Ever wake up in a panic because you don't recognize where you are even though you're home in your own bed but in your dream you were somewhere else?

Examine yourself thus
from every side.
Note harmful thoughts
and every futile striving.
Thus it is that heroes

Apply the remedies
to keep a steady mind.

“In a calm moment, his obsessive thoughts and compulsive behaviors could be relaxed, even released. The world wasn’t the problem, he could see: thinking about it the wrong way was the problem. String enough calm moments together, and it’s possible to achieve something like a life.”

Ohio pastor reveals he’s had 2 wives for 3 years: Having only 1 wife is 'unbiblical'
Even though polygyny, the practice of having more than one wife, is illegal in America, Pastor Israel Ford, who co-founded LifeWorks Church in Cleveland, Ohio, with his wife, Lydia Ford, in 2009, told his congregation on Sunday that he has been living with two wives for the past three years and that God endorses it.

When picking your hardware for Linux, which best describes your thoughts on linux drivers?
King Charles is visiting Guyana this week. That’s triggered a pile of thoughts about history, ordinary people and, well, I’ve linked it to my book, Choochwai.
“Many a book-snob gon decide it ain’t high-politics or Shakespeare therefore it ain’t have no worth. Yet these same people reading high-falutin’ stories would treasure archeology-articles about unimportant people the experts have dug up, and would be insanely curious…”
I'm at 72% of #DuneMessiah and I'm kind of impressed by how this book hooks me even though most of it is very ominous and puzzling dialogue. I don't know what it is but it just feels like each sentence carries so much weight and the thrill of how it'll unfold has me curious to reach its conclusion

Oooh! Happy for you! 😃👍
I thought about going to #Taiwan and rent a #bike, and ride around Sun Moon Lake!
That was about 2 years ago. Planning paralysis. 🙄 Still haven't gotten myself to go...
Now with the tension between Taiwan and that big bully (same bully that's bullying our country and claiming an island that was never theirs)... Will there ever be a good time to go? 😕 #tourism
Shortly after, I arrive at what used to be my home though it isn’t anymore. I go inside anyway and look around. What do I want to keep? What can go? Honestly, everything could go, in either direction. But that’s not really an option, so I quickly sit down at the computer to check my account balance. Between that and the business account, there’s nearly seventy grand, but I can’t touch any of it. Only twelve of them are mine.
I saw a drone suddenly descend towards me. My heart started pounding and I thought, ‘Is this the end of my life?’

1. More of Ayesha. Though I see problems with how I'm playing and started to worry about the game's time limit. :blobfox0_0:
2. The new villainess type anime where the isekai'ed woman is into fossils is fun and I wish there were more than the first few episodes available.
3. Learned about some medical issues in my family, which I see as a good thing - it might be good to know by my GP, I guess.

On the *S/she smiled.* bit. It depends what you mean to write imo (though, only as a reader here, so what do I know).
*”Sure.” She smiled*. — I read that (the full stop) as an implied *pause* after speaking, casting doubt on the character’s answer. Whereas:
*”Sure,” she smiled* — I read as the character saying *Sure* and smiling as a continuum (read in the comma) and a confirmation of intent.
Does any of that makes sense to you? Anyone?

I have a research paper but I read it and was like I would prison if released xD I can do it though in lab. I think the data can't be shared

it's a psychological hack
if we suffer the illusion we are somehow apart from society (even though we live in a fucking country and of course the fucking govt affects you) then we can entertain self-serving, self-destructive notions of "protesting" by withholding our participation
the reality of course is much money is spent studying this effect and amplifying it to suppress the left #vote and advance #fascism
