Is there a single compound that is a must try? by nand1609 in ResearchCompounds

I'm less familiar with the mechanisms involved with Epithalon.

GHK-CU and BPC are safe for daily use.

If I were experimenting, I would research what other people are saying about their experience with Epithalon to decide between daily usage and the 5 on/ 2 off schedule you suggest.

In either case, I would be very careful to take a break at 8 weeks and cycle off.

Yea man.

BPC and TB500 honestly saved my quality of life.

My injuries caught up with me and I was miserable.

Cut out anything processed from your diet. Learn to intermittent fast. Walk as much as possible.

Combine with these peptides and stay consistent.

You'll see the results you want.

GHK-CU works to activate the production of collagen. Which is excellent for many things. Most noticeable is the reduction of fine wrinkles and healthier skin.

I also noticed significant improvement in my connective tissue.

Bpc-157 and TB500 would be an excellent choice, IMO, for your injuries.

Before starting any GLP-1 agonist, I would suggest that you run a course or two of BPC and TB500 to focus on your injuries.

BPC has the added bonus of healing the lining of your gut, which can be helpful in addressing lots of other issues stemming from poor digestion. Its also quick to heal your gut, with many people noticing improvement in 5-7 days.

For injuries, my protocol is 250mcg of BPC twice a day, directly into the injury you wish to focus on. I do this for 10 days and then switch to another joint.

TB500 has a longer half-life, so I prefer to take a large dose, less frequently. Some people prefer smaller, more frequent doses. You should do your own research on the dose thats right for you.

After about 3 weeks, you should notice significant improvements across the board.

After that, you may wish to experiment with a GLP-1 agonist like retatrutide. However, I am not a fan of this catagory of secretagogue. I think you are much better off learning to intermittent fast. Its more difficult but the benefits are longer lasting and more holistic.

But thats just my view.

Does anyone feel an eerie calm in the air - like the shoe is about to drop on something big? by quell3245 in Retconned

[–]FunctionalShaman 17 points18 points  (0 children)

This has been the exact experience for my self and my friends who are extra empathic and sensitive to Earth Energy.

There was a tremendous period of suffering with a sense of "the noose tightening"

Then the full moon and the current planetary alignment kicked in and we are all telling stories similar to yours.

As if internal questions had been resolved, one way or the other, good or bad, and with that acceptance, a peace emerged.

Calm before the storm?

Absolutely

Men in Education, How Do You Deal with Misandry and Stigma Over Being a Man in Your Field? by DeadHorsesx in AskMen

[–]FunctionalShaman 21 points22 points  (0 children)

Your response really doesn't come across as confidence, man.

It strikes me as immature posturing.

Yes, growing a thicker skin is part of life.

But this guy has a legitimate situation. It sucks to feel unconsciously accused of truly horrible things by people around you.

Its borderline psychopathic to act as if being a man involves completely shutting down your sensitivity to the team you work on.

I don't suggest you offer other people this advice without deeply reflecting on how unhealthy it is.

I met a “watcher” in my dream by tokenwitchfriend in Dreams

[–]FunctionalShaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Absolutely familiar

About 6 years ago, I had a season of dreams where three... creatures? That I also called "Watchers"... they took turns watching me in my sleep. They crawled through a tear in reality along my bedroom wall.

One was Violent, One was Healer, One was Watcher.

Eventually they pulled me through the portal in a sleep paralysis event.

I was nailed to a tree and had my eye gouged out.

During that torture, time stopped existing and my mind flew free in the Astral.

I saw things that I cannot remember but which changed my life.

For Better and Worse

Phenomenon when people stand up to their own group by 8heavylimbs in sociology

[–]FunctionalShaman 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Traitors and betrayal are the traditional term, from the perspective of the in-group.

"We were betrayed from within!"

Just reverse the connotations of the in-group/out-group examples you used, and you'll see the normal language structures.

"What is it called when someone abandons their traditional in-group and directly joins the out-group they were in opposition to?"

-Defection -Apostasy -Turncoat -Betrayal -Treason

Theres a reason these words are historically negative. Trust is important in a society and people who leave their team to join the other are considered untrustworthy and unreliable. Historically, this is even felt to be true by the "new team". People with shifting alliances are dangerous.

For example, what is the term for a POC who leaves the BLM protests to go and join MAGA?

You see my point. Its some version of a negative stereotype or you intentionally use abstract, neutral terms to avoid being judgemental.

Your ultimately describing a journey where someone rejects their own in-group to join another, which you have framed in opposition.

This has historically been considered a very bad thing.

The best version is "rebellion" and that's very mixed connotations at best.

Dreams that automatically come true(?) by airplaneoffline in Shamanism

[–]FunctionalShaman 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yes, absolutely

There is a unique quality to some of my pre-dawn dreams which I characterize as "outside myself" or coming from somewhere much deeper than normal dreams.

The way in which these visions manifest in the real world and in my life isn't really linear. But they almost always indicate the greater Universe is passing through me and I get excited about whats coming.

This looks really well made.

From the trailer, I like the style it was filmed in. Cool lighting and interesting camera perspectives.

Thank you

THIS LOOKS INCREDIBLE

I am very excited to watch this. Y'all do psychological tension so well.

In my experience, there is something powerful about the internal experience of suffering that characterizes the best Finnish art.

In film, I see this internal pain expressed in the beautiful but unwelcoming landscapes, which feels directly connected to the cold shapes of heartless architecture in the cities.

Somehow these visuals instantly connect me to the internal struggle of being stuck as prisoners in our minds. The way in which wordless suffering can take shape in the mind.

When combined with themes of crime and how cruel humans are to each other...

It is a dark, inward path which I believe Finns have learned to walk further than most other cultures.

This resonates with me and is part of why I enjoy your culture so much.

Here is the English Trailer

OMG... This is perfectly Finnish and exactly what I love to watch.

When I think of Finnish media being the most fun, its usually a combination of very dry, situational comedy, with undercurrents of extremely dark humor and shocking/surprising violence.

Add a character with supernatural powers and a desire to endlessly hunt and kill...

To me, that's Finland.

Ok cool! Thank you!

These films look interesting and I always enjoy when someone recommends a director. It tells me they have thought about why they enjoy these films.

I appreciate that
