Most of the liberals on here just want to be back at brunch. So those are the feelings you’re getting.
Personally, her hypocrisy over weed means little to me compared to the children she’s planning to help murder.
And, I’ll still vote for her because more children will die from climate change under Trump.
I’m voting against worsening climate change. Outside of that they’re both neo liberal shitheads.
So you won’t vote for someone supported by Nazis but will vote for someone supporting Nazis.
I guess hypocricy really doesn’t matter.
I did a Behavior Activation Therapy course and we used a tool similar to what you posted in the OP.
Only we listed a few activities along with how difficult we thought it would be. Each morning we would reflect on the activities we got done and write down how difficult they actually ended up (sometimes more or less). And make a new list.
The process helped me to challenge a lot of thoughts and emotions around activities.
Corporations are inherently evil.
More and more people are using speech to text. And it does show how differently people speak than write (apparently I never say my be in because, for example).
But it also means that llms aren’t only being fed text, but also speech converted into text.
This is more like her insisting you not eat cashews, because she hates cashews.
Only in this case her hate is homophobic/transphobic. Women can wear boy stuff. And men can, in theory, wear ‘queer’ stuff. As long as it’s not her partner doing it.
So, left equals centrist I see.
Yeah I’m not a fan of it lol. Thanks though.
How does it check for bias? Because pink news isn’t left on trans issues. Yet it ranks as left with high credibility.
As well as revealing epigenetics. Which killed the nature/nurture shit.
In older mice the best telomere therapies are increasing lifespan by ~15%. Max human lifespan is currently ~120. So, if those same therapies work on old billionaires they still wouldn’t live past 150.
Models for extending life in young mice and mice zygotes hit around ~25%.
200 isn’t within our grasp currently. 150 is if the animal models work on humans. But the treatments work better the younger the animal. Working best on embryos.
Tldr: It’s unlikely today’s billionaires will live past 150 without a breakthrough in telomere research.
I was going to say a frog since they can change sex.
But jellyfish can apparently change sex and be immortal, so, I change my answer to the immortal jellyfish too.
XY people AFAB have a genetic condition that makes their bodies insensitive to testosterone. Their testicles never drop. They don’t develop body hair or menstrate.
And they have more trouble than XX women developing muscle mass.
None of this has anything to do with the Olympics because Fox News is making shit up.
Some animals do have language and animals that are around people a lot likely have an inner voice that is their owner’s voice.
They likely don’t plan using this voice, the way people do. But it certainly influences their behavior.
A dog that’s been yelled at for getting in the garbage might hear a no in their head even if their owners at work.
I’m sure it depends on the animal. In fact humans think in at least two inner voices.
The ear consciousness is receptive, and the speech consciousness is active.
What I mean by this is a dog or another animal that spends a lot of time with people likely has a passive inner voice of their owner. A dog might hear an owner yell no when they go to do something the owner doesn’t like, even if their owner isn’t around.
Animals that are capable of speech such as a parrot, will likely have an active speech consciousness. Which is more somatic in tone.
For example, when I am in active speech consciousness I can feel my jaw and tongue muscles move. When in passive listening consciousness, my ears might move or strain to try to hear the inner speech.
With practice these somatic sensations can be decoupled from their internal sense consciousnesses. Which tends to help them quiet down and deepen meditation.
This is one of my favorite practices that’s accessible for people who don’t really meditate. The guided meditation is the first fifteen minutes of the video, so you don’t have to listen for the whole hour to get an inkling of what I’m pointing at.
Also an experienced meditator.
Not everyone thinks in words. Some people think in pictures. Or in other sense consciousnesses. As an experienced cook, I can think in taste and smell without any auditory component of ‘what should I put in this dish’. For example.
As for word thinking, passive thoughts are more auditory and active thoughts more somatic (throat and jaw muscles will move). These can be decoupled from the sense of I making, especially passive thoughts.
At which point you get thoughts think themselves, to quote Jack Kornfield. A sort of bubbling up of passive thoughts in voices that aren’t mine.
It’s likely animals that live close to people experience this. The owners voice yelling no when they do something the owner wouldn’t like, even if the owner isn’t around.
Anyway, trying to not think can be like holding your breath. I can do that for awhile. But it’s not right effort. Letting thoughts settle, like sand in a glass of water. And letting go of the sense of I making. The mind will rest quite naturally. That’s calm abiding.
In other words, it’s attachment to the inner voice that’s making it difficult for you to imagine that a lot of people think in pictures or other ways. And noticing this sense of attachment in your practice with the intention of letting it go, might deepen your insight into yourself and what others may or may not experience.
Edit: this listening meditation is helpful for me in letting go of attachment to the inner voice. As is annapanasati, especially the third tetrad.
I appreciate the heads-up. I’m actually a Buddhist, so not really looking for a new religion. I mostly admire the work TST has done for religious pluralism.
I watched Hail Satan? They went into some of the schisms in the TST, but it was framed as the chapter head not following the principles and damaging TST’s overall goals (encouraging people to kill Trump). Are there other examples? I’m curious, but not curious enough to go on reddit.
There’s pretty big burns in most countries. But yeah, not sure on China. Would be one of the last places I would expect to find one.
So, you’re saying conscription is always wrong? I’m certainly more okay with that then the idea that the poors should die to protect countries.
