This. Cyclic sighing is where it’s at, can’t even begin to describe how helpful it’s been for me.

Oh shit same here, the winky face wasn’t meant to imply otherwise. Was more like “hey now, let’s be clear on what’s what”

I think the guy he killed

Allegedly 😉

Oh geez, no sorry, I’m not telling anyone to stop caring about anything, and def not something like climate change. I’m just some idiot on the internet lol, not anyone who should be telling others how to live their lives.

I was just trying to explain that therapy, again good therapy, can help people find peace, let go when they need to, or figure out how to carry the things they care about without being crushed by them.

Edit: typos and formatting

Totally get where you’re coming from. If you’re staring down the barrel of something massive like trauma, abuse, an entire system that’s completely fucked and seems way bigger than you and the others fighting it are or ever will be, it feels like no matter how much “self care” you do, the external crap stays the same, right?? It’s fucking maddening.

But idk, to me, therapy (actual, good therapy with a non-shitty therapist) isn’t about giving us power over the root cause, not always anyways because like you said, sometimes it’s impossible. Imo, a lot of times it’s about helping people stop handing more power to “it” (whatever it may be) than “it” already has. We don’t get to choose what happens to us sometimes, but we do get to choose how we respond to it, how we carry it, how we let it affect us, how we pass our pain onto others. It can be a super uncomfortable, yet extremely liberating, paradox. Like, okay, I might not be able to slay the dragon here (sorry, nerd here), but I can sure as hell stop feeding it in whatever way I was (constant unhealthy thought patterns, my own actions or the lack thereof, etc).

Therapy doesn’t fix the world for sure, but it can help us decide which parts of the suffering are necessary, or which parts we might be unconsciously choosing to carry longer than we need to. Idk, that’s where our power really is, imo.

Why not MACO? TACO and MACO. It rhymes and makes sense ya know (T for Trump, M for Musk)

Probably this?

Looks like it’s been legitimized previously https://lemmy.world/comment/15468351

Is that a meth pipe, or a lighter heating up a spoon? I think we need to track down the original artist here to confirm.

Edit: there’s quite an interesting debate in the comments about this already 😅

Were you hoping for “the one’s she’s dating”? 😂

In all seriousness OP, I’m very happy for you and glad things have turned out so well for you!

Christ what is this timeline

Potentially goth, as well.

Ha, reminded me of this old gem

OP delivers! 🙌

The more moss was a lie

Since others have shared a lot of recipes, I’m just popping in to say that drinking a lot of water and adding electrolytes is extremely important on this diet. For real, it’s not something you wanna FAFO about, because you’ll feel like absolute shit.

There are online calculators you can use to input your age, height, weight, etc, and determine how much water you need to drink. Just don’t forget the electrolytes!

If it helps, this is what I use (it’s a bit cheaper on Amazon but I really like the company so I order direct).

Also, if you want to track your calories/carb intake, I recommend an app called Cronometer (google play link here).

Best of luck! I’ve been on keto for years now (hopping off now and then around the holidays) and can’t recommend it enough.
