Reminded me that there’s a movie on Netflix about Baggio, a famous soccer / football player from Italy who was proudly Buddhist. Yet “Ball sports” are on the list of games not to be played by disciples of Buddhism. I’ve only seen prais

A few suggestions for you: 1) Write, draw or both. Any form of self-expression helps to clear or release stuck memories. You can set a timer or just continue until you feel complete. Sometimes just even writing down words describing your em

Every sentence in the article is dripping with skepticism, those quips just put it over the top unnecessarily. The tone puts attention on the author, when the story is profound enough and makes a better focal point.

What’s crazy is that for $10-15k you can have a really professional looking website, instead it looks like they dropped about $2-5k for a half-built, broken looking one.

Amazing article and great persistence and research. Can’t wait to hear how it ends. My only gripe is the writing style, which I’ve started seeing on major news sources that reads more like stream of consciousness or friend to friend rather

What I meant is that heart disease is largely avoidable for most people through relatively simple / nearly free solutions like good diet and exercise, yet it’s still pervasive as OC pointed out. I guess “poor decision making” was a mis

You’re right, social distancing is no more realistic for many people than maintaining a healthy diet and exercise routine. My point is that we have tools to stop these diseases, we just view using these tools as worse than getting the disea

You could go down the rabbit hole and say that misinformation, poor decision making, logical fallacies, mental health issues, etc. are the actual catalysts. My point is that COVID and heart disease are largely preventable at an individual l

I think Disney is hoping it’ll drive people to sign up for Disney+ which cuts out the middleman at the cost of not being able to channel surf but instead opening an app.

Compared to 2015? Yeah our technology is better, our shared knowledge is increasing, population is increasing, etc. In a collapse, I’d expect to see near 0 investment in new technology with more energy going into basic survival and trying t
