I don't really know, but I suspect that on sunny days. But also, I'm now looking at the dark sky and it's pretty good. Personally I also love rainy days.

@Carl-Richard I can be happy, and see pictures. Are then color-blind people miserable?

What is listening, how to listen experientially and extract insights from communications, hearing another's experience as it is. What it takes to being ready and willing to grasp profound considerations. Like when the Buddha, in a gathering of monks, held up a flower and Ananda was the only one to grasp what he was trying to get across.

I don't know about the first one, but YouTube offers decent auto-generated subtitles.

I for sure am not. But I've had a couple of "sober" glimpses. Statistically speaking, not many. A handful plus Leo might be deeply conscious, but who knows? Especially as students, we can't really be certain whether those are authentic or not. It's best to be open and skeptical at the same time, and ultimately focus on your own work. You can always refer to reputable ancient masters like Buddha, Rinzai, Huang-Po, etc.

Duplicate thread.

That'd be hilarious, and extremely surprising. Although they play well...

Nothing really, if you like it. There are currently two OneNote apps on Windows: OneNote for Windows 10 Microsoft OneNote The former is the one we're talking about. It's like a tablet-oriented app. Its naming is confusing as it is also available on Windows 11. Microsoft recently decided to consolidate its efforts on the latter, which is the desktop version, the one that works and looks as the one in the commonplace video.

@AndylizedAAY isn't this one free? https://apps.microsoft.com/store/detail/onenote/XPFFZHVGQWWLHB

Spain is in the top five, I'd say. We play pretty well as a collective with no superstars, control games with possession (even against Italy and France) and are aggressive at pressing for getting the ball back. But their style is often indirect and slow. Argentina and France are the main contenders. Portugal has so many excellent players, probably the best squad in the competition. Brazil is extremely offensive, it can never be discarded in a world cup. Belgium has miraculously f**ked up their chances at winning any competition with the amazing team they've had for the last six years or so. Awful defensive line currently. Let's see how England and Germany perform. Between these two, I'd pick England.

The OneNote you're using is going to be deprecated in 2025, it has already been hidden from the Microsoft Store. Use an older version or switch to another app. Check out Obsidian. It's a bit more technical but worth learning after all. Your commonplace book is stored as local markdown files, so you don't have to depend on any company even if the app stops being offered. And it is future-proofed and free. It ultimately depends on what your preferences are.

@The Mystical Man Looks promising: Naughty Dog’s PSS Visual Arts Collaboration Either that or a new Uncharted.

@ThePoint For me, being fully engaged in various activities for most of the day is key, focusing your attention on those, not on what you'd like to avoid. Where does your attention go to in your free time? Put it on something constructive. I've also noticed that caffeine, especially on sedentary days, doesn't seem to help at all. Generally, it makes me anxious and breathing gets shallow, short and fast, making me look for ways of releasing that pent up energy as a means of quick relief or gratification. Cold showers are worth a try.

Pretty good! Also slightly sinister, imo.

Nice. I love authentic teachers like him. They're rare.

Aside from speculation, we don't want to admit the plain truth: nobody knows. As a self, we are alive, and we don't even know what life is. Perhaps grasping what life is reveals the nature of death as they're intrinsically the same dynamic or process. But I don't know.

Stop bringing cigarettes to your mouth, despite your motivation to the contrary. That's what it takes, fundamentally. Wishing is superficial; it isn't a serious commitment to act on it. Intent is what allows an action to happen. Intent arises with action. If you truly intend to quit, make it happen, no matter what excuses your mind makes up. Granted, the motivation will still be there but you can refrain from acting on it.

Stop doing it. Seriously. Be willing to go through the momentary withdrawal symptoms.
