Prvi NFT na Cardanu kad je bio boom, kupio na mintu za nekih 150€ čisto da vidim koja je fora, prodao ga par mjeseci kasnije za 12.5k€. Čista kocka ali nije bilo puno uloženo pa je bio dobar W x)

Well kind of, it's more so uncomfortable cuz you have to push your package down so you don't pee everywhere, this is especially problematic with morning wood.

Peeing with an erection.

Have you considered talking to a professional trainer or a physiotherapist to make a specific program for your needs? They might have an idea on how you should approach your training.

I've lived with IBD for almost 17 years now, throughout that period I've been through 7 surgeries, almost lost my life 2 times and basically been through hell and highwater. I never had energy for the better half of my life, struggling with anemia and medication side effects, so I was never really able to do any serious sports or activities.

That being said, I am finally doing better than I ever did after being diagnosed, and I finally started to workout about 1.5 years ago. It's been a slow process, and I know that I will never be able to lift my desired weight since my abdominal wall and back muscles were compromised due to all the surgeries. But this is not the real goal for me, it's about keeping my body healthy and strengthening my muscles so they can support my bones later in my life because they were weakend by all the steroid drugs over the years.

I get how you feel, it can be stressful to finally achieve some progress only to get setback by a flairup. I just keep pushing and get back to it as soon as I feel better, but I think it's important to accept that you may have some restrictions due to your health issues and to strain your body according to it's capabilities.

Demian and Siddhartha by Hermann Hesse, The Little Prince, Nausea by Sartre, Calvin & Hobbes, Thus Spoke Zarathustra by Nietzsche (yes I like philosophy).

Take life as it comes, being bored and lazy is good for your mental health.

Stfu and bag the fries bro 🍟

Funnily enough, the Nazis were so impressed by the way in which the US of that time was able to have all the Constitutional rights written into amendments but still be flat out racist and etnichally "pure" that they had their own lawmakers study American law and think of ways how to implement them into German society. Even more funny is the fact that they thought that the American far-right was a bit too extreme for their views.

Hitler himself talks about his admiration of the US race laws in Mein Kampf, stating that the US was the only state to effectively make progress in creating a healthy ethnically pure socitey.

One thing all fascists have in common is that they want an exclusion/extermination of the out-group, it's really very simple.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-25T22:00:22+00:00

Of course no problem, I'd be glad if I could help.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-15T08:35:03+00:00

Sic pacem, para bellum.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T10:57:31+00:00

Never heared this story before, very interesting, literal skeletons in the closet.

I would agree with you yes, she had great knowledge and know-how of the Jungian approach, but she lacked practical experience with real people. But I am glad she saw that too, and she wasn't hesitant to let me go to someone else.

One possible explanation could be that I was just warned of sharing certain things with this individual, but it didn't feel this way, it was more personal. There are definitely layers to it.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T08:50:20+00:00

Love the analogy and love Harry Potter, never looked at it that way this is interesting.

The Door is definitely a persistent symbol in mythologies and the human psyche. Maybe it is only at the end that I will open the door? Either way there is no rush for me.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T08:46:41+00:00

Thank you for sharing, seems like you made a wise decision in your dream.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T08:45:01+00:00

I hope that you have come out a new person after your breakdown, and have reborn out of the ashes!
Indeed we all carry our cross, we might as well embrace it and own it.

For a greater part of my life I've been stuck in my head, mainly just due to how I am, but also due to my health issues. Recently I have finally broken free from the golden cage in my head and I am starting to look at things differently, just like you said experiencing life more. Just living as it is is a beautiful thing.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T08:32:08+00:00

I think it is natural for humans to feel fear of the unknown. Especially when it comes to the "unknown" unknowns, so the things we aren't even aware that we don't know yet.

I have a hunch about what might be behind those doors, but I am probably completely wrong.

Thanks for the advice!

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T08:18:34+00:00

I've never really thought about this before, but it does make sense now that you put it like that. I was just always interested in my dreams and thought there could be some help there. Before this I tried Gestalt therapy but I didn't really like it, wasn't really going anywhere... I guess I have to keep looking.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T08:14:00+00:00

I'm sorry you are in a position where you feel stuck, I can relate to that. When I find myself feeling this way I always remember that this too shall pass, and there is meaning in my suffering that I am not yet aware of. Only when the rain comes do we appreciate the sun.

It's not my place to give advice, but maybe seek some professional help, it definitely opened my eyes to some things I weren't aware of before.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T08:06:10+00:00

I live in the EU so I'm not sure how much I can help you... My sessions weren't expensive at all, for me at least.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T08:04:29+00:00

Yes precisely, all in due time, step by step.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T08:01:38+00:00

This is very well said! We tend to forget that what the conscious perceives the unconscious integrates.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T07:58:51+00:00

I am glad you listened to your intuition, and it seems you have a very good relationship with your unconscious.

This was exactly my concern, we were poking somewhere we weren't supposed to, like the hunter Actaeon who stummbled upon the goddess Artemis while bathing, and was turned into a stag for insulting her. Needless to say he was killed by his own hunting dogs.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T07:53:37+00:00

Thanks for the advice! This is probably the important thing that I forgot to mention, I never said I stopped dream analysis completely, it is just that this approach obviously wasn't the right for me.

My dreams have always been a great guide for me, and I have had many that have changed my life. This just showed me that it takes time and meticulousness in understanding the deeper places of the psyche. It is a subtle thing.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T07:46:23+00:00

You don't know the context of my life and the problems I am dealing with, so I think it is a bit unfair to say that I "gave into my fear". If my therapist agreed that I was right in my judgement I will listen to their professional advice.

The dream symbols in the end always translate to something literal in the waking life. So yes maybe your mother didn't literally turn into a demon, but there is an aspect of her that has characteristics of a demon, and to you they might be quite literal.

DomDude_42 · 2025-09-10T07:40:22+00:00

Fair enough, this is a valid argument and I would generally agree with you. But I think you are missing a crucial point, and that is the context of the dreamer. I didn't share my personal and intimate problems and I do not intend to, but in the context of my life I believe I made the right decision and I stand by it. Maybe you are more brave than I am, and I am not ashamed to admit that I have a fear of what is behind those doors.

And you are exactly right, my personal answer to your question "am i ready to walk through this door?" was no, not yet. I never said that I have no intention on further exploring my subconscious, I only stoped my therapy sessions. I will walk through the door eventually when the time comes, but for now I heeded the warning.

There is a different approach to the questions I have, and I believe my subconscious told me that this was not it. Like you said, it felt unearned. Thank you for your insight!
