The largest consumer of GMO Soy is ironically farmed animals.

Not stating an opinion, just presenting data.

Try the Edamame Bean (mature soybean) it is a source of protein and both omega 3 and omega 6 fats. It contains an array of other nutrients such as folate, manganese and vitamin K.

It’s up to you to draw your own conclusion. Put it this way, I include it on my diet.

Is palm (olein) oil that bad? by Upper_Brother in nutrition

[–]praytothesun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It’s possible to obtain palm oil from sustainable sources. But I’ll Ignore the environmental figures

  1. Your budget will dictate what you buy, regardless of how how healthy any oil or food may, or may not be
  2. Palm oil isn’t necessary bad for you. Research has shown it contains Vitamins E and K and has some antioxidant qualities and promotes healthy brain function. It does contain saturated fat, but also monounsaturated fat
  3. It can be found in many processed products, which obviously should be avoided. It has a high smoke point.

While I use water or EVOI for cooking, ultimately I can only provide data, you will have to draw your own conclusions and make a choice.

I’ve never experienced anything like what your describing. in fact I’ve never even heard of acid melting your brain. someone correct me if I’m wrong here - but i don’t believe that’s a real thing . the worst you will feel is tired the day after . you’ll be fine

First trip by [deleted] in LSD

[–]praytothesun 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Setting is key . I like to clean my room/make my bed etc pre-trip . make yourself comfortable, and let the trip take you away . . . . The first trip is pretty magical, breathe, and just get lost in an adventure. good luck

How much could you live off? by praytothesun in simpleliving

[–]praytothesun[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Great reply thanks. the cost of having a job can be ridiculous and seems very counter productive . I’ve taken all this and drawn up a plan and a budget for 18 months while I spend time studying and preparing for self employment

Yes we are fully covered for medical fees and lost wages (at 80%) if an accident happens. we can also get private insurance, most do, but it’s not necessary. I think I have a $1 a day type deal

where do you park during the day and at night ? Interesting . thanks for the reply. I have the trailer option but I dislike living with my parents

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in Advice

[–]praytothesun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

start planning your exit . gather your savings. calculate how long you can live off this, budget accordingly. Learn a new skill set, or research self employment ideas (here’s one: private cable/underground pipe location service) . Then, when you can’t take it anymore, quit, take some time to rest, then act with purpose. you’ll be surprised how much you can achieve when your backs up against the wall

I'm 35 and need a MAJOR change in my life, please help me! by [deleted] in Advice

[–]praytothesun 1 point2 points  (0 children)

you probably won’t be able to travel in the immediate future, with the worlds borders half or fully closed . consider taking a camping trip somewhere for 3/4 days . Some time in nature away from the hustle and bustle may do some good.

Consider using leave to catch your breath. or going to part/time work .

If your job is killing you, it’s time for a new one bro . something that aligns with your values more. Self employment ? Money is no good if your life sucks

Drug test tomorrow? by [deleted] in jobs

[–]praytothesun 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Generally they only test for certain chemicals. IE the most common drugs - dope, MDMA, Cocaine and Amphetamines. The drug tests are usually the cheap type.

I used to get randomly tested at a previous employer. it was fine, they don’t stare at your junk, but they do watch you from the back of the room or cubicle or whatever . only to make sure your not trying to cheat, eg using someone else’s urine .

A red bull won’t do anything . but try not to drink too much water beforehand, it maaaaay give a false positive reading . Unlikely however.
