The community is the main selling point for me. Further left than reddit. Fewer bots and recycled bot posts. Generally less defensive and aggressive posters, though the US election has made things a bit more contentious, I’m sure it’s still better than reddit on this.
I use the Tibetan Book of the Dead as a guide. For faces at the slip gates (i.e. the dweller on the threshold), recognize that they’re nothing other than your own mind. Bless them with love and compassion, and then let them go to continue on your quest.
My VPN.
Then I everything else for free.
I don’t have any issues with the drugs themselves. That said, there’s serious consent issues around these medications, at least in the U.S.
Such as being overprescribed for conditions that they don’t treat well (CPTSD and PTSD for instance), having the positive effects overstated (they’re okay for mild to moderate depression, and not great for off label uses such as those just mentioned), and having the side effects downplayed (addictive is addictive, we don’t need new words like discontinuation syndrome, when withdrawal communicates clearly). SSRIs aren’t even the worst offenders on the market when it comes to this. SNRIs often have a very short half life, and a single missed dose can cause crippling withdrawal.
But how many of us have been prescribed these off label? With no indication of their addictive nature and potential withdrawal, not to mention sexual dysfunction? And for conditions that they don’t treat well to begin with? That’s not informed consent.
Gold? I don’t think any life uses it for sustenance outside of technological and sociological applications.
Probably not. A month isn’t long and that dose is low.
You may have slight withdrawals. Exercise, stretching, and anything people do for alcohol withdrawal can help.
Solidarity and community. Which is both getting help and offering it in return.
I attend mental health support groups and participate in online spaces dedicated to my hobby. It keeps me feeling useful as a disabled adult.

Noise in a RNG. Hungry, more likely to give into majority opinion so I can get back to brunch!
Buddhism helped me to understand my mental health better.
The cycling of the five hindrances accounts for both BPD (desire/anger/doubt) and BD (sloth and torpor/restlessness and worry).
Living at the edge of hypomania isn’t happiness or joy. It’s restlessness prior to delirium setting in.
Anyway, addressing my trauma and learning to accept myself has made the whole system workable and allowed me to find actual joy rather than losing myself in one exciting thing after another .
But I have to keep up my self care or the hindrances will take over in order to try to take care of the system in much less skillful ways. They mean well but lack wisdom.
I think whoever framed the presumption of innocence and proof beyond a reasonable doubt felt that way.
Jurors themselves are complicated. Some people are racist, some people are just hateful, some people respect authority so much that they’ll just believe whatever the district attorney says. All of these conditions can create a situation where the jury won’t reach consensus easily .
And pretty much everybody just wants to get back to brunch and taking care of their families.
I think what you are speaking to is values. What I’m talking about is emotions as they are felt in the moment and how those will affect a jury’s outcome.
Hence people are not computers.
No
People aren’t machines and don’t weigh data the way machines do.
It’s more like this https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prospect_theory
Than this.
Most of the liberals on here just want to be back at brunch. So those are the feelings you’re getting.
Personally, her hypocrisy over weed means little to me compared to the children she’s planning to help murder.
And, I’ll still vote for her because more children will die from climate change under Trump.
I’m voting against worsening climate change. Outside of that they’re both neo liberal shitheads.
I did a Behavior Activation Therapy course and we used a tool similar to what you posted in the OP.
Only we listed a few activities along with how difficult we thought it would be. Each morning we would reflect on the activities we got done and write down how difficult they actually ended up (sometimes more or less). And make a new list.
The process helped me to challenge a lot of thoughts and emotions around activities.
This is more like her insisting you not eat cashews, because she hates cashews.
Only in this case her hate is homophobic/transphobic. Women can wear boy stuff. And men can, in theory, wear ‘queer’ stuff. As long as it’s not her partner doing it.
How does it check for bias? Because pink news isn’t left on trans issues. Yet it ranks as left with high credibility.
I don’t support Harris, but I will vote for her because Trump winning will only make things worse. And accelerate the climate catastrophe, which will hurt everyone who lives here, animals and plants too.
As far as how I will get the US to stop funding Israel… I won’t. It’s a bigger problem then myself.
But, organizing outside of the election cycle is the way to do it. Protests, strikes, not paying our taxes. Those are the ways to change things.
A third party protest vote won’t change anything. It will just get your candidate and those who voted for them blamed for spoiling a two party election and putting Trump in office.
P.S. The framing of your question sucks btw. For reasons I pointed out above (I don’t support Harris, and I don’t propose that I can do anything personally to stop the genocide outside of organizing with others. And, if Trump is elected, the genocide will accelerate and likely spread to other middle eastern countries, and everyone will be suffering greatly by 2075 due to climate change).
