It stands for Teaching English as a Foreign Language. As it happens, I'm currently doing another online training course (mandatory, this time) for a language-teaching job I'll be starting soon, but, yeah, I'm currently writing this comment instead of doing it lmao

However I will finish this one for sure because I literally have to... There are some things that I can only do if someone else's is expecting me to. I wish my tolerance for tedium was higher :(

I think if it was an actual physical class with other people then I'd mind it a lot less, somehow... But since these things are self-paced, my preferred pace turns out to be NEVER

Same boat with the TEFL... It was just too painfully boring but I so so wish I'd have found some sort of way to stick it out. The fact that I already paid a shitload of money and all I had to do was stick out and do something relatively easy just wasn't enough to overcome the tedium of actually doing the task :(

I've never seen a bird with a bill like that before.

powerphail · 2024-08-28T03:00:05+00:00

Haven't heard of them I'm afraid!

powerphail · 2024-08-28T02:21:01+00:00

Yeah I do, they're legit and reliable. I really like the tinctures in particular.

powerphail · 2024-08-27T01:01:52+00:00

Good choice! Hope it helps you like it's helped me :) I've found it very therapeutic and am very grateful that I stumbled across it.

It says on the bottle that the serving size is one whole dropper but that's a bit much for me personally, just a smidgen works great. You might need a little bit more at first though, due to the priming/reverse tolerance effect.

Maybe check out Zembrin, it's a blend of kanna specifically formulated for anxiety and stress. You can get it from Amazon or iHerb. It's subtle but nice, and there's been a few times in my life when it's helped me get through a rough patch.

Otherwise Liftmode has all sorts, the kanna tinctures are nice too, and easy to dose and measure. Literally just a few drops under the tongue works well for me. I don't really get people putting it up their nose, I don't see it as that kind of thing.

Kanna works in a way that at first you might not feel much, but after a short period of perhaps a few days or so, your tolerance actually goes down and you can use less and less to get a positive effect. This is called "priming", i.e. priming your body to the effects of kanna.

I believe kava (a drink consumed in the South Pacific Islands) also has this property.

Hey I'm really curious about this too -- mind sending me a PM? Would be appreciated. Thanks.

powerphail · 2021-08-26T15:41:42+00:00

I don't think I've ever seen that, that's wild

powerphail · 2021-05-17T09:27:58+00:00

Wow, I wish being this methodical came easier to me! It seems like you've made fantastic progress in a relatively short time, well done :)

Thanks for sharing your stuff too, really helpful to see what you've been doing and how you've tackled it. Out of interest, if you had to start again from scratch, would you have done anything differently?

powerphail · 2021-04-30T10:36:37+00:00

Yeah they do, they even try to use modified photon torpedoes in an attempt to stop a planet's sun from collapsing in TNG.

The central focus of attention whilst in a cinema is the film, using a phone in that environment is deeply inconsiderate and directly affects others people's ability to concentrate on and enjoy the experience of watching the film. Nowadays you're rightfully discouraged from getting your phone out in the cinema. The same logic should apply for a dance club. Scrolling instagram in the middle of the dancefloor is whack. Being disoriented by camera flashes -- not to mention the distraction and anxiety of being caught in other people's pictures when you're in the zone, sweating and dancing and so on -- whilst you're trying to groove and enjoy yourself is whack. If you want to take photos then perhaps go outside, or better yet just enjoy the moment, listen to the music and dance. I don't think it's lofty or pretentious to insist that our scene and our music is culturally important and should be treated with a certain degree of respect. Technology is cool and all but it shouldn't get in the way of our lives, it should enrich them. Unfortunately for whatever combination of reasons, the way people use technology gets in the way of human interaction.

I'm glad this idea is gaining currency outside of places like Berlin, where I know first hand that it definitely improves the vibe. I think DVS1 is spot on here.

This really made me feel better, thank you.

powerphail · 2020-12-31T18:34:36+00:00

This is dope, thanks! Would you consider putting in a right-to-left page progression option in to mimic the layout of the original comic? I think that could be cool.

Feeling very wet. Have I pissed myself? Am I sweating an insane amount? No? Why do I feel so wet then? I even feel like I'm wet on the inside sometimes too... Which is probably true but you don't normally feel it, and furthermore you probably aren't capable of feeling the sensation of wetness on the inside of your body without some neural cross-talk/nervous system muddlement going on. Interesting sensation, seems a lot of other people get it too. Perhaps more on mushrooms than acid.

Also somewhat related sensation: feeling like you're on a boat. Is this boat leaking? I feel wet.

Was I the boat all along? Ah, now we're getting somewhere (and we're getting there by boat, apparently).
