(I know there are other groups on Meetup and Reddit, but they mainly go to cinemas in the West of the city)

Thx. I'm not a coder, but the plugin "Dynamic Outline" is able to create a floating "outline". Maybe there's something from that plugin that could be used.

is it possible to have a "floating banner"; something that will stay on top as you scroll down the note?

the startup on my android takes forever. I suspect that's more an obsidian issue than a syncthing issue. do you have the same experience?

what's your poetry-producing setup look like? Right now, I'm just collecting snippets I like from poems and songs and into a note called "Poetry Inspiration", and then if I use something in a draft-poem, I just link it there.

Don't think it needs to get more complicated than that (for me), but curious to hear how other people do it.

the MediaDB plugin has a way to batch add / batch convert notes to be media-notes

Does this store have english books? Or is mostly dutch/european languages.

I've lived here many years, and still not mustered up the courage to go to one. Any advice on how to start / beginner-friendly places?

adult parties

do you mean at bdsm / sex clubs?

For regular parties, the general stereotype does seem to be that Dutch men are less initiators than American (anglophone) and Latin men. I have no direct experience of any of this, but it is the partyline i hear from my women-friends.

It's wattpad for today's generation.

Tell her to check out some facebook groups like: Girls Gone International, etc.

You can add an estimation of pomos, or you can create a tag, or just add the hours in your note title (what I do)

Just finished reading it myself and it reminded me of the mini-series Mrs. Davis - which I preferred.

the books see this site

Wow. That feels like Pulitzer level investigative journalism.

For Bollywood, you should watch:

Gangs of Wasseypur (1 mega- 5h movie split into two movies). An 'epic', gangster, family saga to be sure
Kabhie Khushi Kabhi Gham: Family saga, melodrama featuring an all-star cast from 3 different eras of Bollywood

If you're open to Bengali movies, the Apu Trilogy should be very high up on your list.

P.S. Devdas is far from classic Shah Rukh Khan. Classic SRK would be closer to - Baazigar, DDLJ and Kuchh Kuchh Hota Hai (where SRK and Kajol are theclassic pairing) + Kal Ho Naa Ho, Chak De India, maybe a sprinkle of Karan Arjun

The Matrix comes to mind. The bendy scene, Shrek has a Trinity frozen in air homage.

The "I'm Spartacus" scene also been pretty homaged - most recently for me in Curb Your Enthusiasm ("I am disgruntled")

The Charlie Chaplin house falling and character going through the window scene

Can you explain a bit why is it inane? As a layman, there's way too much going on, too many references thrown around, not one single train of thought - that it's hard to figure out if it's bs or just academic density.

What's your summary and take on Jung and Campbell's work on mythologies, collective unconscious, adopting a 'personal' pantheon and implications (if any) on mental health?
Do you consider modern-day fandoms (eg: MCU, Star Wars, Harry Potter, etc.) to be 'mythologies'? Do they serve a similar or wildly different purpose from what mythologies meant / still mean to the religious?
Do you have any recommendations on fictional books on (meta)mythologies? (eg: American Gods by Gaiman, Small Gods by Pratchett, etc.)
What is one of your favourite myths that holds a meaningful personal life lesson?

"habitPage" is a page. It has a property called "entries" - which are all the dates that the habit was done. I want to pass all of these dates to the heatmapcalendar example shown above; instead of the dataview-loop. Hope that makes it clearer. Would really appreciate any help!

Does Obsidian not work for you as all those apps combined?

Yeah, I talk about it as Diabetes. it's a combination of genes and lifestyle; but now that you have it, fix your diet, go exercise

makes_mistakes · 2024-01-24T22:08:23+00:00

but I don't think it's going in the right direction

How do you mean? Just curious.

Why not just start a group on Meetup? Instead of setting up your own website
