ikr signing into my slrpnk.net account was like going to an old home I hadn’t been in for a while.

not comment-op, but often community centers, gyms, and yoga studios have meditation sessions. google maps can help you out. There are a lot of different types of meditation out there fwiw.

There’s all different kinds of meditation tho… If I try to “let it out” I tend to spiral, so for cases like that there are practices that help you redirect the thoughts. In other practices yes, you do confront them, often checking in for guidance by someone experienced. In other practices you try to think about them without any “ego / identity”. etc.

My last words will be: “Is this Loss?”

The idea is what is key in comedy.

Dunno… execution is pretty important too…

I totally forgot about it til I saw this here. There’s no 50501 event near me, luckily there’s an Indivisible activity I’m gonna try to get to.

I enjoyed reading John Keegan’s “The Face of Battle” bc among other things it talked about 3 different battles as they must have been experienced by the common soldier. iirc the night before Waterloo they slept in wet fields and ofc didn’t have time to change, before Agincourt they likely had to “relieve themselves” right where they stood and many had diarrhea (and some couldn’t even take off their armor to do so!) soldiers were often hungry and thirsty and exhausted, etc.

When I was a kid and I was trying to get to sleep, I’d close my eyes and remember all the different bedroom layouts I’d lived in. Like in one place the wall was to the left and top and the door was down by the foot of the bed. In another place the wall was just to the top and the window was to the left and down. In another place the wall was just to the top and the door was to the top and left. etc.

I learned a really valuable lesson in first grade. My friend Daniele had a really nice belt-buckle, but he was wearing it upside-down. I was like: Daniele, why is your belt-buckle upside-down? And he was like: so when I look down, I can turn it up and look at it.

Daniele was a pretty wise kid.

This actress is only in like 1-2 scenes. It’s mostly a Rodney Dangerfield vehicle. A pretty good one imho. It’s got a young Robert Downey jr as a supporting character and a great scene with Sam Kinison: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=k9DO26O6dIg

I want some escapism for fuck sake.

You may want to try subscribing to non-political communities, and then browsing by subscribe. For example, here’s a list of communities I subscribe to for when I don’t want to read about politics:

Back to School - Marge Takes Notes scene.

Sounds interesting. Glad those topics are still being investigated. So important to remember that even those neural methods labored for decades in the shadows before they finally found the answers they needed.
