I'm not gonna even consider diet advice from someone making ? ?? faces in their thumbnails lmao

Lately I'm starting to wonder how much value I'm really providing by responding to posts on the forum. A thread stays up for a week or two, then it's gone forever into obscurity. Maybe a couple of people will find the stuff I've written again through the search feature over the years. But the posts are pretty much lost to time. It seems like a waste to offer timeless advice that just fades away. So I'm thinking about writing a manifesto. That's kind of a controversial word, but I like it. The word manifesto gets a bad reputation from people who have released them in the past and then done violent or unlawful things. But there doesn't necessarily need to be anything extreme about one. That's not my intention. Wikipedia defines a manifesto as: "A published declaration of the intentions, motives, or views of the issuer, be it an individual, group, political party or government. A manifesto usually accepts a previously published opinion or public consensus or promotes a new idea with prescriptive notions for carrying out changes the author believes should be made. It often is political, social or artistic in nature, sometimes revolutionary, but may present an individual's life stance." Look at The Communist Manifesto for example. Even the athletic apparel company lululemon has their own manifesto. My manifesto will attempt to contain the sum of my knowledge, experience, and opinions. As well as the direction that I think the world should move in. It's largely going to be a stage orange self-help instructional document on business, making money, etc. As well as philosophical points and a general overview of my political beliefs and thoughts about how the world works. Plus mistakes and pitfalls I've made (and continue to make) that should be avoided. I'm going to try to account for future events 20+ years from now and write it in a way that it'll still be useful to people in a generation as well, or just make it fairly timeless information. The Lindy Effect: The idea that the older something is, the longer it’s likely to be around in the future. If writing forum posts are like Twitch livestreams that disappear a week or two after they're broadcasted, a manifesto would be more like making Youtube videos that people can come back to years or perhaps decades into the future. Maybe I'll even create an NFT domain for it so it can live on the blockchain forever. My writing is simply too valuable to let it be so ephemeral. That sounds extremely egotistical and narcissistic, but it's true. What you think has value, and you should probably make your own manifesto too. It also seems like a good journaling exercise. At the end, I'll have everything that sums up who I am as a person in a single neat little package. I write for a living, so I know the value of my writing. Each of my words are worth $0.15+ each and if I'm honest, I'm really undervaluing myself. When I make a well-thought-out 300-word forum post, I'm basically donating something worth $50 to you. My manifesto is going to be a free gift to the world. If it ends up being 100,000 words long, then I value it at around $15,000 USD. It means a lot to me, my soul is going to go into it. A lot of work, thought, and effort goes into something that big. And right now my plate is already pretty full. Realistically I probably won't start substantially working on the manifesto until next year. Maybe just laying out general sections of what I want to include and taking notes for now. It's definitely going on my list of goals for 2023 though. If I write it for 4 hours a week, then it can probably be done by the end of 2023 (not including editing and formatting.) I'm hoping to cut back on posting on the forum a bit in the meantime. Unless it's to provide someone with time-sensitive information that I think will help improve their life, and that they'll actually take to heart. Or posts that I've consciously structured in a way that I can save them to re-use in the manifesto, as part of something that I would've wanted to explain anyway. (This shit's addictive though, as evidenced by all the people "quitting" and coming back the next day. So don't be surprised if I'm still around either and try to hold me to it LOL. This is not an "I'm quitting" post, it's a re-evaluating priorities post. Sometimes I'm still going to make dumb choices and resort to mud-slinging for my own entertainment.) I need to start valuing my time and writing more highly though. I'm throwing away thousands of dollars in words every week and they largely fall on deaf ears or only get a passing glance. The manifesto will serve as a tool for my grandchildren and great grandchildren to get a window into my life, what I thought and felt, and the time period that I lived in. Hopefully educating them and saving them from having to learn a few things the hard way themselves. Especially on topics that we aren't going to be allowed to talk about in another decade, which will only be passed down and kept alive family member to family member, the silencing is already starting now. Strangers will be free to use my manifesto if they think for some reason I'm worthy of being a mentor, or have something insightful to share. I want to let the information flow into this document completely freely in a totally unfiltered and even in a slightly unhinged way. I think a tinge of insanity with a whole bunch of truth is what makes a good manifesto. It'll also be therapy for me to put it all to paper. So it may be very offensive and sacrilegious in some sections. I may need to make a SFW version that I can publish within the next few years. And then have an uncensored version on a dead man's switch that will only be released upon my death. Some of the stuff I want to say might not be allowed in a couple years, so I might have to wait to say it until after I'm dead to avoid consequences. Or maybe that's cowardly and I should just speak my truth regardless of the consequences... we'll see. It's incredibly egotistical of me to think anybody out there cares, or will really be looking forward to reading such a thing. I could've just not said anything for the next 2 years and then released it when it was done. But idk, it feels like the right thing to put the idea out there for now. I will try to update and post some little sneak peaks of the manifesto here as chapters are completed.

It won't necessarily spoil anything, but you won't get anything out of it either. It's addressing questions people have after taking the course and clarifying things. It just won't have any relevance to you if you haven't done the exercises. Instead of watching 2 hours of FAQs, you can go watch the whole Intro section in just a little bit more time instead. The intro videos are inspiring and might give you what you need to actually go all the way through, and make you feel like you're making the right choice.

I don't think that being forced to do things or lack of power inherently makes you depressed or anxious. I'll make a very controversial statement here... I hypothesize that medieval serfs working for a feudal lord, and even literal slaves probably had lower incidents of depression than what modern people experience today. If you wake up and do hard manual labor all day, and you never received higher education, you don't have the time or luxury to sit around and think. When you're done work for the day, you're physically exhausted. All you want to do is rest and spend time with your family. There's no point worrying about anything. Things can't get much worse. And you don't have the energy to do anything extra even if you wanted to. The problem is in modern times, we have so much to lose. All we've ever known is safety and security. We have hours and hours every day to sit around idle and think. Most of the work we do is with our brains, and our bodies don't get the physical exertion that is needed to release brain chemicals and feel good. Men might be mentally healthier and stronger if they were doing back-breaking labor plowing the fields and tending to livestock all day, living a subsistence living, and having to put their life on the line to defend their village from invaders every few years. Women might be mentally healthier and stronger if they were married off (or taken) at age 13 and had 6 kids to chase after all day, spent all day cooking over a fire, and trying to turn a dirt hut into a home.

Risk of negative effects from getting it is quite low, but the benefits for your case are also pretty low at this point. If you're healthy, not overweight, not immunocompromised, and you rarely leave the house, then even if you catch covid it will most likely be mild or asymptomatic. You say your bf and flatmate had it and you didn't catch it. It's highly contagious... unless you got tested and it came back negative, I'd say it's more likely than not you had covid-19 and were just asymptomatic. For the Pfizer shot, it takes about 2 weeks to build your immunity. Just one shot only gives you about 82% protection. You can't get the second shot for 3 - 4 weeks afterward. Then I believe there's another dip in protection for a week or two after the second shot. Also after 6 months, the effectiveness of the vaccine starts to wane. The Pfizer shot is only half as effective after 6 months. The Johnson&Johnson vaccine drops to 13% effectiveness after 6 months. A 4th covid wave is probably coming this summer, so it might be worth the added layer of protection. If you were going to have a massive change in lifestyle where you started working in retail or something where you interact with the public every day then I think getting the shots would be worth it. But if you're going to mostly stay at home and only interact with 2 or 3 people, then I think the benefit is minimal.

Seems like quite a comprehensive list. I wouldn't have thought of most of those. Just competition/jealousy is probably reason enough.

Maslow's hierarchy seems like as good a place to start with any. Start with the bottom row - Air, water, food, shelter, sleep, clothing. Sounds like you have these fairly well covered. Next up safety - personal security, employment, resources, health, property. It sounds like this is the first place to start doing some work, particularly in regards to employment. Next love and belonging - friendship, intimacy, family, sense of connection. Then you can worry about Self esteem, respect, freedom,etc I don't know if one is necessarily a prerequisite for the next though. I think you can make friends in your spare time while looking for a job. You seem to have a lot of negative self-talk going on, and negative opinions of yourself. If you think negative things, then don't be surprised when you get negative results. Try to be positive and optimistic for a week and see what happens. Especially don't let yourself be negative about yourself. Don't let your insecurity and embarrassment dictate how you think people will respond, before you even give them a chance. Be vulnerable with new people. Share your weaknesses with them, how you haven't been able to keep down a job, etc. You might be surprised at how understanding and supportive most people actually are. Don't tell yourself that you suck or that you can't do anything. Maybe you just weren't a good fit for those past jobs. Leave past jobs in the past, and look at new jobs as a clean slate and a fresh chance to prove yourself. I listened to this today and it sounds like it might be relevant for you:

That poor guy, earning $25M from kicking a ball around and then having to see a teenager call him a slur online. I don't know how he's ever going to recover. Not a cyber crime, more like indecency laws. Not the first time or a recent thing, this is just the UK's archaic and restrictive laws in action. Here's the same thing happening in 2012: https://www.itv.com/news/tyne-tees/update/2012-03-21/racist-tweets-community-service-order-for-student/ 2013: https://www.sportsmole.co.uk/diving/team-gb/london-2012-olympics/news/homophobic-abuse-towards-daley-was-prank_37422.html As far as I know, it's actually getting worse instead of better in the UK. They've passed laws since then about "intimidating politicians" and other things which are so vague that they can basically arrest you for making fun of a politician on Twitter. That's just in one city. It's bad enough that it was a consideration when deciding whether I wanted to spend the rest of my life in the UK or to move back to Canada. Limitations on speech, "oi 'ave u got a loicence for that TV", having to show ID to buy glue, or chocolates with alcohol in them. It's an absolute nanny state. I ONCE GOT ASKED FOR ID WHEN BUYING PLASTIC CUTLERY IN THE UK. Almost nowhere in the world except America actually has freedom of speech. Canada is better than the UK but still far from what the US has. Freedom of Expression is a thing in our Charter. But there are still "reasonable" limits like obscenity and defamation that are still restricted. If it was up to me, I think the only limitations on speech should be incitement of violence or threats of violence.

Unless you're doing your own primary research, you're always relying on others. There are too many subjects out there for the average person to become a well-informed expert, and for many it's just not practical or useful. When you do a Google search, it might feel like you're finding your own answers and solutions. But all of the information you find has been formulated by someone else. What you really need to develop is critical thinking, rationality, and the ability to analyze information. Then you can rely on others but still have a high degree of certainty that their solutions are right. When you're presented with an answer or solution, always re-examine it for potential blind spots or bias. Especially if the answer seems good and like exactly what you want to hear. You'll never be totally self-reliant. But you can learn to identify high-quality research and information. Then you can determine for yourself if it's better to take NASA's word or a flat earther Youtuber on whether the earth is round or not. An extreme example for illustration purposes. You can start off at that level, and then work down to more nuanced things like what the proper human diet is, or what's really going on with the Russia-Ukraine situation.

MGTOWs aren't going to help you with loneliness. They're lonely and jaded people. Incels are people who have never had relationships. In contrast, vast majority of MGTOWs are divorced dads who got screwed by the court for child support / alimony and are now super bitter at women. Anybody who tries to jump straight to MGTOW without having had a negative experience in a long-term relationship is just a coping incel, thinking they're making a conscious choice to avoid women instead of not being able to get them. I think I've heard you talk negatively about Discord in the past, but honestly, Discord. If you aren't going to go out and meet people, it's the easiest and most convenient option. Find a positive community based around something that interests you, and talk to those people. Instead of wasting your time talking to bitter MGTOWs that will only make you more negative. There is a Discord server for pretty much anything. Most Discord servers have a general chat where you can just chat with whoever is online, and you'll have a common interest that binds you to all the people there. You don't have to constantly catch up with it. Just log in when you get lonely and chat for a while, then get off. In even a medium-sized server, there are always at least a couple other people online to chat with. The real-time instant messaging of Discord is a lot closer to IRL socialization than talking on forums, I think. You actually get a back-and-forth conversation a couple sentences at a time, instead of responding to big walls of text.

I'm in the middle of the Millennial age range. I bought a home at the end of 2017, otherwise I think I'd be pretty screwed and unable to afford a house if I had waited even just a couple more years. In 5 years it's now worth 2x - 3x what I paid for it. It's not possible to save a down payment now when the price of houses goes up $100k every 6 months or so. It's not just EU, it's a global problem at the moment. Even owning a home that's rapidly increasing in value doesn't get me ahead. It just pegs me at the market price if I ever wanted to trade up to a slightly nicer home. Although that's better than having no option but to rent. If you're in your 20s, I don't know if there's an easy option right now. I think "The Great Reset" is coming but not in the way it has been portrayed. We're at the start of a bad and unavoidable recession that might become a depression. Everyone from the poor to the upper class is going to get wiped out by inflation, and set back on an even playing field. Only the elite will maintain their wealth, and then they'll probably buy up everything after the crash for pennies on the dollar. You can try to maintain your current wealth from inflation with Bitcoin or gold, so you can buy after the crash, but even this is a big risk to take as somebody without much who's just getting by. Prepare to suffer for the next 5 years or so until things start to improve again. It doesn't matter which politician gets in next, things too powerful are in motion now and things will just have to play itself out. This is a cycle that has to happen. So take the most pessimistic approach and look at what skills and techniques helped people survive during The Great Depression. If you have that knowledge you can survive in any situation. If things don't get as bad as I'm predicting, you'll still be more independent and in a good spot. Realize that money is only 1 of the 8 forms of capital. If you aren't in a position where you can get financial capital right now, there are 7 other kinds of wealth you can build: Learn a valuable skill. Network with people in your community and build relationships. Focus on just surviving and getting by for the next couple of years. I just bought 10 lbs of potatoes for about $6 and I'm currently letting them sprout under the sink for the next month. Then I'm going to plant 30+ potato plants in my backyard so I'll have 100+ lbs of potatoes to store next fall when things are even worse than now. Biden is telling you that food shortages are coming. World leaders don't make statements that pessimistic unless they have to. Don't think he's bluffing or exaggerating. You probably have another 6 months where the stores are full and prices aren't through the roof. Even if you have a limited amount of money, start buying a couple extra packs of ramen or cans of vegetables for harder times that are coming. In the meantime, learn at least 1 valuable skill so that you're already in a position to start earning a 6-figure income (or post-inflation equivalent) once the next golden age of prosperity comes. It will be dark for a while but the sun always comes back through. Ideally learn a few skills, because we might be in a totally different paradigm and it's hard to say what skills will be of most value.

I've got a Quest 2 but I've been pretty busy and maybe only spent about 20 hours in VR so far. Here's my thoughts though... On one hand it feels like a revolutionary groundbreaking new technology. On the other hand it's not quite there yet. There's still a problem with the sheer size and weight of the headsets. I can sit at a computer for 8 hours a day to work. But I can't wear a VR headset for 8 hours without major discomfort. Glasses might fix it, but it's more like a halfway solution. It's more augmented reality instead of virtual reality. I think we are still a long ways off from fully immersive VR, where people can devote their entire life to it like Ready Player One, where all their hobbies and how they earn money and socialize is all in this one device. I don't think we are in a VR golden age by any measure yet. And I don't think it's going to greatly benefit humanity as it currently exists. At the moment it's mostly a new medium, like radio, TV, Internet, etc. I don't think VR is going to have substantial negative implications on society as it currently exists. As I mentioned above, the discomfort of the headsets and motion sickness is self-limiting and it's hard for me to see someone getting so addicted they are in VR 8 hours a day and start neglecting real life. Social media is already bad enough that VR won't isolate people that much more than has already happened. Censorship of VR is a big concern for me. As it stands now, if your Facebook account gets banned, you can't use your Quest device (they're going to fix this.) I would rather have a more decentralized version of the metaverse, or several different metaverses that can all interact with each other. I don't think people can make an open source Metaverse in time to beat Facebook though. We lost the "wild west" internet we had in 1999 and VR might be the last chance to reclaim some of that craziness. I think Facebook is taking a pretty big risk. VR has always been a huge failure in the past. The sheer manpower they're throwing at it is impressive, but I still give it only like a 25% chance of really taking off in a huge way within the next 5 - 10 years. In their big Meta announcement video, I think they said there are basically like 10 separate huge problems that need to be solved simultaneously before it can really go mainstream. Biggest thing for me is that VR seems like an insane insane insane insane opportunity to make money. If/when it does take off, there's going to be a huge wealth transfer. And there are already at least dozens of ways to extract value from VR. VR is going to make so many millionaires. For programmers, artists, videographers, and all kinds of creative types. Right now VR games aren't that great, they're about as easy to make as regular PC games, and there is very little competition. Designing and selling assets/items is going to be huge. Designing and selling rooms or houses or worlds in VR is going to be huge. I started learning 3D modeling at the end of last year but I've put it back on hold for now, because I think there are probably 2-3 years before I can really put it to use. So I'm working on some other stuff in the short term, then I plan to pick 3D design back up and make an easy million in VR once things really blow up. In the past, you spend time making one chair, then you have to sell that chair and start all over again, buy more wood, etc. In VR there are 0 input costs or expenses, you design the perfect chair once, and then you can sell infinite copies while you sleep, with no extra work or expense except a small transaction fee. Designing VR items in 2025 will be the equivalent of writing ebooks for Amazon Kindle Direct Publishing in 2007. Or ranking websites in 2000. There is insane opportunity coming. Start building the skills now if you want to take part. You don't have to even get involved with VR yourself, you can just design assets in Blender and sell them to these future VR degenerates. Although from the limited time I've spent with art tools in VR, creating stuff within VR itself makes things 10x easier. In a couple years these tools will be idiot-proof (they're already almost there) and the only limitation will be your imagination. Look at everything through the lens of money. VR is maybe the biggest money-making opportunity our generation will get besides buying Bitcoin in 2009.

With someone new or early in a relationship, energized and a drug-like high. Dopamine vs serotonin vs endorphins, I don't know which one or how to distinguish, but probably some or all of those being released in high amounts. Less stressed or anxious for the rest of the day, more laid back and easy-going. Even pain or discomfort reduction. In a long term relationship, mostly just relaxed after. Similar feeling to the relaxation of taking a really deep breath, but sustained for an hour or more. Lose the drug-like effect that makes it feel like everything in the world is okay.

If war reaches Germany, then it's a world war at that point. Every country in the EU will be involved. Australia will probably also be at war with China. So there won't really be a good or stable place on earth to be at that point. I did a similar visa called the Youth Mobility Program to move from Canada to the UK for 3 years and it was definitely an experience worth having. Regardless of what country you go to, I think it'll really grow you as a person. Personally I'd go with Germany over Australia since you know the language, and how strict Australia was with covid lockdowns. Since I'm in Canada I can't really get a good unbiased perspective. Seems like the safe but boring option. For your dating life I think Germany would be best, although I don't know how Germans perceive foreigners. In Canada and Australia I feel like people will be just neutral about it. Maybe in Germany it'd be more of an asset. Otherwise I'd agree with the people above that it'd be harder unless you have "foreign-ness" as something to set you apart. People in Germany do seem more cold and distant, same as Scandinavian countries. But I imagine once you get into a group they're just as warm and friendly as anyone else. It's just breaking through. Are there any other countries like Japan that you can get a similar visa for?

You're missing a very obvious third option

Where time runs backwards: https://www.independent.co.uk/tech/anti-universe-time-backwards-cpt-symmetry-b2040200.html Thoughts? Groundbreaking discovery, or scientists now having to go to greater and greater lengths and crazier theories to try and explain how reality works under the scientific model?

Yeah this is why I think most art (and the mindset of most self-aggrandizing ego-centric artists) is garbage. You can make art that you enjoy AND other people enjoy. Art is supposed to be expressive. What's the point of expressing yourself if no one ever sees it, or would even want to see it? It's like spending your whole life writing hundreds of speeches that you never plan to give. Speeches (and art) are meant to be delivered and enjoyed by people. Maybe It can be used solo as a form of self-therapy I guess, that's about it. I guess my values are just so different that I can't conceptualize why someone would sacrifice everything to live in squalor, masturbating over their own art, thinking they're some kind of genius.

I'm straight and I think both male and female genitalia are pretty gross, so consider that as a possibility. That the sweaty part of your body kept unaired in your pants all day that you also piss out of might just be gross in general. I guess dicks are a little less gross because it's all external with less folds to collect gross stuff. But I dont really have a desire to put my mouth on either

I've felt the release of dopamine and other chemicals from interacting with people. And I feel a sense of loyalty to some of the people I have a history with or where the relationship is mutually beneficial. That's about it. When you get down to it, I think that's all most people mean when they say love. Otherwise it wouldn't be so easy to hurt people you supposedly love. I still tell my SO I love her most days, mostly only reciprocally if she says it first. Why bother arguing semantics. Would I still feel the same if I had to sit next to her while she dies of cancer for years, bald and gradually getting more and more sickly and emaciated. Probably not. I'd still do it though, it's just part of the contract. Would I give my life for her if it really came down to it, probably not. I think most people who claim they would, would have a change of heart when the situation happened. Talk is easier than action. Maybe I'd give my life for my kid from a utilitarian perspective, I've experienced about all I can out of life and they have so much more potential and unlived life.

MrGirl is a hardcore atheist, it'd be a super boring and pointless conversation. He wouldn't be open to even considering most of the ideas that Leo would present. He's 100% sure there is nothing after death. Best you're gonna get is a boring convo. Worst case a Dr K style smear about how everyone here wants to kill themselves and some people have actually done it and Leo has blood on his hands too, and how it's a DMT cult. Plus I just don't want to see my 2 dads fight

What's the worst that's going to happen, they fire you? LOL If you want to avoid burning bridges (you want to use your boss as a reference for a future job, or to have a chance to come back to this job if nothing else works out) -- Then suck up the 10 minutes of discomfort and have the conversation. Just knock on your boss' door when they seem not busy and ask if you can talk to them for a minute. Or schedule a meeting with them depending what kind of job it is and how formal it is. If you want to kind of chicken out and go halfway in between, you can just write a formal resignation letter in an email and send it. But they are inevitably going to talk to you at some point unless you send the email and then never come back. If you are so avoidant that you have no other option, just ghost your employer and stop coming in. Try to line this up with when you get paid to avoid the risk of not getting paid for some days you worked.

This is just a cope of artistic people who are bad with business/money and too lazy to learn. Either that or deep down they realize that realistically they aren't good enough to make money, and this is their excuse to never even try. You don't have to "sell out" but you can't just make whatever you want and expect everything to work out either. If you're a good writer, take a look at what genre and type of book the market actually wants write now, and then write that. Suck it up for 2 or 3 years and pump out some quality novels. Then when you have enough passive money coming in and an audience built up, you can write whatever obscure magnum opus you want and people will read it. If you're really a talented musician, sell out and make some pop music for a couple years. It's just following a formula, it's easy. Then you can retire and do whatever obscure Yoko Ono shit you want for the rest of your life. You have your whole life to do "true art" aka selfish art. The kind of art that no one except you wants or needs, and the path where maybe a couple dozen people ever see your work. But if you insist on being an egotistical self-aggrandizing artist "sticking to your principles" you're always going to be broke and a loser. The art of most people doing "true art" sucks. Most people doing "true art" lack the discipline to ever create something truly great. Most people making "true art" take 5+ years to put out a single painting or novel or album. Don't even think of yourself as an artist. Think of yourself like a tradesman like a carpenter or something. Treat your art like a trade. You have to put in the hours and hard work. Pretend you're working for a company and you need to have something to show the progress you've made at the end of the day or week.

Almost no mental illnesses are terminal. Terminal doesn't just mean life-long. The only mental illnesses that are terminal I can think of are Dementia / Alzheimers and severe depression (the latter assuming suicide is pretty much inevitable.) If you're defining a terminal mental illness as just one you've got for life, that's most of them. Schizophrenia, autism, anxiety. Depends on the severity of it I guess. I guess technically I'm already probably living with multiple terminal mental illnesses according to this definition, but not bad enough that I want to bother seeking help. I guess the first steps would be therapy and medication.

Talk to your dentist first and ask them what to do. You don't need "new age" or unorthodox techniques if you aren't doing the basic things proven by science yet. Brush when you wake up and before you go to bed Floss before going to bed. Order of operations: Floss, mouth wash, brush with fluoride toothpaste. Don't rinse your mouth out with water after brushing so the fluoride stays on your teeth for a couple hours. You can get a Opti-Rinse 0.2% remineralizing fluoride rinse and use it once a week. Chew gum containing xylitol (eg. Pür brand) and use xylitol as a substitute for sugar and other sweeteners in your diet. (Prevents, stops and reverses cavities.) Get a water pick in addition to regular flossing. Will quickly undo gingivitis. Tongue scraper Eat a low acidity diet (look up a list of low acid foods and eat those. Look up high acid foods and dont eat those.) Rinse with warm saltwater once and a while especially if your gums are red. If you want to skip all mentions of fluoride above to avoid calcifying your pineal gland or w/e be my guest. Personally I'd rather not have cavities and be a little less awake or whatever the claim is. Your drinking water probably already contains fluoride unless you're filtering it anyway.

You're gonna need to define what you mean by both manifestation and lucid dreaming, because you totally lost me when you put lucid dreaming in brackets. Those two things have nothing in common
