    Quite honestly I just stopped chasing, we chase after what we know

    When you stop chasing and just be, you start to recognize genuine healthy connections when they naturally come along. It's been a journey for me but honestly I still relapse here and there because it's something I'm barely grasping

    AOC is CIA

    I remember reading an incredible Twitter thread implementing AOC as a CIA operative. I was wondering if anyone had any sources on this because I would love to have something to back it up. The thread was about her time working in Africa and how it was with CIA funding and a CIA agent something like that.

    Yes, the technology has allowed us to form connections and learn so much but it has its pros and cons. That should seriously be considered because obviously these algorithms are created to just addict us

    Our Eagles are conditioned to be validated and caught up in consumerism much worse. Nowadays with social media I have to disagree that unraveling the ego is meaningless because quite honestly, if I'm being honest, it's the ego that gets in the way of all forms of organizing

    I do believe that in order to snap out of this you just need to kind of start getting yourself to work me. Personally. I use a Kobe mentality to the things I aspire to do. It's very hard

    But I do believe the ego unraveling is extremely essential to inner growth. How can you help anyone? How can you help the front line if you are not at peace with yourself? Think about it. This is one of the main issues we have in organizing spaces or just generally today throughout the world, we we all came from some form of generational trauma and that requires healing and that is done through unraveling

    I'm going to disagree with you as someone with ADHD who is in therapy and does not take meds

    I think it's a very dangerous thing for you to compare meds with therapy because quite honestly therapy takes years for mental unraveling for you to just come to the conclusion that maybe you need to start applying yourself a little better

    ADHD with mental health shortcomings can exacerbate the daily task into it a very arduous process.

    While I understand the point of what you are saying and yes it does require some application in order to get the ball rolling, it's more than just getting up off your ass. It's unraveling the ego , and why you are there in the first place

    I'm very extroverted and I used to drink excessively in party environments because I'm a social butterfly, and outgoing.

    When I quit drinking over a year ago, I thought it was gonna be hard to spread my extroverted wings to party environments etc. Was it an adjustment? Yes.

    But I'm glad I did that because I found that, yes I do love some fun night life and genuinely enjoy music and dancing. But also that these environments where others are drinking and expect you to drink (sometimes excessively) are not where you're going to find the best people at in general. You might get lucky sometimes but for the most part in my experience it's all apart of the party.

    Your best bet is to flex your extroverted muscle in other environments as well that might suit you for example if you love art, go to art events. If you love live music go to local music events or music festivals.

    I went back to school for music and it's been the greatest decision I ever made because it's brought me into a whole new world I was too afraid to attempt before.

    I had the same thing I had a hangover kit that I would follow to make the hangover less harsh it was right around the time I quit too

    I'm happy you had a safe environment around your family mine would prefer I "loosen" up by drinking, in fact quitting made me realize that there was a lot of toxic dynamics within my family that need to be addressed, I never realized drinking was a form of tolerating it. I'm naturally extroverted so I thought parties and dancing was gonna be different, it was an adjustment but I still like to be outgoing and boogie, I just had to do it without alcohol, I find good substitutions in weed or psychedelics though as my tool to unwind when I need it

    Thank you it's been a hard journey, I found that the 2 weeks to 2 month mark was the hardest that's when I can truly say I experienced physical withdrawals. I would get headaches when I saw alcohol or others drinking at parties I would get headaches.

    When I quit coke, I was told there would be physical withdrawals but I experienced more psychological ones than anything which is what scares me about alcohol. I felt this deep calling to return to it, I still the thought of the hangover really keeps me away at my age.

    I quit drinking been clean for a year and a half, I just turned 31, at this age the hangovers are just too overwhelming for me to tough them out anymore. And quite honestly after completely quitting and seeing the upside I highly recommend to all my fellow comrades here.

    Now I am no saint, I love weed and psychedelics but after extensive research I find those to be a lot more better for me recreationally and yes therapeutically. But to each their own.

    I wish I never drank honestly I threw away my 20s, wasted time, destroyed the only long term relationship I ever had, and it was a gateway to harder drugs like cocaine. Which was the first thing I quit after battling a crazy addiction to it. Scarface level shit.

    What truly terrifies me is now that I've quit my once close family members would rather feel something is wrong with me for not drinking and preferring psychedelics over alcohol. Even when they say out loud that they support me their actions say otherwise.

    If anyone is trying to quit drink my DMs are open to share my experience

    Depends on your mental health By best friends both dating each other, met through me one of them was socialist leaning and now they've just been completely brainwashed. They don't see past their double standards on US Imperialist and Colonial hegemony.

    Sometimes I don't have the spoons to argue with someone who's already convinced anything I say is false or another extreme.

    I've realized there's no changing their minds because they refuse to see anything I present. It's just a waste of time we're better of playing super smash and smoking and occasionally I'll bait him into Marxist analysis through means of not mentioning socialist keywords, it's fascinating and daunting at the same time

    Trouble losing weight

    Weigh currently around 250, 5'7 in height Lowest I ever got two years ago was 235 I keep yoyoing on weight my whole life I fall off the workout wagon and spiral I've been working out consistently for a month swimming, hiking or running and doing weights, I feel healthier I'm much more active, and feel less winded But I may have an undiagnosed eating disorder, i can stress eat on anxious levels, before I could drop weight easier but I'm worried my weight is catching up to me because it's not shedding like it used too. I'm very self conscious about my weight, and I want to be healthy in the event of anything in the future. My eating is starting to cost me and I'm starting to realize this is detrimental to my overall well-being. Any recommendations? I swim laps for at least 45min to hr Or run 3 miles Or hike 2-5 miles depending on time before sunset Edit: i also added burpees recently when I don't have time to do everything in the gym, because I do work and go to school as well. Plus I always do some weights at the gym with a warmup full body workout. My eating is destroying my progress. I also do not get good sleep, I'm trying to work on that.

    CA's largest cannabis farm is run by a former cop www.sfgate.com

    As someone from SoCal, and from as a PoC from a rough neighborhood affected by the war on drugs. I remember when legalization began, the law said they would have a place for for those affected by the war on drugs to get into the cannabis market. It has been the exact opposite it's still inaccessible! In order to get the license which is like a liquor license, you have to front over $10K then if you qualify for the waiver the state will reimburse you. No one from these hoods has $10K+ lying around yo do this. Hence why the cannabis market is so white and bourgeois. And then to read this, it just angers me.
