  1. Past hour
  2. You never know - *I* could be the freaky one. My blood pressure is so low, usually if I am admitted to hospital, or see a GP who is not my regular, they attempt to sit me down and not let me walk around/get up for fear of passing out and hitting my head. I am not joking. I have had a few incidents where I have been restrained/labelled 'non-compliant' due to insisting I am okay and walking / standing. So my low blood pressure is anomalous. Way below what is normal. This is a genetic thing that runs in my family. I have been in emergency and pulled out saline bags because the nurses insist on pumping me so full of it to try to raise BP I end up bloated and ill. So this is the reason I add salt for sodium. I do not know how else to source it in my diet easily through food. I cannot fit much more volume into my diet as it is. And I only weigh 48kg @ 162cm. It is not like I overeat due to my additional salt intake.
  3. Yes but, to be completely honest I'm over simpflying my situation and embellishing a bit. I can also get a stamp for another 30 days but, this visis is a test run. I want to go back home collect my PS5 and bring it to Thailand. Mull over my options for a condo and not do it willynilly. I have been to Vietnam as well but, and came back so I got another 60 days that I still haven't exhausted. I also have my car lease that expires in March and I need to give that back. So I got back to tie some loose ends and come back here later. Also if you do too my "border runs" they find it suspicious and crack down on it.
  4. I didn't understand this. Why only while driving and not being able to sleep at night ? Last 2 days I haven't been able to sleep untill 4. (This is very unusual for me) That means I had awakened.. haha.
  5. Can't you just cross country borders and come back? I think that used to be the case
  6. SALT... SALT... Where's the SALT? That's what my dad says at every meal. lol. I don't get what all the hype is about, myself.

    Don't ask why. You just make up stories that are a misinterpretation of reality. Marcus Aurelius put it nicely: "Everything we hear is an opinion, not a fact. Everything we see is a perspective, not the truth." Go for direct experience. Ask: What is good about it? How can I use this experience to my benefit? What do I do with it? What feeling does this experience cause in my body? Don't look for explanations, go for experience and action. Have Fun.
  10. And to be clear, I am talking about a normal, balanced amount of added salt. Not excessive.
  11. My 50 cents: Your problem and your solution lies in this first sentence. Forget about else you wrote, that's just stories you adapted to distract yourself.
  12. I haven't ever seen a study displaying the age defying effects of low salt. There could be so many variables contributing to this sort of persons apparent aging, as you seem to also highlight that low salt is usually hand in hand with some form of raw veganism / vegan etc diets. There are way too many other lifestyle factors that could be present that could account for the effects. Not to mention genetic variability. Why do you think there are not more widespread general studies aligning with your premise? I haven't come across many controlled studies showing evidence salt is harmful. How do we know the human body has not evolved genetically to tolerate higher salt? After all, it was used as a preservative to maintain foods to avoid famine. It was essential for survival prior to refrigeration. It was a traded commodity in ancient Rome, Africa, China, Medieval Europe & India. Humans evolve to their conditions. Salt is the easiest way to get enough sodium for me. Nerves, muscles, blood pressure all rely on it. The volume of vegetables and fruits I eat, mean I need to intake additional salt as I am getting huge amounts of potassium and magnesium in my diet. As well as high intensity exercise most days. I deplete sodium very quickly. I add salt to my water on occasion if I feel my focus slipping and I am not experiencing low blood sugar. It enhances focus. Scientific consensus backs this. In addition, I still do not understand why making foods more palatable with sodium/salt is bad for health, provided it is done in a balanced way... the term 'addiction' is being thrown around and used WAY too liberally. People who do not have issues/disorders surrounding food do not usually use this term applied in this way. I am convinced when I see backed up, cohesive arguments for these sorts of topics. Widespread data. And I usually self experiment. Removing all salt from my diet lowered my blood pressure in a very detrimental way to my functioning. Unfortunately you make a lot of statements without any sort of widespread backing. I do see you mention some niche cherry picked sources but nothing with any sort of consensus. I drink miso soup as part of breakfast every day. I just do not overeat with additional salt in my diet.
  13. The dude needs a good 7 day fast in a cave, full of parasites/demons enslaved by evil or satan, very clear, all in the energy and eyes.

  15. Good point. I love loved living in a high rise as a kid. I lived in LA somewhere called the Wilshire Corridor. Then we moved out and I lived right next to Beverly Hills High School. Then after the divorce of my parents I lived in Bel Air. I HATED it because it was truly boring. Nowhere to go without a car. I felt like a prisoner in a gilded cage. Fast Forward to Today. I saw these videos on Thailand where you can get a fancy high rise for 1/10th or 1/15th even of those rip offs in the US. So I came here December 5th. So far so good I love it here. I was in a hotel with an awesome view. Lived in a condo for a while but, not the "cool ones" I saw before just the 6th floor when I would really like a 36th floor. So many things this country doese is so much more efficient than the US and really nice. Today I fly back to the US at night because Thailand only lets you stay maximum 60 days without a visa. I've made so many friends in Thailand who are property people and have great deals. Now I see the US as the past and South East Asia as the future. The US is only a place now that I make plans for the future in another country. I hate the US not because of politics but, because it's boring as hell and not innovative for shit. Before anyone says why not move to another city or state etc. Ya that's because I don't want to get ripped off. Almost every state is a rip off espcially the boring ones in the middle of the country that are cheaper than LA SF NY Seattle Miami etc. You get a whole bunch of nothing for a big price. Here though I get amazing things and see amazing people for small prices. That's a way better deal and I'm so happy I took this chance and did this test run.
  16. @integral My mother worked in Hospice. What's most important is just having those end of life conversations. Making sure you make peace with whatever while the opportunity still exists.
  17. ZenSwift liked this decision.
  18. Fuck off Stop getting distracted by nonsensical debates
  19. Does intention to create have a power to it?
  20. This video makes a good point that it's probable that the IDF will try to assassinate Ali Khamenei probably tomorrow. It would basically condemn the clerical regime and benefit everyone in the region including satisfying the people. All the incentives align towards getting rid of him.
  21. Oh man, I don't want to go to jail 😎
  22. Whenever i drive i start crying tears of happiness.
  23. 😉
  24. Powerful? Which power you have or what did you create?
  25. Agree. It's the working with between the Infinite and the finite.
  26. Regarding your blog Merging Into Infinity. Isn't this basically what atheists believe? You die and there is nothing.
  27. Andrew Norton Webber had some good talks on the science of salt, distilled water and how inorganic minerals effect the body and build-up calcification and lead to severe dehydration over-time, but I am finding it challenging to find them, may need to search with " " specific quotations. We are not really meant to turn into old shriveled up prunes. Plenty of yogi centenarians who don't look much older than 50 - 60 can be found all over india, often only consuming wild fruits, berries, herbs, raw honey and raw milk occasionally. Almost never salt, sugar, flour or processed (modern foods) which prematurely age us. Sri Tat Wale Baba at 75 - 80 years old for example...
