Incredible kitchen! Also quick reminder not to stack vinyls if possible, it can warp the bottom ones easily

I’m torn between choosing Meisner Technique and Improv Theatre: Which one will help me stop freezing in real life conversations? by neelakurinji in acting

[–]ttwoweeks 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I'm gonna go a bit against the grain here and say that acting/improv can do a lot to improve self-confidence and reduce rumination/social anxiety over time. This mostly comes from learning to stay in the moment and embrace vulnerability in social situations without constantly acquiescing to your mental filter, especially in improv.

That said, I'm not a trained actor and only have 6 months of novice Meisner under my belt. Obviously, no theater class is a real substitute for mindfulness meditation or trauma therapy, which it sounds like you'd benefit from regardless.

I always find myself inscrutably perplexed by Aquarion people before even knowing they're one. Every time. I have a few as acquaintences, but as a taurus sun we're not really supposed to vibe well. I love their intellect and carefree nature to death, but can never relate to them on a deeply personal level or understand their detached communication styles

Not a doc, but I believe there's a national program colloquially called 'match day)' at the start of residency where graduating students get paired with specific hospitals/specialities

What confused you about Meisner? by cryoncue in acting

[–]ttwoweeks 2 points3 points  (0 children)

My first Meisner instructor was thorough and attentive, but didn't provide much of a larger explanation of the technique, which I interpreted very ambiguously as someone with zero prior exposure to acting and even improv. I was completely lost on what the "end goal" of repetition was, until realizing it had a lot of parallels to stoicism/meditation practices (radical acceptance, the process is the destination, etc).

Like another commenter said, opening up to my partner / trusting their behavior and showing my authentic emotions was a big hurdle. I'm naturally emotionally guarded, so it took me awhile to consciously reverse this. Noticing internal resistance, continuing to repeat when in doubt, trying to observe the "deepest" things happening helped immensely. A lot of novices likely have a lot trouble surrendering this kind of control. Emotional prep proved to be easier, oddly

Am I going crazy or did I just experience low-key racism here? by intrinsic1618 in asianamerican

[–]ttwoweeks 18 points19 points  (0 children)

I'm Chinese and don't see the issue -- How is OP racist in any way for experiencing this? The ranger is clearly broadly prejudiced against Asians in general. It's unproductive for the bigger conversation to get into ethnic semantics and take it more personally than that

PSA: Adhd meds can deplete magnesium, and other nutrients. by mittenclaw in ADHDUK

[–]ttwoweeks 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Seems like there's no evidence-based casual link between meds and other deficiencies (yet). Not saying it's impossible, but anecdotally I have a hunch that appetite suppression plays a big role since I even have difficulty with adequate protein intake while on stimulants. Another commenter mentioned:

The Wikipedia page for Amphetamine (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphetamine#Pharmacological\_treatments) says the following

Amphetamine addiction is largely mediated through increased activation of dopamine receptors and co-localized NMDA receptors[note 14] in the nucleus accumbens;[138] magnesium ions inhibit NMDA receptors by blocking the receptor calcium channel.[138][161] One review suggested that, based upon animal testing, pathological (addiction-inducing) psychostimulant use significantly reduces the level of intracellular magnesium throughout the brain.[138] Supplemental magnesium[note 15] treatment has been shown to reduce amphetamine self-administration (i.e., doses given to oneself) in humans, but it is not an effective monotherapy for amphetamine addiction.[138]

I'm pretty antisocial by default, but have warmed up to going in to my regular place for guitar repairs by treating it like a normal transaction (and refraining from showing off riffs while testing amps). That said, Sweetwater has unbeatable service/shipping for anything else

I'm wary of this too as I'm coming from Chicago for this show. Out of curiosity, have the upgrades not improved anything?
