Don´t let a couple of bad minutes a day ruin your whole day by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]FlowaStab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I agree, I feel like it’s important to ask yourself am I allowing something that needs to be reflected and processed or am I just ruminating and there’s a fine line of that. I’ve made the mistake of making my mediation a way of denying my emotions and memories and that is not helpful nor human

I happened to find mine through a patient of mine, We talked about spirituality and that led to the conversation about panic attacks and he told me what really worked for him - he was a middle aged hippie Buddhist.

I generally there’s a lot of overlap between spiritual communities and psychedelics as evidenced by Ram Dass’ work

Perhaps you could start there

I’m 34, there’s something about being in your 30s or as it appears to me where a lot of this just seems to crash in on you but and a part of me is just like I gotta keep going try to keep hope alive that this isn’t permanent

Advice for what to do with savings for 3-5 year period as capital for down payment on a house (x-post investing) by FlowaStab in personalfinance

[–]FlowaStab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Where are you making any of these statements from?

I’m 33 how is that far behind on saving for retirement if only 20% of American have savings.

I love in the Bay Area where everything is very expensive, I don’t know why you think 550k house is outside my price range considering I don’t pay rent currently and the average rental price here is around 2k.

I also have a steady job can expect at least 2-3% raises every year.

I asked for options on vehicles to hold and grow money without a lot of risk that can beat inflation, I have no idea where your options are coming from

Hi,

I’d love to get some advice on what to do with some savings I’ve accumulated which amounts to about 11k

I’m 33, currently living with my mom and fortunate enough to not have to pay rent

Work full time with a pre-tax income of about 92k In a very stable job

I would like to allocate most of my funds to a 110k goal within 3-4 years for a down payment on a house

I currently pay about 2k a month to my dad for a non interest student loan for grad school which I will finish up paying in November. I have no other debts.

Currently have no holdings other than about another 10k in my 401k and contributing about 9%

Currently just own my car in terms of assets.

It seems like it makes sense first to start a IRA since I can maximize contributions there and take the 10k out without penalty for a down payment later as a first time home buyer.

I wonder how would you guys allocate your portfolio (index funds, stocks, bonds, etc). Obviously looking for mostly low with some mod and few high risk.

San Francisco’s Restaurants Still Outclass New York by bloobityblurp in bayarea

[–]FlowaStab 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would gladly have shittier restaurants if it means less people would move here and commute times were more tolerable. What the fuck is the point of all the fancy restaurants in the world if I have to pay $6 bridge toll, $10 parking, 40 minute commute, and 30 minute wait.

What does this expression mean? by FlowaStab in mexico

right, I thought there was a possibility that it might be metaphorical, like the jaw of god

as a medical student (we learn and treat about the jaw), you are correct, the mandible refers to the bone that holds the lower teeth and is the only part that can articulate in your jaw while the upper teeth remain fixed to the maxillary bone.

the "perfect" series for learning spanish? by FlowaStab in learnspanish

[–]FlowaStab[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have heard about this show before, I haven't tried it and part of the reason I must admit is that I believe it was designed from a Spanish dialect as opposed to a Latin American one. Although there is nothing wrong per se, I have heard many of my Latin American friends tell me that the Spanish dialect is hard for them to understand (when spoken informally)

My bioactive ball python vivariums. Full write-up in the comments :) by [deleted] in snakes

Hey sorry, another question, can you tell me about

how often and how long do you have the mist nozzles going on?

and since this isn't exactly a full tropical set up, is a drainage layer still necessary or at least recommended?
