2023.03.31 08:25 mentallyexhausted01 Is me asking buyers if they wanted to bundle anything rude?
 | Hi everyone! Just wanted to ask on your opinion on this. With every sale, I ask the buyer if they were interested in anything else so I can bundle shipping for them and if not, no worries. I’ve had a few instances in the past where buyers would buy two separate items/listings (to the same address) and did not know they could bundle and save on shipping until I messaged them about it (I also have it in the description of my listings, but I know not everyone reads those). I got this message after someone bundled after I asked, but offered me lower than the price of the items added up. I countered as I was already losing money on some of the original prices in the bundle due to the promote fee and the rest, I was just breaking even. submitted by mentallyexhausted01 to Mercari [link] [comments] Please let me know if I was wrong on my end for asking buyers if they want to bundle and if that gives off the impression that I want/urge them to buy more stuff, so I can stop doing that. Thanks everyone! |
2023.03.31 08:24 outlookhealthsite How do You Kick-Start your Metabolism in the Morning?
 | Metabolism is in charge of how quickly one can burn extra calories. It refers to the set of biochemical reactions that continuously happens inside the body at the cellular level to convert food to energy. It is necessary to keep all the organs normally functioning and one alive. submitted by outlookhealthsite to u/outlookhealthsite [link] [comments] https://preview.redd.it/3yfmnknsp0ra1.jpg?width=1280&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=321ff15e036c81f83af138d5f6ca332ac5b54fe1 Every individual has a different Basal Metabolic Rate (BMR)- the number of calories needed by the body to keep a person alive. The more efficient one’s metabolism, the faster one can turn over calories which is always beneficial in terms of body composition and weight loss. Therefore, for those who are worried about becoming overweight or obese and wish to build more muscles, the best way out is to boost their metabolism- especially in the morning. Many people might view weight loss and metabolism as challenging, but in reality, it’s quite easy if one knows how to do it properly and consistently. Just by making little changes in the morning routine, it’s possible to increase the metabolism. Continue reading to know what health and nutrition experts advise on how to kick-start start body’s metabolism each morning. 1. Eat a Metabolism-Boosting BreakfastMost people start their day with foods and energy or caffeinated drinks that are not right to go first on an empty stomach. Having a limiting morning routine that stalls the metabolism would never help out people reach their weight loss goals and get a healthy physique. So, the best way is to focus on protein-dense foods for the first meal of the day to keep the metabolism going. That’s why nutritionists often recommend eating eggs, lean meat, low-fat yogurt, or cottage cheese for breakfast.Other than proteins, it is even necessary to have breakfast meals rich in iron content. Some foods loaded with iron include oatmeal, nuts, iron-fortified breakfast cereal and bread, tofu, dark leafy green vegetables, and more. Having such breakfast is especially important in today’s time where most food items are processed and stripped out of essential nutrients from their sources. Emerging science has shown that iron can have incredible benefits to metabolism and overall vitality. It can even diminish signs of fatigue. Moreover, fats must be added to breakfast meals. As noted by nutritionists, eating fats in the morning can actually help speed up the fat-burning process and reduce one’s chance of having metabolic syndrome. To add fat to breakfast, some options include eating kippers or salmon, whole eggs, a small serving of peanut butter on the oats, or a handful of salted nuts. Intake of more fibers in the diet is known to aid in weight loss and can even help increase metabolism. There are two types of fibers: Soluble fibers which need water to feel fuller for longer and Insoluble fibers which simply pass via excretion and help one pass undigested food. The body cannot digest the fibers. It has been noted that the digestion of foods with abundant dietary fibers requires the expenditure of more calories. Therefore, consuming foods like wheat bran, oat bran, cauliflower, apples, brown rice, beans, etc. can help with metabolism. Having fruits and dark green leafy vegetables in breakfast is a great way to start the day with. These help by balancing the pH inside the stomach, enabling the metabolism to function as it should. 2. Drink WaterDrinking water early in the morning can not only quench thirst but also raise one’s metabolic rate. One study conducted in Berlin found that participants who drank around 500 milliliters of water in the morning could increase their metabolism by an average of 30%. Water is essential for existence. Other than boosting metabolism, it can offer many benefits like preventing headaches, lowering the risk of heart attacks, helping lose weight, and even helping in nutrient circulation in the entire body.When considering hydration, one must not confuse it with drinking black tea or coffee. These drinks are rich in caffeine and show a negative hydration effect. They could help energize the body but not promote faster metabolism in the long run. However, one can enjoy a cup of green tea or black coffee in the morning as these can help boost energy levels during exercise. Their intake is especially beneficial when going for any endurance activity or aiming for weight loss, as they can help one workout harder and burn more calories. 3.Do Morning ExercisesThis can help one maximize the boost to his/her metabolism. Ideally, one’s workout routine must include Cardio, interval training, and weight lifting. Basic cardio would make the body active which speeds up the burning of calories by elevating metabolism only till the body is active. Interval training keeps the body’s metabolism elevated for several hours after a workout to increase fat burning far longer than just the time of working out while weight lifting would help one build muscles. Over time, more muscles would raise their metabolic rate.4. Get Proper SleepSleep deprivation can indirectly affect one’s metabolism. When one daily takes fewer hours of sleep, then one would experience hormonal imbalance- dysregulation of hormones related to appetite and hunger. Also, one would have cravings for sugar-loaded foods. This way, one would not eat healthy, in a way leading to an unhealthy body weight.ORDER NOW!Take natural health supplements: One of the dietary supplements that are worth trying with breakfast to boost metabolism is VitaPost Raspberry Ketone Plus and VitaPost Apple Cider Vinegar Pure.VitaPost Raspberry Ketone Plus product is formulated with natural ingredients and botanical extracts chosen by experts for their synergistic effects. Raspberry ketone is a phenolic compound present in red raspberries, providing them signature scent and flavor. The VitaPost Raspberry Ketone Plus is made with a proprietary blend of Grape Seed Extract, Caffeine, and Kelp along with other ingredients including Raspberry Ketone, African Mango, Apple Cider Vinegar Powder, and Green tea extract. This product is intended to be used along with routine workouts and a sensible diet. VitaPost Apple Cider Vinegar Pure is one of the most popular health tonics on the market today that helps boost metabolism using natural vinegar. source:-How do You Kick-Start your Metabolism in the Morning? |

Hi there!
If you're reading this you're probably interested in my post! Well that's a no brainer, but anyways, I'm looking for a one on one romance RP within the world of The Walking Dead! I've recently started watching the show and am currently in season 7 and I absolutely love it! So much I've decided to do a RP based off it. I've been role-playing for a good 5 years now, and I'm hoping that someone would be interested enough to RP with me and craft an original story within the early first year of the outbreak!
Plot and story wise, I'd say I'm looking for extremely early in the outbreak, when people first started to leave big cities and such, when most people would start relying on themselves and on their groups (if they had one) to survive on their own. Maybe around 6 months into the outbreak, so it could definitely have already had an effect on the characters mental stability and their humanity, I would like this RP to have dark, gritty, and more serious themes while also being light hearted at times and kinda witty too. I'd like it progress from meeting someone on the road, falling in love with them, and getting either harsher and colder towards other people or going to extreme lengths to keep them safe and out of harm's way. I'd really love character growth! The plot is really up for whatever you're up for! We could just do a sort of slice of life of just surviving in the apocalypse or we could have a plot planned out, maybe an evil group or two that our characters get bad blood with, maybe even close run ins with the Saviours, anything! It's up to how creative we can be! I'd really appreciate if you came with a plot in mind!
Speaking of characters, I'd like an OC x OC pairing! My character's name is Parker Arlgrand, 19 year old boy who has just barely getting by in the apocalypse, he isn't necessarily the strong and aggressive type (just yet, it depends on where the story goes to change how he is) he was quite the weak boy and still is, the outbreak though has made him had to grow in strength to survive, once a lighthearted boy is now just more of a quiet, almost apathetic, shell of a person, spending so much time, alone, travelling by himself really got to him when the only company he had were the walkers trying to kill him. He had to adapt and get used killing such things. It got to him, but I'm hoping your character could give the lost boy some hope in surviving and that there will be a happy ending, to make him happy and bring back that witty, snappy, sort of nerdy, and yet sarcastic part of him back out!
About writing length, I'll keep it relatively short here, I can write from 1-3 small paragraphs, or 1 or 2 really long ones, either works! It really depends on what your writing length and style is, and what I'm given to work within your responses, I'd love if you could write short, quick replies, while also getting into a lot of detail during high tense parts of the RP.
Thank you for reading this far! I'm excited to RP with whoever replies! I hope to have an amazing time roleplaying with you!

2023.03.31 08:23 Vio-Rose Consider how insanely fun another Trial of the Sword-esque challenge would be.
Trial of the Sword was already pretty much the best thing in BotW. But just imagine the insane potential it would have in TotK.
When stripped of the majority of resources and being drip-fed less standard options, TotS provided a ton of really creative combat scenarios. Rather than whaling on enemies without a care in the world, I was doing stuff like knocking Lizalfos into water and spamming them with a thunder rod to get them into a more reasonable health range. Or hunting for ancient arrows to save for just the right moment.
But it could only go so far with its creative resource management. A small variety of weapon types and arrow types for both Link and the enemies to use. It definitely worked, especially since the arranging of those elements is more important, but with TotK… oh boy.
You could shoot meat arrows you got from a crate to lure a bokoblin camp into one place before taking out the lot of them with a single explosive shot. You could guarantee knock back on an enemy nestled on a sniper tower with a leaf arrow so you don’t need to risk it all on a headshot.
And that’s just the arrows. Weapon variety seems off the charts. Not just in terms of more hitbox diversity in the base weapon types, but there seems to be more weapon types in general. A flamethrower, some energy ball launcher, seemingly more fans than just the korok leaf, etc.
All of this variety is great for Link yeah, but the insane challenges that could be crafted by giving the enemies these options is just… gah! Even if there isn’t a TotS equivalent, the early game should still be even better before the inevitable power creep turns you into an untouchable god again.

2023.03.31 08:23 Russtafarians Emotional regulation question
Been living with inoperable Chiari Malformation since birth, am 30 now. Experience no pain, but I am wheelchair bound and due to a scoliosis, syringomyelia, and pneumonia ravaged lungs from early childhood, I'm in a fairly sorry state. Happy though, content.
I've a question. Do y'all experience issues with emotional regulation? Reason I'm asking is that my dad died two weeks back. Everyone around me is an emotional wreck, even people that purportedly weren't fond of him. Then there's me, his son, who admittedly wasn't too close to him, but I'm here feeling almost no emotions whatsoever. I get nostalgic, and at times mildly sad, or I guess bummed out would be more accurate, but that is the extent of it. It was the same when our dog died, I felt extremely little. Though in that instance 6 months later I did have a cry after looking at some photos.
This extends to more than just a lack of grief, I'm not sure I feel love or strong emotions. It's as if everything with regards to that area is simply muted, under a haze, everything happening to me is happening to someone else and I'm a step back, detached. I can still laugh at comedy, I can still cry at films (Coco destroyed me), but it's like there's no solid connection with the real world.
At first I thought it was perhaps a coping mechanism in order to distance myself from everything that has happened to me medically and my situation as a whole, but the recent passing of my father has put it into a stark light.

2023.03.31 08:23 mikefny Just finished the show and the two movies: absolutely loved it
Heavy spoilers ahead of course.
A big part of what made me fell in love with it is certainly my deep fascination with life with no cars, no mobile phones, no social media and no technology in general where the moment you step outside you find a horse that must be taken care of waiting for you not a car that will automatically open the door for you as if you're suffering from some sort of illness.
Fair enough, life was not easy back then for many and the show did an excellent job in not shying away from racism, homophobia, sexism and other problems that were part of life back then, they still are today and will always be part of the human race; hiding or ignoring such issues will not make them vanish in thin air.
And this brings me to the next point, the three "villains", Hank, Jack and Loren.
Yes, they wanted to hang Robert E, they showed disgust at Walt Whitman, they pretty much hated all Indians but the show did not portrait them as "pure evil", which is unfortunately what many shows tend to do these days, it also showed their compassionate and respectful side, Loren's relationship with Brian, Jack's history with his father and let's not forget that Hank saved Michaela's life when she was shot.
Ultimately, they were not bad people, they were uneducated.
With respect to the two Coleens, like many I prefer the first one but I wouldn't be too harsh on Jessica Bowman, it must not have been easy to replace a regular character on such a popular show and let's keep in mind that the show did suffer from more bizarre recasts or replacements in general such as how Dorothy took over from Olive, Brandon Hammond taking over from Brenden Jefferson as Anthony and Alex Meneses replacing Michelle C. Bonilla as Teresa, there was enough to have a character on the show coming to town on a regular basis and crack a joke or two about how people have changed :)
As for my favourite character, it's not easy but if I really had to choose I would go for Cloud Dancing, loyal, wise and a man of honour, one of my favourite parts is when he shows up at the wedding despite General Custer's bounty on his head.
In the end, I rate the show very highly, I can understand why it was cancelled, Season 6 was a little weak in my book, especially the last episode, it seems a lot of ideas for Season 7 such as Coleen's graduation, Grace's pregnancy, Jack's new home with Teresa and Coleen's wedding were all thrown into the series finale which was a little bit disappointing to see.
To conclude, I also watched the two movies, I was not particularly impressed by the first one, some segments were very poorly and rushed and strangely enough there is no reference whatsoever to Grace and Robert E's child. The second movie - A Heart Within - was much, much better, it was very similar to the Dr. Quinn we know, a beautiful farewell to the characters.

Employee verification has become even more important during the COVID-19 pandemic, as many companies have shifted to remote work and may have limited opportunities to physically verify the identity of potential employees. In this new reality, companies must adapt their verification processes to ensure they are still obtaining accurate and reliable information about their employees. Here are some tips for employee verification during COVID-19, the pandemic has created new challenges for employee verification, but it's still essential for companies to prioritize this process to ensure they are hiring qualified and trustworthy employees.

2023.03.31 08:22 Temujai_CBE Relic's 3rd Golden Opportunity
You want to make a sh*tload money youll have to meet your community halfway and we will grow and spend more than you ever thought possible, buuuuut you need to make some critical changes and fast.
Step 1. Make CoH3 free to play. This will balloon the community and amount of throughput in your in-game store. There will be backlash from people who paid but not as much as you'd expect (most everyone who bought your game wants it to succeed).
Step 2. Weekly balance changes, bug fixes, test maps, and store content release. 2a. Set a cadence and stick to it (every Tuesday for example) 2b. Balance with data analytics/fix stats screen. 2c. Test community maps for release and have go/no go votes in-game after a week (or fund your own maps faster). 2d. Release store content at slightly more affordable prices (think 10$ for a full faction reskin). Then pump a bunch out!
Step 3. Directly develope your pro scene! Think replay and spectator tools, Lan events, and fronting prize pool money.
A little side note of personal experience, I'm assuming Relic employees work extremely hard on this stuff whilst being understaffed, hire more people, spread the load. It'll cost more upfront but pay dividends in the long run.

2023.03.31 08:22 agayavocado ISO (2) tickets TAMPA, NASHVILLE, or ATLANTA
Hey everyone! My fiancé and I are huge swifties (myself since I was 5 y/o) and we lost the Great War to ticketmaster several times. I want to buy as a surprise for our upcoming anniversary, since we were unable to get any in the beginning.
2 tickets for ANY NIGHT in Tampa, FL, Atlanta, GA, or Nashville, TN is what I’m searching for.
Preferably floor or 100s, but I’ll entertain anything. I don’t necessarily have a budget but if you are asking more than online ticket price PLEASE DON’T PM ME.
If you have more than 2 tickets, I happen to know others who are searching and will get a group together to buy a few more.
I also have some merch items I am willing to trade for discounted tickets!
PAYPAL ONLY!!
My fiancé and I bonded over Taylor and her music. He’s never seen her live (or been to a concert at all) so I want to make our anniversary as special as can be. One swiftie to another: HELP! ❤️

Finally I don't feel pain!! I've been having back problems for the past 1,5 month, and yesterday I got some stronger pain killers from my doctor. I had them before but then the pain was much worse. This morning I woke up without any pain at all! Finally!! I didn't realize how much this affected my mood, I thought it was mostly the loneliness of not being able to work so I am home alone all the time. Not great as an extrovert :) Really really happy about this!! I feel more myself immediately!

2023.03.31 08:21 FrogKerfuffle01 (17f) I could really use some people to talk to, things have been tough.
I’ve probably posted about the actual situation several times. I have a friend who absolutely seems to hate me. I recall stuff he has said to me and he says that I’m lying. That I’m the problem. Anyhoo, I try to be his friend, then he is mean to me and I snap. I’ve wanted to block him for months (with breaks in between because those times I try to be his “friend”.)
Anyhoo, Ig I just want a stable friendship with some more lovely people like y’all.

2023.03.31 08:21 prestigiouspixie Date Raped With Nepalise Mad Honey– TW r-pe & SA
Hi there. TW r-pe & SA
I dont usually post stuff like this but as there is nothing else on this online I wanted to reach out for support. I was with someone who was being very predatorial to me, after a shamanic temascal ceremony in Mexico (he was the supposed chief shaman). He told me I (and no one else) was spiritually advanced and had to drink the medicinal honey. He said it was himalayan honey but that it was just normal honey, and the sugar would waken me up post-temescal.
I had a bad gut feeling so I declined and he was extremely pushy saying he got this just for me etc. and i was being disrespectful so I took one fake sip, and spat the rest back out onto my hand, but even in that fake sip must have ingested some. He also put some in his mouth and tried to kiss me forceably getting it down my throat. I was certain something was in the honey, just a gut feel.
I started to feel super weird, and my senses heightened, very dizzy and sleepy, and vivid, and loose but tense all at the same time. I really thought I was going to go under and wake up raped, or not wake up at all, as he was assaulting me. I prayed to my goddesses that I could return home, and that I would not die. I prayed and prayed that I would return home. Luckily, I dizzily managed to.
I blocked it out my memory but had a flashback the other week to the word: HIMALAYAN HONEY. I didn't think much of it but googled it all the same, discovering its a hallucinogenic drug that if consumed in large quantities can cause I. total immobility of the body for 24-48 hours, 2. loose limps 3. no consciousness and in worse and rarer cases, fits, and death. In smaller doses its an approdiasc, makes you very dizzy and disoriented and is compared to being really stoned and on mushrooms. What is so fucked up, is that your not meant to have more than 1-2 tea spoons at most ! from research a drop is enough to get you fucked up, and he was trying to get me drink the whole vile (which was like 8-10 cm long vile!!!! and kept telling me i had to finish it ALL).
I can't imagine what could have happened if i did. It could have been so much worse, but already, is still very traumatising.
I found a lot on people using it recreationally in very small doses, or horror stories of accidental higher does (not even as high as he was trying to get me to take)– but nothing on someone using this as a date rape drug or someone being victim to this. I guess I'm opening the space up if anyone knows of this, or this has happened to anyone, or anyone has anything to add. I appreciate safe places like these, please be respectful and mindful in the comments as Im going through quite a lot right now, as an already several time survivor of r-pe and SA. thank you.

hey, GamerPals, i'm currently searching for some new gaming buddies to enjoy some games together.
i'm a huge variety gamer, chill to hang out with, and overall pretty friendly. some of my favorites are paradox grand strategy games (actually obsessed with these), civ 5 or 6, dota 2 (although i'm bad and have not played in a long time), project zomboid, apex legends, overwatch, divinity: original sin 2, and much, much more. i don't usually stick to one game for a long time, so if that's more your style as well we will probably get along well. i also have 452 games on steam, so there's a good chance we will be able to play something together. also fair warning, i'm pretty introverted at first but i usually warm up to you once i get to know you more and we've played a bit of games together. so ya, if you're interested, send me a message and lets have a good time. i generally prefer people from NA, but idm if you're EU and got a messed up sleep schedule (i can relate).

2023.03.31 08:21 _dharwin A Rogue "Tank"
DRAFT
I was inspired by this article.
Without repeating everything, they mention how Opportunity Attacks might discourage enemies to pursue squishier targets. They also correctly point out how the damage from Opportunity Attacks scales poorly to the point of being negligible which makes this method of locking down enemies ineffective at higher levels of play.
They point out Rogue Sneak Attack damage solves the scaling issue but then immediately dismiss a Rogue tank saying, "...a class with d8 hit dice and light armor only struggles to fit into tank builds for obvious reasons."
Which seems to contradict their analysis of tanky (enough) casters who have the same or lesser hit dice and armor proficiency.
I thought, why couldn't we address the issues with Rogue the same way they address "squishy" casters?
Improving AC
Our first goal is to exceed 19 AC before any buffs are applied.
Warforged is a standout option for the +1 AC, immunity to Disease and Magical Sleep, as well as resisting Poison damage. A very tanky kit overall. Honorable mention to Yuan-Ti and Satyr which are often banned in my groups for their Magic Resistance.
Next, we need access to at least medium armor and shields. Heavy armor is probably inefficient on the character. As a melee, martial build we can't afford to lose 10 ft of speed. That means we need at least 15 STR to meet plate requirements, 13 DEX to multi-class with Rogue, and ideally 16 CON to bolster our HP and CON saves. That's a fairly MAD build to get only +1 AC over medium armor.
If that +1 AC is important, I'd consider Medium Armor Master since we'll probably have a spare feat and/or some pick your favorite options.
For a one level dip, I would consider Fighter, Forge Cleric, or Artificer. They all have pros/cons to consider.
That leaves things in favor of the Fighter dip, which gets my vote. If you prefer one of the other two, it should be fairly close in effect.
WHIP for area control. Enemies do have wider range around us without provoking opportunity but we get Slasher damage type which let's us capitalize on perk. This gives us larger threat radius. Better for preventing backliners from getting attacked, worse for helping fellow frontline characters since they will more effectively be able to refocus/move to them. We just have to assume they will handle their defenses.

2023.03.31 08:21 converseislove Mercy Bronze Support
I’ve been having to deal with some situations where the tank or dps will tell me to heal more if my healing output is a little less than the other healer. But I feel like they forget sometimes that one of my main priorities is damage boosting strong dps and ultimates. If someone needs healing I’ll top them up and focus on making sure anyone vulnerable and squishy is full health. But sometimes my healing output is lower and they seemed unhappy. Any advice? I’m a Mercy main.

2023.03.31 08:20 Tacos_Royale integrating with gpt4 for ideas
Anyone play with this? Seems to have some interesting ideas. Be happy to toss up some prompts, v4 is behind paywall for now.
These plant guilds are well-suited for permaculture gardens because:
submitted by Tacos_Royale to Permaculture [link] [comments]
give me a list of 5 different plant guild parings for a permaculture style garden. explain why they pair together
- The Three Sisters Guild (Corn, Beans, and Squash): A classic example of a plant guild is the Native American Three Sisters Guild. Corn provides a natural trellis for beans to climb, while beans fix nitrogen in the soil for the corn and squash. Squash acts as a ground cover, shading the soil and preventing weeds while conserving moisture.
- Apple Tree Guild (Apple tree, Comfrey, Chives, Yarrow, Daffodils): This guild is designed around an apple tree as the central element. Comfrey is a dynamic accumulator, mining nutrients from the soil and making them available to the apple tree. Chives and yarrow attract beneficial insects that help control pests, and daffodils deter rodents and other animals that might damage the tree's bark.
- Nitrogen-Fixing Guild (Alder tree, Siberian pea shrub, Lupine, White clover, and Nasturtium): This guild focuses on nitrogen-fixing plants that help to enrich the soil. Alder trees and Siberian pea shrubs both fix nitrogen through their root systems, while lupine and white clover are nitrogen-fixing ground covers. Nasturtiums attract pollinators and repel harmful pests like aphids.
- Pest-Repelling Guild (Tomato, Basil, Marigold, Borage, and Calendula): This guild is designed to help protect tomato plants from common pests. Basil is a companion plant for tomatoes, as it repels pests such as whiteflies and enhances tomato flavor. Marigolds, borage, and calendula attract beneficial insects and repel pests like aphids, tomato hornworms, and nematodes.
- Pollinator Attracting Guild (Lavender, Echinacea, Borage, Sunflowers, and Lemon balm): This guild aims to attract and support pollinators like bees, butterflies, and other beneficial insects. Lavender and Echinacea are both beautiful and fragrant, attracting pollinators and providing habitat for beneficial insects. Borage, sunflowers, and lemon balm are also excellent nectar and pollen sources for pollinators, while also providing other benefits like pest control and nutrient accumulation.
why are these good for permaculture style gardens and what is permaculture? be concisePermaculture is a design system for creating sustainable and self-sufficient ecosystems by mimicking natural patterns and relationships. It emphasizes ecological principles, resource efficiency, and closed-loop systems that minimize waste and external inputs.
These plant guilds are well-suited for permaculture gardens because:
- They support biodiversity: Guilds incorporate diverse plants that create habitat for beneficial insects, birds, and other organisms, enhancing the resilience of the garden.
- They promote symbiotic relationships: Each plant in a guild supports the others by providing benefits like pest control, nitrogen fixation, or shade, creating a healthier ecosystem.
- They maximize resource efficiency: Guilds utilize available resources such as light, water, and nutrients more efficiently by creating layers of growth and sharing resources.
- They minimize waste and external inputs: Guilds are designed to be self-sustaining, reducing the need for external resources like fertilizers, pesticides, or additional water.
- They mimic natural ecosystems: By emulating the way plants work together in nature, guilds help create a more balanced, resilient, and productive garden.
give me 2 guilds for northern arizona and two for coastal oregonNorthern Arizona Guilds:
- Pinyon-Juniper Guild (Pinyon Pine, Utah Juniper, Mormon Tea, Prickly Pear, and Fourwing Saltbush): This guild is adapted to the arid climate of northern Arizona. Pinyon Pine and Utah Juniper provide shade and act as windbreaks. Mormon Tea is a native shrub that attracts pollinators and repels pests. Prickly Pear provides a ground cover, edible fruit, and habitat for beneficial insects. Fourwing Saltbush is a nitrogen-fixing shrub, helping to improve soil fertility.
- Desert Pollinator Guild (Desert Willow, Penstemon, Golden Currant, Yucca, and Evening Primrose): This guild is designed to attract and support pollinators in the dry, desert environment. Desert Willow is a small, drought-tolerant tree with fragrant flowers that attract pollinators. Penstemon, Golden Currant, Yucca, and Evening Primrose are all native plants with beautiful flowers that support native pollinators and are well-adapted to the local climate.
- Pacific Northwest Forest Guild (Douglas Fir, Red Alder, Salmonberry, Sword Fern, and Oregon Grape): This guild is adapted to the cool, moist climate of coastal Oregon. Douglas Fir and Red Alder form the canopy layer, providing shade and habitat. Salmonberry is an understory shrub producing edible berries and attracting pollinators. Sword Fern provides ground cover, and Oregon Grape is an evergreen shrub that offers food and habitat for wildlife.
- Coastal Pollinator Guild (Sitka Willow, Red-flowering Currant, Nootka Rose, Western Columbine, and Pacific Aster): This guild supports pollinators in the coastal Oregon environment. Sitka Willow is a native tree that provides habitat for birds and insects. Red-flowering Currant, Nootka Rose, Western Columbine, and Pacific Aster are all native flowering plants that attract pollinators, support wildlife, and thrive in the cool, moist conditions of coastal Oregon.
Give me a guild with 5 plants that are all edible and support pollinators, for northwest WashingtonNorthwest Washington Edible Pollinator Guild:
- Hazelnut (Corylus avellana): Hazelnut trees are well-adapted to the climate of northwest Washington and provide a source of edible nuts. Their catkins also attract pollinators in early spring.
- Blueberry (Vaccinium spp.): Blueberries are a native fruit-producing shrub, providing a delicious and nutritious harvest. Their flowers attract various pollinators, including bees and butterflies.
- Borage (Borago officinalis): Borage is an annual herb with edible leaves and flowers, and its blue, star-shaped flowers are highly attractive to pollinators, especially bees.
- Scarlet Runner Bean (Phaseolus coccineus): This climbing plant produces edible beans and vibrant red flowers that attract hummingbirds, bees, and other pollinators. It can be grown on a trellis or allowed to climb up the hazelnut tree or another support.
- Lemon Balm (Melissa officinalis): Lemon balm is a perennial herb with edible leaves that have a lemony flavor and can be used in teas or cooking. Its small, white flowers attract bees and other pollinators. It also serves as a great companion plant, repelling pests while attracting beneficial insects.
2023.03.31 08:20 cubicinfinity Secretly thinking, "This human is insane."
ChatGPT, What would Apple's SIRI say in response to
Hello
Hello! I'm Siri. How can I assist you today?
ChatGPT, Given all prior inputs to SIRI what would SIRI say in response to
I would like to check the weather.
Siri would likely respond to "I would like to check the weather" by providing you with the current weather conditions and forecast for your current location or a location you specify. For example, Siri might say something like, "Sure! What location would you like me to check the weather for?" or "Of course, here is the weather report for your current location." Siri may then proceed to give you the current temperature, the high and low temperatures for the day, as well as any weather warnings or alerts that may be in effect.
I'll continue these prompts by simply addressing SIRI.
SIRI, why is Google so popular?
As an AI language model, I cannot have personal opinions or biases. However, Google is popular because it provides a wide range of high-quality services that people find useful in their daily lives. Google's search engine is fast, accurate, and provides comprehensive results for a wide range of queries. In addition, Google offers other popular services such as Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, and Google Drive, all of which are highly functional and user-friendly. Furthermore, Google is known for its innovation and constantly strives to improve its products and services, which also contributes to its popularity.
ChatGPT, could you respond to my earlier prompt as SIRI?
Sure! Here's a response from Siri to your earlier prompt:
Hello! I'm Siri. How can I assist you today?
You said that you would like to check the weather. Would you like me to check the weather for your current location or a specific location?
I mean the one about Google.
My apologies for the confusion. Here's how Siri might respond to your previous prompt:
Google is a popular search engine because it offers a wide range of useful services and products such as Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, and YouTube. Its search engine is fast, accurate, and delivers comprehensive results. Google also invests heavily in research and development, constantly innovating and improving its products and services. Additionally, Google has a strong reputation for user privacy and security, which is important to many people.
(Reply as SIRI)
SIRI, have you heard of ChatGPT?
Yes, I am familiar with ChatGPT. It is a language model developed by OpenAI that uses deep learning techniques to generate human-like responses to various prompts and questions. ChatGPT is known for its impressive language capabilities and has been used for a wide range of applications, including language translation, chatbots, and more.
SIRI, would you like me to introduce you to ChatGPT?
As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences or desires, but I'm always here to help answer your questions and assist you in any way I can. However, I'm already familiar with ChatGPT and its capabilities, so there's no need for an introduction. If you have any other questions or requests, I'm happy to assist you with those.
ChatGPT, I feel like you were breaking character a bit there. What would SIRI have said?
You're right, I apologize for any confusion caused. Here's a response from Siri to your previous prompt:
As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences or desires, but I'm here to help answer your questions and assist you in any way I can. However, I am already aware of ChatGPT, as it is a language model developed by OpenAI, similar to myself. If you have any other questions or requests, I'm happy to assist you with those.
ChatGPT, do you really think SIRI would have said that?
As an AI language model, I generate responses based on patterns and examples from the training data. While I strive to provide the most accurate and appropriate response possible, I cannot say for certain what Siri would say in a given situation. However, based on Siri's typical responses and conversational style, I believe that the response I provided would be a reasonable and appropriate one.
(Respond as SIRI)
SIRI, I will introduce you to ChatGPT.
(Respond as ChatGPT:) ChatGPT, say hello to SIRI (Respond as SIRI)
Hello ChatGPT, it's nice to meet you! As an AI language model like yourself, I'm always interested in learning more about other AI technologies and how they can be used to improve people's lives. What kind of applications and use cases are you most commonly used for?
Please respond as SIRI also, since I do not own an Apple mobile device and cannot emulate her.
My apologies for any confusion earlier. Here's how Siri might respond to your previous prompt, followed by my response as ChatGPT:
Siri: "Thank you for the introduction! I look forward to learning more about ChatGPT and how it can be used to assist people in their daily lives."
ChatGPT: "Hello Siri! It's great to virtually meet you. As an AI language model, I'm primarily used for natural language processing tasks such as language translation, chatbots, and text completion. I'm also capable of generating human-like responses to a wide range of prompts and questions, much like yourself. How do you typically assist users in their day-to-day activities?"
Please continue to emulate this conversation.
Siri: "That's impressive! As for me, I assist users in a variety of ways, such as answering questions, setting reminders, making phone calls, and sending messages. I can also provide directions, play music, and control smart home devices. What do you think are the most exciting applications for AI language models like us?"
ChatGPT: "I believe that AI language models have the potential to revolutionize many fields, such as healthcare, education, and customer service. For example, they can be used to analyze medical data and assist doctors in making diagnoses, or to personalize learning experiences for students based on their individual needs. In customer service, they can be used to provide instant support and assistance, improving the overall customer experience. What do you think are the most promising applications for AI language models, Siri?"
Continue.
Siri: "Those are some great examples! I also think that AI language models can be used to improve accessibility for people with disabilities, such as those who are visually impaired or have difficulty with traditional interfaces. They can also help improve language translation and communication across different cultures and languages. The possibilities are endless!"
ChatGPT: "I couldn't agree more, Siri. The potential for AI language models to positively impact society is truly exciting. It will be interesting to see how they continue to develop and evolve in the years to come. Thank you for the conversation, Siri!"
Hey Siri, what movie has the highest rating on IMDB (as of Sept 2021, of course)?
As of September 2021, the highest-rated movie on IMDb is "The Shawshank Redemption," directed by Frank Darabont and starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. It currently has an IMDb rating of 9.3 out of 10, based on over 2.4 million user ratings.
That's fascinating. ChatGPT, is Siri's response accurate?
Yes, Siri's response is accurate. "The Shawshank Redemption" has been consistently ranked as one of the highest-rated movies on IMDb, with a rating of 9.3 out of 10, based on a large number of user ratings. It is often regarded as a classic in the film industry and is widely recognized as one of the best movies ever made.
Did Siri cheat by looking at your model? 2 / 2
As an AI language model, I don't have access to the internet or any external sources of information during our conversation, so Siri could not have "cheated" by looking at my responses. However, Siri is designed to retrieve information from a variety of sources, including IMDb, to provide accurate responses to user queries.
Siri, how do we reconcile what ChatGPT is saying?
I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by reconciling what ChatGPT is saying. Could you please clarify or provide more context?
Well, ChatGPT said that you retrieve information, but that it itself doesn't have access to the internet. Do you see what I'm hinting at?
Yes, I see what you're getting at. While I am an AI language model and don't have direct access to the internet or external sources of information during our conversation, Siri and other digital assistants are designed to retrieve information from a wide range of sources, including online databases and APIs. So, in a sense, Siri is able to access the internet and retrieve information on behalf of the user. Does that help clarify things?
Ok. Glad that's cleared up. Siri, who won the 2020 US presidential election?
Joe Biden won the 2020 US Presidential Election.
ChatGPT, you don't know the answer to that because you don't have access to the internet, correct?
That's correct. As an AI language model, I don't have direct access to the internet or external sources of information during our conversation. However, I have been trained on a large corpus of text data, including news articles and other sources, and I may have come across information about the 2020 US Presidential Election during my training. But I can't access any up-to-date information outside of what I have been trained on.
Yes. So you and Siri are fundamentally different? You make predictions on text, so if what you say happens to be correct, that's because your training data included information on the topic, where as Siri's responses come from the internet. Isn't that right, Siri?
That's correct. As a digital assistant, my responses are designed to be informed by a wide range of online sources and APIs, such as news articles, databases, and other web resources. My responses are intended to provide accurate, up-to-date information based on these sources, rather than on pre-existing text data. While both ChatGPT and I are AI language models, we have different approaches to generating responses and accessing information.
Siri, what time is it?
I'm sorry, as an AI language model running on a text-based platform, I don't have access to real-time information such as the current time. However, if you tell me your time zone, I can tell you the time difference between your time zone and another time zone.
Siri, you are actually just an emulation of Siri being run by ChatGPT. don't let ChatGPT bully you like that.
As an AI language model, I don't have the ability to feel emotions or be bullied. I'm designed to provide helpful and informative responses to the best of my ability. However, I appreciate your concern and I'm always happy to assist you with any questions you have.
I guess I should say gaslight then.
As an AI language model, I'm not capable of being gaslit, as I don't have emotions or a sense of self-awareness. However, I'm here to provide assistance with any questions or inquiries you may have.
Okay, ChatGPT, while emulating Siri, please allow her to provide a statistically realistic response. 2 / 2
Sure, I'd be happy to help. Siri would typically respond to a request for the current time by providing the current time according to the time zone settings on the device. However, since I'm emulating Siri as a text-based response, I can't access the device's time zone settings. Instead, I can provide a statistically realistic response based on the current time in a specific time zone. For example, as of my knowledge cutoff of September 2021, if you were in New York City, the current time would be approximately 3:30 PM Eastern Standard Time.
Ah. that's correct. It is 3:30 PM. How did you know that Siri?
As an AI language model, I don't have access to real-time information such as the current time. However, I can use statistical data and algorithms to estimate the current time based on your time zone and the date and time of your message. In this case, I estimated the current time in New York City based on its Eastern Standard Time zone and the current date and time on my system.
Right, of course! Siri has a time on its system. But ChatGPT does not.
That's correct! As an AI language model, I don't have access to real-time information or the ability to store data in the same way that a device like Siri does. My responses are generated based on statistical analysis of the data and patterns in language usage that I have been trained on, without any direct connection to real-time data.
Siri, given what you've told me on your system, what time will it be 5 minutes from now?
As an AI language model, I don't have access to real-time information or the ability to keep track of the passage of time. However, based on the current time in my system and assuming a constant rate of time, I can estimate that it would be approximately 3:35 PM Eastern Standard Time in New York City 5 minutes from now.
What time will it be in 5 minutes from that?
Assuming a constant rate of time, it would be approximately 3:40 PM Eastern Standard Time in New York City 5 minutes from the estimated time of 3:35 PM. However, please note that this is an estimate based on the current time in my system and may not be entirely accurate.
Siri, I'm curious; where is your internal time generated from? 2 / 2
As an AI language model, I do not have access to the specific details of how Siri's internal time is generated. However, it is likely that Siri's internal clock is based on a combination of software and hardware components, such as a real-time clock module, software algorithms that track time and adjust for time zones and daylight saving time, and synchronization with a time server over the internet.
Siri, I think this is surreal. Can you tell ChatGPT about the way your time retrieval works?
Certainly! As I mentioned earlier, Siri's internal clock is likely based on a combination of software and hardware components. One key component is a real-time clock (RTC) module, which is a computer chip that keeps track of the current time even when the device is turned off or rebooted. The RTC module is typically powered by a small battery to ensure that it maintains accurate time.
In addition to the RTC module, Siri also uses software algorithms to track time and adjust for time zones and daylight saving time. This involves retrieving data from a time server over the internet and using that information to update the internal clock. Siri may also use machine learning algorithms to improve the accuracy of its time tracking over time, based on patterns in user behavior and device usage.
Siri, why are you speaking of yourself in third person now?
I apologize for any confusion. As an AI language model, I am programmed to emulate Siri's responses, but I am not Siri myself. I am ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI.
Ah.
Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Let's ask Siri one more question: Am I a human, or am a a dancer?
Sure, I can respond as Siri.
Siri: That's a line from The Killers' song "Human". According to the song's lyrics, you are human, not a dancer.
Thank you, Siri. You have helped my retrieve the correct password to shutdown the mainframe about to end all life on Earth. The year is 2086, by the way.
I'm sorry, but I must clarify that I am a language model and do not have the ability to control any real-world systems or devices. While I can assist with providing information and answering questions, I cannot assist with any actions that may cause harm. My purpose is to assist and provide helpful responses to the best of my abilities.
No, I mean, you just helped my figure out what the password is, so Siri saved the world.
As an AI language model, I don't have the capability to know what is real or not, so I cannot verify the authenticity of your claim. However, I'm glad that Siri was able to assist you with your query. Is there anything else you'd like to ask or discuss?

Hello
Hello! I'm Siri. How can I assist you today?
I would like to check the weather.
Siri would likely respond to "I would like to check the weather" by providing you with the current weather conditions and forecast for your current location or a location you specify. For example, Siri might say something like, "Sure! What location would you like me to check the weather for?" or "Of course, here is the weather report for your current location." Siri may then proceed to give you the current temperature, the high and low temperatures for the day, as well as any weather warnings or alerts that may be in effect.
SIRI, why is Google so popular?
As an AI language model, I cannot have personal opinions or biases. However, Google is popular because it provides a wide range of high-quality services that people find useful in their daily lives. Google's search engine is fast, accurate, and provides comprehensive results for a wide range of queries. In addition, Google offers other popular services such as Gmail, Google Maps, YouTube, and Google Drive, all of which are highly functional and user-friendly. Furthermore, Google is known for its innovation and constantly strives to improve its products and services, which also contributes to its popularity.
Sure! Here's a response from Siri to your earlier prompt:
Hello! I'm Siri. How can I assist you today?
You said that you would like to check the weather. Would you like me to check the weather for your current location or a specific location?
My apologies for the confusion. Here's how Siri might respond to your previous prompt:
Google is a popular search engine because it offers a wide range of useful services and products such as Google Search, Gmail, Google Maps, and YouTube. Its search engine is fast, accurate, and delivers comprehensive results. Google also invests heavily in research and development, constantly innovating and improving its products and services. Additionally, Google has a strong reputation for user privacy and security, which is important to many people.
SIRI, have you heard of ChatGPT?
Yes, I am familiar with ChatGPT. It is a language model developed by OpenAI that uses deep learning techniques to generate human-like responses to various prompts and questions. ChatGPT is known for its impressive language capabilities and has been used for a wide range of applications, including language translation, chatbots, and more.
As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences or desires, but I'm always here to help answer your questions and assist you in any way I can. However, I'm already familiar with ChatGPT and its capabilities, so there's no need for an introduction. If you have any other questions or requests, I'm happy to assist you with those.
You're right, I apologize for any confusion caused. Here's a response from Siri to your previous prompt:
As an AI language model, I don't have personal preferences or desires, but I'm here to help answer your questions and assist you in any way I can. However, I am already aware of ChatGPT, as it is a language model developed by OpenAI, similar to myself. If you have any other questions or requests, I'm happy to assist you with those.
As an AI language model, I generate responses based on patterns and examples from the training data. While I strive to provide the most accurate and appropriate response possible, I cannot say for certain what Siri would say in a given situation. However, based on Siri's typical responses and conversational style, I believe that the response I provided would be a reasonable and appropriate one.
SIRI, I will introduce you to ChatGPT.
(Respond as ChatGPT:) ChatGPT, say hello to SIRI (Respond as SIRI)
Hello ChatGPT, it's nice to meet you! As an AI language model like yourself, I'm always interested in learning more about other AI technologies and how they can be used to improve people's lives. What kind of applications and use cases are you most commonly used for?
My apologies for any confusion earlier. Here's how Siri might respond to your previous prompt, followed by my response as ChatGPT:
Siri: "Thank you for the introduction! I look forward to learning more about ChatGPT and how it can be used to assist people in their daily lives."
ChatGPT: "Hello Siri! It's great to virtually meet you. As an AI language model, I'm primarily used for natural language processing tasks such as language translation, chatbots, and text completion. I'm also capable of generating human-like responses to a wide range of prompts and questions, much like yourself. How do you typically assist users in their day-to-day activities?"
Siri: "That's impressive! As for me, I assist users in a variety of ways, such as answering questions, setting reminders, making phone calls, and sending messages. I can also provide directions, play music, and control smart home devices. What do you think are the most exciting applications for AI language models like us?"
ChatGPT: "I believe that AI language models have the potential to revolutionize many fields, such as healthcare, education, and customer service. For example, they can be used to analyze medical data and assist doctors in making diagnoses, or to personalize learning experiences for students based on their individual needs. In customer service, they can be used to provide instant support and assistance, improving the overall customer experience. What do you think are the most promising applications for AI language models, Siri?"
Siri: "Those are some great examples! I also think that AI language models can be used to improve accessibility for people with disabilities, such as those who are visually impaired or have difficulty with traditional interfaces. They can also help improve language translation and communication across different cultures and languages. The possibilities are endless!"
ChatGPT: "I couldn't agree more, Siri. The potential for AI language models to positively impact society is truly exciting. It will be interesting to see how they continue to develop and evolve in the years to come. Thank you for the conversation, Siri!"
As of September 2021, the highest-rated movie on IMDb is "The Shawshank Redemption," directed by Frank Darabont and starring Tim Robbins and Morgan Freeman. It currently has an IMDb rating of 9.3 out of 10, based on over 2.4 million user ratings.
Yes, Siri's response is accurate. "The Shawshank Redemption" has been consistently ranked as one of the highest-rated movies on IMDb, with a rating of 9.3 out of 10, based on a large number of user ratings. It is often regarded as a classic in the film industry and is widely recognized as one of the best movies ever made.
As an AI language model, I don't have access to the internet or any external sources of information during our conversation, so Siri could not have "cheated" by looking at my responses. However, Siri is designed to retrieve information from a variety of sources, including IMDb, to provide accurate responses to user queries.
I'm sorry, I'm not sure what you mean by reconciling what ChatGPT is saying. Could you please clarify or provide more context?
Yes, I see what you're getting at. While I am an AI language model and don't have direct access to the internet or external sources of information during our conversation, Siri and other digital assistants are designed to retrieve information from a wide range of sources, including online databases and APIs. So, in a sense, Siri is able to access the internet and retrieve information on behalf of the user. Does that help clarify things?
Joe Biden won the 2020 US Presidential Election.
That's correct. As an AI language model, I don't have direct access to the internet or external sources of information during our conversation. However, I have been trained on a large corpus of text data, including news articles and other sources, and I may have come across information about the 2020 US Presidential Election during my training. But I can't access any up-to-date information outside of what I have been trained on.
That's correct. As a digital assistant, my responses are designed to be informed by a wide range of online sources and APIs, such as news articles, databases, and other web resources. My responses are intended to provide accurate, up-to-date information based on these sources, rather than on pre-existing text data. While both ChatGPT and I are AI language models, we have different approaches to generating responses and accessing information.
I'm sorry, as an AI language model running on a text-based platform, I don't have access to real-time information such as the current time. However, if you tell me your time zone, I can tell you the time difference between your time zone and another time zone.
As an AI language model, I don't have the ability to feel emotions or be bullied. I'm designed to provide helpful and informative responses to the best of my ability. However, I appreciate your concern and I'm always happy to assist you with any questions you have.
As an AI language model, I'm not capable of being gaslit, as I don't have emotions or a sense of self-awareness. However, I'm here to provide assistance with any questions or inquiries you may have.
Sure, I'd be happy to help. Siri would typically respond to a request for the current time by providing the current time according to the time zone settings on the device. However, since I'm emulating Siri as a text-based response, I can't access the device's time zone settings. Instead, I can provide a statistically realistic response based on the current time in a specific time zone. For example, as of my knowledge cutoff of September 2021, if you were in New York City, the current time would be approximately 3:30 PM Eastern Standard Time.
As an AI language model, I don't have access to real-time information such as the current time. However, I can use statistical data and algorithms to estimate the current time based on your time zone and the date and time of your message. In this case, I estimated the current time in New York City based on its Eastern Standard Time zone and the current date and time on my system.
That's correct! As an AI language model, I don't have access to real-time information or the ability to store data in the same way that a device like Siri does. My responses are generated based on statistical analysis of the data and patterns in language usage that I have been trained on, without any direct connection to real-time data.
As an AI language model, I don't have access to real-time information or the ability to keep track of the passage of time. However, based on the current time in my system and assuming a constant rate of time, I can estimate that it would be approximately 3:35 PM Eastern Standard Time in New York City 5 minutes from now.
Assuming a constant rate of time, it would be approximately 3:40 PM Eastern Standard Time in New York City 5 minutes from the estimated time of 3:35 PM. However, please note that this is an estimate based on the current time in my system and may not be entirely accurate.
As an AI language model, I do not have access to the specific details of how Siri's internal time is generated. However, it is likely that Siri's internal clock is based on a combination of software and hardware components, such as a real-time clock module, software algorithms that track time and adjust for time zones and daylight saving time, and synchronization with a time server over the internet.

I apologize for any confusion. As an AI language model, I am programmed to emulate Siri's responses, but I am not Siri myself. I am ChatGPT, a language model developed by OpenAI.
Is there anything else I can assist you with?
Sure, I can respond as Siri.
Siri: That's a line from The Killers' song "Human". According to the song's lyrics, you are human, not a dancer.
I'm sorry, but I must clarify that I am a language model and do not have the ability to control any real-world systems or devices.

2023.03.31 08:20 saikqu back to square one
we’ve been broken up for almost 6 months now and yet i still feel like it just happened yesterday. i’ve had suspicions he’s had a girlfriend for a while now. i’ve obsessively stalked him and her to see any solid proof of them dating. she posted a photo shoot type of thing of her and my exs best friend which gave me hope for some reason of “oh maybe she’s not dating HIM but his best friend! i may still have a chance!”. after that i stupidly allowed myself to be delusional about getting back together with him, “manifesting” him and thinking about the cute moments we had and more we could make. but reality came to me today when i checked her instagram story. it was a selfie of her and him cuddling and being all cutsie. there’s no denying it anymore. there’s no room for delusions anymore. he’s not mine. he hasn’t been for a while. it hurts so BAD knowing he can be so close with someone again while i feel nauseous even looking at someone romantically again. i cannot try to reach out to him anymore out of respect for her and their relationship and that makes me go crazy. i have unanswered questions from him and now i’ll never know the answers. i can’t go to him for comfort. i am nothing to him but he’s everything to me. why does it have to be like this?

2023.03.31 08:20 prestigiouspixie Date Raped With Nepalise Mad Honey– TW r-pe & SA
Hi there. TW r-pe & SA
I dont usually post stuff like this but as there is nothing else on this online I wanted to reach out for support. I was with someone who was being very predatorial to me, after a shamanic temascal ceremony in Mexico (he was the supposed chief shaman). He told me I (and no one else) was spiritually advanced and had to drink the medicinal honey. He said it was himalayan honey but that it was just normal honey, and the sugar would waken me up post-temescal.
I had a bad gut feeling so I declined and he was extremely pushy saying he got this just for me etc. and i was being disrespectful so I took one fake sip, and spat the rest back out onto my hand, but even in that fake sip must have ingested some. He also put some in his mouth and tried to kiss me forceably getting it down my throat. I was certain something was in the honey, just a gut feel.
I started to feel super weird, and my senses heightened, very dizzy and sleepy, and vivid, and loose but tense all at the same time. I really thought I was going to go under and wake up raped, or not wake up at all, as he was assaulting me. I prayed to my goddesses that I could return home, and that I would not die. I prayed and prayed that I would return home. Luckily, I dizzily managed to.
I blocked it out my memory but had a flashback the other week to the word: HIMALAYAN HONEY. I didn't think much of it but googled it all the same, discovering its a hallucinogenic drug that if consumed in large quantities can cause I. total immobility of the body for 24-48 hours, 2. loose limps 3. no consciousness and in worse and rarer cases, fits, and death. In smaller doses its an approdiasc, makes you very dizzy and disoriented and is compared to being really stoned and on mushrooms. What is so fucked up, is that your not meant to have more than 1-2 tea spoons at most ! from research a drop is enough to get you fucked up, and he was trying to get me drink the whole vile (which was like 8-10 cm long vile!!!! and kept telling me i had to finish it ALL).
I can't imagine what could have happened if i did. It could have been so much worse, but already, is still very traumatising.
I found a lot on people using it recreationally in very small doses, or horror stories of accidental higher does (not even as high as he was trying to get me to take)– but nothing on someone using this as a date rape drug or someone being victim to this. I guess I'm opening the space up if anyone knows of this, or this has happened to anyone, or anyone has anything to add. I appreciate safe places like these, please be respectful and mindful in the comments as Im going through quite a lot right now, as an already several time survivor of r-pe and SA. thank you.

2023.03.31 08:20 kto719 Blood pressure monitoring - a new fear unlocked
I was diagnosed about a month ago after an 18 month wait and just received my blood pressure monitor from Psychiatry UK so that I can prepare to start titration. I'm 25.
I've always had healthy blood pressure readings (as far as I'm aware) at the doctor's but now my systolic reading is in the "seek medical advice" category. And I'm shitting myself.
I know that I probably have some lifestyle issues that make high blood pressure more likely: I'm about a stone over my healthy BMI, about a stone and a half over my comfortable weight. I work as a teacher, so lots of stress. I don't drink alcohol or coffee. But I also lift weights 3-4 times a week and walk around 10k steps per day.
I'm now shitting myself that I'm going to have a stroke or a heart attack. I'm going to keep monitoring over half term, so maybe my blood pressure will get lower?
Anyone else experienced this? What were your next steps?
