@Illusory Self yes just make a scratch on your bedsocket tally. no reason to get poetic.

the „natural“ censorship on languages or culture is far more present than the censorship on hate speech. https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Extinct_language

@BlueOak then would you say language is natural censorship? especially if a small ethnicity is not able to speak their language? express themselves? like for example dwarfs.

@BlueOak can you think in another language? how much would you estimate americans to think in a second language?

@PhilGR i don’t really understand if you want to change the situation in greece or in the netherlands.

yeah both examples, what countries are you speaking of? - i‘m really far from generalizing it, but women tend to be more generalists even if specialized, with some exceptions. men and women tend more to talk without being specialized nor having a general overview over a situation which would lead to the specific context of the discussion. this is not a new phenomenon but a social media phenomenon.

nothing just is, and still everything is in a way. most emotional conflicts are very personal, in that not just for you but especially also for people who are close to you and some of them are affected directly. i don’t think emotional maturity can be reached without supervision, if you are able to do that alone to an extend, you must have been teached proper contemplation techniques in advance. if you have issues and questions in you disturbing you, it might be also disturbing for someone who’s not able to discern your emotions from his/her own emotions because not being supervised enough about the handling of such. there is a constant problem in searching for supervision in sameness vs difference ofc, it’s the problem of not being able to change perspective. a lot of males are anxious about emotions because of emotional socialization, hiding emotions seems a better survival strategy, at times. pushing away, is a better survival strategy at times. that’s also why males seem to seek supervision mainly in close friends, often in other males and sometimes in their female partners, because of trust, sometimes of ego and not of competence decisions and even if the supervisor is a competence decision the outcome may still be ego decision. seeking help from a stanger/therapist seems counterintuitive, but is the approach with a higher success rate in finding explanations, solutions and working independently through emotional baggage. although competence is also not equally distributed in therapists and therefore you need to find someone who is a good supervisor for you. and then you might also be able to talk with your family and friends again.

@BlueOak yeah, ofc let’s start republishing hitlers MEIN KAMPF internationally, i‘m sure men and women would like that pretty equally. @Bobby_2021 can’t you update at least on your username?

pre-post-trans fallacy, if you don’t know what that is you can’t be aware or conscious of it.

do you generally include consciousness into intelligence or not? or with what do you start counting intelligence?

yeah def in this context and that logic, some logic flies and other logic doesn’t. generally speaking truth seems to make people more stupid than intelligent, who‘s interest is that?

@Leo Gura this is the biggest bullshit you ever told yourself. and it seems like you are finally outing yourself, as the suspected misogynist you probably are. this sentence you should value it as a male. if you can’t you probably are not a male. if you can appreciate that, your claim might be occasionally true. if you cannot, its false.

@Haribo you think so?

@actually looks like it. doesn’t say it on that page but if looking further into the brand you can find information about the rosavin:salidrosid 4:1 ratio - they seem to keep it in that standardized dose. its a bit sad that some brands don’t give information about the actual content of these two substances in their products. good luck with it! will probably not be the whole solution to your problems but might at least make it a bit easier and flatten the curve. you also might have to pause after using it for a while, because the body gets used to it and you would have to take more then to get to the same result. i always used it as long as i was feeling down and stopped shortly afterwards, sometimes just one day, and sometimes i took it preventive. they say it takes some time until you can feel an effect - i‘d say 6-12 hours but can be it takes some days for others until they can feel a mood change.

@actually then you can try standardized rhodiola rosea without problems. its the best plant based anti depressant i know of, you would find it in the adaptogenic neutropic section. you can‘t do much wrong with it, it might help you through the downs. it also can help against anxiety.

patriotism is purple

@actually if you are bipolar, yes it can worsen. i wouldn’t self experiment with drugs, your system is sensitive already - what you want then is a stable lifestyle, enough sleep during the high phases (if you can’t sleep anymore it‘s a sign you should go see a psychatrist for meds). i see that you don’t want medication, i don’t know another way. you can try self supplementing with standardized rhodiola during the low phases (stop taking it as soon as you feel better because it might trigger a high phase) might be l-theanin helps during the high phases but that’s a total guess and only a sytem support, so beware of selfdeceptions regarding selfmedication. i also don’t know how much you would need or if the l-theanin would even support a higher serotonin build up after blocking it for a while. if it’s getting worse i‘d see a psychatrist and bridge the phases with meds until stable. as nice the ups are as low are the downs, so the ups are more dangerous. (usually rhodiola is not recommended for bipolar, so only take it in the down phases and only if the l-theanin is stabilizing you during the high phases, so test on l-theanin first, you also need some kind of mood scale which you use daily to figure out where you are at, if you experiment on that, it’s blank hypothetical)

you think creativity and detachment are a productive combination?

@Vynce become a pornstar.

@actually it‘s perfectly fine, you can be happy that you still seem to be able to calibrate and probably make direction changes. not giving a shit about what anyone (male/female who cares about the gender) says but what you figure out on your own about yourself and others. just be aware that this has a slightly manic/depressant or at least bipolar or anticyclical feel to it a bit, and dissociation is the most dangerous selfdeception then, so stay careful. regarding your friends, you also need positive feedback for calibration, hope you also tell each other what you like about them, too.

this is creating discrimination, within trauma. the reaction you impute into the traumatized female body are part of your inner mechanism justifying fantasies of rape rather than the actual trauma of rape. what makes you different than a perpetrator? you ask that? not anything, nothink makes you not/different from a perpetrator. you just try to outsource the underlying problematic to the victim.

that’s not really true, the trick here is to create conscious processes with a mindful approach - even boring tasks can become fun if the process is adapted. the truth is if the process is very drudging even a result can be less pleasurable and feels just like a relief which can build up inner aversions. its probably a bit a question of what type a person is, process oriented vs goal oriented. its important to get into the task, which approach ever. maybe a combination is the best approach (with the wrong process your goal might not be achieved) its this path is the goal vs goal is the goal.

if more people would have gotten vaccinated earlier and we would have supported countries where new strains develop because of population density with enough vaccines (as much as possible) it would have been a game changer. and it maybe even has, some people hope for it starting to get an endemic, which means it developing into a less harmful strain while the old variation thinns out. for a lot of people it had a bridging effect and saved a lot of lifes. people sometimes think pharma is like taking a pill and everything is better, or they completely condemn it and don’t take it - if you make pharma responsible in both cases, what should anybody say? it’s a button pusher mentality we are confronted with, in ourselves the same as the world surrounding us, while the world stays highly complex and gets more complex every day.

@ElenaO hi sorry to write here again. i really want to help you both and i read again a bit. so the common selfhelp recommendations are: ruling out cow milk allergies and other allergies in the nutrition of the mother which are transported through the milk (you probably already tested on that) i‘d read about that more if i was you (what is supportive nutrition, like herbal teas etc) upright position of the child after food for extended period 30mins at least hasty drinking is not supportive so as less bottle feeding as possible (thats a tough one probably) and if bottle as less as possible air in the area of the bottlehead so the child does not swallow so much air on the philips website they have an article about baby reflux (i know but still) they recommended putting some rice cereal or milk thickener into the bottled milk and as its often happening in the night - it might help to get a special mattress for babies where the baby does not lie flat but more upright with support that‘s the basics i could find - i so hope you find a solution. there is also a book about reflux problems with babies.

you know this is selfdeception with huge confirmation bias. i got covid before the vaccination it was not life threatening but enough that i didn’t want to get it a second time. you also have to consider that you probably got the omicron strain which is much more infective but often less severe than the delta for example. when was your last vaccination - if longer than six month you would be already up for a booster, because the protection fades a bit. so be happy you didn’t get it full dose, it would probably be much harder on you.
