I really really could not disagree more. My anxiety attacks were much more about getting stuck in vivid loops thinking about really bad situations happening, literally anything like someone calling or knocking at the door. I know it isn&#x2

Further, as much as cannabis advocates may try and argue against it, there's much more chance of having a scary or frightening experience getting high than there is from alcohol. In my experience, even a small amount of weed can trigge

I'm a physicist, and personally have very little interest in philosophy. I haven't read really any philosophy at all EDIT: actually that is false, I have read a lot of eastern philosophy, but that to me is more of a religious thin

Yeah same in some fields of Physics, for example all theoretical stuff, along with most optical or optomechanical stuff is always on the arXiv, however for example some obscure paper on seismic noise might only be in some very expensive jou

Nevermind it's just Nature communications which is open access, I think the others require a fee

Well APS opened a new open access journal PRX which is more prestigious even than PRL, so I don't think that's the problem. Also Nature, which is like, the most prestigious, is also open access...

This is completely incomprehensible

Just encourage people to upload their paper to an open access archive like arXiv first. Very few journals disallow this, it's just that authors are either too lazy or just don't want to make their paper publicly available.

Yep, the mac performance got so bad that I was forced to buy Affinity Designer, which is just a much better experience anyway.

It's sad but at least on days where I'm that busy I don't have time to feel down or demotivated. Literally the pace and busy-ness forces me to remain focussed. I end up feeling depressed and deflated if I have room to breath.

No, that is a popular misunderstanding of it. Watching is watching, watching while walking is not being mindful, you are being mindless if you are doing that, since you are removed from the situation. Mindfulness is simply knowing that you

"self-realisation" has nothing to do with enlightenment in a Buddhist sense. I understand it is tempting to subsume all religious experiences into one super-experience, but they really are qualitatively different: in Buddhism it i

No, I stated that every person I personally know who voted for Brexit did so primarily based on lies. It is strange that you cannot understand the difference.

Then they are not enlightened in the sense meant in Buddhism, that is, they have not attained Arhatship nor become awakened Bodhisattvas nor Buddhas. They haven't extinguished the causes for rebirth, and are still bound to the samsaric

I don't think so personally. I see it based on what I know versus what they know. I know about my reality, whereas they want to believe something different about my reality. I'm not saying they want to believe something about thei

Nice. TikTok is very fast paced. For me it has done so many oscillations between "this is very interesting stuff" to "it is trash now, it used to be good" that it's kind of making a fool of me. Not the usual slow do

> when people don’t have capacity to buy any more. I'm confused, can't they just fill up jerry cans, or if garages aren't allowing this, just siphon the fuel out of the car at home?

What do you mean by that? They can fill jerry cans or siphon out fuel at home

As a Brit, I think "slightly lied to" is a huge under-exaggeration. Literally everyone I spoke to who voted for Brexit did so entirely on the lies, for example the NHS money thing, specific claims about removing "foreigners&q

No, it is not, it's the Buddha's definition of mindfulness, that a monk knows exactly without confusion when he is walking, knows when he is sleeping, knows when he is eating, etc. It's easy to look it up in the suttas. Sayin

I honestly think it's quite dangerous in a secular context. Mindfulness can be, for some, like literally taking psychedelics, but except you are sober and there is no guarantee that you will ever come down. I know many people who have

The Buddha taught of those who are deluded and thus content with samsara as it is, which is the category you fall into. It could be because you have a good rebirth, and thus have not experienced enough significant suffering to feel the need

No. Mindfulness is "thinking when thinking, walking when walking, shitting when shitting".

People were saying it was littered with double spaces and typos, rather than just a few instances, which is just incorrect
