Mindfulness meditation, not the catchy popular kind your work teaches but the actual Buddhist mindfulness. It’s whole purpose is to be able to see the arising and passing away of thoughts/feelings without getting involved.

That or she may have Raynaud’s disease. Lots of people do. I have it and my body can be actually very hot but because of vasospasm my feet are ice cold. They go numb in wintertime.

You could just do large batches of cold brew in a big container, basically with the powder loose in the liquid. Filtration would be a pain in the ass and may take a couple of rounds, but it would be just a “once in a while” pain in the ass vs every day.

Recent WHO recommendations say that artificial sweeteners are not useful for weight loss, but used in moderation they are not terribly unsafe as far as current studies indicate. All the stuff saying artificial sweeteners are super scary and bad is just that, scare tactics. Or it takes a gigantic amount to be bad for you, but if you replace that amount of artificial sweetener with sugar then the sugar is just as bad or worse. Better just to avoid both.

I try to avoid single studies or articles about anything, but rather look to larger recommendations from WHO or other agencies that are less likely to be influenced by $$$. Looking at a single article or study is basically meaningless. Unless you’re Joe Rogan and you’re paid to sell everyone a meat eater diet or Dr. Oz with whatever his garbage of the month is.

I have been scrolling through my feed and blocking all the weird Swedish communities that have popped up. It’s exhausting work, and sometimes I wonder if Lemmy is still fun. And then this. This is the quality shit post that I needed! Thank you.

My advice is to learn how to grow food and save seeds. I’m doing it now to develop my skills in anticipation of some day needing those skills.
