Something Funny

@Buck Edwards so you post a video of trolls intentionally coming to a vegan protest to start conflict provocation and then act surprised when people get into an argument with them? Makes sense.

Isn't that kind of close minded?

Specifically using hypnosis for personal development, to rewire your brain, deal with anxiety, insecurities, negative thinking, etc. Personally, I like the idea of being able to work on your subconscious mind in this kind of indirect, relaxing way, where you can just listen to an audio before / during your sleep. But the idea that I am just letting my mind be programmed by somebody else, even if it's being programmed with positive mindsets, kind of bothers me. Shouldn't we take control and more proactively dig into our minds to deconstruct all the bullshit inside and align them with Truth? Or am I being too idealistic about it? What do you guys think? P.S. This question also applies to all kinds of affirmations, subliminal messages, and other stuff like this.

Focus and Calm Stack (6–8 weeks): L-Theanine: Daily (optional on rest days). Lion’s Mane: Daily. Bacopa Monnieri: Daily. Ashwagandha: Daily or 5 days on, 2 days off. Optional Psilocybin Microdosing: Every 2–3 days (e.g., Mon, Wed, Fri). Rest Period (2 weeks): Stop all adaptogens (Ashwagandha, Bacopa Monnieri). Continue Lion’s Mane and L-Theanine if desired (these don’t require cycling). Pause psilocybin microdosing during this period to further reset. Rhodiola Rosea Stack (4–6 weeks): Rhodiola Rosea: Daily or 5 days on, 2 days off. L-Theanine: Daily (optional on rest days). Lion’s Mane: Daily (optional for synergy). Optional Psilocybin Microdosing: Every 2–3 days (alternate with Rhodiola-free days if overstimulation is an issue). Rest Period (2 weeks) Repeat Cycle: Return to Stack 1.

@Michael569 thank you

Like when your instincts and your intuition tell you that there is something shady about them, and there are those minor things that make you suspicious, but on the surface they are nice, and you have no real evidence or proof of anything, so you just go along with whatever they are doing. Until it's too late and you are fucked.

Yes

@Kairos I meant dying from a terminal illness that can't be cured in any normal way. This is a plot of a tv show.

@trenton true, although I was asking more about your personal life. @Emerald what if you can't create a distance, what if you need to make a decision and make it quickly? Like what if your friends are dying and there is this woman who can cure them. But in order to do that she needs you to let her in to the house where you and your friends live, and where you know she is forbidden from going, in the middle of the night, so that she can perform a magic ritual. You also have to participate in that magic ritual which involves cutting yourself for blood sacrifice and drinking a suspicious "tea" mixed with blood and different herbs or whatever. You have known this woman for some time now and she is very kind and sweet in general, but sometimes she will avoid answering some of your questions and will ask you to do things that might be pushing some boundaries. Would you go for it or would you just let yourself and your friends die without even trying?

@Rigel japanese sleep on futons not the floor itself. I don't see any physiological benefits or differences to sleeping on the floor vs on the bed frame, you can put any kind of mattress/futon you like on either of them. The advantages of a bedframe are: - your room looks less messy - in case you have carpet floor - the air you breathe will be less dusty - there is an airflow underneath your mattress so it won't get moldy or something like that. The advantage of just a matress on the floor is that you can move it during the day, to have more space. Or even roll it, if it's thin enough. But I don't think this is very useful if you have a giant 160-180cm mattress anyway.

Also, is it bad if one side of the bed is up against the wall? 160cm bed would fit perfectly into my bedrooms corner, and I imagine it would feel really cozy there. My concern is that it will not be big enough, especially for the person who is up against the wall. I imagine most people prefer to sleep with some open space in front / behind of them. I could go for 180cm bed, but I would have to put in the middle of a room, in a perpendicular way, and it will basically take up all the space there is. Leaving just enough of it to get up and walk around the bed / get to the closet, which will be in about 50cm in front of it.

Thanks for sharing. King size is 180, right?

@integral I can sleep through a metal concert blasting in the same room.

@Kairos @Leo Gura no girl

I think I need to go to ikea and test them out.

@Schizophonia I see, thanks.

I have never heard of those. Can you actually by them or is it some niche/restricted stuff?

Have you ever seen the Ip Man movie? I have that image of him and his wife living in this really small house, during the war, sleeping on a tiny bed. This is kind of the vibe I am talking about. It's obviously not the same, but I think smaller bed gives you that "the 2 of you surviving against the whole world" feel. It's kind of romantic.

Yeah, I am leaning towards 180 too, I think. I have a separate living room anyway.

No, that's a joke XD.

Another argument for a smaller bed would be that it will bring you closer as a couple. Will make you more comfortable with each other. Maybe that's a good thing long term.

@Sugarcoat every joke has a bit of a joke to it

@Sugarcoat ?

@Leo Gura yeah, but like if you say that somebody lives in rural texas, you get a certain image of a person (or at least of all the people living there, in general). I feel like this is also the case for vegas, and every other place, really. Do you disagree?

There are many people who are never going to go to vegas because they are not interested, no?
