Know how I know they don’t have proper training.

Dude sprayed that shit with the wind to his face.

I’ve been wondering about this, how does hiding the activity from your ISP, as well as the ISP of the person streaming from your server, work?

I have friends I’d like to share my library with but am always nervous about the risk.

It was canceled because it was bad.

Qimir was great and I think the big lightsaber fight is some of the best in live action star wars.

However, the story is horribly under developed and is full of nepotism. I don’t care that the setting is a lesbian witch commune, I do care that the showrunner hired her wife, who’s acting is so bad, I spent the first scenes she’s in wondering how she got the job.

The trailers hyped Carrie-Anne Moss and positioned the show almost as a star war version of The Matrix type action, only to kill her character almost immediately.

Sol is incredibly creepy.

I don’t like the description the other person commented about what meditation is because it makes no sense to me whenever I read it, so here’s my take:

You can’t stop yourself from thinking, that’s not what meditation is, imagine telling people you don’t walk because you can’t run a marathon. Meditation is training is to slowly teach yourself when you’re having a thought and think about it objectively. How does it do that? By asking you to do one thing: sit. Sit down and when your thought comes you’re going to get involved with it, it will take you down a rabbit hole. At some point, however, you’re going to REALIZE you’re deep in the thought. That realization is the first step. Once you’ve REALIZED you’re in the thought you just sit again. Take a few deep breaths, feel what your stomach feels while you breath in and out. Now another thought shows up and you start going with it. You ride that thought for a few minutes and then REALIZE you’re thinking, you took another step.

The marathon is being able to do this every moment of your daily life, that’s a tall ask that’s not really achievable to most people.

What is achievable, to stick with the metaphor, is a few miles everyday. Right now anxiety hits you over some situation and you go through every doomsday scenario in your head, causing you more anxiety and stress. Building up a meditation habit puts a space between the thing that triggered your anxiety and the spiral of thoughts so you can use that space to analyze the anxiety and not let it take you over.

Imagine you have a problem, you tell your friend your problem, your friend flips out and gives you some insane answer that isn’t helpful. You tell your friend that answer is ridiculous and your friend stops acting on emotion and starts giving you real problem solving help.

The friend is your brain, telling your friend the answer is ridiculous is the meditation doing the work in the real world.

World War 3 isn’t the answer, not with the biggest players in the defense industry being US based.

If the change in power were due to military power, the EU would have to switch to not relying on the US…which is what they’re starting to do!

A more reasonable scenario would be financial: the world deciding to not use the US dollar as the currency standard and start cashing in the US debt.

This is something he learned from Elon.

Roadster pre-orders was nothing more than an interest free loan.

I’m in the same boat, have a 2012, can’t even get through the instructions.

No one has really answered the question yet, so here it is:

It’s generational. They’re using the tools to cope they were given by their parents, their parents before them, and so on.

People taking mental health more seriously is breaking that cycle but it is hard for parents to go against how they were taught to react. As kids, they were told to take their trauma and shove it down, get over it, and don’t talk about it. They made it through their young adult years so they think this must be good advice. However, they fail to recognize their own trauma they’ve been carrying around for 30 years.

My parents made some huge mistakes when I was growing up but I don’t blame them, I say they the did the best they could with the tools they were given and I believe that. If I believed they didn’t do their best then the things they did wrong would be nefarious and that would be evil. My parents aren’t evil people, one was raised by a hard ass alcoholic. They were shaped by that dysfunction.

They need to know you’re struggling but they need to hear it in a way they understand. If you’re in school, talk to a counselor and see what resources are available to you. If you have a job, see if they have an employee assistance program (EAP), HR will know.

Good luck.

Reminds me of something…

The gold bar is a nice touch

They’re eating, THEY’RE EATING THE LEAD.

Apple pisses me off. I have a 2012 MacBook Pro that could have continued to be supported, Apple just decided it wasn’t in their best interest to continue supporting it and if I want to continue I’ll just have to buy a new one!

My MacBook is on MacOS 13 thanks to open core legacy.

No, I’m a simple end user that takes what I’m given and uses terminal only when there’s a necessity.

I have a Chromebook running Fedora, COSMIC is the only modern DE that runs smoothly on it.

The only downside is not all of the trackpad gestures worked in Fedora that are available in Pop_OS!

Has there been any word on if all of the gestures will be supported or will that be exclusive to Pop_OS!?

Thank you!

I watched her Star Wars cruise line one a while ago and really enjoyed it. I don’t understand why they just don’t turn that into a hotel.

Nobody hates Star Wars more than a Star Wars fan.

The sequels had such a good opportunity but wasted it with over correcting.

I really enjoyed the point in Episode 8 that Rey was unimportant, I thought it could have opened up the whole universe. Instead we had to be angry about everything and the on the nose fan service in Episode 9 went way too far the other direction.
