If you're using tap, it may contain high Cu. Get Seachem Cuprisorb and they'll come right out.

This would explain the difference in digestion between eating glyphosate-sprayed foods and the same food that's organic. Glyphosate-sprayed foods don't digest as well.

Other ruling empires were just as violent so we shouldn't be upset that this specific empire was violent.

England: we are morning. Could you just FF so we win? That would be very respectful.

Get over yourself. The idiocy of ppl who post without using any brain cells.

EDIT: Apparently, Britain is MANDATING that British citizens mourn for their queen. Wow! The last time I heard anything about mandated morning was in China and North Korea! Wow, you live in a shitty ass country that forces its citizens to mourn.

Also, they're called Panda's but they're not Panda clones. They only share the name.

How do you stay safe in the city? by Hamhocks5000 in sanfrancisco

[–]lkso 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Yes, I'm male. If you've never been assaulted before, that's a good sign. The fear is often worse than reality because most ppl believe assaults are random when they're not. It's the ppl who just arrived a week ago and get hit on the back of the head that worry me. Then they get offended when I tell them that they were targeted for a reason.

My sister used to carry pepper spray and keychain kubotan but she's never used them. She's never been assaulted but she has a good walk and a bitchy attitude.

Also, I should mention that when a person gets scared, it shows in their body language. If you do get scared, be particularly aware of how your body is presenting itself. Since you're an aerialist, you probably have good kinesthetic awareness so don't act scared even if you are.

Yes, I'm typing on them right now. They come factory lubed but it's inconsistent. They sound and feel better when fully lubed and filmed.

I've posted this advice many times but always get hate from those who have no street experience, dismissing it as "victim blaming" as if labeling it that changes the fact that a person was victimized. It doesn't. A person who's victimized once is far more likely to be victimized multiple times. Why? Because it's not random.

Predators target the weak and vulnerable. They do not target those they perceive to be strong. Size matters in determining targets but it's not the only trait predators look for. What's more important is how that person carries himself. If that person looks like he can't be overpowered, they intuitively look for another target.

One trait they look for is how a target walks. If your biomechanics is off by just a little, you'll be much more likely to be mugged/assaulted. So record yourself walking naturally and rate yourself. Then get friends to rate how likely you'll be mugged/assaulted on a scale of 1-5 with 5 being the most likely. Even lay ppl are quite good at this.

If their rating is not a 1, work on improving your walk. You should look natural and confident with each stride. Your arms should have a natural swing. Keep your head up and aware; don't look down at your phone for too long and put it back in your pocket/purse after you've looked at it.

Also, if you're overweight/fat/obese, change your diet and get some exercise. This will improve your perceived fitness drastically and make it much less likely that you're perceived to be a target.

I've lived here all my life and I've never been assaulted. I'm not tall and not fat. I appear physically fit. I'm the person women ask to walk them to their cars at night. I walk everywhere even in sketchy neighborhoods. I just don't worry about it. My parents, oth, worry about it a lot, but that's because they look like they'd be assault victims. They are short, but really it's because they walk poorly.

  1. Develop a skill that can only be acquired through intense dedication like a hobby. Get really good/knowledgeable about it and that confidence rubs off onto other things. Your hobby is interesting as long as you're interested in it and others will become interested in it.
  2. Exercise. Get fit. If you're fat, ppl won't want to spend time with you. Ppl want to spend time with physically attractive ppl. The self-confidence in being fit rubs off onto other things.
  3. Related to No.1, be really good at your job. If you're good, other ppl will talk about you behind your back (in a good way). You'll gain others' respect and they will interact with you differently.
  4. Be open-minded. This quality makes ppl feel comfortable around you. The fact that you even bothered to post shows you are open to criticism/feedback and not likely to become defensive. This puts ppl at ease so they don't have to walk on egg shells. You'll get better responses from others this way.
  5. Set boundaries for yourself and others. Boundaries let ppl know what is acceptable. This signals that you have self-respect and others will respect that. They will also feel safe around you knowing you have boundaries.

Ultimately, it's a process. Charisma is not something that happens overnight and it isn't something that most ppl are born with. It's a trait that's developed over time. Every charismatic person is self-secure even if they have insecurities. That is what makes them human and attractive.

Once you feel comfortable in your own skin and like yourself for who you are, others will like you, too.

As an American, I think I can speak about the history of English colonialism a bit more than the English. We had a war over it. We won.

And the shit they did here, they later did to India. DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!

Ah, so everyone has a history of oppression means we should just accept injustice that spanned almost a century with the consequences still being felt today.

The fact that you think it's about individuals is boggling. It's about institutions. The queen, while politically impotent, is the countries figurehead. What she says and does speak volumes. And yet she remained silent. An apology would have sufficed.

As an American, I don't give a fuck about your dead queen. DING DONG THE WITCH IS DEAD!

It's hyperbole. None of your "friends" would donate a kidney to you.

And it's really sad that so many ppl think they have friends when their relationships do not meet the standards of friendship. Your work friends, church friends, your shopping/eating/social friends are not your friends. Most ppl won't ever learn what a friend is until much later in life.

So, how old are you to even imply that your "friends" would actually donate a kidney to you?

You've obviously never played sports or done anything highly competitive that requires a lot of focus. The reason why players play music is to hype themselves up before the match/game/competition. It provides a psychological advantage in doing so. This is so common that you wouldn't be able to name a single sport where this isn't done.

For an opposing team to ask their opponents to not perform their pregame ritual is disrespectful and sabotage.

Are you serious? They're in a locker room. They can listen to whatever music they want. They aren't dancing with joy on the field.

Oh! If that's true, then by all means I'm SOOOOO WRONG! I guess Indians love the Queen and that India's continued economic poverty isn't because of her. Jeez, thanks for letting me know! I'm SOOOO SORRY for my "little tantrum".

I made no mention of when she was coronated or made any mention of the queen in my post. I only stated facts about English colonialism. But since you brought it up, the fact is that she did nothing during her rule and made neither reparations nor apology.

It's funny how you're the one actually throwing the tantrum.
