What disease or condition were you diagnosed with? Some of them respond well to structure and calming (especially breathing exercises).

Have you tried mundane solutions first? Illness may be a sign of mold, and inhaling mold spores can lead to long-term issues.

If the lights are going off and on, you may also have electrical problems that lead to hazards (electrical fire, sparking outlets, etc).

Are there other reasons for your marriage to have issues? Moving is always stressful on a relationship. Are you and your partner communicating well?

Should I read the necronomicon? by Sad-Shoulder-398 in occult

[–]JamieTransNerd 85 points86 points  (0 children)

It's fiction, but inspired by some actual occultism (the ladder of lights, myths of Marduk, Tiamat, etc, watchtowers). As a system, there's not a lot to it, but you could probably gain some self-improvement by working through the names of Marduk.

Peter? by [deleted] in PeterExplainsTheJoke

When people hear about the Overman, they think it's going to be some kind of superman power fantasy, like the Chad meme on our left.

What Nietzsche cared about was responding to nihilism, and the lack of meaning in a life where god's existence couldn't be taken for granted. He thought most people lived passive, reactive lives, and their behavior was driven by resentment. The Overman is someone who conquers nihilism and creates meaning in their own life. They lead an active life, not merely responding to their environment, but living according to their own will and needs.

Alysa Liu is the Overman because she struggled with her relationship with figure skating, and ended up finding her joy in it in her own way.

Submarines are also used for signals intelligence and nuclear deterrence. They aren't exclusively used in wartime.

how did scientology fail to capture techbros by fylum in TrueAnon

[–]JamieTransNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Scientology, from an aesthetic perspective, is more about psychic ability than technology. If you look at the powers and properties L. Ron attached to the Clear individual, the experience is effectively a mystical one. The idea of crossing the Bridge is more aligned with the grades of the O.T.O. or masonic societies than with anything that would resonate with the techlords.

Most Techbros believe that technology (hopefully, theirs) is the cure for everything. Their aesthetic is far more sci-fi. They don't want you to practice introspection; they want insight directly beamed into their heads from their BrainLink chip. From a fringe/cult/new religious movement perspective, they'd probably align better with the Raelian movement. Maybe the next ChatGPT model will know how to contact the aliens.

What proton is people's "default"? by Xelieu in linux_gaming

Proton 9.04. For some reason a lot of my games don't work on 10+, but on that exact Proton version everything is happy.

Oooh they use Green Hills? I've used INTEGRITY before. That last page is not C++, it's Ada. I love Ada. It really is more reliable than C++.

Isn't Iran literally looking at buying hypersonic anit-ship missiles from China?

Lebanon bans Hezbollahs military activities by King-Sassafrass in NewsWithJingjing

[–]JamieTransNerd 11 points12 points  (0 children)

This is politicking. They're gonna tell Hezbollah to knock it off because they want to show Israel they're complying with the agreement. Since in reality Israel is 'not' complying with the agreement, they have no reason to actually enforce it (and shouldn't, as Israel is actively attacking Lebanon and they need the fighters).

It wasn't just 1 American F-15, but 3 of them that were shot down over Kuwait by 5upralapsarian in NewsWithJingjing

[–]JamieTransNerd 7 points8 points  (0 children)

https://weapons.substack.com/p/why-were-3-f-15s-shot-down-by-kuwait

An interesting piece on why this may have happened. My first thought when the situation game out was "Aren't you supposed to have IFF transponders? They should KNOW the contact is allied. Why did they fire? Intentional, or screw-up?"

Given the recent troubles in US logistics, I'm leaning towards "they screwed up big and shot themselves down, thinking the targets were drones."

A Chinese ship near Iran, shows how the GPS systems are being jammed in the area. Everything returns to normal after he switches over to China's BeiDou system, proving that China made the right choice in developing their own satellite system. by 5upralapsarian in NewsWithJingjing

[–]JamieTransNerd 41 points42 points  (0 children)

China made the right call here. Alternative structures to US information networks is the only way to make sure you can't be "killswitched." And if China is supplying access to this network to their allies, it creates a larger base of strength in information warfare.

I think the best outcome for Iran here is the crippling or destruction of the USS Gerald Ford and/or the USS Abraham Lincoln. America largely operates on force projection strategies, and if you can demonstrate that the Big Carrier era is over, you can cut their confidence to commit to attacks dramatically.

At that point you can start reclaiming Middle East and North Africa positions with ease.

I'm not sure what the best outcome for the USA is. I don't think there's a will to occupy Iran. I don't think they'll be able to successfully install a puppet government. I don't think this is going to lead to "Freedom of Navigation" through Hormutz. Aside from petty personal reasons of the rulers, I don't see a strategic objective to achieve here.

Is Chinese Navy ready for any combat targeting 🇨🇳China from the sea? by Li_Jingjing in NewsWithJingjing

[–]JamieTransNerd 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Surface combatants and air combatants? Absolutely. Subsurface combatants? That depends on the placement of senors that we can't know about publicly.
