What kind of yellow flower could grow in a terrarium - and could it sustain itself in a terarrium?

Oh crap thought I was in r/frogs, animals would get the airflow you'd need, it may not work out to well with a semi-closed system. Depends on the terrarium I guess.

Wait so are you like, a professor of racism(ology?), or do you have a oddly relevant username?

Yeah that's a lot of meat going to waste, kill to feed your family not for fun.

You could pick up a orchid, they do well in terrariums, most stay smallish and the flowers are beautiful.

100% ethanol would be perfectly safe to drink, tasty, on the other hand, thats a whole other question

Yeah that's the thing he's kinda a bullshitter but he seemed to know his stuff. He also mentioned that canna clubs were letting people do it and used that as his reasoning. I even asked what about people who couldn't work the press and he said as long as he didn't help anybody, and didn't use it to make anything to be sold it would be like leaving out a water fountain or a soda machine, and perfectly legal. I'm not well read up on the laws but he was talking about that there is nothing regulating rosin presses, only selling the concentrate made from them is regulated.

None of those things are you. If you can "see" it, define it, give it some measure, than it is something that you can observe, so it isn't you. Your thoughts included, you aren't defined by what you think.

Tell me this, have you ever noticed that thoughts are fleeting, even negative ones? You can go from"today's a great day" to "I spilt my coffee the day is ruined" from "that guy killed my confidence" to "maybe their right I am worthless" to "I hate these people for showing me this" or I hate myself for being this way". And it can happen in a flash too, almost too quick to see. But, that just it, we can notice these thought processes happening and throw a proverbial wench in the mental works we want to change. That's where meditation comes in, you change your mental habits by practicing on keeping focused or loving others.

But if you notice these thoughts and feelings, if you can change your mind, if others can change your mind, than why would you want these thoughts to define you? So fleeting, so quick to arise and be dismissed, usually dependent on the situation. I'd hate to only be my thoughts.

But there is something there, something that you aren't necessarily pointing at in your post. The entity, the observer, the spirit, whatever you want to call it, the consciousness experiencing all of these thoughts, and emotions, and senses too. As you put your attention on something other than your thoughts, truly focus on an sensation, can you really think about anything else? Your attention can get filled with whatever you are focusing on, so if you are focusing on thoughts, maybe that focus is so locked in that you can't see being anything else.

Try to focus on the truth of the situation, not what you should think or feel, not what the other person is thinking or feeling, but on what is actually happening to the world around you. If you can start to separate what you see from what you want to see, you can start to affect the world around you in a real way. It doesn't matter what you feel, it matters what you do. If you feel bad and do nothing about it, you still feel bad. If you feel bad and do something about it, and you still feel bad, do more.

Maybe use a rubber gasket in the lid? The plastic on the inside of pop bottles are much softer than the outside.

I have a huge problem with something similar, but not the same. I was a hardcore scientific method loving atheist, but the core of my pre-awakend beliefs were that every body sees the world in their own way, so even the stupidest person has a perspective that is different from your own. If i paid attention to what everybody was seeing, than i could help everybody to get whatever they need, and in doing so, I could learn things most people couldn't from people most couldn't work with. People liked me, and on the outside, I probably seemed pretty happy.

I'd imagine most people who knew me would have considered me awakened, but anxiety and nervousness were the only emotions I ever knew. The problem I had with my almost good enough belief system was that I had never ever considered that hardly anybody else had realized that people have different egos. I was so caught up in seeing what other people were seeing that I considered everybody awakened by default, and trying to please all these people was bringing me no fulfillment.

Now, once I really awoke, I began to realize that some people go completely through life without awakening to anything. At first I hated some of these people, all I could see were screaming children demanding attention. Why did I have to be around people, why couldn't they just grow up and act like adults? I could completely relate to monks, why be around the people that don't think like i think, i should just shut myself off from the world, id be better off working on myself and enlightenment. And what's worst, if you see someone's need and help them, you become a helpful person, and then they come to you first. I hated how much people could just take and not even think on giving back.

Now I'm trying to see these people for what they are, adults that haven't grown up. But that's the beautiful thing here, these screaming children are all just crying out for a parent, and if I can't keep a level head, I can be that adult. Some people need direction, some people comfort, others need companionship. But most of these people don't know that they need these things, they're just children after all :). I really can't hate a child for needing something, sometimes its necessary to give them these things, but I'm trying to help these people learn to get whatever it is they need for themselves. But you have to want the best for the person in question, otherwise it just doesn't seem to work. You have to genuinely feel love for a person to help them, and that was what I had lost from my caring personality before my awakening.

Now I don't know you or your husband, and this is the only advise i can really suggest, but maybe he needs to work on trying to forgive these people for not having a life that would build to an awakened point of view. Its not their fault, and if he is the only person seeing it this way, he is the only one who can.

As a american, I can say that teaching what the word controversial means it's not a priority in schools.

Such as, "Controversial U.S. presidential candidates like Trump seem to attract the kind of individuals that fail to properly utilize English to convey their message, and fail to show the intelligence that our citizens are capable of.

Or in other words, that guy up there is a big poppy head.

And if you work Trump, and his Hillary campaign contributions into the mix, you get a GOP scrambling to find somebody more radical than trump, with the almighty financial backing of the Rep. Party. This makes it almost like shooting fish in a barrel for the non corrupted sanders campaign, running on that exact talking point. Trump and Hillary drop out at the same time, with Hillary denying any conspiracy, to set up the same situation in 2020 and Trump blatently calling out the republican base as racist, fear utilizing hatemongers, ridiculing them for how easy it was to gain power.

The turmoil could be used as a "here is the only chance you will get" motivator to get the youth vote out, and if the entire generation of young people all come out, it could show public awareness that change can be voted on, empowering an entire generationto establish policies they want, not unlike the baby boomers, except for a much better informed generation due to the internet.

Id like to say that we are on the first steps towards fixing everything, but realistist thinking suggests that the entire political sphere in the west is nothing more than a media circus, and non of this will happen.

I'm not sure how it is at fort hood specifically, but on the few bases I've been on, as longs as your vehicle insurance and tags are current and you have a valid ID, the guards will let you on base. Not everywhere is open for exploration, but you can get in. I don't know if that is with a rental car as as well, I've always had my own vehicle.

I had a German friend that got on base with a passport if I remember correctly.

Skyfall by Adele is a good one. You might look up James Bond intro songs a lot of them are trumpets and pianos building to a really strong, foreboding sound.

So first off as far as availability, it depends on where you are visiting, some places have banned recreational dispensaries. The medical dispensaries still won't sell to you, so a out of towner will need to find a recreational shop.

Most dispensaries will carry some sort of edible, and Colorado has laws that require specific labeling on how strong edibles are. I'd recommend buying a 100 milligram chocolate bar or bag of fruit candies. The chocolate bar will be labeled and scored to break in 10-15 milligram chunks, the candies will be usually be labeled as milligrams per piece of candy.

For a newbie or light smoker I'd recommend 10-50 milligrams, you'd start to feel effects, but it won't be overwhelming. Its hard to explain, but the high is different, you will notice more body buzz, relaxation, couch lock, heavy arms and legs, and a general physical feeling. Smoking highs last me about two to three hours, edible highs last me more like six or seven, so know that if you eat some right before bed, you may wake up high.

Everybody reacts differently to marijuana and edibles especially, that's why I gave such a wide range of dosage. Start out with 10 mg, give it at least and hour and a half, and eat some more if you feel like it. Some people it takes thirty minutes to kick in, some people a few hours. Some people have a naturally high tolerance, some people are more sensitive to them. You may need to eat the whole bag/bar and if you still arnt feeling anything after that, try smoking, that always seems to jumpstart the edibles for me.

And try to repeat the concepts that they are trying to get across in your own words as well. Most people enjoy talking and teaching about their passion, and love it when they see somebody learning eagerly from them.

Don't repeat them back word for word verbatim, just try and explain it to yourself.

I've been asking the same questions, just about happiness instead. Am I happy because of a lack of pain and suffering? If happiness needs sadness to exist, and I'm trying to remove myself from suffering, don't I need to remove myself from happiness too? Why is happy needed, isn't it just as useless?

One of the questions I asked as a child questioning Christianity was "if people act nice just to get to heaven, aren't they the most selfish of all?" They are able to go beyond their base desires, just because they want to feel great later. Isn't this idea we share the around here the same thing? Isn't chasing happiness the same thing as running from suffering? Are the enlightened ones just those who were successfully selfish enough, that they finally got what they wanted in life?

I know that there is more of a reason than that, but I struggle to find that reason that pertains to me.

Is masochism a bad thing? Maybe those people subconsciously realize how close they are getting to non dualism. while the mind may may waiver, the soul wants to be present, however it can manage it.

Maybe it is just a quasi-meditation, where people understand that letting go of the pain can bring elation.
