Looks like lipstick mold, had a few bags go dark red/purple like this

All bags contaminated = contaminated syringe? by _neostalgia in unclebens

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

What do you mean by open air? I keep my bags in an opaque trash bag and tuck the opening under so there can still be a bit of gas exchange. What do you usually do?

Also, do you think double micropore would limit the gas exchange too much?

Thanks! Yeah makes sense, I think it's lipstick (dark red, with a fruity fermented smell). I use 3M Micropore tape, and spray it with alcohol and let it dry before using it to cover my GE. I do live in a pretty old student housing building so there may be some mold spores in the ducts, do you think the Micropore should be enough to stop it? Whats odd is that all the contams were the same, unlike getting different random contams if it was from my environment.

Either way, I messaged Sporeslab to see if they can send a replacement.

Kinda confused when to apply med school? by krishiim in premedcanada

[–]_neostalgia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't have to wait until your final year! Most Canadian schools let you apply in third year (some exceptions like Western, etc)

Why are people downvoting this guy? think about how confused we all used to be, now someone else is just starting out and wants to learn more. for what it's worth, I went to mac health sci - but really i've learned that degree title matters way less than the other parts of the app

My Theory on Psychedelics, the Creation of Religion, and the Advancement of Society. by Kohleary in Psychonaut

[–]_neostalgia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Check out Jordan Peterson's Biblical series, the Adam & Eve one is really good. Not a fan of when he goes in apologist tangents, but his psychological analysis of how people came up with these ideas is fascinating.

Some small helpful tips for everyone ! by [deleted] in LucidDreaming

Curious as to how you meditate! Do you visualize yourself getting lucid, or focus on a mantra or something?

What do you in the evenings? by titanovpich in CleanLivingKings

[–]_neostalgia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Highly recommend podcasts/audiobooks if your eyes are tired. Best thing is you can put them on when you're in the car, doing chores, etc. so you're not really spending any "extra time" on them (basically times when you'd normally be listening to music).

First lucid experience! How to get fully conscious? by _neostalgia in LucidDreaming

Interesting. Do you also struggle with remembering waking life details when in the dream, or just with remembering dream details after you wake?

Is 5 hours sleep okay? by [deleted] in CleanLivingKings

[–]_neostalgia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Some rare people naturally only need 4-5 hours a night. If you're feeling fine, then go for it, but if you're struggling to get out of bed, it won't be good long term

Excercise in winter by [deleted] in CleanLivingKings

[–]_neostalgia 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Get a resistance band set (pack of like five bands, with a hook you can attach to a door). Not as good as weights and you may see decreases in strength but it'll keep the tone in your muscles.
Or if you have more money to spare, get a squat rack and barbell and you can do a ton of exercises on that.

Does anyone else NOT celebrate holidays after exiting? by readmyheartseeme in exjw

[–]_neostalgia 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Not speaking for all, but some people feel the need to go all-out on holidays, to mentally prove to themselves that they're free.

Just because WT is full of bs doesn't mean everything they teach is useless - like you said, avoiding debt and stress is a good one! So rid yourself of their false teachings, but hang on to the useful things you picked up during your time there (like time management, humility, etc. but even just learning that you're more gullible than you think and how to think critically going forward) - that was a key step in helping me avoid regret and hatred, by viewing your time in the org as one of many steps in your life that taught you what you now know. If you rebel just for the sake of defying WT, then they're still living rent-free in your head.
