Yes I'm with you that much of the world still believes in good and evil. But... as I am healing trauma and have prior experience in the "spiritual seeking", it has become clear to me that the mechanism of dissociation is key

> I don't believe in free will, to a large extent, and this doesn't stop me from trying to do good. So, you believe in free will.

As Ramesh Balsekar once said "as long as you believe you have free will, then live your life as if it's true" (otherwise "no freewill" is just a belief and it's doing more harm then good)

Same here. More specifically, I keep my general browsing history , and YouTube history more relevant by opening random / "lol" content in a private tab. That way the omnibar suggestions show me content that I'm more like

Firefox's private browsing lets you restore closed tabs, unline Chrome, which is a small but noticable improvement for me.

Interesting thanks. Is there an example in there of how you'd go about to create a basic bundle with the css/js frameworks, and then create additional bundles which depend on the first one, but do not include it? It's an issu

Yeah this isn't the same at all. For example I don't know how to add a custom search like: http://www.stopforumspam.com/ipcheck/%s When I add a search via right clicking the search box on that site it doesn&#

The omnibar is less convenient than Google Chrome: it appears that pressing DELETE does not actually remove a search suggestion from History. Instead it seems to be ranked down. This is not useful, there should be a way to completely remove

Isn't that turned off when you disable "search suggestions"? I don't like search suggestions even in Chrome. I find it makes the omnibar less useful. The omnibar was the game changer for me when Chrome did it. I never ha

Is it possible in Firefox to remember the "pinned" state of a tab matching a bookmark when it is closed? It' be awesome if some of my bookmarks always open in a pinned state. Examples: rain.today (white noise). ... But I don&

I see, thanks. It seems the flexibility of entering a custom URL with the %s in it for the search term is lost.

1) Is it possible to change the shortcut for Private window to CTRL Shift N somehow like in Chrome? (instead of Ctrl Shift P). (I like that I could use that shortcut with my left hand (albeit with some nice thumb extension action).) 2) Any

On Windows 10, am I dreaming or the font smoothing looks a tiny bit different (from Google Chrome)? I kinda like it, small text looks a bit stronger and smoother à-la OS X.

Front end dev here. The main issue I have for now is that whenever I hit CTRL Shift C to open the console, you can clearly see the thing draw itself for nearly one full second. It would be fine if it somehow cached, but if you close it and

I'm sure he believes his own jibbi jabba. This is what happens when you have to rationalize everything you do for money, on a consistent basis. There is a high price to pay for that, and he must be dissociated from himself at some leve

You know... I also had a hunch Google "profiles" me from my searches and because of that, seemingly returns better results. But now we are back at the greater discussion... the feeling that your searches happen within a bubble. Th

My bad. I could swear it was removed at some point but I can't find articles. A quick test reveals maybe the change is that you can't do an exact "ascii" search, ie. google searches for an exact sequence of words, but th

Even putting politics & world events aside, Google Search doesn't seem to get better. For me the biggest disappointment is when they turned off the ability to search for "an exact match within quotes", as well as the abil

The term "free money" is a silly put down term designed to close a discussion before it even started. Nothing is free. Money comes from somewhere, and it goes somewhere. Even if this money did not end up creating more jobs, or red

Your analogy barely applies to the iPhone / iPad situation. You're talking about APIs accross many generations of an OS, while I'm talking about apps for the same , current OS not supporting different layouts. edit: rewording

In general yoga is always great. The quality really depends on the teacher however. I had a teacher of Iyengar style who was somewhat strict in his approach. His heart was in the right place but he was too focused on "correct" pos

Yes I am well aware of Reich and Lowen. As I am in therapy for trauma I have concluded after many experiments that bioenergetics is not complete, and in case of trauma is not very helpful. The way to heal trauma is to create a safe environm
