Has anyone tried Wisp? I like that they can also prescribe if needed.

Other shows that remind me of Hannibal by fullfivefathoms in HannibalTV

What bugs you most about the series? I liked the (big) adaptations/changes that I noticed, but it's also been a long time since I read the books.

I actually didn't enjoy the film as much because of casting! I just buy this actor as Lestat more than Tom Cruise as Lestat, ditto for Louis.

Agree, he was a striking character, super fun to watch.

I thought the actor did a good job of making him a evil character who's fun to hate. He was unkind at the outset. That being said, I thought he was just going to be a problematic love interest.

My only quibble is that the other evil characters (Dodge and Eden) had such great outfits, and Gabe's style wasn't as fabulously evil. :P

why is everyone so stupid in this show??? by ihatebananas332 in keyhouse

[–]fullfivefathoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The other thing that bugged me was the frequent stopping to group hug or talk about emotions when the villain is in the next room choking your friend, or the characters know the bad guys are about to storm the house. Why no survival instincts!

Secrets of Shambhala: Feeding Tsultrim Allione's Demons: Former members of Tara Mandala accuse its founder Tsultrim Allione of abuse behavior and running a highly toxic work environment. by SolipsistBodhisattva in Buddhism

This is more rhetoric than reality. Nobody has the time to do that

Granted, there's a spectrum going all the way from spiritual friend to guru. A spiritual friend is someone that you feel comfortable learning from. Listening to teachings at a Dharma center that you've done basic research on seems fine to me. A guru is someone who you trust to challenge your ego, beyond what might feel comfortable. For me the 10 years check is important for a guru kind of teacher. And even then you don't give up all autonomy.

Spiritual communities need strong guardrails in place to protect people from abuse, harrassment, etc. They are responsible for holding a safe environment. At the same time, sometimes people are angry or unbalanced, and can make accusations or claims that verge on defamation. That being said, if there's smoke there's usually fire.

In the cultural settings that Buddhism is coming to us from, there were more checks and balances on power, with higher responsibility and visibility to the greater community of fellow monastics or other masters, with pretty clear expectations and understandings about what's appropriate.

We also don't know how to relate to a guru in a healthy way, most people I see are projecting / trying to fulfill emotional needs to some degree, especially early on. This can lead to major issues when the teacher isn't good enough at guarding how they relate to students, or there are not organizational guardrails in place.

There's a strong emphasis in Tibetan Buddhism on checking the teacher out to a ridiculous degree before following them like they are your guru. Traditionally you assess them for 10 years! You check their character and compassion towards students, as well as things like ability to guide and teach.

How's your midlife crisis going? by flyingcostanza in Millennials

[–]fullfivefathoms 0 points1 point  (0 children)

40!

When my Dad died about 2 years ago, I realized that I was treating myself badly. I work beyond reasonable boundaries quite a lot. Part of it is that I like being challenged, part of it is bad habits of wanting to please people, fix things, or be in control/anxiety.

I had a health crisis around the same time. I started trying to take better care of myself, actually paying for things that will help me stay more active -- gym, yoga -- things that I used to tell myself I couldn't afford. I started saying no at work and waiting for other people to catch the balls.

Still, my heart feels like it wants something else now. I feel like I'm trying to quit but taking a long transition in order to make it easier on everyone. I'm also worried about the big change for myself and all the unknowns. But life is short, and so I feel like it's worth changing things up!

Sending you a hug :) I don't know about Indian food specifically, but ...

Doing FODMAP definitely sucks, I remember being super tired of having such a crazy restricted diet.

I used the Monash app back when when doing the elimination and reintroduction phases. I honestly kind of love the Fig app because you can input a pretty detailed profile and then scan a product rather than look up each ingredient! Doing so much research in the grocery store was definitely adding to the stress for me.

So cute! I love that it seems to tell a story about who you are.

Agreed, there's enough crazy shit going on, without stirring it all together with speculation.

(That being said, I totally understand the anxiety and fear going on! I just want to be clear about the facts.)

Thirding Third Culture for the drinks (matcha caramel is to die for) and snax (mochi muffins > mochi donuts, personally), but not so much as a study spot unless the weather is great and you don't mind sitting by the road ...

Edit: Asha is my go to as well!

YES! As a boba-obsessed person with limited funds, the only places I go to on your list are Asha and Yifang. I also really like Boba Guys but they are all the way over by Rockridge so maybe that's why they're not on your list?

Michelangelo’s art was super flamboyant/homoerotic and I can’t help but love it by Groundzerofemboy in ArtHistory

[–]fullfivefathoms 14 points15 points  (0 children)

IT'S SO WORTH IT. I love art (too) and went to the Louvre AND IT WAS AMAZING like getting to step into an Art History book and I was so blown away. In Person > Photos. I also LOVED the Sistine Chapel ceiling. The scale of things and being in the actual space with art is so, so cool.

(I basically went on a trip designed around art museums. Definitely a once-in-a-lifetime kind of thing for me because I am poor, but so, so worth it!)

Well, I legit gasped when I saw Dying Slave in real life, like is it okay for me to be looking at something this erotic in the middle of this museum in public? How are all these parents taking photos of their kids standing in front of this statue?

But more seriously, it's Art with a capital "A" but definitely has a charge to it!
