Ask yourself what it is about you that an employer would benefit from. I can't tell you what value you have to offer. Only you can figure that out. I can tell you from experience that most people that hire for entry level jobs don't give a shit about your schooling. Can you show up on time? Can you have a positive attitude? Can you admit when you make mistakes & can you learn from them? That's enough.

That's ok. Just start anywhere. You'll figure it out. Don't stall the clock. Print 100 resumes & give them all over town.

You can change your life by wanting it. The reason you don't change is you don't actually want it. I know it hurts to hear that but it's true. If you really wanted it you would find a way. Not by asking here but by asking your own self. What do I want to do with my life? I have 112hrs of awake time per week roughly. How do I want to spend those hours? If you want something that isn't doable right now you can then ask: What do I need to do in order to make that thing possible for me eventually? Let's say you want to run a marathon. You think it's inspiring & you want to do it but you are 30lbs over weight and it's literally impossible for you at the moment. You would then ask "What needs to happen for me to be able to run a marathon?" and you would arrive at something like: "I need to loose 30lbs". Okey then how do you do that? Maybe take a walk everyday for a month or 2 then start weight lifting, eating healthy, yadiyadiydada. Being gradual and stuff. That is a very obvious exemple, but it's like this for everything you could do in life. You could find fulfillment in anything really. If you had a mind that enjoys brushing your teeth everyday & you found pleasure in it, you would be fulfilled every time you brush your teeth. It doesn't need to be grandiose although it could be. Do you see where I am going with this? You pick something that would fulfill you & you do it. That's it. If you are unable, do something that'll inch you closer to it, if ever so slightly. There's already enormous fulfillment in that. How do you know what would fulfill you? Well you ask yourself again. You already have all the answers. The next step is right now if you decide to take it.

Wait what? You might as well be drinking paint thinner. Ever heard the saying: "The dose makes the poison."? It's sort of half true but look at alcohol through that lens. You literally cannot feel anything from alcohol at a dose that would be non-toxic(like the tiny amounts found in some fermented foods). As soon as you get an effect you are well past the "definitely toxic" threshold. That is not the case with mushrooms, cannabis, LSD, mescaline, & a slew of RC's. I am not saying there can't be negative physiological outcomes with those in some ways but you are comparing the physical effects of a raindrop on your head with a 10 pound dumbbell dropped from a skyscraper on your head.

Welcome to psychedelics!

Any diet can be cheap or expensive. Quality determines the price. Looking at both diets from a similar quality bench mark is beyond my pay grade.

I work with kids and get sick often. It's usually just slight symptoms & very rarely do I get fever or other serious symptoms but often it'll mess with my voice and I very much need it to do what I do. What I do to try and boost my immune system at the moment: -Try to get good sleep(I don't always). -Drink a lot of water(4-5L/day) -Exercise lightly. Stretching mostly. -Breath work. I do 10 deep but somewhat rapid, then hold in, then hold out. A few rounds of that. -Echinacea. It doesn't have a good scientific backing but my mom bought it for me so why not try it eh. -Ravintsara essential oil. It says it helps with colds on the bottle. Not sure how much it does but it smells so so good. -Turmeric + Pepper. I read a mod post about it not long ago can't remember who it is. I am much less sick right now than I was 3 months ago when I wasn't doing those protocoles but I still get the odd mucus & the voice extinction if I use it excessively when I am sick which I am right now. My voice is like a full 4th lower than it usually is. What are your folk remedies for cold?

Your view is probably not that uncommon cause a lot of people aren't happy. Happy people smile because they feel like it and for no other reason. It's very simple. Don't overcomplicate things. Sure some people will fake a smile to try and manipulate you but their vibe stinks a mile away. They're very easy to spot and avoid. That is technically true but it puts you in the wrong frame of mind. It depends on what emotion you associate with that statement. Be happy & radiate that happiness out with no expectation of it being reciprocal. That is the high level attitude. You are not trying to get happiness back in return when you smile out of genuine happiness because you already have it! Of course that implies you must know how to make yourself happy in the first place.

I do take a greens powder that has a variety of vitamines & minerals but no specific supplement. I'll read a bit about the zinc situation & wether that'd be a good move for me. That's a nice lead thanks! I eat every kind of rice depending on my mood. Brown, white, wild, black, etc. I didn't mention it but I eat seafoods as well. When I get extra cash I love me some lobster & shrimps. Are they rich in zinc by any chance? lol Even if they are it's more of a threat once in a while than something I get reliable nutrition from.

1- Music 2- My parents 3- Wildly available knowledge & tools(Includes Leo's work:D). 3- Being born Canadian 3- Being shorter than everyone(oddly enough) 3- Mushrooms 3- Coffee (Look closely I didn't cheat)

It is not just a sore throat. I use my voice a lot every day of my life & I never loose it or get sore throat unless I get a virus or something. I did manage to keep my voice & was able to work this week. I just had a very small & low range. I did buy a giant bag of lemons but at this point I don't know what is helping or not. I introduce way too many variables at once to be sure of what does what. In any case, thanks for your suggestions! That's a nice sentiment but it's undeniable that healthy lifestyle choices are buffering you from getting sick. I don't track my nutrients intake. Maybe I should. I do eat a pretty good diet. Lots of fruits, berries, veggies, beans, rice, eggs, occasional high quality meat. I never buy or eat "cheat" meals, processed foods & the likes. I got rid of those cravings many years ago. I generally have good sleep when I am not sick but what tends to happen is that I'll get sick & then my sleep goes to shit. I'll wake up every 3hrs or so because my nose is jammed & I am half suffocating. It's a viscous cycle. The sickness makes my sleep worse which diminishes my system's ability to fight it.

How much do you sit in a day? Does your work involve you sitting a lot? That could be something to look into. Much harder falling asleep standing up.

We'll chit chat the hell out of you. Hi!

THC oil (Just don't make it a habit) > Vaping (this one isn't health wise but ok alright whatever) >>>>>>>> Smoking (that is the retarded one)

Gosh darn it why is this the right answer to everything!? Dear stupid, endlessly nuanced & complex af world, I love you.

@Spiritual Warrior Every single example on that thread is trying to figure it out but we made it for a reason no? To understand the difference between wisdom and foolishness. I don't mean op any harm there's nothing wrong with foolishness. I do take part in it a lot.

Someone should probably link this thread on the foolishness exemples mega thread.

@Bazooka Jesus **m7b5 intensifies**

How do you have the luxury to choose? ahaha When I teach in the morning I gotta wake up. When I have a gig I have to stay up late. I feel like the world determines when I sleep more than I do! I don't feel more creative or better at night tho it's all the same to me as long as I had enough sleep. What's really hurting is flip flopping between day and night. I am already doing that to an extent but last summer I worked at a place where it was 7h-17h one week & 19h-05h the other week. That destroyed my mood & health more than anything else.

I used to have that as well until I reduced the amount of breakfast significantly. I have a few fruits for breakfast & a light lunch as well. I get most of the days calories from dinner after all my work is said and done.

Those are great numbers. I am attracted to probably less than 1% of women.

What are you talking about? Most sports won't give you brain damage unless you make a seriously wrong move that has nothing to do with the sport. Like yeah, you could fall on the ground while running & get brain damage but you won't if you just run like you are supposed to. Existing is fundamentally risky. You can't go about living your life trying to avoid all the risks. Unless you are looking at full contact sports like hockey, football or boxing, the benefits of most sports far outweigh the risks. I've been skiing for almost 20years and I have never gotten a commotion(I mean concussion, damn you french(I mean I love you)). It's possible yeah but like is it really a concern? I don't think so. Just be smart and don't go down double black diamonds on your first try.

Beautiful words thanks

What was the chimp episode? It's older than this and I can't remember.

I would cum in my sleep on day 3.
