  1.  @theroguerider  Maybe you're awkward because you feel that you have to succeed in this interaction because there are expectations that you will find a woman, have a family and make lots of money to feed, raise and educate your children. I'm a motorbike rider and one of the things you learn is not to hold on too tight. Holding on too tight actually reduces the control you have in a situation because it reduces your flexibility and ability to respond. Likewise, in life don't put too much import on any particular interaction with a woman or really any person that you interact with. It's not a win or lose at this singular encounter. The more people you encounter on a relaxed, no expectations type of basis, the better your chances of finding people you enjoy interacting with, be they potential friends or a potential romantic partners. Who ever said you are only successful if you have a romantic partner; no body whose judgement you should respect. For my kids, I've always felt that they are better set up for life with real long term friendships than glomming onto a romantic partner as soon as possible. They seem happy. One is single with a vibrant social life and the other is in a long term relationship - with a vibrant social life. That makes me happy too.

  2. I think that many never got over owning other people. This is why so many companies and business owners expect people work for a minimum wage that is utterly unable to support a single person, let alone a family. The American tip culture just enables this exploitation.

  3. I always learn a lot from Leeja's videos even if I usually find them very discomforting. Please, keep it up. We need to know these things.

  4. I am still wrapping my head around this. Sheeeeesh!!! I usually listen to Youtube videos at 1.5 time speed. I had to slow this one down to 0.75 to actually take in all the information being thrown at me and even then I had to back-track a couple of times to be sure I'd heard correctly or because I was still processing something that had been said earlier. And I'm not even from the USA. I'm from Australia which, strangely, seems to want to adopt everything that the USA does without much actual assessment of whether it makes sense for us or not. The US system of law enforcement has always seemed a bit weird to me with elected local Sheriff's departments and so forth. Here in Aus the state police, which is the lowest level of law enforcement, are a professional unit led by someone who is appointed based on merit rather than elected on the basis of a popularity contest. I get the US obsession with election as a way of selecting officials, but I think it is a method that doesn't scale the way they think it does. It was developed when the states were very much smaller and could not support a law enforcement 'profession. ' I think our law enforcement is getting worse because they are trying to adopt US law enforcement methods. There has been a definite up-tick in police shootings of people who exhibited mental problems, who might have been talked down if time was taken and empathy deployed. There is a definite portion of Australia who view the American way of doing things (whatever that is at the time) as the proper way to handle things. Personally, I think we should be more open to filtering what comes from America through a mesh of our own system of ethics and norms.

  6. A few years ago I heard some of what Jordan Peterson said to young men of recent generations. "Take responsibility in your life" and "Be the person whom others can depend on in difficult times." These kinds of things will give one an intrinsic feeling of worth and often others will find that an attractive attribute in a friend or romantic partner. I felt that this was good advice at the time and I still generally agree with it. I don't agree so much with some of his other public musings. 🤨 I once read that book, "Men are from Mars; Women are from Venus" and found some interesting insights in it, so much so that I passed it on to my sister's ex-husband who was very down about their break-up. Given what I'd drawn from the book, I was startled by what he got from it; a handbook on manipulating women and bending them to his will. I understood then why my sister couldn't live with him regardless of the two children they had. I have to agree with Leeja; many men are not okay. I wish I knew how to help in this situation but so much of this is so far from my experience that they may as well be from Mars - the Mars from "Mars Attacks."

  7. Thank you for that summary. I've been vaguely curious about UFO/UAPs since the early '70's but never worked up enough 'give a f***' to do actual research. I'd concluded that if aliens didn't want to actually say hi and were so incompetent as to actually crash while their own didn't care enough to recover either craft or bodies, then they weren't anyone we actually needed to be concerned with. The Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy had some plausible scenarios to explain the random UFO sightings: either alien teenagers doing the equivalent of knocking on the door and running away (with or without a burning bag of poop) or a specific alien called Wowbagger the Infinitely Prolonged who, being immortal and having nothing better to do with his time, flew around the galaxy insulting every individual life form in alphabetical order.

  8. I'm really enjoying your videos. Good solid legal analysis along with dry humour that I love.
