is sexism. Quelle surprise.

Mold??? I knew his danky looking house wasn't a good living space. Brittany Murphy and her husband died from mold related respiratory infections too.
 
Auto-immune reactions are the worst. But unfortunately, I think he's not getting the best care because there are plenty of immunomodulators without side effects, such as proteolytic enzymes (only European doctors use them as far as I know).

Aspergillosis?

Edit: I guess not. It's being described as an auto-immune reaction to mold. I hate mold.

I don't think there is any evidence of that.

The family seems to believe in RFK Jr. levels of voodoo medicine.

Remember he went on fad carnivore diet as some kind of cure all.

Then a couple of years later Peterson went to Russia to get emergency Drug Detox from Benzos (Valium), where he was again away for months and nearly died:

Jordan Peterson suffers year of 'absolute hell' and is forced to withdraw from public life, daughter says

Controversial psychologist's daughter says his efforts to come off drug left him in 'unbearable discomfort'

The controversial academic had been consuming the drug for years to alleviate persistent anxiety in the wake of a severe autoimmune reaction to food.

Now, it appears he had pneumonia, and the mold stuff is them guessing, because it's either Mold or Spiritual attacks...

Jordan Peterson was ‘near death’ after he was hospitalized with pneumonia and sepsis: daughter

She said that her dad’s latest health issues came after he had dealt with a “host of neurological issues this summer that we believe stem from…chronic inflammatory response syndrome, due to decades of mold exposure.”

and this:

She said the condition triggered a series of “neurological symptoms” that worsened after Peterson cleaned out his late father’s basement earlier this year.

“We don’t have a better explanation for his neurological symptoms at the moment other than spiritual attacks,” she said.

Oki. No one else is connecting these dots so I guess it has to be me.

WORMS. It's the fucking brain worms. RFK. He is multiplying.

This is gonna get bad.

Also. Something about eating an all meat diet and chronic inflammatory markers .. but that is old science, so...
 
My wife suggested I watch this video yesterday, and I was reminded of some of the unhinged behaviour I saw in this thread.

If you don't want to watch a half-hour video without good reason, there's an example of one of these twats employing the tactic (DARVO) within the first two minutes. The rest of the video breaks down the use of the tactic.
 
Most of these feminist women are just entitled karens. Yes, there are abusive men out there and guess who chooses to continue dating them after the first date? The women. Watch the movie "Woman of the hour". Guess who wins the dating game show? The serial killer. Why? Coz he knows exactly how women think. If women gave nicer guys more chances than the seemingly cooler macho guys, maybe they would get into fewer troubling incidents. Let's consider the cases of Rihanna and Cassandra Ventura. Both must have known early on that the men they were with were dangerous. Those men didn't just flip in some random moment of fury. Those women must've seen the red flags and still chose to stick with them until they got harmed pretty bad. Don't blame ALL men for your poor choices in men.

It's been a bit since a good unhinged Igor post. Glad you've been able to dodge the incoming fire.

I felt my first contempt for Joan when I was in the second grade. I was deeply attracted to her but she had a boyfriend Jack, a mean sexually aggressive piece of shit. She had no love of loving caring descent far superior me. The hurt was so bad I remember pretty much only that from those school years. What I felt was jealousy and envy and hate. It would be many years before I met someone wise who explained to me that the cause of my jealousy, her fondness for shit and his disgusting behavior was all the result of hate. To mitigate the pain of hating ourselves we seek the love of others which we feel we don’t deserve leaving us open to seeking negative attention if positive attention is unavailable in preference to the terrible loneliness of no attention at all.

Little did I know back then how needy we are and how self destructive that neediness is for so so many. Those Karen’s and chauvinistic pigs and those disgusted by them really deserve not blame but pity. They sleep with no idea they are sick. Without self awareness that we were taught and trained to hate ourselves, we live in blame of others for the pain we feel. We all long to be loved, desperately if we are honest, unaware that what we seek will actually cure nothing. But the truth is always 180 degrees worm where we look. It isn’t really being loved that heals, it is doing the loving yourself.

Oh, my Beloved, Mulla Nasrudin said, wherever I look it appears to be Thou.

How do you mend a broken heart? How can a looser ever win?

Meister Eckhart: The eye with which I see God is the same eye with which he sees me. What does that mean? I thing it means that the love you take is equal to the love you make. Sadly, ant contempt you feel for out there is the contempt you feel for yourself.

When I lost all hope for finding love or that love is real, love sought me. There is only love.
 
Thank you for the like. I hate to say we suffer needlessly, our pain is dear to us as well as self defining, but it is a metamorphic process that faced sincerely burns away the dross leaving alchemical gold. Some call it the true self, others the image we were created in. I think of it more like the big brained primate form of cat zoomies. But whatever you call it or whatever it is, it is a birthright the universe intends for us to experience. We are at called at least to peek beneath the skirt of the Beloved to be transfixed by delight and wonder, to be blinded by radiance. Be the one you seek the one forgotten you always have been.
