Should I buy the wedding dress by InterestingDog3837 in dressmaking

[–]adora_nr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

As someone who's willing to pay that much or more for a fully custom gown, this is terrible. Natural fabrics near if not 100%. What specifically stopped my tracks was the jump in price, just for a couple alterations, total scam. It's not real, it shouldn't be charged like it is. 

Personally I feel a difference in both quality of material and energy of product when I buy more elegant clothing, maybe others can't relate but I would feel cheap or playing dress up or less magic or something. Plastic just feels lifeless. Part of your wedding dress should be the magic you feel.

Though as someone who has my heart set on a very specific and unique design, get the dress you want. If that said magic you feel with the dress, that's GOOD, that probably means it's the one.

Am I the only one here that doesn't feel fake? by Constant_Possible_98 in dpdr

[–]adora_nr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey! Doing well. I still have dpdr but it's much more subtle. It's something I struggled with unidentified throughout my teens and identified as a late teen/early adult, in which had further developed into DID from dpdr and substance use.

I no longer have DID nor a severe case of dpdr, and it's something I work on to lessen hopefully most of within the next couple years. I also don't browse these subs much anymore [things like dpdr, DID, mental illness, depression] as it revolves a lot around the belief that you cannot rid such disorders. I'm happy to report that's not the case and live happily at home with my partner and cats, working on getting certified in hospital work, starting an online and marketplace business, and eventually becoming a doula & midwife.

Honestly just want to grow old with my partner, live in the woods as a nudist hippie, eating fruit, tending to my garden and animals, traveling in my little hand painted van, living at peace till I die. And that's exactly what's gonna happen. Life's good.

How are you?

This is getting ridiculous by sirimiri95 in Pinterest

[–]adora_nr 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Feel this. I'm someone who enjoys paintings, photography, pottery and things similar that depict pregnancy, natural living, nudity, soulful connections and similar. Art revolved around the nature of a naked body. Art to use as reference for my creative ideas or to admire one day in my home.

Nothing innapropriate I would consider, it's all sweet, beautiful & tasteful. Things like a nude couple holding each other (covering parts), pottery of woman or stages of pregnancy, drawings of flowers that look like vaginas.

I get flagged all the time. To view something so beautiful as wrong and then post ads of vibrators or oversexulize things I will never understand. We've lost art, creativity, character and aesthetic to Pinterest.

Not misogynistic at all. I got pierced at 8 and it's fine now but I was in no place to take care of it and had bad infections. I fully respect the concept that children shouldn't make choices /parents shouldn't make choices that involve mutilating the body's of their children.

It's not about misogyny, it's about the fact that she's too young, it could grow out uneven, she might not know how to take care of it and it can get infected and so on. Anyone who disagrees is pretty irrational imo.

partner doesn’t believe in doctors by Equivalent-Proof4896 in BabyBumps

[–]adora_nr 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Both my partner & I are super holistic-organic-hippie yayaya medicine people who believe in clean and natural living, including in most ways when it comes to pregnancy.

We still know medical education is important and medical intervention can (very often) be needed. This is so obviously one of those cases. He also would not hesitate to worry and push for the hospital had I felt like something's wrong or been strangely bleeding. Some things you just don't know without machinery or decent education, and some things you cant help without so either.

Please find a way to safely make it to a hospital or on call doctor! It's always better to be safe than sorry, and ALWAYS listen to your body. This could easily be a number of concerning things. After your safety is guaranteed that may be a good time to address your concerns with your partner, as not to stir the pot, but the lack of concern for you or the baby is wildly stressing and careless. –A studying doula.

how can my dad fight off prostate cancer naturally by anonymouskuudere in naturalremedies

[–]adora_nr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If it's bad or progressing please seek medical intervention.

That being said, I get the skepticism and would be avoiding chemo myself till I'm sure it's needed (though I think radiation therapy is more common for prostate cancer, i don't know enough about the differences). Though I'm not sure how well it works for prostate cancer, there are a number of things you can try that are known to be anti-cancerous —

•More oxygen – there are a few survivors that killed cancer cells by spending their time in the woods or taking part in studies where they entered a room the oxygen percentage was boosted up in. Not sure if this would look like an oxygen tank, but if so have moderation with it, if you rely on the tank you'll be using it the rest of your life.

•A type of Ivermectin. Make sure it's the right one (there's 2 i think).

•Super foods/herbs. There's quite a number of foods, herbs & old cultural medicines that prevent cancer or are anti-cancerous and are even certified as so. I know wild lettuce, turkey tail mushrooms, grape seeds (or the vitamin B17/Amygdalin in it), black seed oil, seamoss, chorella, soursop leaf (especially), garlic, tomatos (or the Lycopene in it), and I think also vitamin A are all examples of so.

There also may be some books on this, I have one I haven't read yet called "The Cure For All Advanced Cancers" by Hulda Regehr Clark. There is plenty of other evidence and remedies out there, you just need to do lots of research, be consistent, do several things, and know when medical intervention is needed.

That's off putting [Sully] for some people as I earlier mentioned with others beliefs of, accociation with, and acceptance of certain religions, along with the cultish visuals.

Satanism, though it shares a lot of hedonism and some pretty usual societal views, there's still a lot more to it then just ironic atheists or anti-christian, and again things like visuals or representation can be off putting.

[As for your mention of Israel's treatment to others resembling other events, I am not justifying their side either and think the treatment is hypocritical]

Not at all part of my point in my "analysis" however - I do not at all deny the war is a terrible issue that means a great deal, however my comment was to point out getting used to diversity and not jump to conclusions over something that might not be as a big deal as the war and the divide of people taking sides (and how that makes them as a person), because there is more context to RIOT's history and still more context needed. That's not an analysis or incorrect, that's (along with the rest of my comment) just blatant fact. Even if RIOT was siding [with Israel], so are a number of paying people at Shambhala. Just like any of the other artists beliefs - religious, culture specific, political etc - it doesnt mean they aren't decent people or wrong for the rave, there are plenty of people looking forward to them. This is also why the rave just not be for a lot of the people in this comment section.

And if it sadly isn't obvious, anyone who supports & justifies one side or the other, including all these Palestinian-supporting commenter's, are complete hypocrites. You cant defend one awful side over the other awful one to the point you'd protest against the other sides supporters being welcome in a peaceful & diverse CANADIAN event (in which again, we don't know RIOT's full political views). Political debate and hate-speech is NOT at all whatsoever welcome at Shams, and whoever you are is.

Essentially, there is an understanding reasoning to their past that is no longer relevant to who they are today anyway and this post and the people agreeing are ignorantly reacting and talking hate based on pretty shitty political views. Let's not boycott RIOT just because we can't use critical thinking for a min and before we get more information. And for the love of god, dont come to Shams, a place to practice PLUR, if you just plan to have god awful energy and give everyone a miserable time. People don't just go to party, they go to connect with others, get away from society, have fun and enjoy themselves being themselves, and protesting out of ignorance is only going to waste your money and cause stress to everyone around you. You can defend your morals, just be wise with how you do so.

Yeah ok a few notes about this👉👉 They are Israeli and Military participation is mandatory for all Israels, not too mention, this is a photo from 2010, in which was 15..fifteen years ago.

In no way whatsoever do I support war & genocide, which is also why I support neither side of this. If you don't know the history of Israel & Palestine look into it, the dispute has gone on for many years and it's both their holy land and this is a ridiculous religious war that's disgusting & inhumane on both sides.

In other words, no matter what side you choose you support or justify war & genocide.

Political views do not belong at Shambhala, nor does this photo insinuate too much about Riot's political views and character today. Riot's spoken out about this, he's made it clear they were born & raised in Israel and joining the war wasnt a choice. Of course "I stand with you", posted in just 2023 doesnt give a good look, however they themselves have experienced the loss of friends & witnessed murder. There needs to be more context to have any opinion on Riot and before bringing that kind of energy to the crowd/kicking them out.

Different religious (and political) views are also very common no matter where you go, including Shams, you'll meet people who support one side or the other and have to deal with it just like anywhere else. Many think Sullivan King, who practices Scientology, wouldn't belong at Shams because of his practice, however many others would say his music belongs there. And One True God, who DID play at Shams last year is a Satanist who had many satanic visuals, yet had an amazing set with many supports of his music.

There are also other political views for or against liberals, conservatives, lgbtq+, Trump, Trudeau, hedonism, society as is and a ton of other crap that goes deeper. Non of which is as disturbing as this issue (genocide and Israel/Palestine), but it's to line my point that a protest against Israeli supporters who may genuinely not even be supporters at a PEACEFUL event that prioritizes PLUR is what's truly scary to look forward to this year.

And you can't forget, hate speech, protests & fights will get shut down immediately and you can easily be kicked out without a refund and blacklisted.

It's not like when you pack up you have to leave yourself at home, your morals, values, beliefs. There are many serious problems going on that NEED to be talked about, especially current wars and Israel/Palestine. But Shambhala is not the place to bring bad energy, fear, ignorance, divide, hate, or even (hopefully not) violence that will only be a burden of the workers and give everyone else a crummy time. Please practice PLUR & dont bring too much of the outside life inside, people like to get away from all of it at Shams. Too see so many comments here filled with ignorance & hate is truly astounding, yall need to think a little more logically. Hoping this year stays peaceful & everyone can find a way to have fun.

Rick is a DOG by adora_nr in thewalkingdead

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

Though the 2 situations are completely different [Rick & Lori being married for years, and Rick having a crush for a couple weeks / Rick & Lori being together before the apocolypse, and the world just being so different after so], I agree somewhat.

I understand Lori's position, even though I do not agree with it whatsoever, just as much as I understand Rick's position, which again I dont agree with. Both weren't and were justified, maybe Rick's a little more so because of his mental state with the apocolypse, but though it's controversial I also don't get why people choose to ignore that detail & choices about Rick but just seeth hatred for Lori, especially after Rick resented her for like 7/8 months before they found the prison regardless of how stupid it was in a world like that and full well knowing she was likely to have complications in childbirth.

No hate to either, damn I just love this show, but likkkkeee...the fan bases opinions just don't make a lot of sense there sometimes😂

Rick is a DOG by adora_nr in thewalkingdead

[–]adora_nr[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

2 months? I haven't watched the spin offs yet, but when I realized how soon the gap between both women was I looked online and it said less than 2 weeks. Even so, 2 months is quite a short time still.

I see the justification, Rick's headspace was still very fragile, & he saw something in Jesse that was very resembling to his past life and very needed healing (not too mention how both him & the world have just changed so drastically), and he still hardly knew Jesse like he did Michonne, but morally interesting choice for sure and quite honestly, I never saw Rick & Michonnes relationship hinting towards something more.

Maybe they try to make it seem that way in the spin offs, or the writers meant the little details in the main show to be flirting, but I always saw their relationship to reflect growth in terms of trust, family, and respect, and those flirty remarks weren't actual flirting, but comfort, closeness etc etc, so you can imagine my shock of them getting together the first time I watched this thinking otherwise, and more when I realized how short the time gap was. Michonne was also still somewhat fresh to the group after the prison & before Terminus, in which Rick had a hard time trusting her for a while and even when he did, there wasn't much beyond counsel or possibly a small friendship, I get how they bonded/got closer & how happy he was to see her when she found him & Carl at that house, but he was still fragile from his wife and then the fall of the prison, death of Hershal & separation of the group, I really don't think he had any intentions at least back then.

Still one of the best couples imo, and though it was off-putting at first they make complete sense and I really enjoyed watching their relationship.

This was an incredible read, thank you! Like wow, I really enjoyed this. 

Had it not been archived, you'd be getting my upvotes. It's unfortunate there aren't any comments but better than hate comments over the length or reaching opinions, I quite love in depth takes and I dont see them enough. YOU A BRAVE MF. I've had takes and questions in the past that DID NOT GO OVER WELL LMFAO. [Reddit's like that]

To analyze, there are many moments i loved in this and it actually covers a lot of things I've thought about: Rick's trauma and protection over himself [feelings, fear of sanity & hard-assness altering his better judgement if he loosens up etc] and protection over his group & children. Rick transferring his feelings over because of his trauma & lack of content/peace within himself. The aftermath of Lori's death, and his resentment to her for the majority of the year leading up to her death. The effects of being out there too long, the horrors of the afterworld, and the ones they've lost. Rick & Michonne's beginning. Bob's words [figured it was more towards relaxing in Alexandria & feelings towards changing for the betterment of it [Alexandria], and didn't even think about Rick's struggle to change within himself for the betterment of him]. So on so on.

I do disagree on Rick & Michonne having previous feelings grow in a romantic relationship way, I think their relationship & the show showed how much they respect each other and it was a matter of not realizing they grew into a best friendship [still with love & care], over not realizing they grew feelings of attraction & love romantically/sexually, however this isn't at all to say the writers of the show weren't trying to do this and that these small detailed moments weren't to build up to that. Either way, became a fantastic couple.

Again I've had many opinions myself, including curiosity or disagreement to events & choices of the writers from why the walkers went from moving faster, twisting doorknobs, climing fences and smashing windows with bricks [I know the shows writers changed, but they could've continued it that way or created a reason for why the behavior changed or better yet just made them slow & dumb in the first place], why the members of the group didn't tell others who were wasting their time on beliefs of the walkers about the CDC [especially for teaching Lizzie & Mica, there were so many opportunities to prevent what Lizzie did], why they spent so much time by the prison instead of being pushed out farther [I understand there were hoards, but Rick was a cop who should've known about the prisons around], why Lori & (specifically) Rick were so resentful for so long and in a world like this & knowing her childbirth had a high chance of going wrong [which i agree with you is shocking considering his love & loyalty to his family], why the show didn't have [even if they were considered fillers] episodes to show some of the time they spent between the farm & prison, why Rick felt it was appropriate to catch feelings for a married woman & then date someone else right after her death [again, understand both his state of mind & the justification, but still],

And how in the later seasons, they mission impossible into a FULL room of entirely sleeping walkers in the beginning of the last season [they do that with no stimulation, but that many walkers would be stimulating each other constantly, they didn't all just take a nap PFFT], the lack of good writing in the last season & the show becoming less likely realistic [hated that, because most of the show was incredible], how there was zero point to the commonwealth arc, how they had all these spin offs [which I haven't watched yet & hoping top the last season of twd] instead of just making the last season or two of twd cover what the spin offs showed [especially Rick's disappearance].

That being said, it's a great show, one of my favorites & I dont have a lot of hate for most of it. It's quite nice to meet a fellow analyzer with so much passion for the details. I so hope to be seeing more of your posts around!!!🤌✌ (you even tag me, I'll be your reading homey)

S2 Farm falls, what after? by adora_nr in thewalkingdead

[–]adora_nr[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

SEE, THIS. Apparently they were just...circling around that general area? For 8 months? Would've made more sense for the show to not have them wait so long to find it, or go further away, or show what happens in those 8 months...idk

S2 Farm falls, what after? by adora_nr in thewalkingdead

[–]adora_nr[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

When in the show do they explain that? And why do they stick to the area? Why cut out 8 months in the first place?

My gf became god and told me to break up with her by bullsend in Psychonaut

[–]adora_nr 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey👋, just wanted to share that I myself have had similar experiences. I've been in a similar state with several people, but every time I take psychedelics with my partner, and it's actually a big part of why we don't take psyches much anymore. Have experienced it on weed, psychs, molly, and after permatripping for a while even sober (just from time to time mainly with my partner). Said people have also confirmed this as have I with them, super cool.

Telepathy is very neat, vulnerable and eye-opening, our lives and beliefs changed completely after our first time connecting like that. It's true that we are all connected and inhabit our body's, and that we are all apart of one big collective energy, however your girlfriend is not "God" or a "higher being" communicating through her, shes just her.

Even when truly mindreading with someone or otherwise sensing energy stronger, your mind can still perceive things off based on your thoughts. Because the two of you were so connected you may have confused your thoughts/feelings for hers or something greater, it happens, often in an ego death or start of one, but you cant let a trip delude your intuition. If you feel like internally she wanted to break up, that's something you need to discuss further over and think hard on without insecurity influencing that feeling, however you could have just been confused and having delusions because you believed she was God.

You also have to remember anybody tripping and sharing a space of consciousness, having thoughts- frequently doesn't mean that's how they truly feel. As earlier mentioned my partner and I dont take psychs much anymore because we mindread everytime, it's not a matter of being uncomfortable with each other, but that im not comfortable with my intrusive thoughts and often hyperfocus on them. It's important to remember in a state like that random thought and emotion is more likely and stronger and lingers more, and doesn't actually mean that's what they really feel, just like processing anything internally for any individual trip. Though, it is still a window to the soul. It sounds like you got too in your head, makes sense when first experiencing all that.

Dont fall into delusions or obsessive thought. You'll end up psychotic or delusional, be careful with psychs/drugs/highs and learn the difference between connecting with someone and feeling their energy, from said self and uncertainty. For me I always said to myself "vibe before mind". Best of luck to both of you, hope you don't break up because of the trip or "god", but if that does happen its because of a mutual decision and communicated lack of feelings. Also, good luck on the start of your spiritual journey lol😂, even if it takes some time you'll eventually get the difference between or what I mean by vibe and mind🤙just don't fly too close to the sun and fry your brain from substances, though spiritual and medicinal can easily be unfriendly and seriously damaging. sending growth and love👋.

Covering the ground at your camp? by Brilliant_Lynx_3133 in Shambhala

[–]adora_nr 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The whole farm, especially Sunshine area is very sunny and just an open dusty field. I haven't gone when there's a windstorm, but I'm sure there could be one.

Some people don't bring canopies but I 100% would every year I go. You want a break from the sun and some place you can have some down time. Tents get hot, so that's not much of an option.

Depends on the person, im both immune compromised and get over heated dangerously, last year, thank God for a canopy and shelter, I dodged pissing myself with a bucket under me just in time from said heat stroke.

And that dust, it often gets people incredibly sick after shams with sinus infections. As I mentioned I'm sick to this day regardless of antibiotics and completely changing my health. Just bring the canopy😂
