@Archie ACC recommends to stay the fk away from NAC unless strictly needed. Careful with pulling random sources of information on chelation. If not done safely you can seriously screw yourself up

Gotta love kid's drawings

This feels like someone is personally making fun of my UTI

just stay openminded I guess, that should do

@Phil King one good way to get some quality answers in shadow work is by asking hypothetical questions, even if they're not factually true, and see what comes up. The question for yourself here would be "Why do I want to beat up my father"? And answer it as if it was true Anyways, family is the strongest gravity center for your old self. They always remind you of how you were before, therefore they reinforce it. It's not evil or on purpose, it's just most likely they've know you your entire life and In their eyes you're always the old kid. that's one perspective. Let me know if you resonate with that or feel free to add any additional relevant information , I'm sure we can provide plenty of insightful perspectives

third set every boys. I went on stage with absolutely 0 idea of what I'll be saying for the challenge. I'm glad it wasn't absolute garbage or I'd be banned from the only comedy scene around lol I thought I'd be giving my best shot at crowdwork but it took a little unexpected twist delivery extra rough and slippery as everything was unprepared and unrehearsed first time performing for 100 people as well edit: Holy carp almost 10 subs dreams do come true I hope not to be too late with the first dozen sub special special

Yup it's happening. Quick posting this to get the ball rolling. You could say I have my LP at arms lenght. So close yet so far YT coming soon? remember this phrase : absolutely irrational blind faith

This post makes it sound like you just offed someone

Electric water kettles made out of plastic. They are pretty common in EU , but y'all americans don't use kettles cause you have 110v electricity instead of 220v M i c r o p l a s t i x. Ignore the bpa free label, it still isn't safe

We need some studies on what happens when you overdose someone / something with microplastics, how / if they get stored ,etc Ideally we'd come up with some sort of microplastic eating microbiome for our guts. I've seen some insects that eat microplastics at some point Zeolite is said to detox microplastics but I have not found proof besides groundless claims. Some sort of detox protocol would be ideal. Activated charcoal with meals? It may backfire if overdone I guess, who knows if its even effective . Sadly plastic water bottles would be one of the top sources of microplastics, by accidental microtears, sun exposure during delivery etc. If I had to bet my life on a protocol I'd say 3 day water fasting with reverse osmosis water once per month is as effective as it can get right now for detoxing microplastics, to trigger autophagy and enhance natural detoxification pathways, together with avoiding known sources of microplastics. I'd be thrilled to do a 3 day water fast together with taking nano zeolite that doesnt contain nano silver ( not ACZ zeolite brand ) and test my urine for increased microplastix

First real Toastmasters speech, it's in Spanish so you may be extra confused about wtf did I do at the beginning lmao I expected it to be way worse. I was focusing on using my hands as I'm talking, that's why I have two hair bands in the palms of my hands, kinda cool litte trick. it gives me a reward ( playfully snapping the bands in my hands ) for keeping them there. I like to think of it like how female opera singers wear corsets for training the diafragm Also I tend to walk a lot side to side while I'm speaking, as you can see in the second stand-up video , which comes across as nervousness, but in this one the movement was way more adecuate Slurred on my words in two or more occasions, but the pacing was decent Eye contact with the crowd could be way better, I looked at the ground for 60% of the speech I was disqualified from the Spanish speech contest for my speech being 8 seconds too long lol that's what I get for making it up in a day and a half Anyways the topic was too complex to cram it into 7 minutes so next time go with something light, mostly go for stories Imo, I prefer writing about more serious stuff because you can optimize clarity, but I enjoy speaking over writing

The goal here is to manually evolve your brain at a physical level to more "human" and less CHIMP by strategically avoiding some things while actively pursuing others. You all have heard about Dopamine Detox challenges by now. The thing is that a lousy 1 month will not make that much permanent change in your brain. Your brain has to literally change at a physical level. I know Leo doesn't believe in abstaining from Cornography or even fappin' , but everyone is different genetically. If you're more like me, hear this out and have a look at the website below. I chronically struggle with ambition, motivation and focus. I've blamed it on genetics and heavy metal toxicity. But its obviously not the entire story. Given my life circumstances, I have spent decades bombarding my brain by hyperstimulating it with Videogames, fast paced videos, hyper-palatable food, cornography and social media. Even using a laptop or a smartphone are big dopamine providers, and so is searching the internet or using chatgpt. Infinite novelty at your fingertips . All of this this deeply rewires the brain and specificaly your neural pathways. Your dopamine pathways and your reward system literally rewire. You become desensitised to dopamine and need unnaturally large ammounts of it to feel its effects. You become unable to engage with tasks that you know are good for you but are not stimulating enough. One prime example of decreased dopamine sensitivity is Porn Induced Erectile Dysfunction ("PIED"). This website is a gold mine on practical neuroscience and surprisingly insightful. https://www.yourbrainonporn.com/miscellaneous-resources/start-here-evolution-has-not-prepared-your-brain-for-todays-porn/ The good news is that neuroplasticity is a thing. You can rewire your brain again and unhook it from dopamine hyperstimulation, but it takes time . We are talking anywhere from 2 to 24+ or more months for decent results. Only you can decide if this this change is something you need. This list may sound cliché but it is what it is . THE GOAL IS TO REWIRE YOUR NEURAL PATHWAYS OVER TIME, not to rob your life of joy. Once you have succeded, you will get joy from a new set of activities and behaviors. More natural and healthy activities. I find neuroscience super interesting. You can plow CHATGPT for hours about it . Eliminate or minimize : multitasking, videogames, gambling, fast paced videos , watching content, scrolling for deals, porn, softporn, fantasizing about sex, sugar and hyper-palatable food, checking social media ( yes this forum counts ). Smartphone use . Fapping and edging also bathes your brain in chemicals for hours. You decide how far to take this. If you struggle with low libido, lack of intimate relationships and so on, I suggest that you give it a try. An abstainance into binging cycle actually rewires your brain worse because the dopamine hits you harder. It is one of the main components of an addiction. Same with videogames, gambling or social media where the reward is random and not constant, or even worse, when the reward is skill depending but has an element of luck, and also provides social validation and a sense of pride. Things you can do : Take high quality Omega 3, Meditating for training focus, physical exercise, being in nature, socializing, hugging, having actual sex ( maybe hold off if you have PIED until your brain rewires), laughter with other people, taking cold showers, holding uncomfortable stretches and resisting discomfort, learning new languages and skills, pursuing self defined meaningful goals, cleaning your room, taking care of an animal or other people, getting inmersed in a single task at once. Cold approach and anything that builds your willpower is exactly what you want. In simple terms, you can think of it as building yourself focus and willpower muscles while you weaken and atrophy your impulsivity brain muscles. Again, sounds extremely cliché but I find it absolutely fundational. How do you do any of this work if you cant focus, dont have motivation nor energy?? Imo it's even more insidious than permanently living on junk food. Purposefully limiting or abstaining from something as awesome as hilarious meme compilations, super entretaining video games , mind blowing cornography, your smartphone or social media DELIBERATELY is a very noble decision in my opinion. It's a very personal choice in the end. No one is forcing you to anything.

These are so satisfying . Lets gather more 🥵

You are done when you can tolerate large dosages of ALA ( there is a formula ) without any side effect. Then you chelate for 6 months more and you're done . Unless you screw yourself up again.

Lets recompile all shady business in this one. How to spot it, what are the characteristics and tactics of con men and so on. Make sure to post clear evidence of the shady business and not just throw dirt at peoples name for the thrill. Some of these are so unbelievable it's beyond movie material

@Buck Edwards idk u tell us what's the lesson. But seems you're not ready to share it and would regret doing so

@Buck Edwards share the story so that people learn the lesson if you want. Just in the story say it was someone else. Because you're not that person anymore

This one is so surreal

Does his mentally sound familiar?

@Consept nope. He isn't an evil mastermind. He is absolutely bought into the miracle of his MLM and he will unconsciously turn a blind eye and rationalize and recontextualize any scammy aspects of it. Him and other people in his shoes. That being said it's possible for such people to involved in consciously scammy related activities as well.

i will not hijack this thread with any of his widely known shenanigans other than his exploitative afilliate referal link MLM which is relevant in this context. And yes of course he offers some value for certain people at a certain point in their lives, that's why he's even more dangerous than an absolute 100% scammer. He lures people in with real actual value Skip to Minute 5:00. But if you're bought into his stuff you probably wont register this

First of all, It is a legit business plan. It absolutely works for the people at the top. But note how closely MLM's are related to pyramid schemes, which are literally Illegal. Basically the difference is that a pyramid scheme doesn't even bother to have a real product or service and just relies on recruitment as the main income, and MLM's use the same structure but have a product / service and commissions from recruitment. A pyramid scheme is a lazy MLM. In some people's eyes MLMs are amazing. Because they are ignorant on how they are exploiting people. If they fully understand how bad is what they're doing, they wouldn't be doing it. But it's precisely people that lack those capacities of empathy that fall for such business plans. I fell for a door to door salesman MLM entrepreneurship cult in Barcelona in my early 20s. I don't want to toot my own horn but I have an above average bullshit detector, and I was absolutely mind-blowingly amazed at how congruent all of these people were acting, specially the people at the top. I literally was crying at the directors office trying to understand wtf is going on and they were bullshiting me till the very last moment with a straight face acting as I was the crazy one. I only was able to understand years later that the reason for their congruence was that THEY THEMSELVES were absolutely brainwashed and bought into the miracle of MLMs, and from their POV I was nuts for wanting to quit. Their frame is SO STRONG that you literally question your sanity. This phenomenon of being brainwashed with your own BS business is very common nowadays. If you call them scammers, these people will say you're attacking them and hating on them because in their eyes they are doing something legit and noble. This is the case for people like Andrew Tate , Tai Lopez or the recent Spanish copycat Llanos Fitness, and many more. Notice how congruent, assertive and convincing such people are. It's tough to detect the scam only by their persona unless you take a look at their actual money making mechanisms. Sometimes you can intuit it. They are scamming you, without them even understanding they are actually scamming you, because they absolutely believe in their own BS. Which is mixed with some valuable information creating this cognitive dissonance effect of scam and value. Which is only logical because to fish you can't use an empty hook. Gotta put a little bait on it. It won't work otherwise. This is not planned. It's the only way it can work.

Here's a little perspective on a possibile origin of you add

Everyone is different. It can have no effect , be very mild or even harmful for you. For me personally it gives me the mental clarity I aim for and the physical excess energy and raw motivation to actively do stuff that I want to do. But as I said, I build up tolerance pretty fast. I have yet to try armodafinil Thing is I travel In my camper van a lot and I can't just have two hundred prescription med pills on me without a prescription ofc so that sucks. I haven't tried racetams and I won't. Leo specifically says to stay away from them in his nootropics video.
