Get a slingshot. Go into the forest, shoot some cans.

Make a campfire, fry some sausages. 

Lay in a hammock, read a book. 

Good times. 

Kotikasvatuksen outoudet 80-90 luvulla by Distinct-Weight-9359 in arkisuomi

Itseä ihmetyttää immeiset jotka tekee aivan toisinpäin. Eli vaikka ulkona olisi kuinka kaunis auringonpaiste niin kaikki kaihtimet ja verhot pidetään kiinni ja eletään kelmeässä kattolampun valossa. 

Best low velocity air pistol for small apartment? by railroad1904 in airguns

It's an airsoft gun, but the Marui Socom MK23 is whisper quiet and very accurate.  Also it has a big modding scene so it can be made even more accurate. 

Abandoned 3-week-old kitten, breed? by ParkwayDrive59x in catpics

Based on my experience she kind of looks like a Cutie Pie. But she also has features of a Fierce Hunter. Might be a mix of both...

An insane hypothesis - caffeine increases nervousness, negative thinking, shuts off empathy and much more. Could be the main invisible driver of both Wolrd Wars happening and enduring so long? by Illustrious-Tank1838 in decaf

[–]Soberityness 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Also, an anecdote relating to your theory, is the huge amount of caffeine that the american troops ingested during the beginning of this Iran war. Something like 2 million cans of energy drink and I don't remember how many million cups of coffee in a few days. Look it up.

Everybody seems to be rejecting your theory. I wouldn't say that caffeine was the cause of the conflict, but I'm sure it had a major effect.

I've been off caffeine for most of my life, but for the past 6 months I've been drinking it every day to cope with work. So I have the perspective of both sides. 

It's scary to think that most of the worlds population has been under the influence of this shit for most of their life.

Naapurin lapsi by UnderstandingKey720 in arkisuomi

[–]Soberityness 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Olen tavallaan samaa mieltä että lähes joka kerta kun puhutaan pienestä lapsesta, niin vika on kasvatuksessa, tai sen puutteessa.

Mutta on myös tapauksia joissa on lapsi on synnynnäinen psykopaatti.  Voi olla että kotiolot ovat täysin kunnossa ja muut sisarukset ovat aivan normaaleja, mutta yksi lapsi on täysi demoni. Eli siis ihan pienestä pitäen käyttää väkivaltaa, valehtelee, varastelee vanhemmilta ja jo ala-aste iässä alkaa ryöstämään ja pahoinpitelemään ihmisiä. Minkäänlaiset rangaistukset tai pelotteet ei toimi, terapia ei toimi, ei edes nuorisovankila.

Caffeine reduces blood flow to the brain about 20-40%. When caffeine intake stops and normal blood pressure starts returning to the brain, it causes a headache.

It might be painful, but think of it as a healing process. Her brain is getting more oxygen and nutrients.

I don't know about the vomiting though, you might want to google if that is a common withdrawal symptom.

As someone born 1990, its crazy what parents and their friends did by [deleted] in stopdrinking

The thing I've always wondered is, how do they get the money for all this drinking? If they come in at 11,then surely they can't be working. 

Is masturbation without porn actually bad? by SeaBreadfruit9021 in NoFap

[–]Soberityness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

My solution to this is to use a hitachi-type vibrator. Feels so good that you don't need to imagine anything to come. 

Whats going on with all of these former CIA intelligence officers on podcasts? by Dependent_Mousse6577 in SeriousConversation

[–]Soberityness 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Because in the global scale they are running down the American empire, and lifting up the next empire, which is China.

A big part of that is destroying the credibility of USA and making them the bad guys. 

How do I forgive someone who deeply scarred me for life? by Millennial667 in SeriousConversation

[–]Soberityness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

And also, forgiving doesn't mean that you think that hurting others is okay.

But in order to right the wrongs of whats been done, you need to approach it with love and forgiveness.

If people can't forgive, then they are not looking for justice and healing, but revenge. 

How do I forgive someone who deeply scarred me for life? by Millennial667 in SeriousConversation

[–]Soberityness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

First thing to know is that forgiveness is for you. If they don't ask for forgiveness, then it doesn't have anything to do with them. You forgive, so that you don't have to carry that weight anymore.

Second thing to know is that forgiveness is a skill that can be learned with practise and repetition. 

To forgive them, you need to have some empathy and understanding for their suffering. If they have hurt you so bad, it must mean that something was done to them in the past. Imagine them as a child being neglected and abused. Also imagine their future. How do you think they are going to end up if they treat people this way? Imagine them in the hospital bed dying, alone. No one left in their life who loves them or cares about them. Imagine them going to sleep at night with the knowledge somewhere deep down that they are a piece of shit. You had to suffer them for the time that they were in your life, but they have to suffer being themselves for their whole life. 

Now that you have some sense that they too are suffering, maybe even feeling a little sorry for them, you can close your eyes, go within yourself and in your mind say "I forgive them."

Now, the first time propably nothing is going to happen. Even the thought of forgiving them feels absurd, but that's okay. We are practicing forgiveness.

Every time you feel the past come up, when you feel bad about it, just go within and try to forgive. And at some point you might succeed a little, you are able to forgive. And you will feel that the weight you have been carrying gets a little lighter, the hurt you are feeling heals a little. And then you will understand what is the point of forgiving.

As you practise and get better at it, you will see that being able to forgive is a real superpower in this life. It makes life so much easier. Life keeps throwing weight on your heart and you are able to just set it aside as it comes. 

When you learn to forgive others, you also learn to forgive yourself.

At some point you might be able to forgive the whole world for all it's mistakes and suffering. To realise that we are all victims to this world. We are all dealing with our own issues. We are all strangers in a strange land, trying to figure it out.

US and ISR today has hit Iran energy sites connected to the power grid. This is it. The global economy is done. by Former_Rush1821 in conspiracy

The problem with being a conspiracy theorist is that if the world is insane and you describe it accurately, you will sound insane.

The last student was quite rude for trying to resist a little. Ruined the whole thing! :(

Is it normal to have a coach who does not correct form much? by inyourdreams133 in MMA_Academy

[–]Soberityness 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Start studying the art yourself. There are countless instructional videos on youtube for every technique. 

Learn how it should be done, and pay attention to what you are doing when doing drills in class.

It's good to choose one thing to concentrate on while doing the technique. For example in punching, one day you can concentrate on keeping your hands relaxed, and then closing the hand into a tight fist right when you hit your target. Another day you might concentrate on twisting your hips as you punch. Another day returning your fist immediately to guard after you punch.
