  6. @mrcippy I am really torn because as a young person I worked consistently at a lot of very low wage jobs. But there has to be some kind of social contract, something fair. And if tips are meant to replace a living wage, well honestly, I'm just going to be #ascetic and go to the grocery store for some bread and peanut butter, maybe just a carton of buttermilk. Both things I like anyway! You just have to check out of a bad system when it goes too awful. And I am, for four years at least.

  26. Dear Friends of slight pain,

    Latest #podcast of using slight #discomfort to #focus the #mind back into #attentive #awareness

    audio.com/lobster/audio/asceti

    The speaker discusses #ascetic #practice, which involves deprivation or slight pain. They describe two methods: one involves sharpening fingernails and pressing them into the hand as a #reminder, and the other involves squeezing a #mala bead or coin to bring attention back to the present moment. These methods aim to bring #awareness and relaxation. The speaker also mentions using a #meditation #bell as a reminder. These practices are simple but #effective in #refocusing attention.

    «««««
    ABSTAINER, n. A weak person who yields to the temptation of denying himself a pleasure. A Total Abstainer is one who abstains from everything, but abstention, and especially from inactivity in the affairs of others.

    Well for #ascetic reasons I don't #listen to much musac … but I enjoyed the smell and power of #natures aunty biotic …

    If you have bottles of #essential oils, open and sniff. so much of the evocation and they last so long this way …

    Smell can change the moody. Sedate the memo rawry and cut the cheese.

    Some say viour it is our eldest sense gate. Any #herbs or #spices? Go snorting ye lithe truffle piggies …

    Who knows the nose?
