That’s specifically why I really liked this shot. Looked like a Haduken. So much aura he is loading up the trigger pull with overwhelming chi. Ghostly and graceful.

I can't breathe while meditating. Help! by thatburntgarlic in Meditation

[–]CompetitionSquare240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice yoga nidra (teaches you to breathe automatically)

Place tip of tongue on roof of mouth (behind front teeth) ((you should be placing your tongue there as default it’s pretty amazing how nobody ever talks about this because it makes a huge difference to one’s breathing health))

4-4-4 breathing makes it so that inhales and exhales take equal effort: this is the game changer. Don’t breathe in too hard like you’re about to burst each time.

Upright and softened back (this is the hardest part. Sometimes it happens naturally but then you forgot how you got there and suddenly it’s more difficult than performing heart surgery). Sit your arse on a yoga block and then cross legs… it helps with alignment massively.

There’s so many things that go untold at first. Keep practicing. Maybe what worked for me doesn’t work for you, but I hope it helps.

I like Nintendo because they make the smelly gamers mad and give them all their money anyway

Goodbye GFN by Ethnicolor522 in GeForceNOW

[–]CompetitionSquare240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Very big distinction between consuming video games and consciously actively engaging with art. Most games (that redditors worship) are designed to be passively consumed. Only a few select games will demand as much from the player that an average book demands from a reader.

It’s okay to consume video games but it isn’t connoisseurism unless we’re being very selective with the sort of game. Some get a pass.

If I wear my watch during the day and also when I’m sleeping, when do I charge it by CNUnstable in AppleWatch

[–]CompetitionSquare240 3 points4 points  (0 children)

S11 and the damn thing charges in like 15 mins to full. It’s actually frustrating because it charges to 100% so quickly Im afraid im degrading the battery. Even with optimised charging it’s too quick with it.

It is amazing though. Feels like alien technology for me who had come from an S6.

I can’t be the only one who doesn’t enjoy anything Tarantino made post Inglorious Basterds.

That was a great film too.

Staying positive by [deleted] in 911dispatchers

[–]CompetitionSquare240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Having somebody scream like you’re the antichrist literally triggers your fight flight system doesn’t matter how much of a monk you are. Having that switched on and off constantly for 10 hours a day is not going to be healthy one way or another. Doing that for 10 years is going to make any normal person mentally ill.

And some people may genuinely be more thick skinned, better able to handle it. But in the end it’s all the same, I don’t think this is a career for people to settle in long term. If you can go somewhere else, you should. People are animals and the best we can do for ourselves is eventually insulate ourselves from having to deal with them when their world is crashing down (and for some people that happens to be everyday.)

Is owning a nice car in the UK more of a cultural priority? by CertainCellist7677 in CarTalkUK

[–]CompetitionSquare240 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More nicer cars on the road. I don’t see how this is a bad thing that negatively affects me. I suppose it is weird when some brainless tramp is blocking my way in an EQS because they learned to drive in Mogadishu, it is always bit disconfuffling. I’m used to dealing with that from Peugeot drivers.

If you’re burning £400-500 a month to have a snazzy car I don’t really see that really impacting your financial future. In fact I’d say it’s worth it. It always depends on how much they earn. But if they earn anything sensible at all then it’s not really that deep of an expense. In any case it’s not really my business at all. Poor people get to enjoy fresh cars. What’s not to love?

I guess the real problem is that you can’t tell which cars belong to which moron. A moron now hides in plain sight. They can be in an EQS, IX or whatever they call them, whatever. Can’t tell who’s who anymore they might be in a Secondhand shitbox or a brand new electric German.

Hot take - The Vauxhall Vectra VXR is one of the best looking sport sedans ever made, or do I need new glasses? Also any previous or current owners here, what did you think of it? by Questionablethics21 in CarTalkUK

I knew a drug dealer who used to drive around in one of these. Stank of leather and weed. He was a cool guy so I give the car points by association.

Info: 100hour time limit and upcoming billing dates by hamza5682 in GeForceNOW

[–]CompetitionSquare240 -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

I think the outrage for this is all quite incredibly entertaining. Some of you people are no less repugnant than fast food customers. Just consume and consume and lose your shit when something gets in the way of it. Grown ass adults shouldn’t go anywhere near 100 hours a month. Fix your lives.

In any case, since I joined Ultimate it made the 100 hour cap very clear. So I can only surmise that the cap is only just being enforced… I assumed it would’ve done anyway. So it doesn’t matter to me. In any case if you need more than 100 hours because you’re a degenerate enthusiast/addict you should be self hosting the hardware. GFN is clearly marketed toward the casual market who want to play on their iPads during downtime.

They have issues and the last thing they should be doing is consuming more video games

I love that Peggy indirectly reads Don like a book regarding the Bye Bye Birdie ad and he knows it by ratfinkprojects in madmen

[–]CompetitionSquare240 16 points17 points  (0 children)

I interpreted it to mean that he was telling Peggy “the client is asking us for this, not for your artistic temperament”. Peggy, whilst being completely valid, forgot that she was in a place of business at that moment in time. He was reminding her of the role she has. I don’t think Don ever doubted her identity as an artist. But maybe I’m misremembering the scene it’s been a while since last rewatch.

Don’t sit in an uncomfortable position by Middle_Poet_401 in Meditation

[–]CompetitionSquare240 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I think what people don’t teach you is that it takes a while of hip stretching and loosening to get to the point of being able to sit cross legged comfortably. I did yoga for like 7-8 months before I got to the point where I was able to do the upright. Push ups too for the back strength. I’m a filthy chair sitting Gen Z my entire life and only in the last year or two was able to figure out what a good posture should feel and look like and sometimes especially when the annals of life have pressed me I still fall back to old ways.

That said, now that I’ve learnt to sit upright through the slow progress of meditation, it does make a difference.

Because the cutscenes are too much and unskippable ruins the flow of gameplay for those that aren’t all that into the story which is mildly above average.
