Just don’t try to avoid it or look for distractions. Pain, discomfort, sadness, all the negative emotions are still part of the human experience, those do serve a purpose.
Just experience it, sit with it, eventually the brain gets used to it and stops looking for distractions from it. Kinda like exposure therapy.
Of course it’s easier said than done.
I don’t. I embrace it, learn from it, beat myself up for it and try to do better.
Pretty much, actual sunglasses would need to be even stronger, especially during summer or clear winter day with snow.
It’s one of those things that’s too subjective and heavily depends on a person.
I know a person who got lasik just because she hated glasses. I, myself completely avoided wearing glasses as long as possible and still do if not necessary aka i don’t need to see clearly further than a meter. But at the same time i go around wearing sunglasses almost every time I’m out and it’s just daytime.
I know people who wear fake glasses just because they like how it makes them look.
I actually do mostly agree on both points.
While i do support transhumanism. i can see the negative side of any implants coming from Elon(or any current techbros), security, compatibility, long term support, minimal medical testing.
The hope is that eventually replacement body parts coming from medical field with rigours safety features and testing become widely available. That will likely take decades or even lifetimes and i might not even see becoming a half mechanical cyborg during my lifetime.
Cooking is most definitely useful skill, no argument about that and it does play into efficiency by being cheaper (per meal basis) and it is easier to cook up a balanced meal from raw ingredients instead of trying to find a good ready made meal from the store. In addition the health aspect as well, a somewhat balanced meal cooked out of raw ingredients is likely going to be better for the body than ready made meals, obviously cooking methods do matter and in moderation.
The art and celebration part is too subjective and flys over my head completely. It’s just food, do we celebrate plugging in a charger on our phones? is refueling the car an art form? No, neither is day to day eating, it’s just refueling the body.
Though obviously there are people who do consider food an art and that’s why this is a slightly controversial opinion.
Heavily depends on the subject. Of course trying my best to be reasonable person, then many opinions can change over time due to new information or perspectives. So if you specify a subject, i can give my perspective on it and feel free to counter it, as it’s rather useful in testing out and refining opinions/perspective.
In general, live and let live(with some exclusions), just try not to make the surrounding area worse than i found it. Sometimes it’s even possible to leave it slightly better than i found it. Similar applies to people, while i might be an asshole(ASD, social difficulties) with a fucked up sense of humor, i do try to be helpful and try not to be purposefully malicious(abuse/take advantage/hurt) towards other people.
Some of the more controversial ones: Supporting transhumanism, leaning towards cybernetic augmentation of the human body, but as trans people fall under the same umbrella they get my support as well.
Regarding food: food is just fuel. There’s minimal emotional component to it. Daily eating is just another chore to maintain this biological meatsuit. Efficiency to get in a somewhat a balanced meal is the primary concern.
Not only sugar, alcohol itself has significant amounts of calories.
Same, but with beer. Lost nearly 15kg+ in a year without even trying.
Because TV is boring as hell most of the times and majority of it is ads which cant be blocked.
At least with phone i have to move my thumbs or put a little taught into how to express myself.
Standard TV is just a complete mind numbing existence. It’s pretty much equal to just being in a coma. Even sleeping is better, at least the body is recovering at that time. Standard TV is one of the worst ways to consume data garbage.
Of course there are good movies and documentaries, but those are a minority.
DR. Layne Norton, mostly for interpreting different studies better and pointing out the misinformation and what’s wrong with what some of the influencers say.
Ben Carpenter for the positive mental health side of dieting.
I’d add in Sean Nalewanyj and Fazlifts for the lifting/training side as well, because dieting and training go hand in hand, everyone should do it and it’s filled with as much misinformation as nutrition space.
Like the Smaug or any dragon from myths. Constantly hoarding new music regardless of how much there already is.
While there is the baseline collection(taste) which has remained the same since teenage years, though with less shame nowadays. The collection is constantly expanding. Maybe the only commonality is leaning towards fast paced, but there are exceptions of some odd ambient music or just chanting.
I cant pin down the taste exactly. I just keep clicking next/new recommendations until the feeling of avoidance(maybe) dissipates and brain decides it will activate flow state with this random song this time. Sometimes it happens with old songs, sometimes it happens with new songs, sometimes it happens with covers of old songs, sometimes it doesn’t happen at all and i listen to audiobooks instead.
And the recipe is simple as well. Just need a good throwing hand.
Those are just synonyms with the same meaning.
Just a few games, probably industry focused ones, like Factorio and Satisfactory and i should be already set for a year with just those 2. Maybe a few ARPGs as well. I don’t have that much free time for gaming anyway and even if I’d run out of those/get bored/need some variation. I can dust off my painting supplies and start painting minis again.
Probably music too, that’s the only one that i have completely transferred over to streaming.
Movies, i already have favorite ones downloaded and stored. Same for audiobooks and there are enough of those to keep listening for years.
So with basically a minimal preparing i could already do it now.
Edit: rereading, as no one has internet, then probably order few WH40k minis as a precaution. Maybe knights and Belisarius Cawl and I’d be set for years to come.
In front of family, absolutely not, their judgment matters the most and can have significant impact on everything.
It might even be the opposite. The judgment of a stranger, who i will encounter once for 10 seconds and then never again is completely irrelevant as it doesn’t have any impact.
While I don’t sing out loud at all or hum. Being free around others is strongly correlated to how big of an impact they can have on me, either financially, physically or mentally.
Not necessarily. I’ve been getting happier and happier over time, even despite the world getting shittier. Of course there still are problems, but I’m fairly sure i can fix those over time as well.
Though that might be more from that my childhood wasn’t that great, not the worst physical abuse either, but not a normal one either with a dash of psychological and emotional abuse and minimal support, only what’s required by the law.
So getting older, getting nore comfortable within my body and figuring myself out, stuff which usually is done in childhood and teenage years in a safe and supportive environment, has been helpful in making life more comfortable and having more control over my own life, which ultimately allowes me to make life more comfortable for myself and become happier.
Sry. It hasn’t happened for me yet or anyone near me. So they must be doing it in waves, which is usually done based on location.
I do agree that even 1 is too many, just that it’s not as widespread as of now.
But why hinting? Why not just actually use clear words and tell them to control their dog? With clear community, no code phrases or hinting isn’t needed.
