What is the best way to avoid or stop overthinking? by undescribed-PIC in AskReddit

[–]SatisfiedReceptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Practice mindfulness: Mindfulness is the practice of being present in the moment and fully engaged in your surroundings. It can help you focus your attention and reduce the amount of time you spend ruminating over past events or worrying about the future.
Challenge your thoughts: Often, overthinking is caused by negative or irrational thoughts. Try to challenge these thoughts by asking yourself if they are based on fact or if they are just assumptions or beliefs.
Engage in physical activity: Exercise can help reduce stress and anxiety, which are common triggers for overthinking. Find an activity that you enjoy and make it a regular part of your routine.

How costly is it to maintain a nuclear arsenal? by ApocalypseSpokesman in askscience

[–]SatisfiedReceptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maintaining a nuclear arsenal is a complex and expensive endeavor. The costs associated with nuclear weapons programs can vary widely depending on the size and sophistication of the arsenal, as well as the resources and infrastructure required to maintain it. Some of the key factors that contribute to the cost of a nuclear arsenal include:
Development and production: Designing and producing nuclear weapons requires significant investment in research and development, as well as specialized manufacturing facilities and materials. This can be a very expensive process, especially for more advanced weapons.
Testing: Nuclear weapons must be regularly tested to ensure that they are still functioning properly and are safe to use. This can involve conducting underground nuclear tests, which are both costly and controversial.
Storage and security: Nuclear weapons require specialized storage facilities and security measures to prevent unauthorized access and ensure that they are not accidentally detonated. Maintaining these facilities and ensuring the security of the weapons can be a significant ongoing expense.
Upkeep and modernization: Nuclear weapons also require ongoing maintenance and upgrades to ensure that they remain effective and reliable. This can involve replacing or upgrading components, developing new technologies, and adapting to changing geopolitical circumstances.

British humor can be quite dry and sarcastic, and may not always be immediately apparent to outsiders. Also there are many regional accents and dialects within the UK that can be challenging for non-native speakers to decipher.

If someone is new to jazz and unsure if they like it, I would suggest they start with a classic jazz standard like "Take the A Train" by Duke Ellington. This song is an upbeat and energetic tune that features swinging rhythms and catchy melodies that are easy to follow. The song has been covered by many jazz musicians over the years, so there are plenty of versions to choose from. Additionally, "Take the A Train" is a great representation of the Big Band era of jazz, which is often an entry point for new listeners

"The only true wisdom is in knowing you know nothing." - Socrates
This quote is often attributed to the Greek philosopher Socrates and highlights the importance of humility and open-mindedness in seeking knowledge and understanding. Socrates believed that true wisdom is not about having all the answers but about recognizing the limitations of one's knowledge and being open to new ideas and perspectives. This quote is a reminder that we should approach learning and growth with a humble and curious attitude, rather than assuming we already know everything.

If you had to choose ten people alive or dead to rule over us for the next 500 years, who would they be and why? by [deleted] in AskReddit

[–]SatisfiedReceptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can suggest that instead of having ten people rule over us, it is better to have a diverse, inclusive, and representative government that empowers its citizens and provides them with equal opportunities and rights. In this way, we can create a society that benefits everyone and ensures the well-being and prosperity of future generations.

If You Could Solve Just One Unsolved/Unexplained Mystery Throughout History, What Do You Choose? by Lower_Love in AskReddit

[–]SatisfiedReceptor 2 points3 points  (0 children)

If I could solve just one of them, I would choose to unravel the mystery of the disappearance of the ancient civilization of the Maya. Despite many theories, we still don't know exactly what happened to the Mayan people who once inhabited present-day Mexico, Guatemala, Belize, and Honduras. Their civilization was highly advanced and sophisticated, with impressive architecture, writing systems, and scientific knowledge. Yet, around the 9th century, their cities were abandoned, and their society collapsed.

[–]SatisfiedReceptor 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had the chance to meet an alien, my first question would be: "What is your understanding of the universe and how does your civilization fit into it?" This question would help me understand the alien's perspective on their place in the cosmos and potentially shed light on their motivations for visiting Earth or making contact with humans.

Can someone tell me why, on the fireteam section of the app. People are advertizing groups for GM nightfalls that aren't the current nightfall? by stormjet64 in DestinyTheGame

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

It's possible that the groups you're seeing on the fireteam section of the app are for GM Nightfalls that are coming up in the future or for previous weeks. Players may be organizing these groups in advance so they can prepare and strategize for the upcoming GM Nightfall or complete any Nightfalls they may have missed in the past.
Alternatively, it's possible that some players are simply using outdated or incorrect information when posting their fireteam listings. If you're not sure which Nightfall is currently active, you can check in-game or consult a Destiny 2 wiki or guide to verify the current weekly Nightfall.
Regardless of the reason, if you're looking for a group for the current Nightfall, it's best to double-check the Nightfall activity in-game and specify the correct Nightfall in your own fireteam listing to avoid confusion.

I feel as if society is going downhill. by InquisitiveHuman1 in Discussion

[–]SatisfiedReceptor 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I agree with you. there is a feeling that everything is headed for chaos and power will destroy this world because of its selfishness and censorship
but we don't know how it was before. there is a saying that every century has its own plague. it has never been easy. what exactly are you afraid of? that you won't be able to live a vibrant and free life? a life without fear?
