Restructure the police/restructure policing, law enforcement accountability and community reinvestment are the first things that come to mind. Particularly if I were reaching out to swing voters, especially white ones,  I’d use the latter. 

The time for cutting my own hair will be after I have torn large patches of it out from the grief and stress this has wrought, at which point, fuck it, I might as well shave it all off.

I confess that the one about the moon made me feel left out of something, like when I was in grade school and some new fad would sweep through and it was practically over by the time I knew about it.

I live in a state with legal cannabis, and the general consensus is that CBD is far more effective as a whole plant extract with a small amount of THC in it. It does not have to be enough to actually feel the THC. And, while this is my experience with it for pain, I know multiple people with seizure disorders,…

I understand your opposition to the spiritual materialism that pervades the thinking and identities of so many in our culture. It is utterly gross and pernicious. That is the thing that should remain in the crosshairs, not who gets to call themselves what in a living tradition.

I think maybe there is more than one of those off shoots. With all due respect, the legitimacy of a religion or spiritual practice should be judged by the results that it gives to its followers and their surrounding communities, not whether it adheres to orthodoxy or tradition. I am not saying that makes a spiritual…

If names are any indication, Sat Hari Khalsa would be Sikh. However, I would not be surprised if she took the name because she felt inspired by Sikhism in some way but doesn’t particularly practice any one spirituality. It is possible she was raised Sikh, but not likely. 

The challenges that we are facing are ones that require applied ingenuity and resources. There is research, with some successes, on how to remove carbon from the atmosphere, on bio-remediation to clean up toxic sites, and so on. We are going to need people who are able to work on the problems we’ve created,…

No one knows the future, nor what is possible. That is why there is always hope, if not for one’s own being then for others. This is not to say that we should not face terrible things, but that our imagination and the ability to read a problem in a new way is as key to our adaptation and survival as gathering…

Our word for this kind of thing at the time was not “punk” but “poser”. It is still an accurate description of her as she all style and no substance.

Agreed, and let’s be clear here, it is not she who is blowing up the marriage that she is not a partner in it is Mr. Hole who has destroyed the intimacy of his marriage with his dishonesty. This is a long term lie and double life this guy has been leading with who knows who or what else. She deserves to know since she…

Like many of us right now he’s dealing with his shadow material. Although, this article is from last year:

It is, of course, possible that she’s hiding something(‘cause who isn’t?). However, it strikes me as just as likely that Angelina is a total control freak and a very protective mama bear type of nurturer(not unrelated things) who is trying to batten down the hatches for herself and her brood. Could always be a little…

Buddhism, like any religion, takes on a different flavor in each culture that it is practiced, so how it was practiced in Bali may have spoken to him. Also, Bowie nearly took vows to become a Buddhist monk before he was famous, so combining two of his interests makes a certain amount of emotional sense.

It is entirely likely that the chickens used in ritual were being eaten, just because an animal is sacrificed to a god doesn’t mean it won’t be eaten by a person. Some cultures have rules about that stuff, others don’t.

Glad to be of service, I hope you get some relief. A few last words of caution, don’t mix it with alcohol(and it’s effects can go for 5-7hrs along with inducing a long heavy night of sleep), and follow the dosage recs for your sex, men can take nearly twice as much as women. Feel free to ask me if you have any more…

I assume that you mean phenibut, it is not rx only, but I have only seen it for sale online. I buy mine in bulk form from a company called liftmode, I think they have it capped too. If you are in a major metropolitan area it is probably worth calling around various supplement places to see if they carry it. I hear it…

If you want a chemical break from your anxiety that is legal and safe if used properly, try phenibut. It takes a couple of hours to work, do not re-up your dose. Don’t use it more than 2x a week, tolerance and dependence builds fast.

For supposedly being a very smart man, these insults by Karl Rove are pretty toothless and nonsensical. I mean, I could call him a whining contemptuous waterlogged scrotum and that would make as much sense.

I am not a health care provider, that said, salt cravings can be both caused by other mineral deficiencies and under lying health problems. I use a trace mineral complex along with a salt that has not been treated so that it retains a broad mineral profile. I also add potassium because I apparently need extra when I…
