I left reddit a few months ago, and still check the site from time to time for things like movie site recommendations, music recs, etc. It still feels the same to me.

Definitely not as many rude people on here.

I’ve tried to use Gemini browsers, but they are too complicated for my human brain. I can’t remember which browser it was, but it was used mostly for Gemini space.

Aw, no! Phuks has fallen to hate speech? I’ll have to investigate this. I investigated, and didn’t find any hate speech. Just some dumb jokes. I’m talking they have posts with the N word right on the front page. So disgusting.

Raddle, Discuit, Flingup, etc

mbin and kbin are both top notch sites.

The long term is what I’m slightly concerned about.

Yes, that’s makes sense. When I get really happy or excited I’ll stim. When I drank the cordyceps tea, it was similar to being high, but my body and mind were calmer. Same effect with Tulsi tea. I know Tulsi tea has linalool in it. which is also in Marijuana. When I drink Tulsi or Cordyceps tea, it feels like my vision and brain are in a bubble, or I’m looking through a fishy eye lens if that makes sense. What I’m hoping, is that adaptogens just block certain receptors and aren’t really changing the brain at all.

Any lists?

Okay, so I did 3 rounds of the method. Then, I did buteyko breathing. I worked out, did my yoga and tai chi. I’m the calmest I’ve been in a long time. It could be from the tea mix I had, though. I haven’t had any paranoia at all. I drank a hibiscus tea mix, and hibiscus really helps with my paranoia/anxiety so that could be why I’m calm. I kinda want to try the method before bed, with buteyko afterwards, but it could be a gamble.

Apparently, Wim can influence his autonomic nervous system at will, or so he says. I think I know the real reason. Hear me out, when I do buteyko, it releases nitric oxide, which widens your blood vessels, and thickens the blood. Thicker blood means warmer body temperature. I could be way off, though.

I have tried meditating, and I meditate when I can. It hasn’t done a whole lot for my panic attacks. I think I have underlying trauma that has surfaced, which caused the panic attacks.

Yes and no. He’s had scientists do tests on him and it does activate different parts of your brain.

It’s a Lenovo 2 in 1, 256gb hard drive, windows 11. I’d be using for browsing, media. I’d be using my newer computer more but the old computer would be a backup. I’d mostly use it to try out Linux distro.

So far, my toolkit includes yoga, tai chi/Qigong, buteyko, hibiscus/chamomile tea, matcha tea, and ASMR. I’ve been working on a regimen or plan which incorporates all of them. I was using adaptogens, but that’s a diff story for another day.

I also started yoga and buteyko which also helped with my anxiety/panic attacks.

I used to have panic attacks a lot, but when I started the buteyko method, they have dropped/stopped dramatically. Now I can think more clearly, and I’m a lot calmer. If it’s a scam, it’s a damn good one, cause it helps my anxiety a lot.
