Norrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr!!!

I really wish people would differentiate between “social media” and “corporate owned algorithmic social media” because there’s a huge difference.

That first sentence makes my brain itch. So many grammatical errors. I can’t tell if she’s happy or not?

Gee what a COINCIDENCE that they release this right after people dropped their subscriptions. That’s not manipulative at all! 🙄

Must resist adding a Star Fleet badge to his shirt… Must… Resist…

I’m convinced session three was produced by theater kids.

For the last year and a half. I started with Transcendental meditation. Then Vipasana in January and right not I’m learning Zen from “The Way” meditation app by Zen master and poet Henry Shukman. It’s actually very good and instructional. He’s created a series of paths that teach you step by step not only how to meditate but also how to expand awareness.

The first 12 are free and then there’s a monthly subscription. If you don’t have the money you can tell them and they will offer a much lower yearly discount or give it to you for free.

I highly recommend it.

The sourness that you taste in store-bought sour bread is usually from some type of acidic acid that they add to it. Baking sourdough at home and getting that sour taste is more or less like playing the lottery. To get that sour flavor, you need to have consistently specific temperatures in your kitchen, in your oven, etc. It’s not easy to do. I stopped worrying about that long ago. As long as the bread taste good, that’s all that really matters.

Honestly, it looks fine. The real question is, how does it taste?

The fact that people in this thread are bitching at each other and calling each other names over how they approach meditation is sad. Over the last year I have practiced Transcendental Meditation, Samitha, Vipassina, and I am now working on Zazen. I practice for two hours each day. Once in the morning and once in the late afternoon.

From all of them the one thing I have taken away is an increase in empathy and compassion. By calming the mind and noticing the impermanence of thought and coming to the realization that the majority of people suffer from their thoughts which they have little control over, I was able to extend compassion and widen my capacity for empathy. So I don’t understand the vitriol being tossed around by those professing to know what meditation “really is”.

If someone is saying that they meditate and it’s as good as drugs for them, then who am I to judge? If someone says that they meditate and it’s not as good as drugs, who am I to judge? If someone says that they meditate and that it doesn’t increase their capacity for empathy and compassion, again, who am I to judge?

There is a Zen saying… "Practice like a blind person in a dark room.” I encourage everyone to meditate on this informal Koan.

I don’t even care anymore.

I love GTAV and play Online almost everyday. But this bullshit about delays and more delays every year is just annoying as hell. How many years have they had to get this right?

I’m reminded of the quote “Don’t let perfect get in the way of good.” and I’m beginning to wonder if that’s what’s going on here? Are they delaying a good game because it’s not “perfect” or are they just so incompetent that they have to keep going back to “fix” things???

And watch, when it does come out it’ll be buggy as hell. Everyone will be asking “You’ve had all of this time. Why are there so many bugs?” and Rockstar will just shrug their shoulders all of the way to the bank.

Why does it look like it’s wearing a track suit?

People still use Email???

Oscar the Grouch from Sesame Street.

ha! Jokes on you. I paid for the TV.

oh, fuck no.

Sesame Street.
We get it. Burt and Ernie are just “friends”. Oscar is a “grouch” because people treat his home like trash. Big Bird in an unhomed youth forced to sleep in an alley on some twigs that he uses for a bed. It’s a damn soap opera.

I mean, come on.

OK that hit home closer then I’d like.

Was the $100 price ever confirmed? I thought it was just rumored?
