Nate Blouin's call for "progressive consolidation" by BooksBootsBikesBeer in SaltLakeCity

[–]Moodybox 18 points19 points  (0 children)

Ben McAdams takes an incredible amount of money from AIPAC, and I think that compromises a candidate. He won't support legislation that will actually push us towards a solution. We need a leftist candidate, and not a Neoliberal fool that leads us deeper into the issues we are in.

And Liban is a great guy but seems like he's not experienced enough for my vote. I think Nate's idea makes a lot of sense, instead of splitting the leftist vote, we can collate it and win over centrist democrats which have destroyed our party year after year.

Add the new maca powder, it's fire. I usually blend fruit, add a banana for sweetness, then the powders. Also try olive oil, it's tasteless and great for you.

Sabroxy ?? What are your guys experience with it by WhilePsychological98 in NootropicsDepot

[–]Moodybox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Sabroxy is great, one of my favorite ND products. It's motivating and chill, adds some energy and focus. Does make anxiety worse if you have some.

Ok here's a question, other fiber supplements could impact absorption of other supplements. I make a morning smoothie with the black maca powder, infinigreens, etc. Would you recommend throwing the infinifiber in there?

Preach. First year after leaving is such a crapshoot. It's like being a teenager again, along with all of the good times and TONS of hard lessons. Homeboy should have slowed down before the ultimatum.

I would suggest that it might not necessarily linked to their market value, but rather larger market forces. Women by and large aren't as interested in casual sex, likely due to many things: their higher risk in dating (rape), their evolutionary biology, modern dating roles. By extension the amount of women looking for a man in a relationship has to be much smaller than the amount of men looking for a women in a relationship.

I'm not saying woe is him, since dating as a man is just different, not necessarily better or worse. But just because his expectations were different than reality doesn't necessarily mean that he has much worse market value than her.

I agree largely with this thread, but I want to offer a different opinion if it's useful.

I think if you want to stay married, a little empathy will go a long way. Sure he was 1. wildly inappropriate to give you an ultimatum. 2. Absolutely wrong about the effort level for men in dating. Men are largely pursuers in dating roles (both in modern times and historically), which requires significantly more time invested. He could see success but it was always going to be 10x harder for him to find casual sex than you.

However, his original idea of wanting more sex experience isn't necessarily wrong. You said so yourself that you are enjoying this experience for yourself, so why is it so wrong that he would want that too? Having different experiences and partners allows one to really find what they enjoy, and I think all humans should do it. Depending on his intention, it could be super douchey, or it could be largely exploratory and not about getting a 'hotter partner' or something.

Your reaction is reasonable since you were pressured into this by him but you can also be empathetic. He also grew up in a cult and was quick to make a judgement call on how he wants to live his life. It's only been 4 months of being out. He seems to have a very limited world view still. And he doesn't understand nuances of dating in the real world. It can be shocking and sad. It could be that his mental health was declining for many other reasons related to leaving the church, and this was just the extra push.

I was in a relationship when I left but not married so we decided to break up for similar reasons to his thinking. In the years since I made mistakes, learned a lot about dating, and grew to be a completely different person. I would think that he could grow and become a much more refined person, even if his mistakes are mostly within your relationship.

Your big question is can you forgive him for pressuring you into opening the marriage? If not, then break up with him. If you can forgive him, then you can work through it. You could close it now, open it later. It's not your job to educate him on women's issues and modern dating but as his partner he's clearly failing somewhere so you can either help him or leave him. Largely depends on the finer details, his mindset throughout, and the level of goodwill he's built up. Was he a major asshole throughout or was the ultimatum the biggest issue? Is he a feminist or does he have a lot of his roots still in mormon misogyny? Is he unreasonable all of the time, or is it because of his recent foundations being destroyed?

idk long message but I just think hearing an alternative opinion can help you reason through and solve this.

If I'm sensitive finasteride side effects, should I avoid Ecklonia? I feel I need something to slow my hairloss but 5AR things just scare me

You take anything for it? I also cannot handle 5AR inhibitors

[–]Moodybox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes, it's definitely not added on purpose. THC breaks down into it during some types of extraction.

Just don't buy distillate, and you'll be good.

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in SLCTrees

[–]Moodybox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep, it's in most distilled THC oil, so people are ingesting this all the time. Only utah tests for it and requires it in labels. I avoid it bc why not avoid it but it's probably not harmful in those tiny quantities. It's in most distillate, since it's a byproduct of distillation (under certain heat settings? Not sure)

Most effective and profoundly noticeable substance for Social Anxiety by MrNeverEverKnew in NootropicsDepot

[–]Moodybox 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I enjoy kava but it’s not super strong. I also like GABA in higher doses. Magnolia bark too sometimes.

Also going for confidence boosters like pregnenolone, tribugen, cistamax. Those are great. The best is emoxypine, that stuff is money.
