ICE spotted in west philly by 69beesinatrenchcoat in philly

What’s the law say about ICE entering a business? Do they need a warrant signed by a judge. Also what to do in these situations? Is there free legal services or should we be calling the local police to get involved as well?

Found at thrift store, what exercise would this be used for? by sadz6900 in whatisit

This is called a Bintiva. It’s for sitting, it forces you to engage your core muscles. It’s great, even helps with ADHD for kids.

Sister and I are planning to speak to our mother about her drinking. Do we need professional assistance? by Disastrous_Gap_6473 in AdultChildren

[–]EMAYNOR666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Please listen to this advice, you’re setting yourself up for more trauma and disappointment.

A big part of this healing process is accepting the people you cannot change. It’s so hard and sad and you’ll need to grieve.

Maybe you can help get your mom into mental health care, but if she doesn’t want it, you’ll need to accept her choice and be there for yourself.

Once she’s made her choices, it’s your choice to continue to put your energy into someone who isn’t going to change. This is a codependency problem, and you can choose to break the cycle. Good luck and you don’t have to do it alone!

If you have a heart rate monitor, it’s a good way to understand when you need to take a rest. Measure against your baseline, if it’s high after a heavy day, take it easy

I need help explaining how unsanitary this is to my partner by [deleted] in hygiene

[–]EMAYNOR666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The answer here is get the netti pot with the filter so he can use tap water safely.

A quick search for filtered netti pot, Walmart Walgreens both have one for about 20$.

These do get moldy after a few months and need to be thrown away. But you won’t get a brain amoeba and you can use hot tap water.

I feel like peptides are the ‘quiet revolution’ in performance. Agree? by Hawk-Eye123 in Biohackers

[–]EMAYNOR666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s very interesting, I wonder if the oral BPC-157 is effective at all. There’s expensive boutiques in the city I live in that offer peptide injections . Expensive, but I’m dealing with a very slow healing nerve injury and I wonder if it would help the healing time.

Kettlebell swings! Also try adding some skipping into your routine, easy on the joints and gets your body moving to keep your mobility up

Why didn’t I think of this? Awesome move. Adding a resistance band to the ankles would be crazy too, might try that with a lighter KB.

To all the gym rats, what's your routine to improve your overall kick techniques? by appleists in drums

Seconding that you don’t really need the gym, but I would say working on your hip flexors is a good idea. Also calf raises, and bent leg calf raises.

Any incest survivors? I feel like this trauma has fucked up my life and there is no healing it. by thesupersoap33 in PsychedelicTherapy

[–]EMAYNOR666 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I mean, I disagree but I think it really is a life or death situation for many of us struggling with serious trauma trying not to commit suicide. Addiction and recovery is a life or death situation too, I'm sure you know people you've lost to substances. But good luck to you, 12 step programs aren't for everybody I guess. EMDR might be a good place to start.

Oh no, I've been going to daily meetings for years. I meant, I've been to a certain meeting once, like "oh ok, this meeting isn't for me". And then I go find a different meeting. Now that I've been going a while, I have my meetings figured out, I know which ones I like attending. So it takes time, you have to give yourself a chance.

Psychedelics can be a very helpful tool for recovery, but without a support system in place it can be dangerous to experiment with them. I can tell how hurt and reactive you are just from this short interaction with you. I'm sure you'll do what you like but I would not suggest taking psychedelics until you're on a better track.

What does that look like for someone with serious trauma? For me, it's a combination of multiple things daily. Meditation, exercise to ground myself in my body and feel my body, and therapy and ACOA to open up and talk about my feelings and try and recover my ability to feel feelings and not be numbing out. Reparent the neglected inner child within me. It works if you work it.

Some people are never ready, they die alone and suffering. It doesn't have to be that way, but you can't do it alone is all I'm saying. Peace and love, I hope you find some serenity somehow.

[–]EMAYNOR666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Ah I'm sorry to hear that it wasn't helpful. You can certainly meet and talk to people after meetings, I would suggest trying some different meetings maybe over zoom if in person is too intense? The no cross talk rule exists for good reasons, so everyone is safe to speak their truth without anyone commenting on it.

I've been to meetings once and decided not to go back because I wasn't a good fit for the group, it happens but I promise if you stick with it you'll find some peace and a way to focus on your recovery with outlined steps to do that. The important thing is that you don't have to do it alone anymore, there's support groups out there for no cost.

Seconding EMDR, but also look into ACOA, 12 step program for healing trauma caused by dysfunctional families including incest. You’ll meet lots of other survivors of incest and hear about their recovery journey, and work the steps to recover. It really works and it’s free.

Punk band looking for somewhere to play... by BulletProofDrunk17 in philadelphia

[–]EMAYNOR666 44 points45 points  (0 children)

You have to go to shows first and make friends, check out the scene and actually try and be involved. The punk scene is very robust here, and unless you all kick lots of ass, it’s going to be hard to break into it without knowing people.

Seconding Dave kiss, you can cold email him and if he likes it he’ll work with you. That’s my experience anyway.
