One Egg of Hope, a small level of kindness that changed my whole day:
At times I feel very low, and most of the time I can pull myself out of it.
Then there are those rare moments when you meet someone amazing, and they inadvertently pull you out of it, when you can't.
Today, was a low day, I went to run some errands, and stopped at a feed store for dog food.
The guy at the register, smiled, so I started a conversation asking about the honey they sold.
He told me about the honey and a short story of his breakfast. Since he was talkative, I asked him about local milk.
He smiled and said, "You know what buddy, I don't know anyone with local milk, but most people that come in here are farmers, and since we're a community we try to look out for each other, I'm sure I can find someone for you, I buy my eggs from our customers, I'm sure someone has cows and if you want, I can help you find some eggs and vegetables too. Leave your number and I'll get back to you, I promise", and he gave the most genuine smile ever.
I told him yes and left my number. He shook my hand and said, "My name is Todd, have a wonderful day buddy, it was really nice to meet you".
... I was shocked, the level of kindness this man had to a stranger was amazing. He went out of his way to be kind and help someone he had never met.
I got in my car and just started crying and the only thing I could think of was, "The world isn't falling apart, kindness is still out there", and I felt an overwhelming feeling of love and comfort.
Guys... be kind, it changes the world and definitely helps people keep going on a dark mental day.
No matter how small, try leaving people one small egg of hope, its powerful, I promise 🖤

@Psyched_Alpha Exactly.
I like to say “The placebo effect is not a factor to discard from research, but one that should be heavily investigated as to HOW it occurred”.
The placebo effect is one of the most important and interesting findings in all research.

@japan_nobunaga All they are trying to say is “Hi”, so all you have to say is hi back, if you start saying more or stop walking it gets weird.
It goes like this:
Them: “How are you?”
You: “Good, you?”
Them: “Good”
You: “Good”
Both: Keep walking
@MeatheadMilitia@RobertsSpaceInd Thanks for responding.
The game glitched, and booted me from the server (twice), when I returned I was spawning in a hospital and all my items (person and ship) were lost.
That’s a pretty major bug. That happens often.
GROUNDBREAKING addiction study:
52% of smoking addicts receiving psilocybin therapy (magic mushrooms) quit smoking at 6-month follow up compared to 25% in the nicotine patch group.
Psilocybin group had 6x higher odds of staying smoke-free compared to control group.

Australia’s Drug Regulator Loosens MDMA and Psilocybin Access Regulations
Australia’s drug regulator has eased access rules for MDMA and psilocybin therapy, aiming to reduce red tape and expand treatment options for patients with PTSD and treatment-resistant depression.
Amazing ❤️
Psilocybin not only works incredibly well for mental health, but also as a longevity and health treatment.
Keep your eyes open for this in the near future.
“What we’re seeing today is actual evidence from well-conducted clinical trials that [psychedelics] have a strong therapeutic potential—that they have a potential to do things that our traditional medications haven’t been able to accomplish.” - Tiffany Farchione, FDA Division of Psychiatry Director
