Sincerity

For those wondering about video editing on Linux:

Two of my best sources I'm subscribed to for (mostly) Ukraine war news. I appreciate their analyses.

Take with a grain of salt. 🧂 Also, the "you're not thinking" thumbnail is making me laugh. "Dumb motherfucker."

I loved the War of Art by Steven Pressfield. It's on my mind often. CREATION.

Great video from Leo's blog. Really resonated with me. The 20 brutal truths: Psychiatric diagnoses are labels, NOT explanations Most people with psychiatric diagnoses don't have a brain disorder Psychiatric medications aren't cures Psychiatric drugs cause tolerance Psychiatric drugs can worsen some people over the long term Long-term users of psychiatric medications are essentially guinea pigs Coming off psychiatric medications is hard Withdrawing from antidepressants and benzodiazepines can cause severe neurological damage known as protracted withdrawal Cannabis is a major gateway drug for triggering bipolar and schizophrenia Cafeine, nicotine, and inactivity are the biggest gateways to anxiety disorders Psychiatric research can be corrupted by pharmaceutical industry Pharmaceutical companies have co-opted academics ^ These academics train the next generation of psychiatrists Most doctors don't have the time to address root causes (US-specific) Good psychiatric care is nearly impossible to get with insurance (US-specific) American psychiatry isn't designed to help people (US-specific) The NIMH has betrayed the public (US-specific) There's a massive over prescription problem in the US (assuming in EU as well) In rare cases, psychiatric drugs can trigger mania, psychosis, or aggression In even rarer cases, psychiatric medications and can precipitate violent, unpredictable behaviour, sometimes involved in mass shootings

This is all the elaboration needed. You don't call this lack.

That's a terrible way to look at it. No offense. Femininity is incredible power. Just not as blunt as that of a man. Feminine power is based in attracting. While masculine power is based in directed will, "conquest". Both are outstanding forces.

Maybe you guys will get back together again.

@Schizophonia I’ve never had such issues. It probably helped that I specifically bought a laptop that I knew would handle Linux well.

I've been using Linux Mint for half a year now. It just works™. And these greedy Microsoft bastards can go to hell. They shouldn't be given money on principle. You can basically make Linux work however you want, with enough willpower and research. You even have the option to use Windows programs. MacOS is also great. I've been using it at work lately and it's flawless. MacOS for work and Linux for personal use - chef's kiss. I like both.

How I feel these days:

No Mod or Leo is doing anything to you. We’re all aware of each other’s given warnings. Next time you have that „ban” for 8 hours, you can screenshot what you see and DM it to us, and we might try to resolve it somehow (or pass it along to Leo).

Never saw anything like that.

Because you're starting to focus on something other than meditation. Just know what you want and go for that. If you want meditation for its own sake, focus only on the meditation - otherwise you're not really meditating. If you want insights and creative inspirations, then that's your focus. Make your pick in the moment.

Damn. Nice
