I've started nootropic called mind lab pro a couple months back and have to say it really does help. I feel the difference although subtle it is there. I can focus better and retain information plus it generally makes watching or reading (I can read a lot more now without losing concentration) much easier for myself, I have clarity and and less stress I was debating going on ADD medication to help with mental faculties before studying but luckily I didn't and chose this instead. Study is more comprehensible as well, mind lab is a bit expensive though I suggest buying a bundle deal if you want to consider long term and even just trying it out might as well because it won't hurt to have more in supply

Same, every year I end up reading another load of theoretical claims for why this supplement might help. They all sound plausible, often have legitimate studies that support it. So I buy them, try them, and not much difference. Done it for 10 years at least.
The reviews are always from people saying they also tried x, y, and a before this and it worked, placebo working for one supplement and not another makes me think they might be honest in their claims. There’s not much to do in life but keep trying random crap so meh, can’t do anything else.

Do you have anxiety? I've heard of people having panic attacks and that ashwagandha makes their anxiety worse. Just thought I'd give you a heads up

Pumpkin seed oil, biotin, and b complex supplements mainly. Typically pumpkinseed and biotin once daily, and the b complex about 30 mins to an hour before working out. It does seem to help out on top of eating something carby.

I've taken many supplements but probably the only one I've noticed to have an immediate effect literally overnight would have to be melatonin. Especially with ZzzQuil. Or NyQuil, but preferably ZzzQuil. I think there was another one I would take at night with these to help me fall asleep quicker but I forgot the name. Probably a prescription med or two, actually.

different poster but this guy has several videos dealing with amish/mennonite peoples. at 27:20, they start talking about splitting opinions in regards to what extent internet and smartphones should be permitted. you will immediately notice that these people seem to have fully modern homes, too, which is far from the stereotype of these types of groups.

The Luddites were not so much ideologically opposed to technology in some reactionary sense. They saw that they would never hold the machines of the rising capitalists, so they smashed them in a desperate attempt to not starve, which is what happened during the early 19th century. They died, the victors wrote the history, and the imperial religion enshrined "progress".

The "ignorance is strength" belief is very modern, and only possible when there are vast institutions which can impose it and make society inescapable and alien. It was around the late 19th century that the vanguard of this reactionarism first popularized their ideas. The old reactionaries just wanted the monarchy back and hated everything that happened in the prior century for all the reasons that made sense. The new reactionaries, and eventually the fascists, embraced futurism and the transformation of humans through technology, to change them into something else. That was when there would be no going back, and "historical progress" was locked in this current Satanic path.

I watched most of his Amish series and really liked it. They seem like good people and live happier and more fulfilled than normalfaggots. I think for the most part they are just victims of slander by various groups. It also heavily depends on what family they belong to since theres one family that keeps it extremely oldschool when it comes to electricity etc.

It's not even stagnant, it's going backwards. People used to have real wood furniture that they built themselves. Quality handmade clothes. They ate their own beef and vegetables that werent genetically engineered for mass production, fresh milk. They exercised and had privacy and personal space. Modern society is more fucked than anyone can even comprehend.

who is to say if those very items are even relatively more expensive today compared to 1900, if you want to buy them?, its just when given the choice consumers wont pay extra for any of that

I hate when this happens!!!

I find this animated .gif file of what appears to be the face of some sort of simian to be very amusing.

Behold, for I am one of simple mind.

Here is a webbum of a cat getting from A to B, completely unsuspecting of the voyage he is about to undertake, and out of which he will never be the same, even if the surrounding reality appears not to have changed. An admonition to us all, too.

it's just bad. i whine about gradients in these dumb maps as well

relying on the vibrancy of a color to indicate a decrease, this is the sin that everyone breaks. you can convert it to greyscale and see there is barely any difference between 30c and 40c+ which is insane

>>304842
to me it looks like there's a pretty big difference

there isn't enough differentiation and there are a bunch of best practices that you shoudl adhere to when making this stuff

example: https://academy.datawrapper.de/article/140-what-to-consider-when-choosing-colors-for-data-visualization
see section 9 and below

in all likelihood, this is some javascript library some random coder created 10 years ago and a weather website is utilizing it. the color scale was chosen completely arbitrarily and not given much thought at all, and no one has thought to modify it

Thanks wiz. Glad to see I'm not alone in my thinking about this

Most religious people don't believe every religion other than theirs is 100% wrong anyway. It's a strawman.

most religious people dont live like their every action is under the Eye of a divine Punisher, and that the only point of this world is to be a test of who get into the more real eternal world of Heaven or Hell.

2023 Conservatives are 80s liberals and 2023 reactionaries are 1920s liberals and so on and so forth until you get to the beginning of written history, this is well known. Everyone's a liberal until the culture train skips their station and then they animorph into a conservative, like JK Rowling.
Whig history is real but its "future liberals" constantly winning century after century. In 2023 Fukuyama's stuff reads less like gloating it was and more like a sinking feeling and cry for help as they see the train barrel past the 10KYAE Pax Americana station. "Please end history".

Not to derail this thread, but its also worked in the other direction, Ronald Reagan politics are basically John Kasich who ended up speaking at the DNC in 2020, while Nationalism which was taboo in the 80s took the place of conservatism. Macron ran for President on the neoliberal privatization policies of Margaret Thatcher but globalism is treated as the new "left" compared to Lepen who wasn't even on the political map in the 1990s.

So its also yesterday's conservatives are today's globalists, compared to the new nationalists

i think all the way back in the middle ages, the vatican ruled god could save ETs, because philosophers were putting a rational limit on what god can do, and the Pope said no he can do anything

>>304691
I wonder whether or not such logic could be applicable to end the death penalty for murderers. Would murdering them suggest that people believe them to be incapable of salvation?

Worst thing modernism ever did was the hard ban on (real) human experimentation, hybrids, and genetic engineering based on ethical/moral/human rights grounds. As if we dont have legions of malnourished children mining coltan or manufacturing Nike kicks or deregulated organ trafficking rings.
Since all the true power players are actively conducting genetic engineering research behind closed doors, the only this ban leads to is genetic warfare and government-backed eugenics, with zero opportunity for civilian research to counterbalance it.

Well stop. Paying taxes is no longer justified. The money isn't benefiting the lives or security of you or your people.

>Now someone that you will never interact with in your life can influence your opinion of yourself. Complete fabrications sway people's emotions and behaviors. None of this shit matters. So wild.

I still see all this moaning about how young succubi are affected by "unrealistic body image issues" but nobody ever seems to bring up that males a just as plagued by this shit now. I saw someone pointing out in that streamer 'Dream's face reveal that he kept noticeably angling his head to show off his jaw line. Pretty hilarious. I don't remember even the biggest normie males being this obsessed with their looks when i was at school. The modern internet has turned an entire generation into neurotic messes.

Another proof that modernity is a burden, life must have been simpler and more pleasant when you could barely see your reflection in the lake you would wash yourself in. Every new thing just adds unecessarry complexity and problems.

>>304458
This, all I keep seeing is norwood reaper, small dick energy, jawline stuff and I've seen many zoomer guys bully each other for looks like gossipy succubi. This whole shallow snapchat tinder era is complete cancer and switched the male dynamic up completely. You can't watch anything without a guy getting bullied for his looks, you could literally just make a cooking video and people will end up messing with you because of your looks and it's also so many guys doing it too, it's completely gay.

It's also mainstream as well and men have to suck it up but somehow we all have to endure some lesbian cunts wrath because she's not a pretty succubus. These fucked up dykes even make ugly female characters in video games now just because they are butthurt while they are the same cunts that bully guys online for having perfectly normal penis sizes, their sexual experiences and looks etc.

All this superficial shallow bullshit pisses me off because these cunts present so many double standards when it comes to men. Men just have to swallow the blackpill and live with it but the mainstream tries to make us feel oh so sorry for succubi all the time and as soon as someone points out that a old succubus looks less appealing than a young one they make a whole global affair out of it.

Kill yourself zoomer.

The archetypal nerd erased from existence. It must be schizophrenic to be an outcast as a zoomer when even being a virgin is a label used by normalfags who need to be more unique.

People can see their reflection in water.

>>304486
Understand the difference between barely and none please. Looking at yourself in a lake is different from looking into a clear mirror, the lights and focus etc. It must have been quite different when these natural reflections were the only thing that would show what you look like.

DNA is scrambled each time iirc so most likely he wouldn't be a perfect copy of his unborn sibbling, at least not yet.
