Never eat tuna. I think I ate it on a cruise ship once by accident 8 years ago thinking it was chicken. But I was not in the mental claritymaxxing game by then and was chugging soda from the soda dispenser every waking moment of the day (so much so I got bored with soda and craved normal water). It's not so much mercury in itself I'm attributing to it. Mercury is just one of many things that tend to be elevated higher up in the food chain (and cod seems to be higher up than salmon). Mercury is like the placeholder of environmental toxins that accumulate up the food chain.

I enjoy each day and feel grateful. To throw my hat in the discussion. It's okay to feel pride, but the follow up to that is to recognize that its not self, letting the self feel pride is okay, well-being is okay. Then see the separation between awareness and self. This is actually really important for spiritual development. Filling the self with positive feelings, then recognizing that the awareness is not those feelings. But the awareness knows good feelings. Thats better than knowing shitty feelings right? So it's okay. Anyways Yeaaaaa Pride.. I'm proud of my boys frodo sam aragorn gandalf legolas boromir gimli and smeagol Proud of han solo and leia and luke skywalker Proud of the dudes who got through basically psychotic breakdowns and overcame I'm proud of my family and what they take care of and their efforts.

Yep! I've seen a few clips of breakdowns, looking at the other dogs reaction as the scraggy boss comes in. Fascinating ! -
Sending my thanks here once again to our man Leo here for all his incredible work. The fact we've got all this for free is completely mind boggling. We are truly spoiled and blessed at the same time! 🙏

Women have been completely dependent on men for basic survival for most of human history. Female independence is historically abnormal and thanks to all the modern inventions and systems that men built. -
Maybe youve seen this. ;D

That's perfectly reasonable, it could be the cod reaction that you had, had nothing to do with Mercury? It's true that the mercury is elevated in cod, but also it's pretty high in tuna. Do you have any bad reactions to tuna? I suspect you're having a reaction to something else that's elevated in cod that's not normally found another fish, type of allergy. Parvalbumin maybe? If you eat tuna and have no reaction, then it's probably not the mercury the problem. Mercury tends to cause indirect problems, like autoimmune disease and not normally a cause of direct stomach upset.

Yep, she is okay with dogs smaller or her size. Larger dogs it's a total no. She is quite reactive on the lead also. There is an awareness she cannot escape on the lead - she is less reactive when off lead and is around a larger dog. There is some ability to recognise she cannot escape while on the lead. I'm quite fascinated by animal psychology. -
@Natasha Tori Maru Thats so interesting, does your dog do better with dogs smaller then her? Like less intimidation?

This is why gender roles are a social construct. Sex is a biological fact but gender roles are flexible. https://anthrosource.onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1111/aman.13914 "The Paleo-fantasy of a deep history to a sexual division of labor, often described as “Man the Hunter and Woman the Gatherer,” continues to dominate the literature. We see it used as the default hypothesis in anatomical and physiological reconstructions of the past as well as studies of modern people evoking evolutionary explanations. However, the idea of a strict sexual labor division in the Paleolithic is an assumption with little supporting evidence, which reflects a failure to question how modern gender roles color our reconstructions of the past. Here we present examples to support women's roles as hunters in the past as well as challenge oft-cited interpretations of the material culture. Such evidence includes stone tool function, diet, art, anatomy and paleopathology, and burials. By pulling together the current state of the archaeological evidence along with the modern human physiology presented in the accompanying paper (Ocobock and Lacy, this issue), we argue that not only are women well-suited to endurance activities like hunting, but there is little evidence to support that they were not hunting in the Paleolithic. Going forward, paleoanthropology should embrace the idea that all sexes contributed equally to life in the past, including via hunting activities" -

@integral my dog has an issue as a result of a remarkably similar situation, only she doesn't get defensive when she sees a larger dog or child. She runs in fear with a full tail tuck. The fear is so intense she will run into traffic with zero awareness. I can never let her off the lead now, as a result. Except in small enclosed spaces. Lucky I have a large outdoor rooftop dog run she can move freely in. Similar trauma - different pathology in behaviour developed! -

I feel enraged and act the same toward all violence, im not biased toward violeces that hit only one type of human ... -
My dog used to love playing with other dogs until she began living with a larger dog that would abuse her, she had to stand up for herself against this dog over and over everyday and then when we moved to a new place away from that dog, she began behaving defensively to all dogs and even children. She never went back to her old self. But shes still SPECIAL, so its ok :D.

Intresting. Prompt: Is there an evidence of women fighting in wars in pre patriarchal socities? Response: Yes — there is evidence. But it’s often misunderstood because we tend to project later patriarchal war models onto much older societies. Across archaeology, anthropology, and ethnography, we have multiple independent lines of evidence showing that in many egalitarian, pre-state, and likely pre-patriarchal societies, women did participate in warfare, raids, and defense. Importantly: they were not exceptions, “disguised as men,” or symbolic figures. In some cultures, it was normal. Archaeological evidence (graves with weapons) Andean highland burial near Wilamaya Patjxa (9,000 years ago) A burial of a young woman with a full big-game hunting toolkit: projectile points, knives, scraping tools. Analysis of many similar burials in the region showed 30–50% of big-game hunters were women. In these societies, big-game hunting and warfare skills overlap (projectiles, tracking, group tactics). This strongly suggests women were trained in the same combat/hunting skills as men. Birka grave Bj 581 (Viking Age) A high-status warrior grave with sword, axe, arrows, shield, horses, and a war strategy board game. Long assumed to be a male warrior. DNA (2017) proved the skeleton is biologically female. Not just a fighter — likely a military leader/strategist. This overturned a century of assumptions about “male-only” Viking warfare. Ethnographic evidence (tribes observed in recent centuries) Dahomey Amazons (West Africa) An all-female military regiment for centuries. Elite shock troops of the kingdom. European observers documented their combat effectiveness in detail. A surviving example of a much older tradition of women as formal warriors. Scythians (Eurasian Steppe) Multiple female burials with bows, arrows, horse gear, and battle injuries. Greek accounts of “Amazons” likely came from encounters with these steppe cultures. Women rode horses, hunted, and fought like men. Anthropological observations of egalitarian tribes In several egalitarian forager groups recorded in the 19–20th centuries: Women joined defensive raids Women used bows, spears, and clubs Warfare was seen as community protection, not male domination Skill mattered more than sex Examples documented in classic ethnographies include: Agta — women hunt with bows and join raids. Mbuti — collective defense; no strict male monopoly on violence. Inuit — women trained in weapons for survival and defense. What changed with patriarchy and states As societies shifted to: Property Lineage control Standing armies Territorial conquest Warfare became: Professionalized Male-dominated Hierarchical About domination, not protection Women were excluded, not because they couldn’t fight — but because war became tied to male political power. Key takeaway In many pre-patriarchal / egalitarian societies: Fighting was a human skill, not a male role. Women hunted. Women defended. Women fought. The idea that “war has always been men’s domain” is historically recent. -

@Carl-Richard this is the basis of how I was defining the term in this application. As in, literally the cat had a maladaptive, disorganised behaviour pattern originating from whatever caused it. -

I think you're going overboard here, it's not that extreme to stop using soap. You're acting like it's this extreme unreasonable thing to do? Even if there was nothing wrong with soap, it still cost money and time to orchestrate all these different soaps. Dishwashing soap, handwashing soap, laundry soap, hair soap, toothpaste... so on. Even if this stuff is perfectly fine, why bother doing any of this? The value it serves is at best convenience, it'll help you remove oils... like ok... just take more time washing instead?
