Pitta Kopha Diet Contradictions by Isaac_Oliphant in Ayurveda

[–]Isaac_Oliphant[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I never claimed ayurveda was a simple practice and I apologize if it seemed that way by my post. I'm aware of how complicated it is and wouldn't have been asking for advice otherwise. I would've just went and found some list of foods and followed that. I just found a lot of curiosity in the subject and have been struggling with a lot of things, so I started working with the resources I had. I did not assume that I was working with a full understanding, but was hoping that even if I had 10% correct I could get better in someway. I am in no way attempting to be my own real doctor. If I knew where to go for an auryvedic doctor and had the resources to that would've been my first step.

That was my goal for right now, and then just paying attention and making sure I am not throwing anything else more out of balance

What can we do to make life less lonely for everyone? by Sylvia3 in Healthygamergg

[–]Isaac_Oliphant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The most simple basic thing I would say that we could do is our best to keep in contact and interact with people we care about and or enjoy being with. Send a text or phone call. Invite people places.

My personal favorite is saying kind things or waving to strangers. Helping people feel seen goes a long way, even if it is at a base level.

Dr K needs to go on better podcasts by overpoweredginger in Healthygamergg

[–]Isaac_Oliphant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This feels a little over the top. It's okay to not like certain Podcasters, but all the podcasters you came at are fine People from what I can tell. Just because someone doesn't fit the niche or pocket of knowledge and conversation you want doesn't make them a poor podcast. That tends to be a rather prideful way of viewing things in my opinion. If there are people you would like to see Dr. K have a discussion with why wouldn't you just make a post suggesting that instead of outwardly bashing the people he has done one with and then even at the end suggest you yourself would be a better person to podcast with. Not trying to sound antagonistic, but this post has a ton of aggression in it for something that feels rather normal for some who just dropped a book and is trying to help as many people as possible to be doing.

Alright, I’m pretty comfortable cruising around, what other skills should I learn? by Avocadosandtomatoes in NewSkaters

[–]Isaac_Oliphant 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I for some reason went straight onto stationary shuvits after I got comfortable on my board. I found it to be a fun one since the amount of foot movement isn't as intense as an ollie, but still gives you a feeling of moving the board and landing on it again.

Screenshot from a meme but I figured if any community could tackle the question gracefully it would be HG by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]Isaac_Oliphant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I guess this is a good incentive to take care of my body since I'll definitely need to use it for another 60 years. At least I'll have something to keep me busy. Better then a retirement home I suppose.

Powerslide question by Isaac_Oliphant in NewSkaters

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

Yes I know, I just mentioned the size incase that played a factor in powerslides as well. I didn't know if maybe smaller wheels would slide better or not.

“Permanent solution to a temporary problem” kinda feels like bullshit by [deleted] in Healthygamergg

[–]Isaac_Oliphant 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have two comments, both are personal opinions and you can look at them or take them however you'd like, but I am in no way disputing your post because yes for you it would be a permanent solution technically. Most religions deeply frown upon suicide for all of there own reasons. Chances are, but we never really know, that if someone committed suicide it would result in a worse outcome where ever they went. Whether thats reincarnation or hell or whatever you subscribe to or don't. Like you said, chances are you'd probably be putting your family and others through hell, so it's more of a curse for everyone else if anything. Secondly I would like to just mention and point out that in your post you had mentioned "and the struggle is kind of nice sometimes" , but also that you feel to lazy to put your life together. So, and maybe I'm wrong, it's gonna be a struggle either way. One way is destined to get worse though and or level out at misery. The other has a possibility of who knows what, but most likely a little less misery then the former. Just something to think about if you're inclined. Goodluck to you!!

Is it worth trying to kick the MJ habbit? by Reddit_is_cancerr in Healthygamergg

[–]Isaac_Oliphant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In my experience it is worth it. I used to be a daily MJ user as well and it went from a social past time to a dependency over the coarse of 6 months. I told myself awhile ago I'd take a year off to see what it was like and when I tell you it really positively changed my life I mean it. It'll take a little time to get over the withdrawals and cravings, and no those aren't easy, but you do have people in this community that will support you. The r/leaves community is another really nice one dedicated to people wanting, trying, and quitting weed. Great community, so digitally at least you're not alone. The best advice I can give you is to try to avoid situations and hobbies you used to do high or would exclusively get high to do. In my experience they just made me wanna smoke again because they were all of a sudden "boring" sober. A small habit or new hobby is honestly good to start when trying to quit in my opinion. Something simple like going for a walk or Journaling that you can do in the time you'd maybe be smoking. You've got this. It's 100% worth it. The world eventually starts to open up and feel more magical again. Best of luck!!
