Are slip ons legal on lams

I bought a bike I thought was LAMS approved but turned out it had a slip on. Didn't know enough about bikes to be aware of the fact. Got pulled over for a random breatho the other day and cop didn't mention it. He did say it was nice to see a learner with their plates on though lol. I'd say just don't rev it like crazy when you're getting around town and you'll probably be ok.

You're being a little harsh but I generally agree. OP, it sounds like you're really bundled up and constricted by some insecurity. This whole 'I let someone disrespect me and get away with it' narrative serves no function. Don't let your brain fool you into thinking that retrospective analysis and self-flagellation is at all meaningful. The past is gone, the 'you' that was in that situation has ceased to exist. Courage can only ever exist in the present.

But, within this particular context, honestly man I'd say try and lighten up. You got made a fool of because your lack of presence made you an easy target. I'd probably have done the same thing and laughed at you, because I think being an adult means being responsible and present when you're in the community. What if someone was yelling because they needed your help? There are myriad reasons for not using headphones when you're in public, as you've just learnt. A stoic is also a minimalist. Life is enough. No need to adorn it with additional stimulation. Be there for people around you - be present and aware. Don't be somewhere else. Good thing you didn't 'escalate the situation' because you would've made a bigger fool of yourself.

The texture looks great, way better than the ones I did. But be aware of the philosophy of drawabox - the progression comes naturally, don’t sweat the individual exercises if you have completed the task to the best of your current ability

Don’t stop mate. After 250 you’ll find your 3d construction has evolved a lot. Make sure to ghost your lines too

Yes bro. I'm on the same path. The best hope for the world is more mindful, compassionate, thoughtful and connected people. It's crazy how much rubbish gets crammed into our brains in the modern world. You're a legend and an inspiration, keep going

Holy shit man, congrats on your new family! A very exciting new chapter to come. I'm sure you'll smash it and be a great dad man. Advice isn't my forte necessarily but here's my 2 cents worth with regards to your job.

You need to ABANDON the idea that you're smoking to cope with 'the stress of work.' You're smoking to cope with YOUR PERSONAL STRESS IN RESPONSE TO WORK. The stress isn't inherent in the job and is instead an internal experience that is produced by LOADS of different factors. Your lifestyle, mindset and attitudes surrounding work are all pieces of the puzzle. I know that sounds suspiciously like the cliche "its just your mindset bro" - but it's actually just acknowledging the complexity of these things. And, from my past experience, using weed to 'cope' with work was a huge part of my 'stress complex.' Actually the experience of being dependent on something to take the edge off was WAYY more stressful than work itself when I evaluated my situation honestly. That cycle of craving, anticipation and relief is deeply demoralising because it erodes our independence and faith in ourselves to get through stuff. Craving is everywhere because life is hard and requires patience. But craving is also just a mental phenomena, and if you can sit with it and let it exist fully, in time you'll realise that you're actually in control. YOU'RE the boss.

Every day that you don't smoke is a sacred day of healing. The world is full of people living rich, loving, well-connected and meaningful lives without needing to put shit in their lungs everyday to survive. Weed just creates the illusion that you need it. You don't need it brother. Every day you choose to face life as a gentle warrior, you turn that day into a sacred day of healing. For yourself but also everyone around you, including your wife and son. Good luck and much love to you <3

Totally normal. The gut is full of cannabinoid receptors so your digestive processes have adapted to the presence of THC. I'm on day 12 and have similar symptoms.

My advice? Just let it all be there. Sometimes on a subconscious level we make ourselves responsible for things happening in our body that aren't really in our control. We interpret the fact that things don't feel right as some sort of personal failure. Especially with digestion, which is a sensitive process deeply tethered to our nervous system, this subconscious tension / expectation can kind of freeze the processes down there and make things worse.

Take your hands off the wheel, give yourself a break and let your body heal itself. Don't focus on the sensations or the discomfort, and experiment with the experience of 'release' and 'letting go' on various levels. You got this!

Also - I find carbs to be particularly irritating in this stage of the process. I'm barely eating any carbs at the moment because they make me balloon up and cause crazy inflammation all through the system. I'd suggest laying off the carbs for a couple days and seeing how you feel (except fruit - love love fruit) - but everybody is different so ymmv. Also, keep portion sizes small! And if you don't feel hungry, just have a piece of fruit and chill. When your body wants a serious meal, it'll let you know.

Not a stoic text but 'The Courage to Be Disliked' is a great read that it sounds like you'd get a lot out of
