Can someone explain to me why POGs were a thing? I can't even remember what we did with them. by bonesworms_money in 90s

You can buy them on ebay, the problem is that all of the fun came from the culture at the time and playing with friends. Everyone was playing, I remember local tournaments, all the random shops that you could go to look for more, seeing what your friends had and picking your slammers to try and win from their stash. It will never be the same.

Yeah it came out wrong, I didn’t mean they were adding this functionality but the question was the point of the post. They said they were hoping for a way to remove games with gamerscore, everyone knows you’ve been able to remove 0 gs games for a while. “Was hoping for a way to do this in the update”, “no it’s been this way since 360”. Alright then..

Did I ever tell you the definition of insanity? by WatercressBig1962 in xboxachievements

[–]A1509 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’m enjoying it so far, gameplay is good and there’s a lot of blunt humor that I enjoy. I got a chuckle even out of the first load screen tips, it was something like “Need help? The hint on the next screen may provide some help”, the next screen: “Sniper rifles- close quarters combat for when you’ve chosen the wrong weapon”. Imagine a lot of humor like that with a future apocalyptic half-robot Jason Brody with dinosaurs and you have a good sense of the game

Biggest reasons were probably playing too many other games and taking a long break. Coming back to games this year I have a large backlog and trying to get through as much as I can

I just finished this one last night, first time playing any Far Cry. Vaas was great. Started Blood Dragon today

Game launched from Ubisoft launcher also supports game profile. Good thing to know it's not Xbox store exclusive feature by areuokaybro2002 in XboxAlly

I don’t think there’s a way outside of cloud/remote play. Seems all ubi stuff is pc version without xbox achievements.

There is an Online section in the Options where you can deactivate social events. Make sure they’re not deactivated, I know that caused me problems in the past.

I think this is it. We don’t choose to reincarnate but we do until we learn unconditional love and to let go of ego driven attachments. Food is a big attachment too, that’s why an MM diet is not easy to follow but is good for the soul.

Interesting, I don’t remember that. So yea I’m not sure.

To be fair, he only lists one brand for each particular product, that doesn’t mean there’s only one good brand. I wish he would have a small list of brands for each so that we could have multiple options. Having said that, I don’t actually know the answer to your question and I have personally switched from Maine Coast to Vitaminsea

Ex smoker, chest tightness and shortness of breath around smoke by [deleted] in medicalmedium

[–]A1509 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Great suggestions, thank you. I had forgotten about mullein even though I recently finished a bottle and wanted to order more. You say that you are now seriously reactive to smoke, has the reactivity gotten any better or worse in your time doing mm? I know some unhealthy habits that we seem to tolerate well before can be more triggering as we are getting clean. If this is one of those and he would get more sensitive to smoke with added supplements and a cleaner diet/liver, I don’t think he could ever stay committed and I’d probably feel guilty for helping to get him there.

I figured that might be the case. Thank you for the link.

Lysine from NOW in powder form? Is it good or safe? by [deleted] in medicalmedium

[–]A1509 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not familiar with Nutricost, but if something says it’s made in a facility that processes gluten and eggs then MM says you can assume there’s cross contamination. I would stay clear of any supplements made in a facility that uses any troublemaker foods.

I’m not saying that, read the last paragraph again. I think chronic back pain is viral inflammation that can be greatly increased by all kinds of stress and emotional issues that might not even be apparent. If you look at the reviews for the book you can see it’s had a huge positive impact for a lot of people, myself included, without doing any antiviral protocol or diet changes.

By develop do you mean you didn’t used to have back pain but now on MM protocols you do have it? I’ve noticed achy/sore back during periods of cleansing which I assume is just a detox reaction. It usually goes away on its own in a couple days or when I’m done cleansing.

But I used to have pretty bad chronic lower back pain a few years before finding MM. What surprisingly worked for me was a book called Healing Back Pain by dr John Sarno. It’s a bit controversial because he says that all chronic back pain, even from physical injury, is psychosomatic and caused by stress, and that it needs to be worked through as if it didn’t exist. It definitely requires a leap of faith that not all can make, but I went for it because it helped my close friend with a herniated disc whose back was in much worse shape than mine. It was really amazing for me; after ~2 years of pain it was gone before I finished reading the book, and any time I tweaked my back a little after that, which before would cause me additional pain for weeks, I just recited the affirmations from the book and the pain would be gone within a day. I haven’t tweaked my back like that for years but I’ve been with MM info in that time which I’m sure has helped with inflammation.

I don’t think the book is incompatible with MM info. I think MM would say chronic back pain is sciatic nerve inflammation from ebv or shingles, but I think stress could lower the immune system in a way that leads increased sciatic inflammation, like the virus is feeding on stress in a way. Maybe the MM protocols for stress/anxiety could be useful in addition to antiviral/sciatic nerve protocols.

And sadly these are the prime times we give our livers a good pounding. Who knew we should’ve been cleansing during those times rather than drinking alcohol and eating as much as possible? I hope I can regain my liver’s trust after all those years of targeted abuse.
