If you study history you will notice a similar pattern repeating itself over and over again especially in the European history. What Romans did 2000 years ago is not that different to how British treated people of India and Oceania and not different to how Hitler treated people in Eastern Europe. Our technology has evolved by as humans our mindsets are pretty much similar in that most people are driven by wealth, power and status. Instead of hitting brick walls with Trebuchet we now hack each other's websites, lead pseudointellectual debates and launch airstrikes on civilian objects in the name of democracy and freedom. But we haven't really changed that much. The motive of greed, deception and manipulation are the same.I find it fascinating that the more I study european history the more of these similarities are popping up. If everything seems pointless you may as well just sit on a couch 24/7. Maybe it would make for a nice life but enlightened or not, there is a lot of fascinating stuff to explore even if in the grand scheme of things nothing make sense you still have to spend your time doing something for the next 80 years. Find a way to serve the humanity in the most meaningful way.

Not really. There are few benefits of red wine in tiny amounts but I believe there is a long-term cost of drinking even small amounts. Alcohol damages microbiome, separates tight junctions of the gut, depletes glutathione, damages mitochondria and messes up with central nervous system. If you still need it i'd at least stick to some high quality vine possibly from organic produce but if you want the benefits of resveratrol find some good red grapes and bunch of berries

that's it! "I am here to serve those who need me."

damn, that is A GOAL. What's your business if I may ask?

What's the rest of your diet, exercise, lifestyle like? A good diet and active lifestyle can provide you with more energy and drive than a cup of coffee every hour. Just saying Green tea is probably the best alternative if you are looking for something with exceptional health properties and a mildly stimulating effect. Yerba Mate tea may be nice as well.

ofcourse I deleted my last comment as it was more heated than I intended it to be. There is always a remedy if you get mistreated and we can revoke penalty points that were given wrongly. Since none us are "professional mods" we are bound to make mistakes at some point

I did not have you in mind Preety no need to take everything personally. I have seen people (not you) report ridiculous things They get banned from visiting the forum forever under this account. They can still create a new account of course and can still view content under anonymous. You will not see people who get banned in your notifications.

I don't want it to sound like mods are some sort of dam here but you guys would see many more trolls popping up here if all of us stopped banning them. Some of them are clever before we find them but I'd say around 20-30 trolls a week are banned and kicked out. They get their access blocked completely. But secondly, we rely on everyone else to help us by reporting trolls. Any user can report a suspicious account and we will investigate, Anytime someone reports, each case is considered individually and taken care of even if you don't get a response although we like to respond to people who report trolls where we can. A lot of people have a huge victim mindset and report other users for childish offences. There are loopholes and many bots have crawled around, some for weeks but generally, the team is working fairly well to catch the majority of offenders. In terms of users who were banned, there would have been a warning. Many of them. We work on 20 point system and a typical offence awards you 1-3 points so you would have to be ignorant for a very long time repeatedly. Anybody who gets banned through getting 10 warnings deserves to be kicked out

drop this shit, there is no such thing as alpha male only a harem of immature boys chasing their own tails

anaemic, polluted and fat

Hey, just found your journal. Wanted to wish you all the best on the healing journey. PCOS is not nice but I think it can be dealt with by taking great control of your diet. Thought I'd add a few helpful tips If this is not encouraged, please delete anytime, no offence taken. 1. I'd definitely recommend eating brassica vegetables every day. They are incredible for balancing your oestrogen elimination. When you prepare them, chop them first then set aside for 15 minutes to allow for the formation of Indole-3-Carbinol and Sulforophane. All brilliant stuff for female hormone balance and liver health (sex hormones are made here as well) 2. A good set of probiotics to support microbiome so that eliminated oestrogens aren't reabsorbed 3. Miso soup (home-made) daily reduces the effect of beta-glucuronidase, a type of enzymatic bacteria that "reopens" a detoxified oestrogens 4. Myo-Inositol improves blood sugar balance and insulin signalling. This can make a tremendous difference to you. 5. Tofu or tempeh several times a week has beneficial phytoestrogenic effects that help your oestrogen receptors rebalance their oestrogen docking. Very very beneficial in case you have a bit of oestrogen dominance (or lack thereof) 6. Flax seeds (2tbsp ) ground, daily. 7. Also I'd be very careful with oils. Good fats from nuts, avocado, seeds, some eggs and olive oil but defitely careful with animal fats and cheap plant oils, they damage blood sugar balance, a key factor in PCOS 8. for breakfast try something with slower glucose release for better blood sugar balance. Something like buckwheat with berries, banana, nuts and seeds. The insulin response is gentle and much better than for example a toast (even gluten-free) Good luck!

It may be worth considering getting an endoscopy just to check if there isn't any ulcer in the stomach on duodenum. But you may need a specialist approach here doesn't seem like something that a single herbs is going to fix.

I watched Radbrat play it but didn't like what I saw. The combat does not feel alright, the fights are all the same, you try to hack stuff and if it doesn't work you are shooting everyone with guns that suck so you have to waste a whole magazine on a single dude. The graphics and motion capture are insane but the playability seems to suck. If you want an intricate shooter with a deep story that will bring you to tears as the story evolves try Metro Exodus. I was never a fan of the Metro series but this one was wonderful. The playability is the best I've seen in a shooter. Beautiful graphics, detailed environment, amazing combat experience that feels very natural and organic.

you got it all in there !

Are you holding on to anything? Do those objects, memories help you avoid pain? Lot of people are hoarding objects as a form of addiction or escapism. There is nothing wrong with having sentimental moments and keeping around reminders of happy times as long as they don't burden your soul to a point that they prevent you from growing spiritually.

I have pondered this many times. While we have no practical tools to measure this or research methods I do believe that certain foods have frequencies and these can get taken in your body. Where fruits and vegetables are high frequency, dead foods like meat and processed grains are low frequency fods. I still don't know to what degree I believe in this or not, just kinda entertaining the thought. In a more biochemical way, the animal would have peak levels of adrenaline and cortisol at the time of their death and we know that receptors for stress hormones are positioned nearly in every tissue. In muscle tissue high density of catecholamine (adrenaline, noradrenaline etc) receptors are present. So is it possible that those stress hormones are still present in the steak? Possibly yes, dunno but I wouldn't discount it. For me personally, I feel lighter on plant foods but I am genetically well adapted to high carb diets (tested myself) so others may need more fatty diets or heavier meaty ones. We are all unique blends of biochemistry and energetics

attracting too many bots, closing down. @GroovyGuru hit me up if you'd wish to have this reopened

@Preety_India I agree with some of your points and disagree with some as well. I think you have to consider that us mods are still regular human beings and we are prone to making many mistakes before we learn how to "police" the forum in a just and fair manner. Especially those of us who are still new to this. It is possible we have banned few people who were not necessarily spammers? Yes possible. We come from different countries, cultures background and upbringing and all of this we take on when we evaluate what action to take. Where one of us would give mere message warning , another would shoot 10 warning points because we have a different moral compass. Many of us are 4-8 hours spread apart in different time zones, that impacts how we work as well. At the same time there is a lot of stuff going on that regular users often don't see and without mod policing you'd soon be offered sex product, viagras, sex toys, drugs, cocaine and all sort of crap from bots across the world. Can a "civilian" be hit in the mids of this crossfire? Yes definitely! Should you at any time feel one of us treated you unfairly...or anyone reading this. Please reach out to another moderator in confidence and ask for a second opinion.

Maybe adjust the dose?

@Enlightenment This is for MAJOR depression thou. That's the suicidal type where people unless sedated, can end up taking their life. For MDD antidepressants work well. The problem is that most people suffer from mild-to-moderate depression. Research shows that when compared with placebo even the most effective antidepressants like fluoxetine actually don't produce a lot of long term results. And when compared with herbs like St John's Wort, Saffron or 5-HTP there is actually very little difference (for mild or moderate). None of the herbs are effective for major depression thou. I think generally the drugs are used so that the doctors cover themselves in case the patient tries to kill themselves. If you, as a doctor, don't prescribe antidepressants and the patients commits suicide, you will lose license and can end up jailed if they prove that it was your fault. This is basically why all these toxic drugs are prescribed very often. Same for statins and diabetes drugs. Most of it is medical system covering itself and creating a sense that there is no other solution. A lot of people take these drugs for years and nobody ever investigated. It becomes part of their life, they learn to associate with the disease and they become the disease. I don't know if you ever knew a depressed person but they become The disease. The anxiety becomes the centre of their life and they will not let you help them even if you want to. This is partially why working with mental health is extremely difficult because most people don't believe it can be treated.

I totally agree with you. People are panicking because they feel helpless. If the government was handing out vitamin D free tests along with a free prescription for vitamin D for those with deficiency and a multivitamin complex to people along with some guidelines around hydration, eating, exercising, some guided stress releasing exercises that would be way way way more helpful than creating a herd of vaccinated sheep.

a clean high-quality wild-caught salmon (not the orange pale sick one but the dark red one) does have quite a lot of beneficial properties. Besides loads of DHA and EPA you have high density of mitochondria, lots of carnitine, creatine, carnosine, iron, B-vitamins and other things. Maybe not a nootropic as just giving your cells a lot of balancing essential nutrients. But I agree, too expensive to consume regularly. Also loads of tryptophan that convert to melatonin or serotonin while sitting on your GABA receptors will do that

Any sort of online tutoring or teaching of mental skills etc. Language teaching, math sessions. Not sure what skills you have? You can also sell stuff online as a middle man. That can supposedly earn nice money

Awesome stuff guys!! Didn't expect so much engagement. Well done ya'll. Mine would be to find and focus on second area of my professional development. For now it seems either life coaching or CBT Second goal is to be able to leave my 9-5 job next year. Keep them coming. I love to read these stories.

putting some solid work into your self-development, good stuff man !!
