Leverage Community

Have you found ways that have made any of these things easier? (or add your own if you have something helpful to share)

The way I deal with: A. Social situations 1. fear of being judged 2. silence in a conversation feeling awkward 3. feeling like the odd one out in a group 4. being interrupted or talked over 5. meeting people when I have no social energy 6. fear of being seen as boring or unexciting 7. being… (edited) read more

WORD OF THE DAY

Bafflegab (noun): Confusing or generally unintelligible jargon. Pronunciation: [baf-uh-l-gab] Etymology: It combines "baffle" (to confuse) and "gab" (talk) and was coined in the 1950s by author Milton A. Smith. Bafflegab is the primary language of the corporate retreat. It’s where a simple… read more

Beware the control freak.

Unfortunately there are instances where someone will try to punish their partner to gain leverage in a relationship. This can be done in many ways, such as breaching agreements, isolation, or withholding attention, affection, and intimacy, as well as emotional and/or financial support. This is… read more

Chasing doesn’t create love. It creates leverage

The more someone knows you’ll keep coming back regardless of how little they give, the more power they have to take you for granted

The demon

Roses are red, violets are blue I refuse to let that demon through. Everytime I open the door I see myself in the mirror an evil grin, another me that I created for what purpose? I been beaten down and was turned into a clown and in the time while I was making a frown the demon made me a crown… read more

You say you want love. What you need is leverage.

I found out the phrase is attributed to Dave Elliot, a relationship coach, and was popularized through his work and connection with author Marianne Williamson. It suggests that to truly experience love, one must first possess leverage—not in a manipulative sense, but as a personal foundation of… read more

🖋

They say they protect women they love. "Love" is a word men use when they do not want to explain leverage. Protection comes before love. Love is the story told afterward to justify behavior already decided.

Not everyone wants you healed; your healing removes their leverage.

Behind locked doors

Behind locked doors... The elites plan to keep us divided and poor. One way? Planned obsolescence Purposely making low end items fail No one's purposely making billion dollar yachts, and homes, and tech like that ... So they can keep nickel and diming us, to keep us from getting ahead All… read more

Mirror World (A reply i left under someone elses post that i think deserves its own post)

i always liked the idea of the world being an internal mirror to see ones own heart/soul/core, and i have contemplated this quite a bit for something non material, exists over time, and that is only sensed by feeling, the obvious way to view it properly is feeling it tested from all angles, this… (edited) read more

Marriages usually symbolize the death of a mans individuality

I don't think I'll ever gat married if you think about it the only leverage a man really has in a relationship is total commintance once that's given away it only makes perfect sense that in many cases the marriage fails soon after it started if only people listened to the guy more then being… (edited) read more

Some things in life don’t announce themselves. They don’t arrive with warning or permission. They just begin—quietly—until you realize you’ve already been changed by them.

Most people look for control in the wrong place. They try to control outcomes, other people, timing. But the real leverage is internal: how you respond when none of that is in your hands. There’s a strange kind of clarity that comes from accepting uncertainty. Not the passive kind—more like… read more

Boundary Breakers

What do you think of a 41 year sister who likes to play games, such as giving me "fake" gifts that she will ask for back later, to use as leverage, in case she decides she doesn't like a boundary ive set - now, 1 or 2 years later, she wants access back and now she suddenly "needs" that "very… read more

[INTRODUCTION TO MIND LEVELS]

Today realization

Yes. That is one of the oldest structural distortions in human systems. A position has two invisible sides: Privilege extraction — status, money, influence, immunity, access. Burden absorption — accountability, risk, sacrifice, duty. When the first greatly exceeds the second, the role mutates… read more

Late Son Part 9

The Boat at Night The river was dark enough that night felt earned. When the boat came, it did not announce itself. No lights. No greeting. It moved against the current, slowly and badly, as though whoever was guiding it had chosen direction over sense. Steven heard it before he saw it—the wrong… read more

At least I have the lateral deltoid raise machine a try. The simplicity is better than chest supported cable "Supermans" that I'm used to. Just the machine leverage + the 2:1 pulley makes everything too easy. Back to my Supermans...

i don’t mind being the only one in this space posting about it but it would be a more interesting space with more people posting. i know the core of bitcoin mining might be decenrralization which some would argue means keeping it on the downlow but i guess i consider myself a protagnist on that… read more

I am hurt, why? Good question. In part of of a lot of things. Easiest first, i understand your explanation, but if you are not going to try and work on it, then it is just an excuse.

Late Son Part 4

What Elias Brings With Him Elias asked to speak privately once routine had settled enough that asking wouldn’t draw attention. They stood behind the cooper’s workshop, where the smell of wood and pitch drowned out conversation. Elias spoke carefully, as if he’d rehearsed the order of the facts even… read more

Late Son Part 7

Where Leverage Is the Currency They felt it before anyone spoke to them. The town sat at the convergence of routes—river, mountain pass, lowland road—and it ran smoothly. Not warmly. Smoothly. People moved with purpose. Disputes ended quickly. Nothing lingered long enough to become visible. There… read more

Thoughts from a Chronic Sedentarian

Weight loss is obviously one of the most-discussed and widely-sought topics, especially surrounding the dating world. I wanted to take some time to put my thoughts down in writing both for myself and anyone else that might want to comment on what my headspace has looked like recently. Note:… read more

Divine Feminine or Economic Delusion? 💸🕯️🐍

it just me, or is the "Divine Feminine" trend just a fancy way of rebranding burnout as a lifestyle? 🧘‍♀️✨ I see the appeal: "Stop grinding, lean into your soft energy, and let the universe provide." In a 2026 economy where everything is overpriced and exhausting, it’s a seductive pitch. But let’s… read more

Air Freshener Mark 2

When you pour any kind of substance into an open container, air can only penetrate so far into its layers. In the case of fine powder, air can only interact 2mm deep, so the rest of the substance never interacts with air unless you cycle the layers by shaking. Here deoderizer falls into columns… (edited) read more

Late Son Part 13

When Force Tests Restraint → The Cost of Clarity → Leaving Without Being Absorbed The road narrowed where the trees leaned in. Eight figures stepped out of cover—not cleanly, not together. Mixed weapons. Uneven spacing. The kind of ambush that relied more on desperation than planning. Steven saw it… read more

World

Alliances are built on consent, trust, and reliability—not coercion. When a leader threatens an ally, it crosses a fundamental line and weakens the very system that keeps nations secure. In the case of Greenland, the issue isn’t just rhetoric. It’s principle. Allies who have stood with us in… read more

Illusions Must Die Moral theater obscures function. The Dark Triad was deliberately mislabeled by cowards and opportunists, to conceal what governs behavior under pressure.

Apparently no one has used the whole stack on the cable, despite being a 2:1 pulley. I felt a misalignment like the pulley was stuck against something, so 37.5kg so I couldn't even do my former volume.

Conversely, the steel handles roll so smoothly that I almost injured my wrist again falling out of my hand. I regrettably changed to the high preacher which felt super light and super stable. I haven't even curled 40kg let alone the whole stack. Leverage and stability advantages of machines just… read more

Family huh?

You’ve distilled it to the essence. That kind of bond is rare because it asks for something most people avoid: care without leverage. When help is not traded for material gain, when it is not enforced by duty, when it is not performed to preserve an image— what remains is intent, stripped… read more

Thing that appear in my mind this morning

Yes. And that is not an accident, nor merely a theological quirk. It is structural. Most religions do not oppose immortality because it is impossible. They oppose it because it breaks the psychological machinery that religion relies on. Let me lay it out cleanly. --- 1. Mortality is the… read more
