Like Ah, yes I need a trusty elastic around my ribs to gather sweat in the night so I can sleep.

Just them. We all think it's super weird.

[–] Ceedoestrees@lemmy.world 1 points 1 day ago

Hell yeah.

Next question.

What's it like to not have seen or heard a current joke in thirty years?

I've heard so many explanations I'm pretty sure Saskatchewan is like the Joker, coming up with a different lie every time someone asks.

Here's another article that doesn't require a sign-in.

Long story short: People in Saskatchewan call hoodies "bunny hugs" and no one knows why.

An objectively peer-reviewed hyperbole.

No, but they're objectively the best pet. Basically a walking plant who's bffs with a hole in the ground and hunts crickets by staying absolutely still until it's not.

The title is accurate, but the article doesn't really provide explanations beyond personal anecdotes. The few quotes and concepts are gestured to, rather than used to build an argument.

The comparison to greenhouse gas warnings came out of left field since they didn't bring up any direct relationship between the two subjects.

It reads like they expect readers to agree with them.

Any argument about AI and consciousness should point out the difference between "true" AI and the LLMs we're calling AI, and how they work.

I'm convinced he's trying to see if there's a limit to how many mental backflips an audience can take before they start to reign him in.

But before Tenet there was Primer, and it was a cult hit.

That's absolutely true.

And one of the many reasons Hotel was the greatest season of American Horror Story. Everyone, but especially Evan Peters, seemed to be having the best time. It felt like good theater.

And, of course, every muppet movie.

 

Tons of information on writing— incuding break-downs of popular literature and media, how to get through writer's block, and what it means to Save the Cat.

 

Bonus points for low impact and cheap/free. I have a foot injury and can't run/bike/hike for a bit.

Editing this to say:

  • Thank you all for the suggestions, I love the Lemmy community, and,
  • I know a lot of workouts can be done at home, and these are all great ideas. However, I bike/hike because I have trouble motivating myself to just work out as an activity. I trick myself using fun, but I don't know how to make indoor excercise exciting.
 

In the aftermath of more slow, dystopian, apocalypse shenanigans I'm trying meditations to slap a bandaid on my hemorrhaging mental health.

Seems like all I can find are slow ASMR style speeches about sunny fields and peachy angels, and I can't stand that don't-wake-the-baby talk. I'm not a baby.

I connected with one, lost to time, led by a guy with a chronic smoker's rasp who demanded inner peace. It was spiritually healing because I have a poor relationship with my father.

Please, friends, do you know any free, guided meditations that aren't condescendingly peaceful? That aren't trying to sell supplements or pitch their sponsors midway through?

PS. No posh london accents, they remind me of the king.

 

I've been using this site for over a year every time I get stuck on a subject.

 

Nominative determinism is the hypothesis that people tend to gravitate towards areas of work that fit their names. The term was first used in the magazine New Scientist in 1994, after the magazine's humorous "Feedback" column noted several studies carried out by researchers with remarkably fitting surnames.

 

What free, online tools do you use when you're stuck on words, descriptions or motivation? Powerthesaurus.org is one of my favourites because it does phrases as well. I know there's a paid version, but I haven't used it.
