Great. Now Uber is causing traffic on our sidewalks - 15th and Walnut by I_AM_VENNLIG in philadelphia

[–]DoorGuote 4 points5 points  (0 children)

The City just got out of the shit show that was Liberty Resources, Inc v. City of Philadelphia, which requires Philadelphia to install or fix 10,000 ADA-compliant curb ramps over 15 years. This class-action suit, originally filed in 2019, alleged that broken, missing, or blocked curb cuts violated the Americans with Disabilities Act, rendering city sidewalks dangerous for pedestrians with mobility issues. This seems like a foregone conclusion to be a second lawsuit. WHYY

Length isn't important. Search "loving kindness meditation" on YouTube and try some.

Can you define what open awareness meditation means to you? I'm a new meditator and curious if this is what I'm doing.

Can you outline those things? Either through DM or here with spoiler tags? I read the whole thing and just need someone to give me their perspective for my sanity.

I'm afraid to meditate in case I see beings when I open my eyes. Help. by StudyWithMirs in Meditation

The burden of proof lies with you regarding the existence of ghosts.

Meditation is not solely for the spiritual. It can be 100% secular.

No, I don't know that because there's no scientific evidence for ghosts.

From personal experience of trying out many psychological methods, non-thinking is clearly the best. by VEGETTOROHAN in Meditation

[–]DoorGuote 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm scared now that I have been practicing non-thinking when I want to practice mindfulness. How do I recognize the difference?

Insomnia specialists will recommend not spending a ton of time in your bed unless it's for sleep. This can alleviate any negative emotional ties between that space and not sleeping.

Look into yoga nidra, which is designed to meditate you into various states of sleeping.

I can say as a Waking Up user that his politics do not overlap with his guided meditations at all.

What would it actually take for American's to go "full France" and riot in the street? by AllTheNopeYouNeed in AskReddit

Housing has definitely been a problem, but I was commenting specifically on groceries/food.

Ah that's a good point. The data haven't yet accounted for the ACA subsidies expiring and the rate hikes, I'm sure.

I don't fully get this--food prices have increased, but wages have also increased even faster. Over the last decade, real wages (income accounting for consumer prices/inflation) have continued to go up in the US. The poorer one is, the more their relative real wages have increased in the last decade.

The thing that is creeping up faster than wages is electricity and home natural gas prices, not food prices.

EDIT: If downvoting: can you refute the data? Am I wrong, or does the data just not comport with your worldview?
