So down with the pyschologists because they have studies showing they're just as effective as talking to a friend and yet they'll still charge you upwards of $60 an hour.
At least the psychics are cheaper and can be as effective, and at least here in mexico they'll usually provide you with a meal or two as well, it's like dinner and entertainment for less than $10.
Actually, studies pretty much show that talking to a therapist/psychologist/psychiatrist is as effective as talking to ANYBODY. Funny how they never tend to advertise those stories.
Then again, westerners (at least the North Americans i've been exposed to) seem to be a lot more comfortable paying a total stranger to listen to them talk then to have a true support system of friends and family who can listen to them.... well, except for the drunks, they seem to want to tell you all sorts of 'inappropriate' personal history.
If you travel to different places in the world you'll see that's exactly what happens Pure logic that the type of environment and it's extremes or lack thereof will have a direct influence on how a culture evolves, so the individual is affected by the both the accumulated culture as well as the individuals own experiences with their environment.
Well, let's see. If placebos are usually effective in 30% -50% of cases and big pharma in about 50%-70%. So usually about 20% difference in effectiveness for big pharma but how much more do they charge you? Just get somebody to fill up some capsules with sugar and get them to 'prescribe' them to you while they wear a labcoat and carry a maroon briefcase and you should be fine most of the time:)
Well, the theory may sound like bullshit to us educated types, but is it really?
They talk about vibration, and how much do we really know about the vibratory properties of the world around us, after all, our nervous systems are designed to remove all the vibration from the world and make it look static.
If i throw a rock into a pond, the rock passes through the surface of the water for a split second, yet the ripples of vibration spread out across the whole lake and then return. The vibratory effect of the rock can last for thousands of times longer than the interaction of the water and the rock, and this is just the grossly visible effects.
Now, i'm not claiming that it works, i personally don't BELIEVE in it (Belief is something you deem to be true with no actual proof), then again, i don't disbelieve it either as i've never actually seen any reputable non-confounded scientific studies to dispute what they claim.
I personally believe it's garbage, but my belief has nothing to do with reality.
It's a skill that every human is capable of. The only problem is as you state, most people are really ugly on the inside, and so you tend to stop looking. Also the more you try to hide what you perceive as your own ugliness the less you'll be able to see of others as well.
Of course, you need to learn how to close up as well and turn it off.
In the long run, nothing is useful if it's always ON or OFF.
I think this has more to do with the Cute Beauty continuum. Cute things are mainly undefined, the energy doesn't have set pathways and we *enjoy* watching the undefined entity struggle to find the way. If you want to make big money selling *cute* toys, just remember undefinied(usually circular) and very expressive (the more free energy, the more exagerated it can move). Beauty on the other hand is energy moving along the most energy efficient pathways, which will carve away all the baby fat, revealing the structure of your movements. Now, most humans can't move their own faces properly to make themselves beautiful, how are they supposed to do it for CG?
I'm pretty sure that's not the dog's understanding. The dogs understanding developed over thousands of years as it evolved from a wolf who put hard work into getting food into an animal that came to recognise the fact that humans are disgusting pigs who literally liter the floor with their some-what edible garbage.
Dogs understand if there's a human nearby there's a likely chance it'll drop something edible.
Well, obviously you can't. Don't try to speak for the rest of us.
Just the thought that how a person chooses to interact with the world around them says nothing about them is totally illogical.
What you are falling prey to is that we cannot see what we do not understand. A properly trained fighter knows that a specific change in body weight means something will come flying at his head, most people would be on the floor before their brain even processes the weight shift as significant.
of course, not all fighters are equal. it's a subtle distinction between how much weight shift i need to kick to the head or the body, both dependent on how much force is used in conjuction with the flexibility and movability of the leg in question.
Yeah, life and movies used to be really interesting when i couldn't assemble faces.
Then i learned how to get my awareness out of my mind and actually look at the world while widening my myopic viewpoint till i could see people as complete objects and not random assortments of tiny details which i had to somehow reconstruct into a face (which is quite difficult when you've never seen a face in entirety).
Cool thing about focusing on details is that you never watch the same movie twice because you never see the whole frame at once. Have to say movies are more boring and static now, especially since if you see the whole frame you tend to follow the camera focus (because you can see it!).
Are you an idiot sir? Or just astoundingly bad at time management?:)
You state you have no interest in web based geneology sites, your time is to precious to even give a fake email address or create on on your multi-domains. In fact, you state you have no interest whatsoever in geneology.
Why pray tell are you then not only reading comments about geneology and geneology software, web based or not, and actually commenting and complaining about how you don't want to waste your time?
Pardon me if you have no life or friends and so just comment on any slashdot story just so you can talk with your *friends*.
Some of us can just buy freshly fried potato chips in the plaza, right beside the movie store. Nothing beats freshly fried, but i guess not all of us live in mexico either, where people are still cheaper than machines.
Or i just make them at home, done in 5 minutes if you've got a deep fryer, and a steady chef hand and a good knife.
Oh please, whether the tuition money goes first to you or not doesn't matter because it ends up paying tuition, it is still part of your pay.
I wish i would have had my tuition paid! Rice, beans, and potatoes is what kept me alive through uni. If you know how to, you can eat good meals(i.e., nutritious) for a week for the same price most people pay for one lunch.
But it's really nothing compared to what goes on here in Mexico where a lot of food isn't necessarily cheaper, might even be more expensive because of all the exports to canada and the US, and a lot of people are making less in a month (6 days a week) than i used to make in one day in Canada. Yet they still have enough to get fat and waste a lot of food.
Want to really know how to survive on next to nothing, look at nepal. Here are people that will wake up, have tea and maybe roti, work from sun up to sundown and then eat one plate of DalBhat (very, very, very runny lentils, barely any at all, and lots of white rice).
One always has the option to bitch and complain, the other option is to do what has to be done and quit whinging about it. I believe us westerns look like a bunch of spoiled princesses to the rest of the world.
IMO astrology could use some science, or at least some basic common sense. after all, if you're claiming that constellations and planetary alignments have subtle influences on humans you should at least use up to date astronomical data and not from thousands of years ago, i.e., we now travel through 13 constellations and the cut-off dates are different.
Very easy to check what constellation you were really born under if you have Stellarium installed.
Agent P is just too awesome to have evolved from the general muck, so he must have been designed! Platypus' don't randomly evolved into super secret agents, you know.
A year in mexico and i can hardly understand my english! Sorry to sick to think right now...
btw, i was in drug research myself, though mainly cocaine and opium derivatives. The only thc related studies in our lab were just pure thc, this was back in the 90's.
But really, which do you think is more readily available to your average joe on the streets?
As for research, any of it involve neuroregeneration, specifically which cbd's would be more usefull for restoring function where there is already somewhat of a pathway.
I've used low thc indica variants on myself to restore function of the right side of my body, but would like something better than anecdotal evidence as i'm looking to help a dog with reduced mobility after a spinal injury.
Sure it is... it's just not everyday that they can change it into something ridiculously complicated and expensive with the potential to make billions of profit WHILE saving millions of lives.:)
Are you sure you were smoking 100% pot? If you're not a regular user and don't know your source, and don't know what natural pot smells like it's very easy for people to sell you low quality laced with things like RAID which will easily produce all the symptoms you listed.
Nearly the same isn't the same, so doesn't exist in nature.
However, if you've ever done the master cleanse with sugar cane juice, maple syrup, and honey, you can see that the body seems to react to honey similarly.
Satan of course just meaning opposed to god, so since the snake is opposing god, what's wrong with reading the snake as satan? Or are you talking about some guy in a red jumpsuit with horns and a pitchfork which is some weird think americans go for?

Get informed before you start to bash.
