at any rate, you can still get the benefits of walking in natural terrain without damaging your feet; there are zero-drop shoes, very minimal shoes, and there's also those barefoot hiking shoes.
i dunno about the raw food and conpletely naked, but I did genuinely go barefoot for most of my childhood, I used to walk over holly leaves and sharp rocks.
but also, most literature I read about the biomechanics of the body speaks about movement in relation to other parts of the body. Walking incorrectly on your feet or ankles which effects your knee, which effects your spine, etc etc. Walking on varied terrain is a full body exercise.
I feel like the public understanding of "airborne" is limited... casual info about contagins say stuff like "oh yeah your droplets and feces can infect people, but its actually rare or whatever" but it feels like... airborne viruses are more contagious than what is commonly described. 😷
I would have been interested to hear more about how specifically the computer metaphor limits our understanding, and the benefits we can gain by using the alternative of experiences and changes
me too. I suppose we'll just have to do it ourselves.
One thing that I was thinking of was the belief that "trauma is stored in the hips." like... specifically just in the hips, and that exercises targetting the hips will help "release the trauma." That is not to say that physical exercises can't help you & that the body holds tension, but its more about the claim that trauma is physically and specifically in the hips, despite no evidence for this. Maybe this is related to the computer-mind metaphor.
lol watching the conversations happen because of the auto-translate feature has been neat. More frieren dicussion unlocked hahaha
basically some fascist guy said that frieren was a catholic story and the japanese fanbase picked that up and started discussing it.
japanese frieren demon discussion goes more or less the same as it does in english where people liken the demons to a dangerous "other" (such as bears, or people who dont understand emotions) that needs to be killed in the context of the story. The picking up of christian notes is interesting (while acknowledging it isnt a christian story at all,) but not as good as the analysis i've heard from filipino comrades where they say the demons fit in an orientalism metacontext.
even then just don't like... sling slurs as insults for other people?
I made this point a long time ago about a word that is currently on the slur filter but wasnt before, and it went very badly lol
I didnt know this but apparently ML spaces are well known for a culture where "word policing" is a concern. Its very interesting to me, because anarchist spaces tend to have more rules about words targetting marginalized demographics, although this may depend on the specific forum. This site is like a hybrid where we have basically made the case for "policing" some words, but I very much feel that the former sentiment remains amoung some amount of the population here.
Unfortunately there is something about the raccoon penis bone. I think it must carry some sort of cultural machismo, because as i've mentioned before-- I have had people approach me for it because they know I collect bones. And he was in particular a predatory person.
I dont think it's "bizarre" to collect bones from animals hit by cars, generally. For me, it comes from a place of seeing the death as tragic and unfortunate, and wanting to collect the bones because I think they're beautiful. I would like to think I put a lot more respect into the practice than a follower of nergal.
I think what trips me up more is the wording of it being a concern to them, in the context of it being a perscription in a medical practice, but not in a recreational or self medication sense. My experience is that doctors wag their finger at you for partaking in the devil's lettuce, so I guess I just find it hard to imagine a doc who would only perscribe their patient ouid.
Implications of all the available evidence
Cannabinoids are increasingly being authorised for the treatment of mental disorders and SUDs, yet our review shows little evidence of efficacy. There is a substantial gap between clinical use and available evidence. It is concerning that the use of these treatments could delay or replace the use of more effective therapies. There is a crucial need for improved study design that includes larger and more representative participant samples.
at any rate, you can still get the benefits of walking in natural terrain without damaging your feet; there are zero-drop shoes, very minimal shoes, and there's also those barefoot hiking shoes.
