What's your favorite type of clothes for regular practice? I have a few pair of workout leggings but i just hate how my rear looks in those especially the solid colored ones (I don't mind the printed colorful ones for look. they also have a smoother fabric on inside that just slides while taking off unlike the solid ones). tbh i would love to wear the soft cotton pyjama leggings but I'm worried about ripping and embarrassing moments as they're made for lying around the couch so idk how much they can take. I also love wearing cotton joggers but they're inconvenient during leg wraps& knots, they ride all the way to my knees during drops, etc. Are cotton bottoms ok to wear? or is the polybitc mandatory. I'm not a fan of the synthetic workout wear tbh, though i sometimes like it as "athleisure" when I'm doing anything but physical activities.

Any ideas?

P.S. i have a cotton+elastane athleisure leggings that's so soft, fits like second skin, is very flattering and doesn't make the butt look weird because of thick fabric, but it gives me the same "would it rip today" scare during splits

...with the story about the autistic kid with the blueberries and hammer. It has the fat guy painting in the bg, and Theo wearing a blue shirt.

it goes like: "i don't wanna ice in my drink i want it blahblah ... i don't want a runny runny runny runny beverage i just..."

yeah that's about it

it's a basic drop i guess...so it appears that you are standing straight holding the fabric in your hands. Legs are in a knot and more - feet look wrapped and maybe they're tied together? not sure. You let go of your hands and fall backwards - it's a 180° so now you're hanging by your legs upside-down. Is there a name for this drop?

Most people over the internet and almost everyone I know who's into the woo-woo side of things loves the idea of spirit guides. I did too till recently. Since I was a kid I was dying to have one friend who's anything but human.

My question is-

When people meditate and get guidance from what they call spirit guides...Who are the spirit guides? Are these the same tricksters who meet you in afterlife and make you say yes to another round?

Most people I know have benefitted from whatever guidance they recieve in the trance states. If spirit guides are benevolent beings outside these schemers why don't they show people the truth' instead of giving surface level solutions. Example: one of my friends believes in raising the vibration, follows joe dispenza, Abraham Hicks, etc. but is unaware of this side of the rabbit hole, or ignores it because it's low vibe. I don't blame her I've been there too, cause I believed if high vibe is the solution why stress with these "negative" things. That will only make it easier for them and difficult for us. Anyways

I never had contact with any spirit guide as such in my adventures. Any help or knowledge I recieved was through me if that makes sense? Yes, it would come from above and beyond but I never had contact like that. Are these "spirit guides" just the persons higher self?

edit here// I would like to add : who are benevolent guides like bashar and Abraham Hicks? cause yes their guidance helps but Abraham atleast (I haven't watched a lot of bashar) avoid going into these things, their narrative being creation, manifestation, be happy, have fun, you're powerful create whatever. which I get. if you put all this stuff on people they would just get afraid and it will kill the plan of ascension. who are these beings though, and why can't they intervene directly? are they not allowed to? by whom?

So many "I'm behind on my assignments" type of stories out here. Turning me off. Have you guys put off doing something for years?? Even decades? I would like to hear the story. Sometimes it's a silly thing you think you'd just do by next month for sure but now you look back, it's almost a decade and you didn't do it. Yet. Have you?

I downloaded the app after ages and tried reading a few popular ones, and not to be high brow but most of it is rock bottom ai garbage I can't stomach. Maybe it's because I do this professionally on a daily basis, but I've reached a point where I can spot ai write-ups, no matter how heavily it is edited. But the stuff I found here doesn't look like it went through any edits at all (except deleting a few m dashes). It's not that the plots are anything unique either, but the cringe sentence structures are unforgivable in any case. These books have ridiculously high views. Genuinely wondering if readers truly "enjoy" reading these? Because it's ai, I'm sure most of them would have similar writing styles, and/or similar tropes. I tried reading some smut. Such turn off. Not hating (who am I kidding, totally hating, this is a hate post). Do you really enjoy reading those ai sentences with no soul? Because I wouldn't spend so much time on something if it doesn't give me pleasure. What is it that you enjoy despite it being clearly churned out by something that's not so intelligent?

I remember being on Wattpad religiously as a kid. The ones I obsessed over the most were Laafsaab and Saving Elliot. Had it's flaws, not very perfect writing...but the imperfection was human and also, it was more about the plot (for laafsaab, though it later kept disappointing) and about the easy humour (for saving Elliot). I was reading fantastic, "real books" on the side but always kept coming back to Wattpad to read entertaining stuff written by kids not much older than me. Regular kids (and adults) having an idea and writing a whole freaking book with not much experience or skills. And it still managing to hook serial readers like me. That's Wattpad. Was. We still made fun of most of the writing on there but I don't think I ever felt hate for someone trying their best. Good for them they're getting an audience for something they decided to "write." But I hate these no-effort ai factories.

So, what is it you get from reading these annoyingly framed ai sentences around an equally zero-effort plot and characters with no distinguishing characteristics? What is it? Again, not being sarcastic. Just curious. Because I cannot wrap my mind around the concept of reading something, actually spending time reading something, stressing your precious eyes out over utter shit. I would understand if it was smut as long as it turned you on. But I bet ai written smut would actually do the opposite. I'm sure of it. I tried clicking on nsfw chapters of random popular yaoi to be sure, and yes, it was utter shit. Way shittier than i imagined.

Couldn't post this on the official channel cause they have banned the word “ai”. Surprise. I don't blame them. If i was running the business I'd do the same. I do blame they Reader's though...

edit// I typed this long ass post and we all know the answer to my question is: bad taste
