@FischerKing64 Life is … interesting but more often than not , not *that* surprising

They are both living their best lives

It’s been a strange and rough week on the international stage, locally with criminal doxxing - and I’ve had my own bumps. I like to sit in the dark and listen to music when I want to calm down and realize whatever is going on - things will be ok. This is the complete slow section of Beethoven’s 8th Piano Sonata. Everyone familiar with classical era music will know it already. People who don’t listen to this music probably have heard it on TV or excerpts in a film. It’s a good movement to teach someone ‘Rondo form’ because it’s so easy to follow. You will hear the main theme right up front for over a minute - and then two more times. In between you will hear two departing episodes that exist to make the movement more interesting. But this is very easy to follow, is beautiful - and it’s a courtesy of a great composer to his audience. And if you’ve had a rough day or week - it will hit the spot.

@FischerKing64 Chills this brought back a childhood memory I’d forgotten.

I’m wary of “nice” people.

@ossuoraintj Or be an entp 🥲

INTJと二人きりになった時の「あの沈黙」、気まずいですよね…。奴らはマジで自分から心を開かないし、壁が厚すぎる。 でも実は、INTJの心の扉をこじ開ける「最強の鍵」があります。 今日から使える、INTJが思わずニヤける言葉一覧はこちら↓

@ben_r_hoffman @hyperdiscogirl Bingo

@hyperdiscogirl Much better to augment your diet so you no longer crave a food, than to withhold it from yourself

one week no chocolate after eating 3-6oz of it almost every day for a long ass time. I was nibbling chocolate all day every day the way that some people hit a vape. im currently sucking on a sugar free butterscotch candy in attempt to hit a similar spot

@FischerKing64 Did the general public buy it at the time ? Was it understood that Dobson had be “played”. I don’t know much about this.

For instance, at one point Bundy says he can’t talk about murdering a 12 year old girl and pretends to be deeply morally conflicted. Dobson, in a consoling tone, says ‘it’s too painful.’ Really Bundy’s lawyers told him to say nothing about that particular case because people find murdering children even worse than killing a woman in her 20s. So it was strategic fake emotion.

I will always remember Dobson for ‘platforming’ America’s premier serial killer the day before his execution. Dobson was excited that Bundy would blame murdering 36 women on his use of porn. But really it was Bundy playing Dobson - lying, hoping for a reprieve. youtu.be/j2GyLYyaIR0?si…

@abemurray When did you “know”

I feel seen

@RealSarahWall @CatQuestionsAll @officer_Lew Right … which is why her answer was weird and odd

@CatQuestionsAll @officer_Lew Or maybe she has kids? Who need a parent?

WATCH🚨: Ben is right — the person most likely responsible for endangering Erika Kirk’s safety right now is Candace Owens. Why? Because Candace openly boasted that she has people watching Erika 24/7. And yet, Megyn Kelly still refuses to condemn Candace Owens for it.

@sivori Really ah - there was a familiar vibe !

@thebrittwill Yes, very good! ENTP. Enneagram 8w7.

My wife and I went to Spain after we were together for a few months. We got into a huge argument on the train platform in Madrid when we arrived, literally yelling at each other with our stupid backpacks on, because I wanted to go into Madrid for a cafe con leche and a chocolate pastry at a bakery I liked near the Plaza del Sol and she wanted to get situated at our hotel down in Seville like a normal person because we had flown all night. Needless to say, we got the pastry, which was probably stupid. When we arrived in Seville I was so exhausted I racked out in the hotel and slept nearly the whole first day away while my wife explored the neighborhood and planned the rest of the time we were there because I could not be trusted with the plans. And this is how our relationship has been. I offer zany ideas, which I have to fight for and occasionally get my way, while she keeps things on track. But, this negotiation of two powerful personalities was a necessary beginning for our relationship before we got into a rhythm. You have to confirm you can work through things.

@sivori *consciously built certain...

Hm Ok. I am much better at this irl but alas here goes. I think definitely Ne, also Ti but where ? You think in frameworks. I also think you're a "P" type. You talk about not remembering the past very well and seem to have continuously built certain habits/systems that would be second nature to others - Si inferior? Fe not Fi. Your wife is most likely a J type. I may have a blind spot here but NeTiFeSi ?

@sivori Did you have this realization later on in life or relatively early on compared to your peers growing up ? (this is for my functions guess lol )

This is “shadow work”. Bringing unconscious contents into awareness. And it’s difficult because these contents are necessarily things suppressed by consciousness.

It’s not enough that you be in touch with your feelings, almost everyone can achieve this, but you must also be in touch with the feelings under the feelings. Uncover those things you have buried, return to your origins and climb down a hundred ladders.

@sivori What are your top 4 cognative functions (personality type) , prey tell ?

I showed this post to my wife. She reminded me of some humbling details, such as that we were wearing backpacks because I insisted on using them rather than rolly bags as it was more romantic somehow. I’m glad she’s not on 𝕏 to fact check me.

@bilal7yed @aakashgupta The now brand has another ingredient on it that is the same amount of l theanine. I don’t know what it is but it have me foggy head and flue like symptopms switched brands to one with magnesium and it worked so very well.

@aakashgupta not for everyone imo, personally L theanine makes me feel oddly existential and low, apparently this result makes sense given my genetic predisposition - I feel like while it works for most people it isn’t always the right supp for everyone, matcha is fire tho

L-theanine is the only legal compound that changes your brainwaves on an EEG within 40 minutes of swallowing a capsule. And the mechanism is wild. Your brain constantly balances two opposing neurotransmitters. Glutamate fires neurons. GABA calms them. L-theanine is a structural mimic of glutamate, close enough to cross the blood-brain barrier and sit on glutamate receptors. But instead of firing the neuron, it partially blocks the signal. Your excitatory system downshifts without you feeling sedated. That downshift cascades. GABA levels rise. Serotonin and dopamine both increase. EEG studies at Oxford showed 200mg produces measurable alpha wave activity in the 8-13 Hz range across the parietal and occipital cortex. Alpha waves are the frequency your brain produces during meditation and flow states. Most people spend years trying to access that band through breathwork. A capsule gets there in 40 minutes. The part that makes it genuinely useful: a 2016 study gave subjects L-theanine during a multitasking stressor. The placebo group's brains shifted into high-beta stress mode. The L-theanine group maintained alpha dominance under the same conditions. Their brains stayed in calm-focus while processing the same cognitive load. Pair it with caffeine and the synergy gets even more interesting. Caffeine alone sharpens attention but triggers tremor, anxiety, and an eventual crash. L-theanine blocks the jitter pathway without touching the alertness pathway. You get the focus of coffee without the cortisol spike. One cup of green tea contains roughly 20mg of L-theanine, which is why tea feels different from coffee at equivalent caffeine doses. 200mg daily is the dose most studies use. That bottle is 100mg capsules. Two per day. Yes, it's worth the hype. One of the few supplements where the EEG data actually matches what people report feeling.

@WhiteHouse Lol

🚨 President Donald J. Trump makes a statement on Iran:

Trump's leverage has always been psychological unpredictability

This particular “now” brand does not only have L theanine in its ingredient. It has the same amount (100mg) of another ingredient can’t rem the name but it gave me headaches, flu like symptoms and a weird puffy head feeling. Thought it was the L theanine but researched it and switched brands to one with magnesium as only other ingredient and that worked perfectly for me. I use L-tyrosine from Now and that’s been fine.

Oops deleted my tweet 🥲 but yes found this at the MOST stressful point of my life and I cannot underscore how effective it was. Both at night (the one I had came with magnesium) and for calm and focus under an impossible amount of stress. I drank a lot of matcha tea (powder + water) and decided to look into why I found it so calming and mood boosting and came across L- theanine. paired with L-tyrosine (periodic use) a literal life saver - not exaggerating.

this thing + magnesium + glycine singlehandedly saved me from more anxiety attacks than I care to count combine the three with coffee and you’ll never have another jitter in your life

@HeidiPriebe1 @gptbrooke @sensefulronin Is your talk in Toronto ?

@gptbrooke @sensefulronin Hard same!!

If you’re attracted (socially, sexually etc.) to high agency people, I really cannot stress enough how important it is to also look at whether their agency trends in a pro- or anti- social direction. Are they invested in improving the world or would they delight in watching it burn? Really easy to mistake psychopathy for healthy high agency if you fail to squint.
