jimmy jazz said:And what isn't a breeding ground for neurotics? Honestly, who even isn't neurotic? Show me one single person out there who isn't neurotic—just socially and individually conditioned to be that way. It’s just human nature to cling to the good times and push down the painful, unresolved stuff when it happens.
Personally, I think Mary Jane is actually a solid option, no, seriously—experts are basically saying it should have been approved since it works as an effective painkiller (ever wanted to get high? 😁 ) and they’re even suggesting it for people dealing with MS. The argument is that we should just legalize it so we can actually regulate the potency. Right now, they say it's sitting at 20% but anyone who knows their stuff knows it should be closer to 3%.
If you ask me, I'd rather ban alcohol instead of cannabis (Mary Jane/weed 😁)
I know there’s a Cackalica out there—I actually watched the movie! (: I’m rolling my eyes here because I can't stand localized nicknames, or just general American translations when it comes to movies. Sure, maybe the local crowd wouldn't get the reference, but still... Johnny Dangerously (starring Michael Keaton, not sure if anyone else has seen it) wasn't translated as "Johnny Dangerous"... So just leave it alone (I don't mean you, I mean the translators)
Michael Sullivan3 said:It’s funny how the partisans are suddenly looking for a payday (it's not like the Germans didn't call them "bandits" for nothing). As if they haven't already lined their pockets enough over the last 50 years.
But seriously, what are we supposed to do about the criminals who were in the partisan ranks? If we round up a dozen of them and ship them off to The Hague, maybe they'll finally leave Ante Gotovina alone.
Man, those fascists did way more looting back in '45 than the partisans have done in the last fifty years...
The best move is probably just to send both Ante Gotovina and the fascists to The Hague; maybe then the Feds will finally leave us alone...
Apop said:The bottom line: You can't master Eastern techniques without actually putting in the work to master Eastern skills! And we aren't just talking about brewing some mediocre tea here—we’re talking about crafting something truly top-tier! 😂
There’s actually a pretty good reason why you’d want to call the East Coast home. 😉 Maybe you’re even a born Easterner at heart... 🤔
I don't know... I decided to get my flu shot this year because last year was absolutely brutal. I spent three days feeling miserable—nausea, vomiting, a fever, and I couldn't even sleep because the aches were so intense. That’s why I told myself, "Not this year, get the vaccine." Nah, right now there's just some minor bug going around that lasts a day or two, nothing major. I'm just waiting for the real flu season to kick in so we can see if the shot actually does anything.😁 😉
By the way, Lupocet used to be a total lifesaver for me whenever I had the flu.👍

Sure, we could just bundle them up and send them off right along with the rest of those fascists.
Alexander Parker69 said:Your constant stalling—turning empty self-promotion into some fake philosophy instead of actually standing for anything—is completely pointless. Honestly, I don't see why I should even bother listening to you.
Then just chill out, Alexander Parker69, you "enlightened" genius! Why are you even wasting your breath on us? You clearly only pay attention to whatever fits your "elevated" ego at any given moment anyway. Just like everyone else. 👋 👋
Herpes said:Some of them are pretty much identical while others are worlds apart, depending on what you're actually trying to achieve. Since there are so many options out there, narrowing things down might be a good call. For instance, I noticed some talk about prayer being at odds with meditation, or something along those lines?
Enchantress said:I've gone through everything. What's your take on how Western spiritual practices stack up against Eastern ones? 🙂
Well, some overlap quite a bit while others are worlds apart, really—it all depends on what you're actually trying to achieve. Since there are so many out there, it might be worth narrowing down the options. For instance, I noticed someone mentioned prayer being at odds with meditation, or something along those lines?
