Don’t forget exposing national secrets. From satellite and submarine capabilities to nuclear capacity.

Trump is a traitor.

I once successfully defended myself from a lawsuit by invoking a previous TOS. The court allowed me to choose any version of the TOS that benefited me the most. It was akin the doctrine in contract law that ambiguity is always found to be detrimental to the drafter of the contract.

They also regularly have independent security audits
and their servers run everything on RAM meaning the second it loses power all data is lost.

It was never a bet. It was him attempting to inflate the price by saying he would buy it above the share price at the time. It was an attempt at market manipulation and the SEC made him go through with it.

Is reddit still a serious thing? I haven't visited in months and it no longer appears in my search results.

To be clear, I don’t search for reddit specifically. What I’m trying to say is that when I search for something that is likely going to be found in a forum reddit does not even appear in my results.

They are not a gang. They are a cult. It is an important distinction.

So you don’t dry yourself after using a bidet?

Same thing happened to mine. Except 3 Chevy dealerships refused to fix it under warranty. Despite there being a service bulletin on exactly that failure. They even charged me for the diagnostics.

Every car I ever owned was a Chevy but after this I will never buy another GM product.

Yeah, that’s going to happen. The features that make website useful are the same features used to track everything. It’s a sliding scale from usability to privacy. The further you go in one direction the less you get from the other.

I am trying to reduce distractions and be more mindful of my surroundings. The sights, smells, and sounds of everything around me and my existence as part of it all.

It is still new to me and I find myself unconsciously getting my phone from my pocket and scrolling because it is boring. However, the effects I feel like reduced anxiety and depression are worth it. I also get to see things that I would miss if I were distracted by electronics.

Maybe practicing mindfulness could be beneficial for you as well.

Electric kettle and french press.

  1. Add sweetener and vanilla extract to mug.
  2. Fill and start kettle.
  3. Add loose leaf Earl Grey and lavender to french press.
  4. Pour boiling water into french press.
  5. Steep for 3 minutes.
  6. Press and pour the tea into the mug.
  7. Add a splash of oat milk.
  8. Stir and enjoy.

It’s called a London Fog and it’s delicious.

Yes this is something that Kbin users can do (by selecting More > Activity on a post) and I believe Lemmy users can do this too but not with the native inrerface

I’m on kbin and confirm that I can see who votes and if they upvoted or downvoted for posts and comments. It’s really fun to use and see people upvote their own comment.

This is such a great question. I have almost zero knowledge of biology so I can’t offer a meaningful answer. I just want to say this really is a genius question.

You’re right. I just want to add the proper terms for people to search for in case this information helps them. The main matters considered in contract law are “consideration and performance”. Happy hunting y’all. Take down these corporations that do not care for you.

I’ve found that “living in the moment” is the best way I can describe it. Instead of thinking about what’s next, like upcoming appointments or responsibilities just watch, look, and listen to your surroundings. You can be sitting, standing, or anything in between. Your body position or location do not matter.

Even while in a room alone, try to think about the things around you. What do you see? What do you hear? What is that smell? If you’re eating something, how does it taste. Do you feel the breeze as it flows across your body? The more you can identify and the more detailed you can be in answering these questions the easier mindfulness becomes. I find it helpful to think about the things I’m experiencing individually. Trying to take it all in at once is sometimes overwhelming and causes me to lose mindfulness.

There will be intrusive thoughts and your mind will wander. This is normal and when you notice it happening go back to thinking about your surroundings.

To me the most important part of mindfulness is recognizing your existence in your environment. So take everything you are experiencing and think deeply about how you are a part of it all. For example, the sounds would not be the same without you. Some sound waves are absorbed and some bounce off your body and back into your environment. You’re an integral part of the world around you. It wouldn’t sound the same without the sound waves bouncing off you and back into the environment. Try to understand your impact on your surroundings. Appreciate the opportunity to experience these things. Cherish the understanding of yourself and your environment that you begin to develop while practicing mindfulness.

Now take another look, listen, and smell. Then try to identify more and think deeply about those things and how your presence is part of it all.
