Practical information/skills

India has gained free access to an advanced ChatGPT model tier — specifically the ChatGPT Go plan — for a full year, starting November 4, 2025.

Normally priced at around ₹399/month (~$4.80 USD) in India, it’s now free for 12 months for eligible users.

The reason why ChatGPT has felt dumber lately is because 1.4 billion Indians with an average I.Q. of 76 have been given full and free access to an AI model that was once considered the best.
I can only imagine what prompts and questions are being asked by these shit skins.
The scamming will be off the charts!

Do not redeem Saar!

Better to drink and workout then to not workout.

💊. Beyond Alpha Testosterone — Personal Experience

I’m in my thirties and train hard. Like many men today, I’m dealing with the modern reality: sedentary work, too much time indoors, low sunlight, constant exposure to plastics and chemicals.

I already had the basics covered: lifting, diet, movement, sunlight. I started adding supplements cautiously and, almost two months ago, began using the Beyond Alpha Testosterone Stack.

What I’ve noticed:
– Better, deeper sleep
– Bodyweight stable, but muscle mass increasing faster
– Visible changes in shoulders and triceps (others noticed it too)
– Libido and morning erections fully back and consistent
– More mental clarity and calmness.

Some of this could be placebo. Most of it is a real, noticeable difference compared to two months ago.

This isn’t a replacement for training, diet, or lifestyle. But if you’ve already got those dialed in — or realistically aren’t quitting everything — this stack is worth trying.

The Easiest Way to Grow Fresh Herbs at Home: The Herb Spiral

A herb spiral is one of the smartest garden designs for people with limited space. By building upward in a circular shape, you create multiple micro-climates in one structure — sunny, shady, dry, moist — so every herb gets the conditions it needs.

This is why spirals work so well:
• Top = hot, dry, perfect for rosemary, thyme, oregano
• Middle = moderate soil for sage, lavender, basil
• Bottom = cool, moist zone for parsley, dill, chives
• Optional: let the lowest point drain into a small pond to support moisture-loving plants

It’s low-maintenance, space-efficient, and gives you fresh herbs all year.

If you want a simple, powerful upgrade to your home garden: build a herb spiral. It works.

Books we wish we read earlier:
Today — The 48 Laws of Power by Robert Greene

This book is powerful because it explains the real rules people operate by — ego, insecurity, hierarchy, and influence. Schools don’t teach this. Life does.

One law that changed everything for me is Never Outshine the Master.

It means: don’t make your boss or leader feel threatened.
Even if you’re talented, showing them up can trigger insecurity — and they’ll quietly block your progress. Understanding this alone would have saved me years of stress in work and relationships.

I genuinely wish I had read this book much earlier. It helped me understand people, avoid naïve mistakes, and navigate power dynamics with far more clarity. Also not following this rule kinda fucked up my career.

Highly recommended for every man who wants to move smarter in career, relationships, and life.

👩 WOMEN : YOU’RE NOT “MOODY” — YOU MIGHT JUST BE DEHYDRATED.

Research shows that even 1.36% dehydration can significantly disrupt mood and mental performance in healthy young women.

The study found:
• ↑ Anger & irritability
• ↑ Fatigue
• ↑ Headaches
• ↑ Mood disturbance
• ↓ Concentration
• ↑ Tasks feel harder

All from dehydration so mild most women wouldn’t notice it.

Why this matters: hydration in women fluctuates naturally (cycle, stress, caffeine, workouts).

If you feel foggy, irritable, low-energy, or emotionally off — it may not be hormones.
It may simply be not enough water.

Drink consistently throughout the day — your brain feels dehydration long before your mouth does.

checkout the app INCI beauty, you can scan the code on various hygiene products.

The ingredients are color coded, with descriptions and links as to why something was labeled for example as red, which is used for the most harmful substances.

You can see peoples comments and suggestions for similar products with higher points.
Maximum number of points is 20, each bad or potentially bad ingredient takes away point.

I guess anything above 15 points is not so bad. Some people say that the app is too strict on some ingredients. As always as you say its best to research everything yourself, but its a nice app and can help.

🧼 Strong Scents

This is your reminder to check your soaps, conditioners and shampoos.

Particularly if it seems too fragrant or the smell sticks to you.

You know when you wash your hands and then smell the soap on your skin hours later?
No natural fragrance is that strong.

Petrochemicals & plastic-like polymers are used to make scents last longer.

Take for example a popular Australian 'Fruit Hair Conditioner'.

The name of the brand contains the word 'Organic', subconsciously implying to you that their products are clean.
The bottle says it's cruelty free, 100% vegan and plant derived.

The packaging says 'plant derived' but notice that according to the list below, only some ingredients are plant-derived.
Plant derived means they extract a substance from a plant and then use significant chemical processing to manipulate it.

The ingredients are as follows:
Water, Cetearyl Alcohol*, Cetrimonium Chloride*, Lecithin*, Macadamia Ternifolia (Macadamia Nut) Seed Oil, Triticum Vulgare (Wheat) Protein, Panthenol, Phenoxyethanol, Polyquaternium-10*, Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethicone, Dimethiconol, Citric Acid*, Sodium Benzoate, Fragrance. *Plant Derived.

There's only one way to check how toxic this product is.
Look up each and every single ingredient. There are no shortcuts here.

Initially things look OK... Water, Alcohol, Oil, Protein...

Then you get to a synthetic preservative: Phenoxyethanol.

When you search these types of chemicals, you'll usually get the classic: Only toxic in 'high doses'.

The real question is: how toxic is it in low doses everyday for years?

🤔 Phenoxyethanol is also used in vaccines.

Next: Cyclopentasiloxane, Dimethiconol, Dimethicone
Three types of synthetic silicone. Used for smoothness and reducing frizz.

Yep that's right. Not silicon. Silicone. The same chemical you use to seal your kitchen bench 😂

Sodium Benzoate:
An irritating preservative.

Fragrance (undisclosed composition):
What kind of chemicals are commonly used?
Aldehydes -> toxic
Methyl butanoate -> irritant at best
Phthalates -> 'forever chemical' component in plastic that destroys fertility
Styrene -> like polystyrene 😂

Not only are you hurting your skin and absorbing these chemicals... you're also smelling them which means they can enter your blood through the respiratory system.

Check your products, read the label and look the ingredients up.
