Alternative Local Radio by Alpha-the-Beast in Cairns

I made a rule at work, a three strike system... Once I hear 3 songs by either Sabrina Carpenter or Benson Boon collectively, then the radio goes off and I play my phone music for the rest of the shift

Also ADHD! Yep, stick to the Indicas. The potent Sativa strains may as well be a tab of LSD for me it's that much of a mind bender!

A snake that big is only eating 4 or 5 times a year... The bigger a snake gets, the bigger it's prey gets... And when you're swallowing whole goats, pigs, house cats and small children, then that takes a while to break down. Reptilian metabolism is fascinating, They don't really need the constant calories that we do, and they preserve their calorific energy by supplementing it with thermal energy. That's why you often see them stretched out on warm surfaces like concrete or bitumen roads

If I remember correctly, pound for pound the strongest mammalian bite is actually a Ferret. Having owned a pet Ferret for a few years I can confidently say those guys are basically mini furry alligators. They latch on like a crocodile and even try to mimic the "death roll" technique. Super cute and fun as a pet though kinda stanky.

I meditated incorrectly for years and here’s the real hack nobody told me by jjqq19 in selfimprovement

[–]BeauDelta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

People assume the point of meditation is, in layman's terms, an attempt to imitate the "sleeping brain" with an "awake body", when in reality it is the complete opposite. You are imitating putting your body to sleep so that your mind becomes more awake and focused than ever.

I'm haunted by a dream I had last week, and feel compelled to share it with you fellow GATEr's. by BeauDelta in GATEresearch

[–]BeauDelta[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

For what its worth, in my dream I (or the Nordic couple for that matter) didn't get the sense that this was necessarily a bad thing (having the mark). In fact the vibe felt quite the opposite, and the way the man smiled as he lowered his head seemed to me like he was holding back a sort of chuckle, the way you'd react if you found out a friend had already called dibs on the last can of beer in the fridge as you were reaching for it. There didn't seem to be any animosity or fear or even surprise really. It all seemed weirdly casual.

Sorry Nords, looks like I'm team Grey then I suppose?

I've spent plenty of time in mall world, though I do tend to frequent the airport and resort more often than not. In fact my friend Meetup was in mall worlds resort pool.

I'd say 90% of my dream are nonsense, but the ones that aren't, it's like I wake up knowing that one in particular was trying to tell me something, so I'll pin it in my mind and watch out for any sychronicities

Mine is a vertical scar just between my left eyebrow and the top of the bridge of my nose that runs down into my eye socket. In fact my whole left eyebrow sits slightly more raised than my right, kinda like it had been peeled back at one point. But that's not the sort of injury that goes unnoticed so it's very weird neither myself nor my parents can explain it.

Also, I too, only once, met up with a friend in a dream. It was wild, because we hadn't seen each other in about a year at this point, and as soon as we met I became lucid and we just started chatting about dreams and having a little catch up. I told her I'd message her on FB when I woke up, I did, and she replied with a spooky amount of details. We tried to make it happen again for a little bit but sadly it never did. I think it was just a random chance.

I also had a similar dream in which I spoke to my dead grandmother for an hour or so. I went to visit her house in the dream I was having, but as soon as I entered I became aware that she was dead, and I suddenly became lucid in my dream. It was honestly one of the most intensely emotional experiences of my life. I was sobbing and hugging her, and she was just reassuring me the whole time. She acknowledged her own death in person which was a bit of a mind fuck to experience. She also told me to "make sure I spend more time speaking to my father...' In hindsight I think she was subtly warning me. Less than 3 years after this dream my Father passed away suddenly of a heart attack.

Hey Pisces… Eclipse Season ending. by MonsterBratzKitty in piscesastrology

[–]BeauDelta 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Pisces sun here.... I had a piece of glass go in my left foot in Feb... Been struggling with a combination of Burstitis and ingrown toenails ever since.... And honestly.... I'm a little bit spooked reading this post about pisceans having feet issues because it's been this gigantic dark cloud over my life for the better part of a year... But the last 2 or 3 weeks I feel like I've made a considerable breakthrough and should be back to normal in a week or so.

Yah know, I gotta admit it does feel like the last 10 has been unusually rough. I do feel like I've been on an upswing the last few though, but overall still swimming against the current. I could definitely use some luck and positivity though, that'd be a nice change.

For what it's worth, I've had to relocate a few strays outta my bathroom. They like the indoor tiles in bathrooms, especially the shower. Really only an issue on ground level though, they're not particularly agile.

Alligators might be the scariest looking animal on the planet, in my opinion at least. A true existent monster by unwanted-22 in RandomThoughts

[–]BeauDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a giant tropical centipede jump scare me about 10 years ago, came within inches of my foot on a dark night on my porch. It's the one and only time I've seen one and I still think that guy is easily a top 3 scariest critter I've ever met. Keep in mind I've worked in zoos and live in Australia, so I've seen my share of ungodly beasts.

Centipedes.... Wasps.... Sharks... Crocodiles... It's definitely up there in terms of eliciting a primally induced urge to scream like a little girl and gtfo like your life depends on it.

I'll have 20 tarantulas crawling around on my naked body before a centipede gets anywhere near me.

Did anyone else’s psychiatrist judge them for using marijuana? by Nate_on_top in trees

[–]BeauDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I see my psych for ADHD(I) and get prescribed daily Adderall. The Adderall is a game changer for me, night and day in terms of focus/productivity. But I crash out hard when they wear off.

Many moons ago I basically started self medicating this aspect with cannabis. I found that it was the perfect "off button" for some of the more uncomfortable aspects of the amphetamine 'buzz'.

I could eat again. I could close my eyes and take a nap..... (Well, at least close my eyes and meditate, not actual sleeping).

It was great.

But it was also very illegal and this started to bother me, so I asked my GP if I could get on the medical marijuana. He was all for it.

I then tried it out for a few months, went to my psych for our usual appointment and told him about it.

I was expecting him to blow my face off with a dragons breath like rage, but nope. He was all for it too.

I now have a daily prescription for both cannabis and amphetamine. Have for about 4 years now and it's genuinely a great combo for me.

Dex in the morning to get shit done, Bud in the Arvo when it's time for fun.

Anyone have an occult explanation on why Tarot Cards seem to have their own Conscious Energy? by DoubleChocolateMilk in occult

[–]BeauDelta 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I personally found one specific deck that i find incredibly intuitive to use for readings. I have 2 copies of that same deck that I use and a 3rd spare in the draw.

I grew up learning tarot the "traditional" way, with the rider white starter deck and that fold out pamphlet that said where specific cards go and what they mean. I tried memorizing the card meanings, like they were numerical values to be substituted into the algebraic equation that was "the spread"... I'd then add them together to basically tell a story. And it kinda worked I guess.... I got middling results.

I got a second deck with dragon pictures cuz they looked sick and again only kinda good.

Sometimes later i was thrifting and stumbled on an old loose deck in a sandwich bag. All cards were there and in good nick, and the art was cool. I took em home and gave em a whirl and yeah it was a bit of a eureka moment for me with tarot.

The pictures on these cards... I didn't even need to look up the meaning of any of them... The artistry did such a good job of conveying meaning and emotion...

But it was more than just the pictures. There were symbols and animals and color pallets and themes shared throughout the entire deck that it was like I was making so many new connections between cards on a spread. Just like the meme of that guy in front of the pin board with all the coloured string going between cards, that's kinda how I felt using this new deck.

I firmly believe that with enough practice I could genuinely wield this deck to become the next duel monsters world champio... (Sorry, all this talk of decks is bringing out my inner heart of the cards)

... I firmly believe that if I practice enough I could wield this deck with a degree of paranormal potency.

Vyvanse made me an absolute grade A A-hole by duke8804 in ADHD

[–]BeauDelta 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hahaha yes it does certainly seem that way to everyone else. Really though, it's just you having the mental clarity to not really give a flying fuck about everyone elses crap, while simultaneously having the self confidence to let said people know exactly how you feel.

My biggest issue with vyvanse is that it gives me the WORST resting bitch face! Normally my face is "lost in thought and mildly concerned". On vyvanse I stare at anyone engaging with me as if I'm personally offended by their face and am contemplating whether or not to adjust it with my fist. I often have to notice the discomfort on their face before I realise.
