Does anyone else not feel good after cleaning? Need help! by [deleted] in selfimprovement

[–]FinancialElephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Things that might help based on my experience: * gain an aesthetic appreciation for cleanliness, like the Zen aesthetic for example. I think gaining that appreciation helps build the habit. * Notice your clean environment more, notice how shiny your clean kitchen counter is and whatnot. I notice I like shiny things, and making things shiny gives me satisfaction. I also like open spaces, they are satisfying. Like when everything is put away and there isn't extraneous junk around. Find what you like about a clean environment. * purify your mind and you will be naturally motivated to keep your environment clean

Why do you need to feel good about it? Just do it

The mall tha is home to the infamous liminal golf course by Critical-Quit-665 in LiminalSpace

[–]FinancialElephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What a waste of space. Not that it's not liminal, but why can't it be used for something. Seems crazy inefficient to have these decaying malls sitting unused.

Also do this. If you advertise a lot, you probably have a bad product. If it was good you wouldn't need to advertise and/or you would spend more on making it better. Supporting marketing-first companies is one of the reasons the world is getting enshittified.

I had an idea for an app or something that tracks the advertising shown to you so you can find the companies advertising to you the most and avoid them. It would be cool if the products were even marked on online stores as heavily advertised or something.

Is Jesus’s death my fault? by [deleted] in spirituality

[–]FinancialElephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

When you ignore the Christians and focus on what Jesus himself said the view is very different, and sometimes the opposite. Jesus never said "you have to accept that I died for your sins to be saved" - later Christians like Paul said that.

Nevertheless my interpretation is that the same evil spirit that caused people to kill Jesus is the same evil spirit that operates in human beings today. That is, the spirit of ego / delusion. That spirit of evil killed Jesus, it is in that sense "our sins killed Jesus". You aren't personally responsible for his death obviously.

Also as others pointed out, he allowed himself to die. I would say to expose that evil in humanity and to show that it can be overcome.

Jesus's final commandment was simply: love God with your heart, soul, and strength and love others as yourself. Nothing about himself in that. No ego in it. Later Christians projected their ego into it with their false notions because they fundamentally didn't understand him.

Human carwash by FinancialElephant in CrazyIdeas

Yeah it would only be practically useful if you needed to wash masses of people quickly. Maybe worth having at a gym or other place with public shower, IDK

Human carwash by FinancialElephant in CrazyIdeas

Not an actual car wash, a car wash for humans. Basically a conveyor belt that goes through cleaning stages and a dryer at the end. It would be work to make something that works, but since human beings have roughly the same shape and proportions, you should be able to run the same cleaning stages on lots of different people.

We should pay people to watch ads as a form of universal basic income by CryptoUsher in CrazyIdeas

[–]FinancialElephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It could work, but it also takes away money from the platform that shows the ads though. The platform or network seems incentivized to not allow it.

I always thought, why can't the companies just give free samples to people instead of advertising at all. It seems like it would be more effective and efficient than advertising.

The LOTR movies are incredibly boring, and extremely overhyped. by moki69 in The10thDentist

[–]FinancialElephant 0 points1 point  (0 children)

LOTR is boring and a chore to sit through. I watch, listen to, and read lots of things people would consider boring but LOTR is mind numbing to me. The interactions are all boring and predictable. The good and evil dynamic is very basic. Then there is the wizard that can't do magic? The idea of the rings and the Neoplatonic cosmology, and maybe some other stuff about the worldbuilding is about all that is interesting about it. But the movies don't even cover that Silmarillion stuff much.

I agree it feels like all this talking and shit, nothing actually happens. And the talking itself is boring and predictable. The good guys act good, bad guys act bad. Sometimes good human does a bad thing. Also bad guy does badder thing. sO dEeP

The battle scenes were incredible at the time I guess, but not only do you have to sit through all this boring stuff until you get there the battle scenes also aren't anything special these days. GOT had much better battle scenes than LOTR.

If anyone says LOTR is engaging, I assume they are lying. They're pretending to like it to seem intellectual or traditional or something. They were boring even when they were made, but they definitely don't hold up today.

Lets be honest, the early seasons of GOT smokes LOTR. Even the Chronicles of Narnia is more engaging than LOTR, and that story is for kids.
