Also @Shannon are we to expect a release for LTU 5.0 later today?

I oftentimes do the very same thing.

Some people may be impolite, aggresive, etc., because they're scared, having a bad day or something, and the it's very much fine to respond by trying to show them some love. They will really appreciate it.

Others use such behavior as a power play, and these types of folks won't respond to positive stimulus like a "sane" person would - in my experience, it'll only make them see you as an "easy mark". So the most practical approach is, I believe, the "you are beneath me" approach. They may fume and try to "show you your place" in response, but sooner or later they will respond by accepting the fact that you are the dominant side in the interaction - and either try to avoid you, or try to suck up (I'm not kidding, it's pretty disgusting when it happens ). It's how many people seem to be wired. It's typical "social climber" type of stuff: crap all over those who you perceive as having less power, and suck up to those who you perceive as having more power. In my line of work, people often become indoctrinated to act like this.

BIATHM and DMSI helped me to be set free from that. There was a woman who once treated me badly at a dinner.

I treated her like she was beneath me, just like she had treated me at that dinner. I don't believe in always treating people that way, but some people will not respect you otherwise. If I had not been on the subs, I would have been really nice to her at the expense of my own self esteem.

Had some questions about 6G. But maybe I should wait until 6G is fully developed before asking them.


Edit 2: Might as well ask them,

Will the manifestation times in 6G be similar to previous generations of subs?

How long will manifestation (MYP 6G) take in 6G on average?

How far back (in time) will TID from 6G be?

How long break will be needed (to avoid turbulence) between 6G programs?

Will you be upgrading every single 3G, 4G and 5G program to 6G, or just the more ‘essential’ ones?

I think my self-esteem is much better than it used to be.

When I used to go to night clubs (which were all new and interesting once I had just moved from the country), my self-esteem was probably quite low. I put up with big, muscular guys pushing me around, and acted submissive for my own safety.

Eventually, I had had enough of being intimidated by guys at nightclubs, and always getting rejected by the women there, so I decided to never go to a nightclub again, and haven’t for several years. I also gave up approaching women for similar reasons, I had had enough of nonstop rejection.

Nowadays, I go to cafes and the local Thai restaurant, and people tend to be much nicer there (compared to night clubs). I’m also working on removing the ‘women only have sex with genetically superior guys’ BS that modern society constantly repeats, and trying to replace it with a ‘everyone is worthy of sex, and everyone has someone out there that would do anything they could to have sex with you, etc’ paradigm that is much healthier and more empowering.

I’ve worked security at a couple of clubs. I’ll let you in on a little secret. The VAST majority of those meatheads who run around starting fights with smaller guys can’t fight worth a crap.
