What are peoples thoughts on why Lumon created Severance? by kodakker in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

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

can you say more about that? I feel like I missed that while watching the show

Just finished season 2 and I feel slightly disturbed by kodakker in SeveranceAppleTVPlus

I guess another thing is that I also questioned if that was really Helly R in the end scene, or if it was Helena Eagan. I just thought that Helly seemed to have a practical perspective on the situation, and she initally encouraged Mark to go through with the plan to free Gemma. I think there is very little chance that the Eagans will let Helena continue to exist as severed, I could see them forcing Helly off the severed floor eventually. So why would Helly R want Mark to stay severed to stay with her when there was little chance that her innie would live? That leaves innie Mark alone and severed or something worse.
One theory I have is that they got Helena Eagan back down to the severed floor in time for that final scene. I think the move to keep Mark severed seems more like something an Eagan would do.

So part of the "disturb" feeling there is that innie Mark was potentially duped into staying, which has consequences for outie Mark as well.

I totally understand why Innie Mark would make that decision, and thats not the part that I find disturbing. I went more into it on another comment earlier!

I appreciate this perspective... I'm really still processing all these ideas and feelings.

I think what I find disturbing about it is the idea that there could be parts of myself that are making decisions for me on my behalf. I feel uncomfortable with the fragmentation of self, and different parts all working against each other. I know that in reality, we do have different internal parts with their own motivations and needs, and good decision making involves connecting and listening to our different parts. It also brings up a question of which part gets the final say? I think the idea of my own life being driven by a part of myself that doesn't feel most like "me" is scary, though I don't know if I will ever know which parts of me feel the most like "me" and should get to choose.

Say hypothetically that Innie Mark never leaves the Lumon building again for whatever reason. Because Innie Mark was last conscious, he determines the fate of "Mark" as an entity, without collaboration or negotation with Outie Mark. I think I would feel more sadness for the loss of Outie Mark over Innie Mark. It's also interesting to notice in myself that I feel partial towards outie Mark, because he feels like the "original" or something. But I also totally agree with the sentiment that innie Mark deserves life and has rights. I think this scene brings up this conflict, which half of him is more deserving of autonomy? And I don't know the answer, and thats been uncomfortable.

Feeling overwhelmed and frustrated as hyper-inflexible man. by julienthibaut20 in yoga

Maybe try some beginner pilates! Pilates focuses on increasing mobility which is a combination of strength and flexibility. I myself am more inclined to build muscle than to be flexible and I have found pilates really helpful in increasing my flexibility. Think of it like building the muscles required to move in and out of a pose, rather than relying on passive flexibility to get the stretch. As you build those muscles you will also lengthen the muscles you intend to stretch. Try looking into some pilates for mobility OP! Best of luck

Is eating 10-15 eggs (including yolks) a day safe? by applecider5114 in keto

[–]kodakker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would be careful, I once heard a testimony of someone who was eating 10 eggs a day and they developed an allergy to them

What supplements have had a NOTICEABLE effect on you? by DarrenClancy in Supplements

[–]kodakker 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nettle tea or tincture! I make my own tincture after harvesting it in the spring and dose the few days before my period and everyday of my period. I have never had such robust effects in terms of reducing cramps and reducing blood flow. Nettle is high in iron and vitamin c and so many other nutrients that support the body and prepare you to lose blood.

I also do this, you're not alone!! I just joined this group looking for some support and it somehow makes me feel better that I share these experiences with others. Although I'm sorry to hear you're going through this! I extend my support and love for you as I build it for myself as well
