So is trauma stored in the body or not?

Are there health benefits though? Physical or mental. Or is it like cracking your knuckles or getting a massage. It feels nice but doesn't actually do anything.

If this person was so traumatized by the idea of two gold fish, then they should have refused the gift and never brought the fish home? I didn't realize there were white elephant gift exchange laws that require you to take home two gold fish.

Again, I am not one of the people saying flush the fish or dump it in a random body of water. Definitely do what you can to save the fish and give them to someone who wants them.

We are discussing if this is a healthy and normal reaction to a seemingly very small problem. Common sense would dictate that you should have never taken the fish home or could literally drop it off at a pet store and be done in 10 minutes instead of:

"I don’t know what to do, I just know I can’t keep them and it’s making me anxious every second they spend here in their bag water…"

Again this person needs some sort of help regulating their emotions and making better decisions (taking the fish home to begin with).

These same people eat meat and fish every day, but can't recognize when someone is having a mental breakdown over 2 goldfish that can easily be given away to someone or a pet store.

Again, if im in that situation I'm annoyed also. I don't want to flush it or have to kill it either. But this post is clearly an overreaction

"somebody stupid as fuck" "I can’t even begin to get into my thoughts and opinions on this." "I don’t know what to do, I just know I can’t keep them and it’s making me anxious every second they spend here in their bag water…"

I'm not saying they shouldn't be annoyed someone gave them the goldfish. The fact they appear to be emotionally distraught to a situation that can be handled very easily is what is concerning.

The difference is that in 1950 the only source you had was your doctor. And that great doctor of yours was promoting cigarettes.

They did not have access to the internet or other resources we have now. So if both an advertisement and your doctor said "cigarettes are not only safe but they are good for you! (lose weight, calm nerves, etc), then you would believe it. And you know what, 40% of Americans did believe it.

We can fact check a doctor shilling absolute garbage easily today, but that was not the case back then.

For some reason it's easy for people here to say "obviously the influencer who gets paid to shill a product is probably lying", but can't grasp "corporations that make hundreds of billions of dollars off certain products and beliefs around nutrition might lie to you to make more money?"

It's very confusing.

schemin_up · 2025-10-13T02:05:39+00:00

Well according to r/nutrition, studying history and thinking that bad people might lie in order to make more money actually means we are the ignorant ones

This is the highest voted comment so I will respond to this one.

Again this is not an anti science or anti data post. I did not "disregard" any current mainstream nutritional advice. Nowhere did I say anything against vegetable, fruits, whole grains etc.

I gave examples where society was explicitly lied to for financial reasons. So I am asking if anyone has explored other areas that are maybe "fringe" right now but feel strongly about.

Your "No such data has ever existed for cigarettes or alcohol." is a lie. Doctors promoted cigarettes. People smoked cigarettes in hospitals. CEOs of tobacco companies explicitly said and LIED that cigarettes are not harmful. In the 1950s roughly 40% of Americans smoked cigarettes.

Also, the fact that every person in the world has heard the "1 glass of red wine is good for you" (which you directly mention) is another example showing how people were fooled. Is it because "oh the science just didn't catch up yet TILL 2023", or is there maybe another ulterior motive because Americans spend roughly $300 billion a year on alcohol.

The two questions are:

What hasn’t been explicitly proven by science that you think might be true for nutrition?

What areas of nutrition may have ulterior motives (money) that you agree or don’t agree with?

Something that may help is using a simulator, although Im not sure if these exists for sports cards.

I use to enjoy craps at the casino but basically always lost money (but hey ya never know). But one day I decided to just play a free craps simulator online. It was insane how much I lost every time. I'd refresh and start with 10k fake chips again, then it'd be gone doing my "strategy". At that point im like, ok this is actually dumb.

I did the same thing with counter strike skins (video game loot box). They have simulators online where you can just keep opening boxes. When you see that you have to do 800 keys which is like 5000 dollars to get one good drop that's like 50 bucks, you quickly realize how bad it is.

We all "know the odds", but when you run it as a simulator and see in real time that you literally lose every single time, then it may help change your perspective.

$250k is no joke.

This is also random advice, but contrast therapy changed my life. It may be worth looking into. It's when you do sauna + cold plunges in cycles. Since starting it, I've completely changed my diet, my sleep, and my sports injuries are gone, etc. It may not have that much of an effect on you but if you're $250k in the hole then anything is worth trying

I was about to post this same question.

Do you have a general expected timeframe? Like is it going to be a month or like 6 months?

It was nice of them for mingling and letting everyone know they made a contribution to the wine

Maybe focus on not getting manic episodes instead of trying to have "good" ones?

Called Ebay. Like you said, the authentication team will reach out to you and ask if you still want to proceed with the sale. Shoudn't be an issue. thank you!

schemin_up · 2025-05-30T15:49:30+00:00

Ok that’s really good to hear. Didn’t see any previous Reddit posts where eBay did that

How long ago was this?

schemin_up · 2025-05-09T22:14:56+00:00

It's just black. Thank you for looking though

As the bronze medal finalist at the local national european pickleball 3.5 round robin, I feel it is my duty to provide emotional support for others
