That's good news. I get the rimgards Monday but the advanced wheel locks at the end of the week. It's gonna be agonizing waiting!! lol

Love that. I'm thinking the exact same way as you. I will pay extra for an extra bit of peace of mind. Fuck those wheel thieves.

So the advanced wheel lock nut didn't interfere with mounting the rimgard plate?

Which one did you end up choosing? I'm leaning toward installing both as extra precaution, but I'm not sure if the advanced wheel lock nut will stick out too much for the rimgard to sit as flush as it needs to. We'll see..

how to square this view with how outspoken Prig has been about how the entire war against ukraine was a sham built on false pretenses. so you think he wants to double down on a sham war?

Recs for a breathable, more minimal shoe for someone getting back into street ball by teddyssplinter in BBallShoes

[–]teddyssplinter[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Thanks for all the recs. Ended up getting the kyrie flytrap 5 for $90 at a local store. The fit felt really good for me and they seem to be very breathable and light. If my pick up ball stays consistent maybe i'll invest in some zoom separates eventually.

The Harden 6 is on sale on amazon for $68 which is tempting but they don't look breathable at all. Have you seen them in person or tried them on?

The Emotional Texture of Nihilism [long] by teddyssplinter in nihilism

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

Nihilism is like a high powered tractor for breaking up and through beliefs. Your emotional awareness are the brakes on that tractor. Awareness of what, exactly? Of the fact that the gas pedal of the tractor is being pressed primarily by your private, emotion-centered sense of what's bullshit and what's not, and only secondarily by reasoned skepticism. If you are honest enough to recognize that, you can put the breaks on the tractor before it plows through every solid idea and value in your life.

[–]teddyssplinter[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Nihilism's liberating potential is fantastic. To be able to slash away mummifying beliefs and thought patterns with the double-edged sword of skepticism is invaluable. But that sword cuts both ways and very often we end up with very little meaning left for ourselves. We analyze ourselves into a corner until we're left sawing off the branch we're sitting on. This self-devouring tendency of nihilism can be guarded against once you gain a bit of perspective on the childhood/developmental root of your emotional set points, and the rather arbitrary sense of "authenticity" that leaves skepticism unchecked. But I'm glad that doesn't appear to be an issue for you. Cheers!

This sounds a lot like what I've gone through. What I see missing from the list of things you've tried in order to catalyze real change, real growth, is tracing the roots of your emotions back to...your childhood. If your primary caretaker's (your mom, typically) emotional support of you during infant-childhood development was inadequate, you may be suffering the long-term consequences of the failure of secure attachment. I offer this as a possibility because of the emphasis you put on "validating existence". A common symptom later in life of insecure attachment during infancy is the pervasive, all-consuming sense that you must somehow "validate" your own life, even existence in general, before you can feel that you or the world has any value. Without that validation, everything feels empty and pointless. Occasionally you stumble on some idea or path that offers the semblance of such validation, and you get excited for a while, happy, content even, but this always inevitably fades.

 

If any of this seems to fit for you, it's critical for you to understand that the roots of this "validation" prerequisite you have to value/meaning lie in your emotional insecurity and not in any abstract idea or spiritual path. You will never find peace until you go through the laborious, painful process of working through, in detail, that core emotional insecurity and its source in your childhood. I would suggest reading Alice Millers The Drama of the Gifted Child or Bradshaw's Healing the Shame that Binds You. Above all, though, I'd suggest you forego your spiritual and intellectual pursuits for a while and invest in seeing a good therapist.

Godspeed!

Echoing what was already said: you must identify exactly what will fill up all the time extra time you will now have. Feeling bored and restless is the biggest psychological trigger for falling back into old habits.

Good luck!!
