Ram Bomjon is a 16-year-old boy born and living in the village of Ratnapur who allegedly is in the process of transforming into the next incarnation of the Buddha. It has been claimed that the so-called “Buddha Boy” has been sitting under a pipal tree in uninterrupted meditation since May of 2005. According to the set of people who surround and control access to Ram Bomjon, he asserted just before sitting down that he was entering into a six-year meditative state in order to attain enlightenment, a la the original Buddha Siddhartha Gautama. According to the same set of people who surround and control access to Bomjon, he:
- has not stirred from his meditation since May 2005,
- has had nothing to eat since May 2005,
- has continued meditating even after being bitten by a snake,
- and has caused two mute people in proximity to him to begin to speak.
The lack of skepticism from the thousands of people re-blogging this is disgusting. If a man could go YEARS without eating, it would be making every medical publication, it would be in every newspaper, on every news station. Who are these formerly mute people? Have they been interviewed? Do we have names and addresses? Do we have medical documentation that they could not physically speak before their encounter with this man?
Garrett Hedlund as Finnick Odair
Armie Hammer as Finnick Odair
Taylor Kitsch as Finnick Odair
Alex Pettyfer as Finnick Odair
White People as Finnick Odair
No no no no no.
The correct white man to play Finnick Odair is TOM HANKS.
Now I understand why people used to wait until they were married to move in together.
Starting a home from scratch without wedding presents sucks.
YOU ARE TOO GOOD TO BE TRUE!!!
Jesus, did you have to remind us, today of all days, just how awesome you are, dude?
THIS is why we love Benedict Cumberbatch.wow. these notes.

SOBBING FROM THE HUMANITY OF IT ALL

HE’S LIKE MOTHER THERESA OR SOMETHING
No, if he was like Mother Theresa he’d be shoving fans into shitty “homes for the dying” so they can lay together on thin mats in horrible conditions while he jacks off to their suffering.

Oppression Olympics.
It’s like a bunch of people on Tumblr just sit around and argue about who is more oppressed, as if it’s something desirable.
“Yeah, but I’m an atheist!”
“Yeah, but I’m an atheist AND I’m female!”
Stop it, I implore you. Oppression isn’t just…
i really need some help right now, i think i should call a depression hotline, but i’ve never done it before and i feel really nervous for some reason :( my partner’s given up trying to help me, he doesn’t know what to do or say anymore. i don’t know what to do or say anymore.
i..don’t even…
Anti-depressants turned my life around. Let me know if you have any questions about my experiences with them.
I’m glad to hear that! :) Yeah I’ve been on Efexor-Xr (I’ve always called it venelafaxine? or something?) for a few years now. I tried Fluoxetine early on but it didn’t seem to help. Maybe I should talk to my psychiatrist about upping my dose? I’m not sure. I definitely am more vulnerable when I miss a tablet, I notice that even before I realise I’ve missed one. My other life-saver has been my 1mg melatonin tablets, which get me off to sleep within 30min.
Thanks for the offer, returntothestars. :)Ah, I assumed you were un-medicated. Sounds like you’re as, if not more, knowledgeable than I am. But hey, we’re on the same med! Med buddies!
Oh, also:
According to the University of Maryland Medical Center, in animal studies, melatonin supplementation reduced the effectiveness of SSRIs. It is not known if this animal studies apply to people. Additionally, since SSRIs can cause an increase in your body’s melatonin levels, taking additional melatonin at the same time could cause excessive drowsiness. You should inform your doctor of all supplements you currently take, including melatonin.

Melatonin may interact with medications that inhibit serotonin reuptake including a number of antidepressant medications (SSRIs, tricyclic antidepressants, venlafaxine, etc). Use melatonin with caution if taking antidepressants.

My meds dont seem to be working as well as they were before.
Im noticing little things that are clearly symptoms of depression and im not sure what to do.
I’ve been loosing interest in the things i love to do, I lack energy, i lack motivation, my house is getting really messy and i have no urge…
Your primary doctor should be able to help. I’ve been on anti-depressants for over a year and not once seen a psychiatrist. It was all through my primary.

News-flash
Smoking weed and listening to Bob Marley doesn’t make you Rasta. Stop it.
Exactly. Worshiping former Ethiopian emperor Haile Selassie I as the reincarnation of Jesus makes you Rasta.
