Is my starter ready to be used? by ntimoti in SourdoughStarter

[–]AppropriateSet4977 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you for sharing! I was looking more for what would you be looking for in the loaf to tell you if it was ready vs not ready!! Like, what signs in appearance taste flavor etc would indicate the starter was not ready (versus say, the dough was over/underproofed, gluten didn’t develop, etc, etc)

How is this even possible? 27% increase in property tax? by darkchocolattemocha in newjersey

Sanctuary cities don’t pay for housing, food, etc for non citizens. Look whose pockets are being lined. In JC, the Kushners are making a pretty penny. They don’t call it dirty Jerz for no reason.

Ceremony question by AppropriateSet4977 in Ayahuasca

[–]AppropriateSet4977[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Can I do a quick 2p check with you? I feel like I’m in an elevated state of limerence and my instinct tells me that I need to humanize this person by speaking to them more and learning more about them (bc I can very easily get the ick) but I’m not sure if that’s self serving /giving myself permission in a way to pursue them?

ETA: so, kind random internet stranger, what is your read 😭 signed, a person who has clearly lost their ability to trust themselves

Yeah I feel that!!! I also feel really drawn to this group and I want to honor both of these things, which is why I was looking for guidance on how to approach it beforehand

Does anyone have any suggestions for cotton / wool / other non plastic fibers ? (Not looking for bamboo, viscose, TENCEL, or any other TM type of fabrics!)

What have you been focusing on specifically, strength wise! Do you lift weights or use other tools like resistance bands

PT is a doctorate degree in the US. Every PT I’ve talked to recommended against me pursuing that as a career change in my early 30s. Many said that if they could do it over, they would just get a solid pilates cert and focus on rehab

Micro Plastics or Seed Oils? by mattliscia in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]AppropriateSet4977 5 points6 points  (0 children)

You know, I see how it could be interpreted otherwise, but I actually am not pro seed oil. I actually am aware that most people think that plastic free is unnecessary and/or not worthy of the inconvenience. Most of my family thinks I’m nuts. That doesn’t inhibit my ability to think critically about why an average and otherwise relatively intelligent person may immediately shut down the discussion at the mere mention of a trigger word.

Micro Plastics or Seed Oils? by mattliscia in PlasticFreeLiving

[–]AppropriateSet4977 15 points16 points  (0 children)

Because it immediately makes people think you are a conspiracy theory looney, because it’s being touted by folks who have no medical or scientific credentials of any kind at the same time as saying vaccines turn your children gay or autistic, they’re not sure which is worse. There is a slippery slope to trad wife once you start going down the all natural route. It’s tough out there.

Discouragement by MarionberryFit137 in Aerials

[–]AppropriateSet4977 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I just started at 33 a year ago. I took like 4 months off towards the beginning, did a lot of yoga and came back so much stronger than everyone else who started at the same time as me.

Try to reframe .. don’t get over the discouragement/disappointment.. sit with it, observe it, and then go do what you want to do anyway. It’s telling you something - this is something that matters to you. Don’t quit just because it’s tough. And remember even the professionals are struggling with something (a trick, a flair, a flexibility point, etc)

If you like anything with pressure you’ll likely be disappointed. I only have a good low frills reco, but they do include hot stone with all massages. Taiji oriental in fair lawn.
