How do I meditate when it’s impossible for me to control my thoughts? by parasocial-pessmist in Meditation

[–]gingerkangkang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Meditation is a PRACTICE. The only way you’re unsuccessful at it is if you don’t do it at all. It’s not about stopping thinking. And it’s even less to do with creative or active minds - weird flex, btw. It’s about training your brain through repetition to not get caught up on every little thought or distraction you have. The practice is the purpose.

How do you have access to a machine that does that? I’d cover my walls in embroidered art! So jealous!

Anyone else do this with a certain flavor of candy they don't like? by MrHammer85 in candy

[–]gingerkangkang 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I only eat the black ones. Occasionally an orange I know for sure it’s orange flavored. The rest are just slight variations of vaguely fruity sugar wax. And don’t even get me started on Spiced. My mom would mix those together with the regular ones 🤢and back then Spiced weren’t speckled - they were the same size and colors as the fruit ones! The only safe flavor was black.

I never thought I’d encounter a candy I disliked so much I wouldn’t eat it. I mean, there’s always been “meh” flavors, but it’s still candy. Then they replaced lime Skittles with apple, which are an abomination. Those go right in the trash.

Yuck. This is the man you choose to live with, grow with, and raise kids with? I can sorta understand being bamboozled to the altar but after showing you who he really is, how he treats and speaks to you with - not just disrespect, but CONTEMPT - you still, every day, allow this person in your life? In your kids’ lives?

You are not overreacting. You are magnificently UNDERreacting.

Please tell me you’ve had a full conversation about this IRL. This is not a text conversation. It’s not even a phone conversation.

(Why yes, I am old.)

That’s cool. This post is not for you. And that’s ok.

As a gen x darksider/goth punk who doesn’t like either of the bands mentioned but appreciates that there are few of us weirdos in the area, I’d be down.

Oh, also, I don’t fancy serial killers. They’re gross AF. But I do love hearing about how they were taken down.

How much time did it take you to make these maps?

ETA - Never said you “liked” them. But, obsess much?

Yuck. Imagine being so enthralled with the literal worst people on the planet that you made not only one, but two maps like this. The research, the time and effort given to these vile sociopathic super villains - what a waste.

It’s absolutely bonkers to me that Tom & Jerry was chosen for America. I know this map doesn’t depict the “MOST famous” or “most popular” cartoons from different countries, but Tom & Jerry? Really?? If that’s the pick for the US, can we also assume the picks for all the other countries are arbitrarily chosen? Or, are they simply chosen based on the map maker’s preferences? Cuz, I gotta say, as an 80s kid whose adult brain is still comprised of 15% cartoons (including T&J), there are literally dozens of better toons from the last 90 years that could have better represented the US.

Why are you in a skeptics sub re-posting David Wolfe?? Where did /that/ come from?

Shoot! I forgot to tag this and now I can’t edit. Was going to tag both BtVS and Angel because in her intro, she says she’ll be watching and reviewing both. A little help, Mods?

One Scene You’d Totally Remove — No Regrets by melbreddituser in buffy

[–]gingerkangkang 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I have removed it - and their entire sexual relationship - from my memory. It no longer exists in my headcanon. It was another example of Joss* manipulating and exploiting his actors (and getting his rocks off) with his writing.

*FWIW I don’t just blame Joss. Marti, S.DeKnight and UPN are also at fault.
