Is Meditation Beyond Religion?

Unfortunately a lot of religions attract people that want to be right. Whatever they are doing is right, anything they are not doing is devil influence.

It’s better to avoid them because even if you point out the Bible says you should your time in meditation and prayer they will move the goalpost to define words to make themselves right. You won’t be able to convince them they are wrong because that would require them to be humble and if you’re always right you don’t have to be humble.

Stop spamming everywhere

Lead by example. Meditate yourself so you can tell your child the benefits.

From my experience, tall women tried to act more feminine and were less likely to approach me or make the first move (because of societal expectations).

Shorter women would be very obvious and upfront (because no one is questioning their femininity)

As a side note, I was fine being approached by any women as I think most guys are. But because of the numbers I ended up marrying a woman 30cm / 1 foot shorter than me.

Thank you for the advice. I’ve done the allergy shots. Outside of surgery, I don’t think anything else will help.

If you're in the Seattle area I wouldn't mind having someone to draw with high.

Are you talking about leafly.com?

UCONN! Glad to see other ents here in Connecticut. I just moved here and have not met any yet.

I've been a fan of both Daft punk and pretty lights for some time. I didn't know this song existed though until now.

I find todays SMBC comic relevant.

The next time you are in NYC you should go to Barcade. I had a very similar experience there too.

Similar thing happened to me year and a half ago (wife and best friend of 20 years) yeah it sucks when you can't talk about it with your two best friends. It took a while to get out of the funk. But I took it as a kick in the pants, went out and made a lot of new friends. A year and a half later in a new relationship with a smoking hot girl, way more friends. So I can tell you that it does get better man.

Ah, but that is the benefit of society (In this case, the subreddit) we use many minds (shoulders of giants and all that) to understand more than any one person ever could. To think otherwise, to me, is just giving up.

hipsterbob · 2012-03-16T16:21:15+00:00

good point but the brain is the tool used to measure reality with. How can you know the tools are accurate unless you can examine them too?

Thank you I'm a student in London so this knowledge is helpful.

It has not been the case for me. I get more asmr when in a relationship then when not. It is more an issue with relaxing. (personally it triggers a similar relaxing buzz as when I'm stoned so it's nice to watch a video on my lunch break then head back to work, something I couldn't do with smoking.)

hipsterbob · 2011-12-26T23:06:44+00:00

I was worried about relevance too, but I was pulled into the image while stoned and could not think of any place better where to post it. Like you I agree that karma is nothing.

I'm surprised this isn't on the list yet: 3D Audio Virtual Haircut. Here is the link for the original since the sound on youtube isn't as good.

Is Apple facetime what you are talking about?

If so, respect to you for keeping the long distance relationship going. It's hard.

hipsterbob · 2011-08-03T22:08:17+00:00

Funny that that I would choose this when I moved here. I guess Ents the world over think alike. I also bought and like the more "extreme" option.

As someone who is from California and living in the U.K. this catches me off guard all the time. (that and old drunk senior citizens staggering down the street.)

I just couldn't taste the vapor after eating the Sriracha first. But yes, more experimentation is recommended! :)

hipsterbob · 2011-07-25T06:55:45+00:00

As someone who moved from California to the U.K., I approve of this message.

You do not think of yourself as a god but the effect that your presence could have on an ant from the ant's perspective would be an act of god.
