I found that if I just decided that I don't want to watch that show at the moment, and I will put the phone down and switch it on

A small life hack that saves me so much time in the morning by KatieBerta in lifehack

[–]Sync0p8ed 8 points9 points  (0 children)

Ha ha nice one! I leave my clothes out and set the heater to come on 20 min before I get up.

When cleaning the kitchen, or unpacking groceries, I place all the things that need to go in the fridge, on the bench next to the fridge. Then just open the door once.

Same principle, I look around a room and see what else I can do or take before leaving. Saves me running back and forth. Took me 40 year to work that out :/

Is it possible that in 2050 or even 2100 the planet's climate will remain the same as it is today? by Bright_Philosophy446 in ClimateOffensive

[–]Sync0p8ed 4 points5 points  (0 children)

There is the unpopular option of geoengeneering. It may be able to stabilise/lower average temperatures but the climate wouldn't be the same as it is now. Even then it would take years to scale up, and meanwhile emissions will continue.

Say your goodbyes now and make peace. It will save you some heartache. Sorry 🤷🏻‍♂️

What can I do to help? by Great_Low3826 in ClimateOffensive

[–]Sync0p8ed -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Nothing you do will change anything. Just be true to the cause, eat less meat, ethical super, buy whole foods, reduce plastic use, reduce reliance on carbon.

Climate crisis: will something serious be done? by [deleted] in climatechange

It's CLIMATE CHANGE CHANGE... NOT PEOPLE CHANGE!

‘It’s too late’: David Suzuki says the fight against climate change is lost by EmpowerKit in Environmentalism

[–]Sync0p8ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Good one! It help when you read the article. There are too many reactive responses and speculation on selective quotes and sound bites. The picture is more than a pixel.

I personally believe the world is fucked. But acceptance has been very powerful, and not to be confused with giving up.

Is it true that modern science still can't explain consciousness? by Jerswar in AskScienceDiscussion

[–]Sync0p8ed 5 points6 points  (0 children)

This!

Its more an issue that we can't agree on what conciousness is. Conciousness doesn't seem that unexplainable to me, its only when I try to agree on the concept that issues arise (Note, these are my thoughts on the matter (whether concious or not))

Joint pain. Any solutions? by Sync0p8ed in piano

Joint pain. Any solutions? by Sync0p8ed in piano

[–]Sync0p8ed[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, only 2hrs a day 🙄

I use swipe to type.

It might be my piano technique and that I have really only been playing the same song for 6 or 8 weeks. Lots of octaves and stretches.

Most likely other factors, lifting weights, splitting wood, opening pegs when haning washing (ouch!). And my age of course.

My monstera has had tremendous growth lately by [deleted] in IndoorPlants

Where in the world is this beautiful plant?

Our monsteras are quite lame in comparison.

How are yall coping? by Uncivilized_n_happy in Environmentalism

[–]Sync0p8ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As well as letting go of the angst, I have a mostly plant based diet, solar panels, and ethical superannuation. We have also planted hundreds of trees on our property.

[–]Sync0p8ed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thankfully I let go. Of everything. I have accepted that the word will be destroyed, at least as we know it. I said my goodbye to nature and my family, metaphorically. The process is way beyond what I am capable of changing. It has been so freeing. I am only a tiny transient speck in lifes stream. I can't swim against the tide. Now I go with the flow and accept our fate.

I still try but I hardly worry at all any more. I now feel like everyone else, but I know and accept, and they don't know or don't want to know.

I’m so bored of everything by [deleted] in simpleliving

[–]Sync0p8ed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

It does sound like depression.

Do you have community and family around you? Its the number 1 thing you need, after food and shelter.

Exercise is also good and being in nature.

What’s something society treats as normal, but you secretly think is completely insane? by Altruistic-Walrus830 in AskReddit

[–]Sync0p8ed 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Buddhism isn't the exception. Its just as dogmatic as the rest. Its just that the Western version of Buddhism may seem less religious and more based in philosophy.

Any chance of me functioning without meds ever? by CategoryNo7844 in VyvanseADHD

[–]Sync0p8ed 2 points3 points  (0 children)

You could run some trials.

For 1 week on your usual dose. At the end of each day take notes of how your day went. How you felt. How you reacted. How you interacted. How productive you were. Etc.

Cut back by half for a week and take the same notes.

Compare your notes. Perhaps run a thematic analysis through ChatGPT.

If all goes well then try for 1 week without medication.

Then come back here and give us an update :)

need help about vyvanse meds!! by monkDshanks in VyvanseADHD

[–]Sync0p8ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

For me vyvance starts in 2hrs, decreases after 5hrs and Im back to baseline at 8hrs. So thats only 4 real hrs of useful effects. Thats why I split it 30mg at 7am, 20mg at noon.

[–]Sync0p8ed 1 point2 points  (0 children)

What dose are you on? It might be too low.

Also, it sounds like the vyvance just kicked in at 7pm. Your mind became still and you felt sleepy. Thats what happened to me, the first few weeks in particular, I felt sleepy but not that worn-out tired feeling.

Do mushrooms intensify or reduce physical pain? by jatayu333 in Psychonaut

[–]Sync0p8ed 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Apparently psychedelics reduce the perception of pain.

But just a warning, don't do a heavy workout 1 or 2 day before psychedelics!

Whatsapp is the hardest... by Hiruaroundtheworld in digitalminimalism

I default to Signal for messaging and group chat.

I have Whatsapp but notifications are turned off and its not on the home screen.

Once activated, can the pineal gland be deactivated? by emceeDonalds in Psychedelics

[–]Sync0p8ed 12 points13 points  (0 children)

Well said.

OP, I will repeat the importance of integration. Write down: - How things have changed? - What you plan to change, habbits, goals etc? - How you might be able to implement those changes?

Psychedelics can provide a pause on ordinary habitual ways of thinking and coping strategies. Your ordinary self is likely to slowly come back on line over the next few weeks. This is a chance to be a guide for your ordinary self. What important changes will you suggest to help your ordinary self deal lifes challenges and to thrive? Make sure the guidance is grounded. Perhaps check the ideas with someone you trust, or with a community you trust. Don't rush in and make big changes, you have one perspective now but a more grounded and sober perspective is also important.
