I think this is far more important Han people realize. Your gut is your 2nd brain.

Short version is that diet controls are able to provide very large improvements for schizophrenia. That is huge.

Also, being regulate emotions is a big deal, but most people have no idea how to even begin. Mr Rogers talked about it a lot. He was wise. I found a LOT of insight from the book Why Buddhism Is True by Robert Wright. It talks about the evolutionary aspects of emotions as well as some cognitive theory like modular theory of mind: exploringkodawari.blog/modular-theory-of-mind/

There is a lot that most adults just do not know about how they think and feel. They are not at all aware of their emotional states and the cause and effect relationship between external inputs and the emotions that result. To me, this sort of information should be taught to children and all the way through their schooling. I think we would have a lot fewer people who are a tangled up mess as adults.

Mark of the beast.

Nope.

I need this ducky. I need it so bad. Its not fair that I don’t have a ducky of my own.

Stop this. This is how poison like Malort is made. We dont need to create its successor.

It is evidence of how bad life used to be. If that shit was the treat, what was normal food like?!

Those Choceur bars are pretty good. My favorite treat are Droste pastilles but the aldi bars will do.

The world we live in is the choice of the majority.

The majority demand convenience and are willing to sacrifice almost anything to get it. Additionally, we are forced to go places like work, school, etc and with few other means to accomplish this, you get a glut of roads and cars. A lack of transportation options is a choice–usually one by those who profit from the current system. Unless their greed is sated in another way, they will work tirelessly to defend their presumed entitlements. Either that or such greed must be extinguished by societal controls and the priority has to shift to service of the greater good and the will of the people.

The root of the issue must be addressed if anything is expected to change. Cars are a symptom of the problem, not the cause.

I got rawdogged so hard that I’m unemployed now. Went from an utterly crushing pace and workload to nothing. I mean I like not having to work right now, but once the megar severance I got runs out,I will enjoy it a lot less.

Its OK to feel insecure, but lashing out at others is typically frowned upon.

Glad its not just me. I do love the snugs but I get hot. Nobody wants sweaty snugs.
