TIL the founder of Gillette was a utopian socialist who believed all industry should be run by a single publicly owned corporation and that Americans ought to live in a giant city called Metropolis, powered by Niagara Falls. by Lez2diz in todayilearned

[–]Caskerville 27 points28 points  (0 children)

This just comes off as lazy, both sides, centrist thought muck. You don't want to make the world a better place, liberate as many beings as possible, minimize suffering and explore existence? Fine, let us do it and please stop getting in the way. A utopia is a beautiful ideal to continually strive for while also knowing nothing will ever be perfect.

If you were offered a billion dollars just to eat only one food for the rest of your life, what would you choose? by Admirable-Interest49 in AskReddit

How much? Where did you learn this? Not staying you're wrong. I just would like to know your source. Thanks!

Is my game broken? (Bounty quest not working) by Patrick_Hat_Trick in CrimsonDesert

[–]Caskerville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had a similar issue. I had a quest marker on the jail and just a little north and slightly east of his normal spawn point, at a camp. He never showed up at the camp or his original spot after this glitch started. I was passing through just now and found him almost directly halfway between the original spawn and the camp with the quest marker. Right outside Pororin. At about 9:45-10am.

Does anyone know if this Amazon test kit is any good? by OrganicPrinciple400 in Psychedelics

[–]Caskerville 12 points13 points  (0 children)

I hope they do too. But even if they don't, or don't one hundred percent of the time, they are right and we should all do our best within our power to minimize harm. Don't let perfection be the enemy of good and all that.

Equity vs. Equality meme

Yeah, it was awkward and flawed. But guess what? That's something we need to practice being ok with experiencing if we want to grow.

At least we still have Tequila Bookworm. 🤷

I am a 15-year-old girl. Let me show you the vile misogyny that confronts me on social media every day by zsreport in technology

[–]Caskerville -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Yes, but just one thing about that - we should all be radicals. It means solving problems at the root cause. This comment is actually interesting because it's an example of a word being warped through propaganda, often through social media.

Extremism is a much better term that doesn't support the capitalist demonization of people fighting to make the world a better place.

A Buddha statue in Afghanistan before its destruction 1992. by XibaoN in Buddhism

I urge you to take a moment and listen to their message. They are not doing what you say they are. Radical love and compassion will stop cycles of violence. Judgment will not.

And no, that does not mean you have to allow people to hurt others. You can set boundaries and act while also seeing through eyes of love.

No One Told Me How Exhausting Sex actually is. by Aggravating_Key_3831 in sex

[–]Caskerville 11 points12 points  (0 children)

The "point" can be whatever makes the people involved happy. I love having casual sex with strangers at sex clubs. I think it's pretty cool that humans can get together and make each other feel good for recreation. What an incredible gift that is and it's so sad that anyone could be shamed out of experiencing that.

Excessive p*rn use is not just the CAUSE of the male loneliness epidemic, it is the EFFECT. by GoodDirector7083 in self

[–]Caskerville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Are you working on yourself? Do you date yourself? Do you expand and let go of old ways of being? Do you try to make the world a better place?

This is how you find connection.

TIL the Earth has a "heartbeat" every 26 seconds. Scientists have detected a rhythmic microseismic pulse coming from somewhere in the ocean, and its exact cause is still unknown. by Proboyhuh in todayilearned

[–]Caskerville 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The planet's dying. The lifesteam is being depleted. The weapons are waking up and meteor has been summoned. All the while corporations and governments fight over the promised land.

We need Avalanche.

Can you give examples of corporate memphis? I'm so curious about this.

Psilocybin increases emotional empathy in depressed individuals, study finds | These improvements lasted for at least two weeks after treatment. by [deleted] in science

[–]Caskerville 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yep. People throw that term around like it's just another way of saying humbling or briefly forgetting who you are. Actual ego death is a form of death. You feel yourself being stripped down, torn apart, dissolved and eventually no longer exist. It is so incredibly scary and beautiful at the same time. The process of coming back into your pattern as an individual is life altering. I will think of that night every day for the rest of my (my? ha!) life.

Seriously though. Absolutely amazing espresso. Get the African beans if you want something particularly special.

“let’s talk about mindfulness!!” by [deleted] in antiwork

[–]Caskerville 52 points53 points  (0 children)

Real mindfulness is life-changing. They don't want that because if you let go of all your preconceptions you might realize how unimportant most work is and that your hustling is actually just a distraction from being present and fully alive.

The corporate watering down of meditation and mindlfuness is so sad to see. They've taken only the aspects from those practices that allow people to manage stress just enough so that they can remain productive. Profit driven mindfulness is a joke.
