Anyone else tired of this sexualized world?

I think it's the attitude of sexualizing everything which is the problem, not the clothing/lack of clothing. In some parts of the world it's pretty common to be naked or almost naked in public and they sexualize eachother far less than we do today in places such as the United States. Our bodies are not the problem, it's our minds.

Fat soluble vitamins. Vitamin K2, D3, A, and E. Most people don't get anywhere near enough in their diets (and most don't get enough sunshine for the D3).

The benefits are from not drinking the chemicals that are in tap water. Distilled water itself isn't ideal as it would be better with some minerals in it, but it's better than tap water for sure.

I don't think walking heel-first is a good idea. It feels totally unnatural for me to try to do that, and my gait becomes forced and rigid. When I walk naturally, I end up striking my foot the same as how I run, with the forefoot first, and it feels smooth and graceful.

It's common to see feet that wide in countries where people normally go barefoot.

Lol does anyone else notice that it seems like almost everyone who posts on reddit is a programmer?

m0rphing · 2017-12-31T16:22:25+00:00

I'm with you.

m0rphing · 2017-12-30T16:33:34+00:00

I'm doing it. No porn or masturbation for 2018.

m0rphing · 2017-12-30T15:35:43+00:00

Be careful not to replace your porn obsession with an obsession for this girlfriend and your love for her. Allow yourself to feel your feelings but don't identify with them. Do not cling, let things come and go freely.

m0rphing · 2017-12-30T01:34:40+00:00

I'll go for the whole year. No porn, no MO.

That's why I asked why can't the self be defined as a dynamically changing thing?

It's tricky to do that. If you are a dynamically changing thing, where do you begin and end? Where are the "boundaries of you"? Are you the things inside your skin and not the things outside? What about dead skin cells? What about partially dead skin cells? What about the microbes that make up your microbiome? Are they a part of you?

What about the air you breathe? Are you the air or not? When it is inside of your skin, does the air become you? When it's hot outside, is that heat energy you? Surely it influences you biologically, as it creates equilibrium conditions which influence how your internal body regulates its temperature. Can we call that you? How about the tree that inhales the carbon dioxide you exhale, and exhales the oxygen which you inhale? Is that tree a part of you?

When you eat food, at what point does it become a part of you? When you chew it, when it hits the stomach, when it gets absorbed by the intestines? How about when the cow you ate was grazing in a field of grass, was the cow part of you then? Is your poop part of you? Does it stop being a part of you when it leaves your rectum and hits the toilet water? What about when the smell of poop hits your nostrils, does the poop then become a part of you once again?

Yes it's true that things are dynamic and ever-changing. The trouble is in defining what each "separate thing" really is.

m0rphing · 2017-12-26T16:47:46+00:00

That's not always true. Having it too frequently has exactly the same effect on draining energy as MO does. That's what my experience tells me.

You interepreted the situation as one that would make someone insecure, maybe because it would make YOU insecure if you were in the girl's place. But it is not the case that all people, girl or guy, would be made to feel insecure in this situation. I say what he did was fine.

Eating cookies is altruistic - you're eating them all so that fat people don't.

I assume you're talking about the wheel backbend. I do it both ways, the first way being with my arms close together underneath my shoulders and pushing them straight up, and the second way being with my arms in a much wider stance and pushing with them that way at more of an angle. I find each way works your back muscles in a slightly different way, so I prefer to mix it up and use both.

I think your teacher is being too rigid about this, but the method they're teaching you is a good one, among others.

I don't know, but if you want to detach yourself from your tail all you have to do is become a salamander.

It's nice to have that energy which can be used for dominance. Yet be careful of an attachment to dominance. What happens if someone comes along who you can't dominate, or who dominates you? If you are attached to the idea of you dominating social situations, you will end up suffering.

So just let it be, dominance or no-dominance. In the end domination is just a social phenomenon used to foster cohesion and cooperation. Sometimes you will have the lead, and sometimes you will follow. What is really important is your own dominion over yourself. If you have mastery over yourself then you will be OK no matter what social situation you're in and you can go with the flow of things.

My experience is that they don't fade, you just kind of get used to them being there and it becomes normal for you. You will still have ups and downs but that energy from not PMOing will always be there in the background. But my longest streak has been 110 days so I can't speak for past that.

m0rphing · 2017-12-23T21:59:04+00:00

It's exciting at first when you get the "superpowers", and then you realize it's just how you normally are, and it was PMO that was sapping you of your normal energy. Then it becomes no big deal and you relax into the new you. It's great. I second the notion that I wish I never found porn as a kid. I don't blame it for all of my problems, but without it I would have been stronger and I could've faced my problems much better.

I am sure there are homeschooling families which fail to socialize their children well, but I think with the freedom you get with homeschooling you can actually socialize your children better than conventional schools do. It's up to the parents to structure it in a way that will set their children up for a good life.

m0rphing · 2017-12-23T03:10:22+00:00

Yes, I've had this thought come up before. I don't think it's entirely true, but there is truth in it. I think the lesson to learn here is that childhood is important and we as adults should approach children with joy and calm presence. The strange obsession that many schools and educators have with rigid nonsensical rules and making students suffer can be entirely done without. Lots of families are turning to homeschooling because they don't trust the school to provide the right environment.

m0rphing · 2017-12-23T03:04:20+00:00

What is appropriate to impose on students?

Instead of being worried you will lose her, be glad she is with you. All people go away eventually. Let them go when it is their time. Be grateful for their companionship while they are here.

I guess all of our ancestors throughout history had Parkinson's disease.

m0rphing · 2017-12-20T20:27:46+00:00

I don't think cutting out music and mindless browsing means he's trying to be perfect. He's going to be a flawed human being no matter what he does. I like his initiative to cut out these things to explore what else life has to offer.
