  1. Alcohol is trap. If you're young and have never experienced it, I understand wanting to try it. I definitely did some drinking when I was younger. But ultimately I found it much better to just give it up. If you're going out a lot to expensive nightclubs, the $$$ for drinks adds up quick. It's horrible for your health. And while it does loosen you up, it also makes you sloppy. What you want is looseness + clarity. Which you can only get without alcohol. You can build your state while you're out so much that you wouldn't even think of buying alcohol. You will feel way better without it. And you'll be having such a good time that other people won't even believe you if you tell them you're not drinking.
  2. Omg, my ex-girlfriend fell into all this filler / botox / plastic surgery bullshit. She would spend so much time scrolling Instagram, looking at other women and plotting out her next cosmetic move. The whole situation is just sad.
  3. You're already eating meat, so you're likely not at risk. This is for vegans. We're also not just talking about chicken vs lamb, we're talking 10-20% of your entire diet.
  4. Are there specific beliefs or teachings you found problematic? Or was it just the hierarchical structure itself that was the problem?
  5. I don't know about that. If it is as high as 20%, that's pretty significant. That's like one meal for most vegans. If you're a vegan, you should know about this. Vegan foods tend to be high in fiber and volume, which means you can easily under-eat. Plus, you probably want higher than 100g. 100g is pretty low for most people.
  6. Hard to say exactly. Most sources seem to suggest about 10-20%. https://www.sciencedirect.com/science/article/abs/pii/S0924224421006774?via%3Dihub https://www.mdpi.com/2072-6643/15/13/2870 https://www.fao.org/ag/humannutrition/35978-02317b979a686a57aa4593304ffc17f06.pdf
  7. If you're doing vegan, you want to account for lower protein bioavailability.
  8. Some of the first music I learned on guitar was from Ozzy:
  9. @Consilience You mentioned that leadership was unwilling to take feedback around the structure of MAPLE. Can you be more specific? What were your original critiques of the structure of MAPLE that you feel were not being heard by the leadership?
  10. I can't watch these Jubilee videos. It's just two hours of a pissing contest. Every time I try, I end up quitting after a few minutes.
  11. This whole thing may be way worse than I thought:
  12. Kundalini Yoga is basically full of fake spirituality:
  13. Keep in mind she's staff though. She's obligated to be nice to customers.
  14. @Jodistrict Your AI is feeding you nonsense. Even if you could do lotus safely, what's the point? It means nothing for consciousness. As best, lotus is a cool physical trick you can do with your body. Like being a contortionist.
