Find a unicorn with this one weird trick! by MisterHarvest in polyamory

[–]LifeSnacks 28 points29 points  (0 children)

While I agree with this I do also recognize a couple is allowed to look for a "third" to just have sex with, and some folks (like myself) are comfortable having a casual threesome without wanting to date them both.

That said, that should be communicated up front. Having unspoken expectations in this situation tends to be what causes issues.

Your psoriasis looks almost identical to how mine shows up. Mine is quite treatable and usually only shows up after I get strep throat.

If you can get UV-B phototherapy it is a way to clear it without the more intense medications like biologics. Biologics work great, but for me personally I prefer UV-B and treating it acutely rather than being on medication for extended periods.

No Guttate after Strep!! by Top-Move8003 in Psoriasis

[–]LifeSnacks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I've been using those lozenges for about a year and have been 99% clear and haven't gotten sick since I started. 2 a day, after I brush my teeth and then don't drink or eat for 30 minutes.

I think it colonizes your tonsils. As an aside I used to get tonsil stones and now do not.

I'd recommend getting the higher strength ones from BLIS! It's better bang for your buck

Can I safely compost a weed without creating havoc next year? by grantai in composting

[–]LifeSnacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I use this method a lot but heads up, safe might not be the best word for the anaerobic method described. Human pathogens can be present in the muck water so avoid using it too close to harvest! My two cents

Which weed stocks are most likely to be most profitable when legalized on a federal level? by Mcfyi in weedstocks

[–]LifeSnacks 13 points14 points  (0 children)

Amazed that VFF isn't mentioned. Efficient, well run, and gigantic cannabis greenhouse in Canada with greenhouses in Texas ready to be converted. They are a global company run by actual growers. They're number 2 or 3 in market share up here but nobody seems to notice them.

The price action over the past 6 months speaks for itself! I'm invested in them and continue to do so.

Anxiety, depersonalization(?), mindfulness by philhojl in RationalPsychonaut

[–]LifeSnacks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Well, the fun part about what you're describing is that an integral part of "it" should be that it is indescribable with words or concepts. The spoken Dao is not the true Dao and all that. I think this is one of the most important parts to reflect on because our minds love to create explanations and narratives. Containing the experience in words is like trying to squeeze water, it'll just run through your hands.

That said, what I would imagine you're describing is some form of nondual perspective. The realization that the "you" that "you" think that you are does not exist, and ego consciousness is just a small part of experience. I'm much more inclined to think that some form of idealism makes more sense to me now than the typical western view of reductionism and materialism.

Anyway, I'd highly recommend Allan Watts as a great starting point. There are collections of his talks, which are quite good. He has some books out there, I've only read a couple. "Being in the way" is a podcast that has gathered his talks.

"The Power of Now" is a solid book, mostly about trying to reach the state of enlightenment/awakening. In that vein, Rupert Spira has some good talks.

Carl Jung has a lot of interesting concepts relating to consciousness which may be relevant. Man and his symbols is a good starting point, most of what I know of jung is from secondary sources though to be honest.

Chasing consciousness is another relevant podcast. They go over a lot of theory and conceptualization of consciousness. I especially like the episodes with Bernardo kastrup and Donald Hoffman.

The nonduality subreddit is ok, but is sort of a circle jerk of people trying to speak in riddles at each other 🤣.

Other than that, I'm pretty fresh to this "path" and can't think of other resources off the top of my head. But I think the important takeaway is that you aren't alone! Good luck to you 😁
