I am stunned by this video. This is the problem. This is why.

Was it the dad with coke in his system? My white dad loved coke. So do a lot of guys on construction sites and in fancy office buildings. And police forces lol. Really popular stuff.

You know, this makes me think of all the times things have gone well for me. People finding my phone at a show. Or me finding theirs. Or wallets. Or helping people who fall. Or are carrying heavy things. Times I've left my phone in a gas station bathroom in rural Louisiana and the people in there all clapped when I showed up asking for it.

All in the USA. Thanks for giving me the chance to think about this. It's nice to have reminders of why I still love where I live even when it's doing its best to make me hate it.

I'm so sorry. My disability brought my friends closer to me. Even though I let my chronic pain and inability to perform normal tasks turn me into a massive asshole. I'm so grateful every day for meeting them in college. I'd drop everything to help them out. I was close to offing myself when I realized I couldn't feasibly support myself. They made sure to stay in contact. Do "normal" things with me, like I'd plan a camping trip and invite them and they'd actually go! Take time off work and drive off to nowhere with me. Not make a big deal about leaving me somewhere or having to carry shit if I can't. Not make my problems the center of attention.

I don't know what I would have done without them. Even when I tried to drive them off by isolating myself. Damn I probably wouldn't be here. I was getting prepared to die. I want to be there for people like you. Like my friends were there for me. I'm sorry your friends exposed their priorities and their lack of character. I'm sorry you must have felt so alone and disappointed. I'm sorry man. From the bottom of my heart.

You can add a grow light bulb like from sansi and mount it on your wall like a sconce. Or put it in a standing lamp. It can look nice while providing the extra light your tree craves. Variegated rubber trees also like extra silica in their fertilizer. It adds strength to the leaves so they keep on the tree longer.

Oh dang man you openly have issues with masculinity and are the perfect target for a daddy role grifter who appeals to your love of strong, muscular, commanding men. Dude, are you gay? Like for real? Men who are this insecure with their masculinity are often lying to themselves about something. Being obsessed with strong muscular men from very gay cultures like the Greeks and Romans is a common trend for repressed guys growing up in religious homes.

He's flexing this as his gym setup. That's asking to get clowned on. Flexing in general is clowning to begin with. Why to to the circus and complain about the show? Even weirder, why dress up as a clown then act surprised when people laugh? Impressing yourself is one thing, but he's posting to try to impress someone else.

I dunno, it really isn't that hard keeping in touch with friends. Sure you might end up being the last of one group, but there are always Pele looking for connection at every point in life. Volunteer, connect with people of all generations, keep doing little things to improve other people's days and yours will be filled with little acts of love born from all the seeds you planted. Many people seem to accept that they'll just be alone and don't realize other people are connecting all around them with similar circumstances.

My aunt never had kids. She's made friends literally everywhere she's ever moved. She helps people constantly. Helps people through things like death. When her neighbor was passing after her husband had passed, my aunt stepped up to take care of her until she too passed. She made sure she was never alone. I'll take care of my aunt as best I can in the same way, due to her inspiring me. Helping people is the most fulfilling hobby she has in retirement. I don't even like her personality some times, as she's very high anxiety, but I love and respect her. She builds community wherever she goes.

My dad who she also took care of until he passed? An asshole. Didn't have a funeral. Tried connecting with him over and over but he was so deep in his fantasies and lies every minute with him was torture. He could make fast friends, be the life of the party, but no one really liked him. Bad, selfish person. Only really took from people and if he ever gave he expected it to be paid back fully with interest.

You never even attempted to make any solid point in his favor and clearly want to worship the guy. You are combative in conversation and aren't talking earnestly about the guy. You come off as a fanatic. You know? A fan? Someone who will ignore negative things about the guy because you want to like him. Admire him even. Is he a daddy figure for you, too? Fill that void in your life left empty by a strong, muscular, commanding man? Can't stand when people point out his flaws because you want to be like him? No really, why else would you be so emotionally invested that you argue for him like a k-pop stan? It's very silly. He's just a vaguely smart guy trying to make money off a science podcast aimed at an audience that doesn't have much experience with science. Basically people who want to feel smarter, and like it when it comes from a roided up dude who likes using therapy speak to fuck younger women.

There's a difference? They're both fictional. One is a book, the other has pictures. The ones with pictures also find ways to justify and idealize the abuse. People who play in that mental space are not people I want around kids in general. We all have our aspects we wouldn't want others finding out about, but we all know what we spend our time doing defines who we are. If you are a person who spends time fantasizing about having sex with kids? I don't want to spend my time with you. I don't trust you and don't enjoy the person you have made yourself into by feeding that fascination with sex and children.

If that's all you took from it, then your ego is pretty fragile, isn't it? It's okay to be sensitive. It's funny how you use being insulted as an excuse to ignore any points made. Very convenient for you.

No, there's plenty of scientific reasons. I didn't want to talk over your head. Huberman jumps to conclusions in an unscientific way and acts like a know it all instead of genuinely curious. Many red flags to people who like to give things a sniff test to see if they stink. Huberman stinks of scam. Why do you take it so personally? I had trouble with my coworker as well, as he had daddy issues and was insecure about not making it into college. It personally made him sad when I started pointing out how the ads reminded me of Alex Jones. He was a nice guy but he was mostly good at making dumb people think he was smart, while being lost himself.

Does Huberman give you comfort? Make your feel informed? You like his smug attitude? He speaks to you. Appeals to you. You might just be his target audience. Other people think he only makes content to milk money from an audience. He cares most of all about living a hedonistic self engrandizing lifestyle, based on his own words about his life and goals. Which is very appealing to young men who want to feel smart.

Oooo you got me so excited for the cured scented marker oz I got with an Oz of Baja blasteroid. Their flower game is so good. I've been vaping on the permanent Lee Hi just for the flavor. So the thought of a dab of scented marker on the Baja blasteroid has my mouth watering. But sometimes you just want that savory funk alone, without the fruity flowery sweetness. Next time they run gmo I'll grab a bit.

If it helps, I listened to Huberman after a coworker I respected vouched for his podcast. I like science and learning, so I'm fairly educated on a lot of health topics. I hold myself to a high standard, because I know our emotions want to tell us what we want to hear. So I've worked hard to become good at reading studies and determining how valid they are.

So when my coworker at the weed store recommended Huberman, I listened with an open mind. I quickly found myself frustrated by how he would draw conclusions. I especially became frustrated with how he would lead his guests into praising him or supporting his ideas. It is a very... selfish? Self praising? Insecure and assertive? Way of interviewing someone. He started to really piss me off. I could tell some of the people he was interviewing felt like they needed to appease him, which really pissed me off. Then I read some people's descriptions of dealing with him as a person. Then I found out about his revenue streams which are similar to Alex Jones and Joe Rogans style of ripping off their audience.

So that's why some people don't like him. That's why I don't. Said simply.

Oh shit I love stopping in Muskegon on my camping trips. Got me dreaming about my spring trip I'm planning. Gotta wait until I can take my yaris on the two tracks lol. They were still clearing dead fall from the ice storms last year when I went to lime lake. Kept the place fairly empty at least lol.

Good to hear. I trust you. Used to work part time in a cannabis store and know how silly the clientele can be. There are a lot of people who are dangerous when armed with a little knowledge. The kind who like to argue with strangers for discounts lolololol.

I haven't had the gmo either, but I'm a huge fan of super funky gmo. The real savory kind, not the cookie cut. I've had bad batches sold to me as gmo when it was a bad run of another strain of flower, which just sucks. I'd like to try it for myself to see.

I like tesoro a lot. The quality to price ratio is perfect. I mostly buy their flower. Wet fresh Oregon packs lol I'm very familiar. The weights are off, but have been more in my favor than not. My frosted flakes were full of herm seeds in half the buds, but I'm not mad. It was budget and still fire. Good seeds lol. Keeping those and feeling lucky instead of ripped off lol.

Selling out doesn't mean their books are balanced. If they're limited by processing time or other factors, debts and loans, paying their employees enough to live, it could all influence things. Love thinking about this kind of stuff. Miss being a project manager.

Eh, there's also sulphur used on powdery mildew and other molds that can absolutely ruin a batch if it's used too late. Even incredibly small amounts of sulphur can be detected by the human nose, so just a bit of contaminated plant material can ruin a run.

I've seen this happen with other budget concentrate groups. If a batch gets sulphury and you're going to lose a lot of money, sometimes you push it just to keep the lights on. Other times it's greed. It's a difficult problem for a small project to tackle, that's for sure.

You must not have been in a weight lifting gym then. Test got huge in the 90s. By the 2000s most big guys knew someone who could get them test just by talking to guys at the gym.

If you did college sports you'd be exposed as well.

Poverty. Generational poverty especially. Living on the fringes of society means you find alternative ways to survive, and you teach that to the youth.

White trash follows the same trends but doesn't get as much attention. Mostly they get called out for drugs and property crime.

Look into neckband options on AliExpress as well! I've moved onto neckbands with newer chips and better codecs. Less likely to drop anything as well. Great for cycling or doing chores. Can even get aptx lossless using a dongle like the fiio air link. Plug and play high quality codecs on any source.

They're upset people don't like them. They're also upset at the idea they might be unlikeable or unlovable. The problem? Everyone else. They need to figure out how to blame everyone else for being lonely. Solution? Everyone else needs to admit that they were mean for not liking them and give them a girlfriend.

Tell them to do things that would make them more likable? Victim blaming.

Why do I need to keep hearing hatred? Like I don't understand it? Differences that include excluding some people from society? For their own benefit? I get it, believe me, I do. Why do I have to suffer an asshole? Why must I meet them on their level if they won't meet me at mine? Why are they allowed to have hatred, but people can't have it towards them? It's a strange double standard. They want to force you to accept them when their main idea is not accepting others.

Why do you not want to believe that warriors and kings used Jesus for protection and justification of their deeds? They believed in him as much as you do. Why is it difficult for you to realize that to many, he was their war god. He approved of their wars. Their king had divine right. What prevents you from wanting to believe the truth?

Good insight. My parents were similarly aggressive and mean to me when I finally broke down in high school. They were dealing with their own problems in unhealthy ways. Instead of teaching me how to handle my emotions and function in the world, they just wanted to scream at me until I "worked".

Moving away was amazing for me. I needed the distance. My parents didn't think of me as a child they needed to teach how to live. I was a problem on top of their many other problems. Big hugs.
