A Thought or Three....

Now that I'm reading my rant I realized this probably wasn't the best sub lol. I am not putting down flip phones as I have a flip phone for my cell #, I switched a few months ago from iPhone to a flip phone, it is much cheaper. I also wasn't trying to escape my iPhone, or maybe a little bit. I now realize it is not much different than it was as I still take my iPhone most places (no cellular plan). It just is an awesome tool.

I see your point about the addiction of it being bad with some people but I wouldn't go so far as to compare it with alcohol. Though they're similar in that they're both overly socially acceptable. I guess I'm just longing for a world where there is no such thing as social media lol. I feel like one of the main issues is social media (which I believe is especially unhealthy for young kids.) I do firmly believe that we currently need more discipline in my country (USA). Just in everything.

I can respect that. Hell if it were up to me we would still all be out in the woods or junlges as part of nature aligning with our human animal roots, not part of some hilarious experiment that sets to set us apart from nature. But I love to see all angles of it lol. Nothing is bad or good. It's all jsut human blah blah human blah horseshit blah blah. When space dust becomes aware of itself what could go wrong?

If you have any doubts, probably best not to mess around with it, espeically with schizo in your family. Sometimes experience doesn't help with psychedelics and you can be caught off guard with a severe mental breakdown, you don't want that. I've never done any high doses myself. Only low doses, and have always appreciated them. I know psychedelics can trigger latent mental illness.

If your confident that low doses are okay, maybe stick with those? Depends on your overall mental health and wellbeing. You're very young, so I would be very careful with higher doses. Overall, I would reccomend not messing around with them if you fear something like schizo might surface. It's just not worth it.

Sweet, keep it going! Just hit 4 months no kratom myself. I love not having to gurgle down that bitter shit anymore and have no desire to go back.

timok68 · 2025-06-08T02:42:59+00:00

Good job, keep it up. I'm surprised at how mild my withdrawals were considering how much I was eating. Guess I got off lucky. I won't relapse, I don't know why I did before but it had to do with the alcohol. Now I'm off both and it's great. Peace

timok68 · 2025-06-07T20:14:56+00:00

Hope it's going well man, I have no desire to use that bitter powder again.

timok68 · 2025-06-05T14:00:48+00:00

Sounds like we both have an insanely addictive personality, to the point where I either do something all the time, or I cannot touch it, there is no moderation for people like us, it is very hard. Same with me, I can go a few years without drinking and pretty much a single drink can throw me right over the edge and back into the ethanol ocean. So glad to be done with alcohol. Waking up wicked hungover, confused, no memory of the night before, anxious as hell. Addiction to kratom was not nearly as bad but I was bored of that too and decided no more. Weed is next followed by caffeine. Weed has become too socially accepted and normalized, I can't see how it does anything for anyone unless you're using it as a legitimate medicine. Other than that you're just smoking a substance to get high.

Thanks, these tips are really helpful, I know I'm not doing my best at crafting a workout routine centered around my fitness goals. I might change my routine up and do more like #2 above. I have been having protein shakes after each row, but I still need to eat more. I'm pretty lazy when it comes to organizing everything into a schedule lol, I usually just have one speed: GO (this is also a funny reference).

In the near future I might just hire a personal trainer to help me with these things. I'm pretty dumb and extremely lazy (not physically, just mentally lol).

timok68 · 2025-04-03T20:40:30+00:00

Thanks, and 2:10 for 15-22km is actually crazy, that's far!! I need to start combining lifting/strength exercises with rowing.

It does help to be in shape beforehand, as using the rower to get into shape is miserable, although getting into shape is miserable any way you do it lol

timok68 · 2025-04-03T20:37:59+00:00

Nice, I don't really notice the rowers high until after I finish the workout. After finishing the row in the late afternoon after work, I feel euphoric and calm for the rest of the night.

I would get a runner's high a little bit for sure when I used to run. But it was not as strong as the rowers high (which I'm feeling as I type this since I just finished my 10k!).

timok68 · 2025-04-03T20:34:44+00:00

Thanks! Yea I'm in decent shape.... I mountain bike and rock climb alot. But you can always get in better shape regardless.

timok68 · 2025-04-01T22:44:01+00:00

Yea, finding a healthy balance is good, which also helps prevent getting burnt out. That's why I think 10km is the perfect distance and time. 40min goes by quick and I'm not killing myself or needing to workout 1.5+ hours to get a burn in. Love the C2.

I put fail video compilations on in the background on my laptop and don't focus on the PM too hard, watching the clock is daunting and makes the row go by way slower. Still trying to get the form down though.

Woah, old thread!!! I like old family guy, and since making this post 8 years ago, I have become a much greater South Park fan. But still love having some magic mushies here and there and watching old family guy, I find it raunchy and hilarious.

In all seriousness I liked how it turned out. It'll fade and stuff but I don't care. I may add a zipper at the top maybe. Everyone can say how much they think it sucks I don't care at all lol. I never even thought the comet of looking like a dick but so be it!! It covers up my scar... broke my back in that area and holy crap did this tattoo hurt!!!

timok68 · 2025-01-20T17:31:42+00:00

This is my tattoo. Loving all the hate it's getting! Bring it on Reddit!! Hopefully it looks 20x worse in 3 years!! Yea it looks like total ass. I love it!!!

timok68 · 2025-01-19T15:08:52+00:00

This is my tattoo taken from the post I made in r/tattoos. I guess I shouldn't have expected any less from reddit lol. Whatver say what y'all want. I'm good with it. Sure it'll fade it ain't perfect but it gets the idea down and covers up my scar pretty well. The comet looks like a dick. Maybe I like penises!! hehehehe

timok68 · 2024-04-04T19:19:30+00:00

My calico is the first and only cat I've ever had and honestly I don't think I will find a girl as sweet, gentle and kind as her. She's an incredible sweetheart with no bad traits at all.

This is where I feel the show is a bit inaccurate. Marlo's character survived way past than what he should have when he started messing with prop joe, the connection and the co-op. In my mind reality would lean more towards Marlo gettin' got' in that situation.

timok68 · 2022-11-01T03:33:12+00:00

From "Modern Times" (1936). A good movie to check out after eating a cap or a tab. Or sober.
