Keeping Kids Safe From Gun Accidents: 6 Strategies For Families

What are your ideas? Politics as a Window to the Soul? We term our politics a "philosophy" when we'd like to ascertain distance between our instant, everyday life and the things we sanction with our vote. Some issues should not philosophy but pathology, and I have a feeling you’re not speaking about someone with whom you disagree on, say, interstate commerce. I’m certain you’re proper that this neighbor would by no means hurt your baby. Personally, I wouldn't have a play date with someone I believed was racist, sexist, homophobic, or any variation of intolerant. There are those that would claim this is merely "political philosophy" (and decry me as intolerant for rejecting them), but as you your self mentioned, what we imagine politically shows who we're deep down. You’re allowed to choose with whom you and your child spend time according to whatever metric you like. I enjoyed many sleepovers as a toddler, and now as a guardian I'm comfortable for my elementary-age kid to do the same with households we know effectively and trust. However, she’s been invited to several weeknight sleepovers-during the college yr-which sounds wild to me. Am I wrong to suppose these are weird?

What automobile did "Top Gear" check in opposition to the TVR Tuscan? With the engine, gearbox and working gear of an M3 of the identical vintage, the Wiesmann MF three looked like a conventional British sports activities car however dealt with like a surgical instrument. Its implausible handling is right down to low profile tires, short springs, and apparently, magic. Somehow it did all this without being uncomfortable. What Italian-made automobile with a German engine did "Top Gear" check, concluding that it was superb but ineffective? Pagani's AMG-powered vehicles are superb machines, but the Zonda R, the highest evolution of the Zonda, was a breed apart. Costing £1.Forty six million and not avenue legal, the made-for-the-observe Zonda R was very cool and very rare, but in addition not legal on most British racetracks resulting from their noise restrictions. What traditional automobile did Chris Harris discuss with as "this strange object"? The Porsche Type sixty four is the car Ferdinand Porsche built using a VW Beetle, the 'take a look at bed' as Harris described it.

By the time I was thirteen and a half, I had developed an arsenal consisting of Micro Machines with base dispensers, some bongos (I have scary-awful rhythm), a falcon and a M20A1 Super Bazooka. The latter one is a complete nother pile of enjoyable. Once i performed with that factor, I all the time preferred holding it sideways with one hand, as a result of it regarded so cool and gangsta. I could then blast anything I wished and be wildly off goal (as a result of I used to be so gangsta), but it surely did not actually matter, because shit still exploded. Haystacks, lawn gnomes, celery stalks all felt the blast of my bazooka. So children, get on the market and get pleasure from this summer. If you're beneath 13, be happy to shoot off some squirt guns, they're moderately enjoyable, they usually definitely make issues wet. And if you're over 13.5, there's nothing like the haze of a bazooka blast rising up via the setting summer sun. Well, that's except for a blast from the Super Soaker CPS 2000, foam ammunition Toys but who may afford that?

One look at the mercury reveals this summer time is heating up. And as just about anyone who has slipped on a slide or sprinkled on a sprinkler (ewww), they know it's time to swimsuit up and arm yourself with a water gun. But one should select their H2O weaponry wisely. Going with an ordinary (IE Lame) pea-shooter number of guns is certain to result in disappointment. Even worse than the "chump" utilizing an excellent Soaker 50 in this early 90s "Zap It" business. Growing up, I used the Super Soaker CPS 2000 as my weapon of choice. It was actually a blast a minute, but eventually I grew up. I progressed in age past 13. Suddenly I became a teenager, and it's not cool to play squirt guns. We're supposed to make use of this time to turn out to be considering women-and not just as squirt targets (though, I suppose this statement somewhat holds). Yes, squirt guns have been pigeonholed as one thing only performed with by people beneath the age of 13. When i hit the big one three and all of the sudden realized I might not squirt, it was dark instances.

What 694 BPH modern supercar put Richard in thoughts of the film "Top Gun"? The manufacturing supercar based on the work Lamborghini did on the Sesto Elemento, the Aventador was Lamborghini's method to a more "balanced" supercar. Yes, it is stupidly quick, but it surely also handles, and brakes and is safe, but its top velocity is still 217 mph, which is faster than its manufacturing predecessors. The McLaren P1 was McLaren's first effort at a modern, hybrid supercar. Its monumental 903 hp got here from a mixture of a 727 hp V8 and a 177 electric motor, meaning the P1's electric motor, on its own, is more powerful than some compact automobiles. When combined with the 2.8 liter V8, nonetheless, the electric automotive made a monster. The Lamborghini Urus is Lamborghini's take on the household hauler. Possibly resulting from Audi's affect, it's refined, comfy, capable on snow and ice, and may even go off-highway as a lot as one can in a car costing £159,925.

Most definitely, early hammers had been literal rocks that individuals used. Drills are a number of the oldest tools in the world, far older than many people understand.

Thanks to their versatility with blades that can be easily swapped in and out, you possibly can cut any number of arduous substances with a hacksaw, from plastic pipe to ceramic tiles. An impact driver is totally different than a regular energy drill or perhaps a hammer drill insofar as it increases the ability being delivered perpendicular to a screw or a bit. This implies increased torque, like using a protracted wrench to loosen a bolt. A skeleton gun is a fairly easy merchandise however extremely useful to have around for those who ever need to seal some cracks or run a bead of adhesive somewhere. The skeleton gun holds dozens of different kinds of merchandise and presents control in laying it out.

The Surfer And The Siren

Chapter Two:The Blondes,The Dog and The Girl in the Woods.

Chapter One

@kelsiejayy​ designed this mood board :) 

“Why is it always the blondes?”Richard asked.You shrugged,folding the snack bag closed. “They remind me of him.”You answered.Richard just nodded,pulling the strings of the bag tight. “Will you tell him stories about me when im gone?”Richard asked.You pouted. “You’ve still got a few more years,Rich.”You mumbled.He just chuckled. “Lets get going,weve got thirteen hours to go.”he locked the door as you walked out.You two got into his older car,driving down the bumpy roads to his house.You ran up the small grassy hill and up to the front porch,kneeling to pet Blue on his stomach.You then ran inside,jumping onto the couch and holding your favorite pillow to your chest.Richard let the dog in,going into the kitchen to show you that he had already set out your favorite cookies.ayou ate seven before you ran into the backyard to see how much taller the sunflowers had grown since the last time you had been over to the house.You rolled in the grass,lifting yourself into a tree and giggling loudly.

It felt like it had been a long time since you had even touched a tree.Probably because it had been.Richard placed his phone on the outdoor table,allowing your favorite songs to play.There was some Queen,some Disney,some instrumental and some early 2000’s music.You got down from the tree,telling him you were going to take Blue for a walk.Richard nodded,standing up.He wasnt as fast or energetic as he had been 60 years ago.He couldnt give you piggy back rides anymore or play soccer in the middle of the woods.It didnt really matter though.He was still good old Richard with his shitty jokes and his big grey hound.You grabbed Blue’s leash,clipping it to his collar.RIchard shouted to you to let you know that you could go without him.You ran down the street,racing the large dog all the way to figure eight.You ended up on the beach behind the kook mansions.You had watched as they had been built all those years ago,wondering what kind of rich straight white dudes were going to move in there.

You were unaware of the camera watching you from a tall tree,oblivious to the notification that was sent to Rafe Cameron’s phone.Blue leaned against you,laying down at your feet.You sat indian style,allowing the dog to rest in your lap. “Are you a handsome baby?”You grinned,tapping the dogs nose.He sneezed,moving upwards to look your chin.Rafe came up behind you,his eyes focusing on your hair.He hadnt been prepared or even thought about what he was going to say.He just didnt want to miss you. “Hello?”You called out,feeling someone looking at you.He inhaled sharply and his fists clenched. “Sorry,sorry-I didnt mean to scare you.”He spoke awkwardly.Blue sat up,staring him down and growling.You looked over your shoulder,grip tightening on Blue’s leash.That wasnt Ward.Ward was a normal person,he aged.You had watched him age. “Ward?”You asked,not calling off Blue.Rafe shook his head,not being able to form words.You dragged your fingers along the back of Blue’s neck to calm him.The dog leaned into your touch,slumping against you. 

“Um...Im Rafe-Rafe Cameron.My dad’s name is Ward,though.”He answered.You nodded,standing up and brushing the sand off of your clothing.He looked just like Ward when he was in his early twenties.Ward had always been a bit of the sketchy type but never too bad.He wore his long sleeve shirts rolled up to his elbows,socks and sandals and always had some sort of fancy watch clinging to his wrist.You had been to the Cameron’s dock countless times just to check if Ward Cameron was still alive and walking.You wrapped Blue’s leash around your wrist so he wouldnt go too far. “I like your hair.”He spoke,pointing to the blue curly mess.Your eyebrows fell over your eyes,Blue sensed the tension and licked your fingertips.He glanced up at the tree where the camera was hidden before looking back up at you. “Okay.”You mumbled,not wanting to continue the conversation.He didnt have good intentions.It felt like you were talking to Ward,In fact,you could remember Ward telling you the same thing.Rafe sucked in a big breath,looking down at Blue and trying to ease his mind.

 “Is this your dog?”He asked,gesturing towards the greyhound.You gulped,glancing around the beach for other people. “Friend’s dog.”You answered,your voice hitting him like a wave.He stumbled a bit,deciding to just sit down.His legs couldnt hold his weight and it seemed like his head was full of wet cotton.He felt exhausted and not just from running down the road.He nodded,hands in his lap. “I will see you around,Rafe Cameron.”You spoke softly,allowing the power to sink into the air.It was probably enough to enchant the boys inside houses across the whole neighborhood and more than enough to cause Rafe to fall forward with his eyes closed.You grinned,biting down on your lip and holding back a chuckle.Men were just too easy.You jogged back up the sand and to the street,seeing a boy asleep on his lawn.It only made your smile widen as you ran back to the cut,Blue panting as he sprinted with you.When you got to the cut you were a sweating and panting mess,laughing at the feeling of pain in your kneecaps.

You kept running,savoring the sore feeling at your ankles and heels as your feet smacked the cement.When you got back to Richard’s Blue had dragged himself up the stairs tiredly to drink some water.You went inside the house,leaving the door open for Blue and laying down on the couch.Your cheeks were flushed,your skin damp from sweat. “Did you have a good run?”Richard asked.You nodded,sitting up. “I didnt know that Ward Cameron had a son.”You frowned,pushing the blue hair from your face.Richard gulped,sitting down in his reclining chair. “You saw Ward Cameron?”He asked nervously.You shook your head. “Just his son.Strange looking boy...kind of like Ward with moist hair.I didnt tell him my name,just Blue’s.He’s asleep on the beach as of right now.”You explained.He nodded,opening a bag of skittles.You giggled. “God,do you remember back in 82’ when those things first got to the store?”You asked.He nodded. “How could I forget?I was trying to get you a bag but the buggers were sold out.The rich boys were mixing them with vodka and throwing up on the streets.”He let out a wheeze like laugh.You grinned at the memory,holding your pillow to your stomach.

 “The boy...JJ.Do you know him well?”You asked.Richard raised his eyebrows,shaking his head as he poured skittles into his palm.You sighed,leaning back. “He looks like him...I saw them while I was out today.JJ and Pope,I mean.They were with another boy and a girl.The other one….I forget what he’s called.He looks like an Adam,though.He’s very terrible at surfing,I had to rescue him during a storm.And the girl...she was diving near the caves to clean up trash that had sunk.I feel drawn to them like im supposed to be part of their group.It was that feeling I had when I saw you on the beach on the night we met...I knew it would lead to something good.”You tried your best to explain your feelings.He nodded,reclining in the chair and stretching out his sore legs. “I understand,(Y/N).But I dont know enough about these kids to let you go around them.Im not trying to control you,Im just concerned for your safety.You’ve seen it all before where your kind gets involved with the wrong human folk and winds up dead or trapped in a tank.You cant let that happen,I cant let that happen.I’ll learn as much as I can about them,okay?”He asked.

You sighed,watching as Blue slowly walked in and sat by the door. “I wouldve felt if he had bad intentions or anger,he didnt.When I was out for my swim they tried to find me again to make sure that i was okay.If they were bad they wouldnt have done that.”You mumbled.He nodded. “But they didnt know who you are and what you are.Maybe if they had they would act differently but I dont exactly want to find out.Let me learn about them first,alright?”He asked.You nodded as he turned on his television. “Netflix has new films this month,why dont you flip through them until you find something you’d like to watch?”He offered,leaning forward and handing you the warm black controller.You grinned,biting your bottom lip as you watched the preview for H2o Just Add Water. “Hey-hey Richard.”You laughed.He looked up at the television,holding back a laugh as his nostrils flared. “No-nope.”He shook his head.You laughed,looking through the episode titles before snorting. “Siren effect!”You giggled.He sighed,pinching the bridge of his nose. “If that is what you want to watch than go for it.”He grinned.

You shook your head,going back to the home page.You settled on a show called I Am Not Okay With THis.You werent really paying attention because you were too busy thinking about all the things you wanted to do in such little time. “It really sucks that we cant go into the woods like we used too.”You sighed.Richard frowned,nodding in understanding. “You know that its not safe for you out there alone.”He reminded you.It was dangerous for anyone to go out at night especially young girls.The Cut had some pretty dangerous places that became even more dangerous at night. “Do you think I could go if Blue came with me?”You asked.Blue’s ears perked up at his name,his mouth falling open in a dog smile.Richard nodded hesitantly. “Alright.Dont go too far and stay away from the graveyard.”He leaned back in his seat.You grinned,standing up.You didnt bother with the leash,hopping down the front steps excitedly with Blue right behind you.You didnt think you’d ever get used to the smell of grass and the feeling of dirt between your toes.Your hair got caught in a few branches but you couldnt care less.

You could see the faint green glow of fire flies a few feet away. “Why do I always have to get the firewood?They’re perfectly capable but no,no of course theyre just too high to do basic things.”A feminine voice ranted to herself.There was no way of telling exactly how far away it was but you assumed it was pretty close when the fireflies dispersed.Blue barked softly,a growl coming from her throat. “Hello?”The voice called upon hearing the noise.You huffed,silently thanking the gods that you wouldnt have to speak to yet another boy. “Hello.”You replied,finally seeing the owner of the voice.Her dark hair was tied into a fancy french braided bun that probably took years of her childhood to master.Her skin was the color of werther’s chewy caramels.She wore a white and black hoodie that was large and a bit baggy on her small frame along with a pair of light shorts.You knew she probably couldnt make out your features in the dark.That was one of the advantages you were grateful for.You had always been able to see close to perfectly in the dark which definitely helped with your insecurities when you knew for a fact that others couldnt.

 “Why are you in the middle of the woods?”She asked.You held onto Blue’s collar so he wouldnt lunge at the pretty girl. “The dog needed to pee,what about you?”You asked.She giggled,playing with her fingers nervously as her legs got a tingly feeling. “Oh-um-firewood.What’s your dogs name?”She asked.You slowly let go of the collar.Blue walked forward eagerly to sniff at the girls shorts,hands and shoes. “Blue.”You answered.She kneeled down to pet the large dog as he sat down in front of her,licking a slimy streak on the side of her face. “And what’s your name?”She asked,directing the question towards you.You grinned upon realising that this was her.This had to be a sign. “(Y/N).”You answered,watching as her face fell and her mouth fell agape.You were the girl JJ spoke so fondly of.She could absolutely agree with him about your voice.She had never heard one quite like yours with that weird accent.

You could probably make some really incredible ASMR if you wanted too. “Do you….by any chance have blue hair?”She asked.You smiled to yourself. “That would be me.”You confirmed.She blushed,biting her lip. “Im Kiara.I think you know my friends,JJ and Pope.”She muttered.You hummed,swatting a mosquito away from your face. “I met them briefly.”You told her,snapping your fingers by your side to get Blue to come back to you.You rubbed the back of his left ear,seeing Kiara stand up straight again.The original blue was missing part of his left ear after getting into a fight with a rat the size of a puppy.That was definitely in the top ten scariest moments of your life.You and Richard had been inside the house baking a cinnamon peach cake for his mother when she came home from a long day of work.You had started to smash up butter in a large bowl that you had actually made for them when you heard a mix of screams,hisses and whimpers coming from the backyard.

He had grabbed the broom,ready to break up a fight between two young children.You had both ran outside,screaming in shock at the sight in front of you.Blue had been shaking his head back and forth,trying to get the rat of of him.You had to tackle the poor dog,ripping the rat off and practically suffocating it.Richard had ran inside to grab one of his old dirty shirts,running it under the cool faucet water before running back outside and holding it to Blue’s damaged flesh.You had thrown the rat down the hill as adrenaline coursed through your veins.He had gotten the bleeding to stop,the red liquid had stained the already dying grass.You used your bandana to hold his ear down and bandaged.That had happened only a few months before you had lost your ring and became pretty much completely confined to the ocean.Since then Richard had tried his best to keep everything the same.When the first Blue died he was quick to find a similar looking grey hound from an animal shelter.He’d created a raft out of branches and grape vines and fitted sheets so he could float out to your cave.He put newspaper into plastic wrap so you could keep up with things going on in the land.He didnt go anywhere outside of North Carolina without telling you first.Pretty much his whole life revolved around you.

“Cool,cool.So are you visiting from somewhere?”She asked.You had gotten used to that question. “No,actually.I kind of just stay under the radar,you know?”You asked.She nodded. “So are you a kook or a pogue?”She asked.You shrugged,scratching your nose. “Um...I’d say its complicated.”You answered.She hummed. “Yeah,I get that.So where do you live?”She asked. “Between friends,I suppose.I should probably get this handsome baby home before he falls asleep.It was great meeting you though.”You grinned.She nodded. “Ill see you around,(Y/N).”She smiled.You walked back through the woods the same way you had came,eventually coming back out outside of Richard’s house.

You went through the back door,the dim kitchen light making you realize the scratches on your ankles.It brought a smile to your face.You felt like a normal teen girl for the time being and you knew you only had so long. “(Y/N)?Are you back?”Richard called from the living room. “Yep!”You shouted back before heading to the bathroom.You looked in the mirror,smiling at how dry your hair was.It was dry and hanging at your shoulders,not flowing in the water or getting pushed into your face by currents.The small slits behind your ear were covered with skin and you could move your feet in circles.You werent sure which part of your life you preferred.You turned on the faucet,staring at the water that flowed out of it.You turned it off,looking back up at the mirror angrily.Your sisters never had to deal with everything you had gone through.They were all dead anyways and only god knows how many others there were out there.Hell,there could be some walking around Outer Banks right now with their rings keeping them safe.The shit you would do to get your ring back was ridiculous.

At this point you might even kill for one. “Are you okay in there?”Richard shouted.You flicked the light off,coming out of the bathroom with your hand sin the pockets of your jeans. “Rich,I just met the girl.”You told him,standing in the doorway of the living room.He say up straight,placing his bag of skittles down. “What girl?”He asked.You sighed,sitting back down on the couch indian style. “The girl.The girl from the group I saw earlier today.Ive encountered all of them now,that cannot be a coincidence!”You exclaimed.He shrugged. “Well,lets not jump to conclusions now.You say the Maybank boy looks a lot like him,yeah?”He asked.You nodded. “Well then maybe he’s related to the fella.You still have your old photo albums in the caves?The ones I laminated for you?”He asked.You nodded,waiting for him to continue. “This might be jumping to conclusions but what if Jesse is related to him?”He asked.

You sighed,shaking your head. “No,no he never had any kids.”You answered.He grinned. “Yeah,he didnt.But that doesnt mean his older sister didnt.Linda,I think.Wasnt it something like that?”He asked.You gulped. “Linden.She died in 55’ though.I dont know if she ever had kids.How would we find that out?”You asked.His eyebrows knit together,the bags under his eyes seeming darker. “We have google now.Hand me my phone,please.”He requested.You grabbed his phone off the kitchen counter,looking at his screensaver.It was a picture of a sunset taken awfully close to your cave system.You remembered that sunset in particular because of how bright the pink and purple hues had been.You didnt remember him taking the photo though.You tossed it to him,the strange object falling into his lap. “Hey siri.”He spoke to his phone.A ding came from the device. “Show me all information on Linden Silslip.”He requested.A few articles came up so he handed the phone back to you for you to scroll through.It wasnt until you got to the very bottom that you found an article about “The Sea Monster of OBX” with and interview from Linden.You looked through the article,pressing down on Linden’s name.A whole page of information came up.You couldnt believe what you were seeing.

[things2mustdo]

Win the morning. Win the day.

Step 1 – Hydrate

The first thing you need to do upon waking is chug some H2O. The average male body is made up of 60% water and you have just spent a number of hours without it. Even slight dehydration can suppress your testosterone and growth hormone production. But getting hydrated is only half the battle. You also have to make sure that you’re not drinking estrogenic water.

Water is one of nature’s best solvents, i.e. the solids it comes into contact with eventually dissolve into it. This can be dangerous given the fact that a large portion of us drink water from plastic bottles. A lot has been said about plastics here at ROK, and for good reason – plastics are a silent killer of masculinity. They contain chemicals like BPA and phthalates, both of which exert potent estrogenic effects on the male body. Avoid drinking water from plastic bottles.

Ideally, you have access to spring water that is pure of chlorine, heavy metals, and contaminants. Findapsring can help you discover a spring near you. The next best option is to opt for a Pur filter to attach to your faucet or a Brita pitcher you can fill up and stick in the fridge. Either way, start your mornings with at least 12 ounces of pure, filtered water.

Step 2 – Make Your Bed

After getting hydrated and using the toilet, go ahead and make your bed.

Admiral McRaven, retired Navy Seal and author of Make Your Bed: Little Things That Can Change Your Life, said it best:

Making your bed will reinforce the fact that the little things in life matter. If you can’t do the little things right, you’ll never be able to do the big things right. And, if by chance you have a miserable day, you will come home to a bed that is made – that you made. And a made bed gives you encouragement that tomorrow will be better.

Unfortunately, I was unable to find any evidence to support the fact that making your bed boosts testosterone, but do it anyway. It will continue to build on the positive momentum you have moving forward.

Step 3 – Get Lit

Next up, get outside and soak some sun. Your skin synthesizes vitamin D upon exposure to sunlight and vitamin D is crucial for testosterone production. If you’re currently deficient in vitamin D – and chances are, you are – then topping up your levels is perhaps the simplest way to boost your testosterone.

“But Mo, I live in Alaska and the sun barely comes out. Does this mean I’m doomed to a life of low testosterone?”

Worry not my friend. If you live in a part of the world that doesn’t get much sun (or you’re just too lazy to go outside), opt for a daily dose of 2000-5000IU of vitamin D3 to help optimize your levels.

Step 4 – Breathe Deeply

Whether it’s work, family, or financial pressures all of us have something that we’re stressed about. The problem, though, lies not in the stress itself but in our inability to deal with it effectively. This leads to the stress becoming chronic. Chronic stress is a testosterone killer, but deep diaphragmatic breathing is a proven way to conquer it.

Diaphragmatic breathing is a central tenet of the Wim Hof Method. Wim Hof is a modern day alpha superhuman known for setting a number of extreme sports world records and climbing Mount Everest during a blizzard in nothing but his shorts. What’s more is that he has taught groups of men to achieve similar feats. I bought and completed Wim Hof’s 10-week program a while back, but diaphragmatic breathing is a practice that I’ve carried on with till today.

Here’s how to get started:

Inhale through your mouth and/or nose deep into your diaphragm and exhale without any effort. Maintain a consistent rhythm for about 30 breaths. You should begin to feel a slight lightheadedness and tingling sensations in your extremities. This is a sign that your blood is becoming hyper-oxygenated. At this point, take one last deep breath, exhale, and hold for as long as you can. When you feel the urge to breathe again, take a deep breath in, hold for 20-30 seconds, and let go. That is one full cycle of what’s come to be known as the Wim Hof Method.

I do three cycles of this every single morning. I also make it a point to track my breath retention progress. When I started, I could only hold my breath for 45 seconds. Today, I can hold it for over 3 minutes.

Step 5 – Hop Into a Cold Shower

The direct link between cold showers and higher testosterone levels is not conclusive, but there is some evidence to suggest that the testes perform better in cold temperatures. Also, cold showers are a proven way to combat inflammation.

But the biggest reason to start taking cold showers everyday is to exercise your willpower. I’ve been taking cold showers for about 3 years now and I still find myself resisting them. But after the shower is over, I always feel a sense of pride and accomplishment in overcoming that little voice in my head that didn’t want to do it.

As Aubrey Marcus writes in Own the Day, Own Your Life:

In the smithy of life, cold exposure is the anvil against which your character is shaped and your resolve is hardened, so that you might confront your chronic stress and conquer it more completely.

Step 6 – Skip Breakfast

If you believe that breakfast is the most important meal of the day, you’re still plugged into the bluepill world of mainstream consciousness.

Skipping breakfast is a proven way to boost testosterone, skyrocket growth hormone, ward of oxidative stress, regulate insulin, and increase cellular repair. You can read about the science behind all these benefits here.

Simply push your first meal back 4-6 hours after waking. If you get hungry in between, drink some black coffee to suppress your appetite. The second option is to go for the 16/8 method of intermittent fasting whereby you choose an 8-hour window within which to fit all your meals, e.g between 12pm – 8pm, 10am-6pm, etc.

Conclusion

Starting your day with these six steps will not only boost your testosterone levels, but will also help transform you into a more grounded and powerful version of yourself.

If you’re like most men, there’s a gap between your intentions and your actions. You know what you need to do to get what you want, but have difficulty in following through. Want to get better with women? Interact with more women. Want to get in shape? Eat less, move more. Want to make more money? Leverage your time and focus on income producing activities. Sounds pretty simple when I put it like that, but simple does not mean easy.

Not too long ago, I found it difficult to crawl out of bed in the morning. I was always tired and barely had the energy to stay awake, let alone go to the gym, cold approach women, and build a business. I was caught in a downward spiral, breaking out of which required a tremendous amount of will. Thankfully, I realized that the root cause of my problems could be narrowed down to the simple fact that I lacked discipline. Now, I’ve come to believe that self-discipline is the missing link between everything you are and everything you’re capable of being. I believe that self-discipline is the only difference between success and failure in every aspect of life.

In this article, I’ll discuss the #1 way I’ve found to develop my self-discipline and skyrocket my energy, mood, and focus in the process.

Cold Showers: The Secret to Sending Your Discipline Through The Roof

Picture this: You finally realize the power of rising early and set an alarm for 5:00am the next day. The next morning, you groggily wake up to the sound of your alarm buzzing and a part of you tries to convince you to hit the snooze. The decision you make in that moment – whether to get out of bed or to hit the snooze – is the decision that makes all the difference.

Self-discipline is the ability to do what needs to be done regardless of whether you feel like it or not. Getting out of bed at 5am, even though you don’t feel like it, sets the momentum towards taking right action despite what your emotions tell you. It’s the same with taking a cold shower. When you enter your shower and think about turning the knob to “C,” you will hear the same voice trying to talk you out of it. But when you turn the knob anyway, you have effectively overcome that lower part of yourself and are letting your mind know who’s in charge. Then, later on in the day, when that voice tries to talk you into skipping a workout or reaching for those cookies, you are less likely to listen.

Having taken cold showers relatively consistently over the past couple of years, I know for sure that the days I start with a cold shower are always more productive than the days that I don’t. True freedom is impossible without a mind made free through discipline, and starting my day with a cold shower is the best way I’ve found to practice my willpower, develop my discipline, and learn to associate pleasure with doing the hard things in life.

Can Taking a Cold Shower Boost Your Testosterone?

As a reader of RoK and the manosphere, you’ve probably heard about cold showers in the context of boosting testosterone. Having researched this topic in-depth (check out my ultimate guide here), I’ll be the first to tell you that there is no definitive evidence to back this claim up.

Does this mean that cold showers don’t boost testosterone?

No. What it means is that there are currently no studies that have observed the phenomenon. Understand that the majority of scientific research is driven by economics. Since cold water is cheap and nobody owns the rights to it, there is no financial incentive to drive the research. This is where anecdotal evidence (personal accounts) becomes important – and there is no shortage of that. A simple Google search for “cold shower benefits” will reveal countless testimonials from men who’ve experienced profound transformation by implementing cold showers as a regular part of their life.

Although the direct link between cold showers and testosterone has not been studied, there are a bunch of mechanisms through which cold exposure can indirectly affect your T.

The Scientifically Proven Benefits of Cold Showers

Anyone who’s taken a cold shower before can attest to the increased levels of energy and focus they feel afterwards. The reason? It all comes down to a hormone called norepinephrine.

Cold water exposure stimulates the fight-or-flight response in your sympathetic nervous system and causes a massive release of norepinephrine. In this study, 1-hour of cold water exposure at a temperature of 57°F (14°C) caused a 530% increase of norepinephrine and a 250% increase of dopamine – both of which go hand-in-hand to cause a massive lift in energy, focus, and mood. On the flip side, low levels of norepinephrine and dopamine correlate with diminished focus, drive, and depression. In fact, part of how antidepressants work is by increasing the uptake of norepinephrine and dopamine in your brain. The positive effect of cold exposure on mood is so profound that researchers have begun studying it as a possible measure against depression.

Furthermore, cold water exposure has also been shown to boost immune function, increase fat-loss, and even speed up muscle recovery.

Conclusion

All in all, starting your day with a cold shower is a quick and easy way to boost your immune system, speed up your fat-loss, increase your energy levels, and massively develop your self-discipline in the process.

The Philippines’ China Dam Controversy

Hundreds of thousands of people today in Metro Manila had been left without drinking water past week, raising stress on indigenous communities in the mountains previously mentioned the Philippines money as the government seeks to tap their terrain for supply.

Citizens were pressured to queue at hearth hydrants, and firms reliant on water, not minimum laundrettes, shut or suspended operations.

Public ire is remaining leveled at Manila H2o, the personal concessionary contracted in 1997 to handle drinking water and wastewater services to the japanese region of Metro Manila on a 25-yr lease.

Making the most of this posting? Simply click right here to subscribe for comprehensive obtain. Just $5 a month.

Civil modern society groups have accused the enterprise, which is majority owned by venerable Philippines conglomerate Ayala Corp., and invested by the United Kingdom’s United Utilities and Japan’s Mitsubishi Corp., of placing profits before its public assistance obligations.

Manila Water’s failure to protected the city’s h2o source has also sparked criticism from legislators demanding that the Metropolitan Waterworks and Sewerage System (MWSS), the agency billed with administering the privatization of the capital’s h2o techniques, penalize the company, and refund customers.

Manila H2o blamed the disaster on unexpected desire from the design field, shortages in the main drinking water resource, the Angat-Ipo-La Mesa system, and delays to infrastructure initiatives intended to carry extra supply onstream.

The latter includes a series of dams in the close by Sierra Madre mountains, known as the New Centennial Drinking water Source – Kaliwa Dam Project, which have been mooted as a resolution to Metro Manila’s h2o prerequisites because the reign of Ferdinand Marcos.

The task in its entirety comprises a few dams that jointly will insert 2,400 million liters for each day (MLD) to the existing 4,000 MLD source that serves the 20 million or so people today in Manila and its encompassing areas.

According to the MWSS, the first period is slated to start off with a 60-meter concrete dam at Kaliwa, which straddles the boundary of Rizal and Quezon provinces to the east of Manila, as perfectly as a 25-kilometer conveyance tunnel, and two drinking water remedy plants.

If constructed, the Kaliwa dam would carry an more 600 MLD per day onstream, in the process securing Manila’s water offer for the up coming 10 to 15 years, MWSS formal Byron Carbon said.

The point that the conveyance tunnel is earmarked for a drinking water move capacity four moments the measurement of the source from Kaliwa’s 1st period speaks to the project’s general scope, and the two greater dams that will finally be designed at Laiban and Kanan to build a 3 dam and reservoir collection that parallels the Angat-Ipo-La Mesa program.

The dam falls below the Philippines’ involvement in China’s Belt and Road Initiative (BRI), and is shown in provisions introduced pursuing the point out check out of Chinese President Xi Jinping to Manila in November final yr.

Government officials, which includes MWSS Administrator Reynaldo Velasco and Finance Secretary Carlos Dominguez III, have arrive out in assistance of the Kaliwa undertaking, with the previous contacting it a “done deal” last week.

“The agency is functioning on the Environmental Effect Evaluation (EIA) now, the road ideal of way has been secured, and the Department of Community Functions and Highways is examining the style of the dam,” Carbon told The Diplomat, introducing that the goal date for completion of the venture is 2023.

China Electrical power Engineering Corp, the company liable for creating the A few Gorges dam in China, has been contracted to build the Kaliwa dams, but the agreement continue to be less than wraps, irrespective of ongoing makes an attempt by activists to have facts introduced to the community.

Many nongovernmental corporations oppose Kaliwa on grounds it will guide to environmental destruction and the displacement of indigenous peoples in more than 230 hectares of the REINA National Park, Wildlife Sanctuary, and Activity Maintain, a mountainous region of dipterocarp forests.

The land is owned by the Dumagats and Remontados indigenous peoples beneath a Certificate of Ancestral Domain Title. Their communities have fire-fallow farmed the location for generations, or “time immemorial” as specified by the Indigenous People’s Legal rights Act of 1997, which supposedly ensures their land rights.

A Japanese Worldwide Cooperation Agency EIA conducted for the project in the early 2000s discovered uncommon species of flora and fauna in the area, together with a number of species of rattan, a worthwhile palm made use of in the manufacture of household furniture and balls used in the kick volleyball game Sepak takraw. White-winged traveling fox, slender-tailed cloud rat, civet cats, wild boar, and the Philippine eagle and Philippine deer are among the threatened wildlife species in the area.

The EIA also outlines a total resettlement system for the displaced communities in the influenced barangays. It notes impacts which include the inundation of Dumagat livelihood places and sacred spots of worship, several of which lie adjacent to the river, as perfectly as disruption to the use of the river for transport.

Specifically how numerous indigenous individuals stand to be flooded, displaced, or if not adversely affected is subject to various estimates, ranging from the 42 households recognized in a 2017 MWSS feasibility study to the 20,000 people today labelled as at risk by a regional NGO, the Centre for Environmental Concerns–Philippines.

In principle, the Kaliwa project even now necessitates absolutely free, knowledgeable, and prior consent (FICP) approvals from the Countrywide Council of Indigenous Peoples (NCIP), the entire body billed with representing the myriad of indigenous groups in the Philippines.

Previous week, I travelled with the National Council of Churches in the Philippines (NCCP) to visit the Dumagat community that will be flooded if the next of the Kaliwa project’s 3 dams is at any time built.

The NCCP team was conducting outreach get the job done as an original move to forming a group-based overall health application that may avoid a repeat of a devastating outbreak of measles in July final calendar year that remaining 20 individuals useless.

In a corridor that doubles as a faculty for elementary little ones, about 40 members of the Dumagat group settled to hear to talks on the systemic triggers of their exclusion from the Philippines healthcare process, and what they could do to detect and stop illnesses like tuberculosis.

Wilma Quierrez Valiente, from the Dumagat group of Quezon, is a member of the Shield Sierra Madre group that operates to reinforce the bonds of the neighborhood in opposition to the menace to their way of lifetime the dam poses.

“Since I was born in 1986, I have struggled against the Kaliwa dam,” she claimed. “Our aim is to protect our ancestral lands and to press the countrywide govt to present social providers, not in return for us permitting Kaliwa, but due to the fact it is a suitable.”

Many Dumagat communities lie many several hours away from the closest well being station or faculty in the barangay centers, travel to which gets unachievable when a spouse and children falls ill or kids develop into familial duties.

“The building of the dam indicates demise for indigenous persons. The setting, the forest and rivers, serve as our medical center for the reason that of the organic plants, and as our marketplace and resource of food items the land is our cultural heritage,” Valiente reported. “If we are displaced, it will signify dying mainly because we do not know any other way of lifestyle.”

The community is braced for tries to have them indicator absent their proper to the land below the FIPC rules. Somewhere else, communities experienced reportedly been duped into signing an FICP underneath the guise of registering attendance at a foods distribution software.

With the help of a translator from the Integrated Enhancement Program for Indigenous Men and women, an NGO, I spoke with three tribal elders who collectively symbolize almost 200 families set to be impacted by the dam, each upstream and downstream of the proposed building spot. They reported the fencing off of the dam internet site will tear a gap by way of their local community as the river by itself is their major roadway.

They remain uninformed about the undertaking proposal, in element since the NCIP has stalled on accepting their proposed council consultant, Germino Mendoza. As a consequence, they have collectively decided to boycott conferences with the MWSS until eventually even further detect, and mentioned categorically that they will not accept a further NCIP prospect.

While the Dumagats show up united, an elder from Bagong Nayon in Rizal told the audience in the local community corridor that attempts are staying created to break up the local community with dollars incentives. The elder then warned of the perils of city lifestyle and declared he would rather die than give up his land.

As dusk fell outside the house the corridor, four troopers from the Philippine Military stopped by to relaxation their rifles. Their existence clearly produced the Dumagats uneasy. The elders mentioned that the army routinely patrolled their lands, ostensibly in a bid to counter the Countrywide People’s Military (NPA), the outlawed armed wing of the Communist insurgency.

In February, an NPA-affiliated team did assert responsibility for the destruction of three excavators and a digger in protest at unauthorized design perform relevant to the dam venture on Dumagat land.

Father Alex Bercasio, a Redemptorist priest who chairs the Safeguard Sierra Madre team, mentioned Dumagat elders feared a repeat of intimidation strategies that they assert led to the demise by heart assault of elder Alan Buenodicio on May 2, 2016. A rotating solid of navy personnel had allegedly forced him to consume whisky just about every early morning due to the fact he refused to produce his community’s assert to the land.

In the meantime, development on the obtain roadways from the Marcos Freeway to the dam website is very well underneath way. Diggers and cement mixers are gradually transferring in, laying the foundation for building autos and vehicles really should the dam get the go forward.

The darkness of the problem is deepened by the reality that there are various viable options to Kaliwa on supply.

Sonny Africa, government director of the IBON Basis, an NGO delivering analysis, information and education providers to people’s movements in the Philippines, mentioned that the rehabilitation of the Angat dam, coupled with the possible of a revitalization project on the Wawa River, and the opening of new materials from Laguna Lake, the Philippines’ biggest entire body of new drinking water, could negate the have to have for building at Kaliwa.

In addition, Osaka-based World-wide Utility Progress Corp. previous 7 days let it be recognised that they experienced created an unsolicited bid to finance and develop a significantly considerably less environmentally impactful 7-meter dam at Kaliwa, only to have their proposal rebuffed.

Brian Eyler, director of the Stimson Center’s Southeast Asia plan, reported that China’s deepening of BRI is resulting in an improve of policy initiatives created to meet political goals.

“What’s striking is a viable choice is staying offered,” Eyler reported. “Japan and its companies are recognized to develop high-excellent infrastructure at a time when the region’s nations are declaring that is what they will need, and quite a few nations have realized they have been burned by bad good quality Chinese tasks.”

Other bargains incorporated in the Philippines’ commitment to the BRI include things like the completion of the Chico River Pump Irrigation Job, the initially initiative underneath President Rodrigo Duterte’s flagship “Build Develop Build” infrastructure method to be funded by China.

Though the majority of Overseas Progress Support (ODA) to the Philippines is provided by Japan, China is viewed as critical to the achievements of Duterte’s Develop software, in component due to the fact of a large projected shortfall in the selection of Filipino development personnel required to complete its 75 jobs, not to mention their merged rate tag of 9 trillion Philippine pesos ($171 billion).

As is the norm with the BRI, construction of the tasks, like the Kaliwa dam, will mainly be carried out by Chinese employees, and funded by tender plan financial institution loans.

The joint statement pursuing the Duterte-Xi summit promised “complete transparency” as regards both of those sides’ involvement in BRI tasks, but neither the phrases of the loan nor the design agreement for Kaliwa have nonetheless been manufactured public.

Under a November 20, 2018, financial loan finance settlement in between the Export-Import Lender of China and the MWSS viewed by The Diplomat, the Chinese coverage bank will make out there a loan facility of up to $211.2 million, equal to 85 p.c of the contracted price of the dams, at an interest level of 2 per cent, furnished critical provisions are met.

Amongst them is a clause that states the loan company should only disburse the cash after it has acquired: “Copies of the implementation approach for land acquisition and resettlement … all requisite approvals for this sort of system [sic], and penned confirmation issued by the Chinese Contractor stating that the precise position of the land acquisition and resettlement could satisfy the graduation of the task.”

It stays to be seen irrespective of whether and how the FIPC approvals from the Dumagat group, whose land the project will scar, will be secured.

“All of us incorporate most cancers cells in our bodies. Nevertheless not all of us will generate cancer.” So claims Dr David Servan-Schreiber, writer of Anti Cancer: A Refreshing Fashion of Daily life. This interesting ebook clarifies the scientific details driving cancer in clear and convincing tones.

Is there a cancer epidemic?

Servan-Schreiber describes a cancer epidemic influencing the wealthiest nations in the globe. Simply because A single940 the handful of cancers has boostd in all indusdemoised countries. This development has picked up considering that 19sevenfive and is particularly placing in the younger. In some European countries, this sort of as France, the cancer rate has larger by six0 percent in the previous 20 12 monthss. The occurrence of prostate cancer has risen by two hundred per cent in some European countries among 1978 and 2000, by 258 per cent in the USA over the exact same time. The argument that the increase is owing to early testing best to far more diagnoses will not hold h2o. The increase in cancers that usually are not automatically screened for is similarly striking if not more so, than individuals that are.

What is behind the increase in cancer?

In accordance to the all round director of the Planet Well being Organisation (WHO), “Up to eighty per cent of cancers may possibly be inspired by exterior reasons, which includes life style and the setting.” In particular, a few principal factors have replaced in our environment since World War Two:

1. The addition of large portions of hugely subtle sugar to our diet regime 2. Modifications in approaches of farming and increasing pets, and for that reason, in our meal 3. Publicity to a large number of chemical merchandise that did not exist prior to 1940.

The anti-cancer diet

Dr Servan-Schreiber advocates a diet well balanced in Omega 3 and Omega 6 oils, lower in animal protein and dairy, and high in clean (ideally organic) culmination and greens. The book will come with a useful searching guide which suggests various meals which battle the expansion of cancer in the physique.

Substances and cancer

Of system, what passions me most is the influence of the chemical compounds in our environment on the increase in cancer. Right here is an excerpt from the book: “WHO’s Worldwide Company for Studies on Cancer retains a checklist of carcinogenic (cancer-cautilizing) components in the environment. In the earlier 30 a long time, it has analyzed 900 possible culprits (a minor percentage of over a hundred,000 molecules revealed by industry since 1940, at a rate of several million tonnes a year). “Amongst these 900 products filed to the International Agency for Research on Cancer… only one has been recognised as non-carcinogenic.

Ninety-five have been identified as a ‘acknowledged carcinogen’ (i.e. there have been ample epidemiological scientific studies and animal look for to determine lead to and result). “3 hundred and seven are ‘possible’ or ‘achievable’ carcinogens. 4 hundred and 90-seven keep ‘unclassified’, which indicates they haven’t been adequately examined.” In a lot of instances, these substances continue to be commonly employed. Indeed, industrialists argue that customers are uncovered to very low degrees of such chemicals. Even so a trial of four hundred chemicals (a consultant pattern of seventy five,000 on the market place at the time) located that 5-10 per cent of these chemicals have been carcinogenic for human beings. 5 to ten per cent of 75,000 means we’re usually exposed to 3,750 – 7,five hundred carcinogens, which helps make it considerably less reassuring that every single one may be less than a poisonous dose, given that the complete toxicity then comes to 37 to to 75 moments the toxic dose in animals!

So what can we do to cover ourselves?

Rethink dry cleansing – Servan-Schreiber recommends stay away froming perchloroethylene and tetrachloroethylene in dry cleaning by airing out your dry cleaned apparel in fresh air for several several hours before putting on, or likely for soaked cleaning, liquid CO2 or silicon.

Stay away from aluminium – He tells us to avoid deodorants and antiperspirants that contains aluminium, specially for girls who shave their armpits as this facilitates the penetration of aluminium.

Avoid Phthalates by using normal cosmetics According to Servan-Schreiber, we need to avoid cosmetics, shampoo, creams, gels, hair dye, nail polish and sunscreen containing oestrogens, parabens or phthalates, and perfumes containing phthalates (virtually all of them do).

Consumption green loved ones cleaners – He extra warns towards chemical household pesticides and pesticides, heating plastic boxes manufactured with PVCs, making ready food in scratched Teflon pans and familiar cleaning products such as liquid detergents, disinfectants and lavatory-bowl sanitisers.

Conquer the chemical overload

To me, it’s blindingly apparent that the wide range of chemicals we plaster on ourselves and liberally use about our houses, with each other with the a great number of pesticides we are consuming, lead to the epidemic of cancer. It makes feeling to make distinct selections. Inexperienced, natural and organic pores and skin treatment and cosmetic products and household products are productive and gain our well being and that of the world around us. Servan-Schreiber himself endured from cancer which disappeared once surgical treatment and then reappeared. By modifying his lifestyle drastically, he controlled to defeat it. This book is fascinating reading through not only because of the clear, balanced and well-argued way the proof is supplied (as you’d assume from an eminent scientist and physician). It’s as well riveting because of the very own encounter the author refers to in the course of. I highly recommend it. You can pick up a duplicate at all major book merchants in Australia.

things mako mermaids got right that weren't featured in h2o:

a large supporting cast: by the time we get to season four numerous land people are aware of the existence of merpeople and are able to support them in hiding the secret. i understand why the h2o writers chose for the girls to only tell their boyfriends about their identities, and obviously budget constraints are a concern, but i think the extended family ensemble just works

older mermaids: this is only something small, but i like that we get to see slightly older mermaids like rita and veridia actually in their mermaid forms. it’s something that we didn’t get to see on h2o that i personally would have vibed with *shrug emoji*

some of the particulars of mermaid-ness like mermaids having beautiful hair, being terrified of cats, and having a penchant for seafood couldn't exist in h2o for obvious reasons, but i'm going to shout them out here since i think these were clever and creative choices on the part of the writers especially poseidon’s existence since i maintain that the only thing missing from h2o is cats and have assigned rikki an elder lady cat named gramps

characters's parents being told about their mermaid status: of course this is only something hinted at the end of season four. still it’s something i would have liked to see on h2o. i’m glad that zac’s parents eventually learned about his true identity and could presumably help him to navigate both worlds to which he belongs

land person-turned-mermaid losing their tail, but it's a good thing: in the og series the audience is meant to read gracie giving up her tail as a bad thing, since it caused her relationship with max and her friendships with the girls to end. charlotte losing her tail is not supposed to be a bad thing for the audience, but as a charlotte sympathizer it’s pretty heartbreaking to watch. evie’s admittedly half-hearted arc in gaining a tail and then losing it is quite refreshing in comparison. she is able to go back to her normal life and is no longer burdened with the secret when she finally accepts what has happened to her

mermen: the concept is yawn-inducing for me, but considering the amount of 'lewis/zane/ash/will become mermen' fic which circulates, i'm going to go ahead and say that introducing mermen was a good choice. dissenting opinions accepted at this time!

things mako mermaids got wrong that h2o also got wrong:

the stringent heterosexuality of every single character: i understand that we’re talking about kids’s shows which aired in the early 2000s, but must near every single character end up in a heterosexual union?

lack of racial and ethnic diversity: most of the characters in h2o are white, and the characters of colour are periphery at best. there is more diverse representation in mako mermaids but it isn’t always handled in the most, ahem, tactful way (e.g the whitewashing of mimmi, the miscasting of weilan, etc.)

misogynistic writing resulting in pointless female rivalries: see, for example, nixie and evie getting into a cat fight in early season one over a pair of shoes. that scene was written by a man, i just know it

characters that are not from australia having australian accents: i can kind of give h2o a pass for this one since bella (and will, now that i think of it) may have spent a good chunk of her childhood in aus and picked up the accent, but why does weilan, who has never set foot there until the final season, speak with an aussie twang? no seriously, if anyone has an explanation for this bar 'casting an actor to do a chinese accent would have been too much bother' i'm all ears!

the ever-evolving cast: why does no one who acts in the makoverse want to stick around for more than one season? half the supporting characters of h2o season one don't appear in season two, and half of those remaining characters don't appear in season three. it's worse on mako mermaids as the main trio of mermaids is constantly changing. how is the viewer supposed to get attached, let alone watch characters develop organically over a number of seasons, if the mains keep getting replaced?

things mako mermaids got wrong that h2o managed to get right:

the visual appeal of its magical jewellery: this one is entirely subjective, but i’m just going to say it: the moon rings are ugly. especially compared to the iconic h2o lockets. i suppose it could be argued that the lockets were designed by a human to blend in with the world of land people, while the moon rings are from the mermaid world so must appear more bright and fantastical. this doesn’t detract from the face that they are garish and artificial looking. also, if you're attempting to hide your mermaid identity on land, why wear a ring that has a mermaid on it? the mind boggles

mermaid tails: someone else made a more detailed post on this, but the mako tails suck, especially compared to its predecessor. they look weirdly discoloured, almost unfinished, don’t have the same dexterity, and are too light to the point of flimsiness. what i will say is that the silvery-blue merman tails are cool. still, if it ain't broke and all that

i don’t know how to summarise this point into a snappy sub-heading, but the way that each h2o mermaid has unique powers particular to them that just adds something to the world. not to mention the hand gestures! of course northern mermaids, eastern mermaids, and southern mermaids have different strengths, while individual mermaids may be proficient in different areas. it also makes sense that a large pod of mermaids would share the same powers, rather than having individual powers specific to them. still i think the elemental associations in the original series helped to round the characters out better, and it’s something i missed on mako mermaids

i don’t know where to include this bit, but the different aesthetics of the show lend themselves to two entirely different experiences. the visual aesthetic of mako mermaids is sharp and vibrant and colourful, with a higher production value. however as a zillennial there’s something comforting about the crappy production value of the og series and the muted tones used in the colouring

feel free to add!

#anyway i put like. very little thought into any of this analysis. so please feel free to nitpick #i wanted to include something about like. the h2o relationships being written better. but again that's kind of subjective and also nostalgi #goggles are a factor. but i think in a way h2o benefitted from having mostly the same mains and a shorter series since it makes the #relationships seem better and more sustained or whatever #also. why does nerissa have an australian accent when she's from the northern pod. #other things to consider are the way that the mako mermaids universe is much more expansive and like. lore-oriented. while the h2o girls #deal with a lot of 'everyday' mermaid shenanigans. in my dream season three scenario for h2o the girls find other pods of mermaids across #the globe. but again budgetary constraints are a thing and i like h2o's approach to dramedy writing so #if someone has that post on the differences between the tails handy hit me up! #.txt #h2o just add water #h2o #h2o: just add water #mako mermaids #queue
