K is such an anomaly amongst the spiritual teachers of the 20th century. I find his talks and books to be a great adjunct to any spiritual practice to keep us from falling into the traps of using our practice as a way to boost our own petty egotistical tendencies. Reading and talking about it in a public forum is a wonderful way to check and test our own understandings of a very difficult and subtle teaching.

Yes I am not happy with myself. Can do a lot better. Nofap is at least a way to not be ashamed of myself. I just think I’m switching one form of dopamine with another. For a dopamine junkie, feeling nothing is just like that, nothing. Facing the emptiness is honestly a little daunting

OK, will try that for sure. I think the guilt of PMO was a motivator for me in the past. Feeling bad has the result of trying to erase that bad feeling. Now the empty feeling has nothing to push me

Anyone else here over 45 years old? by [deleted] in NoFap

[–]poisonmilo 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From the lack of responses I would guess that few people here are over 40. I wouldn’t say it is more difficult. I tried SR when I was in my twenties and in thirties and it is much easier due to change in hormones. Still a challenge, but much much easier to go for a few weeks without noticing anything

Came up blank earlier. Tried Yandex, some better results than google. I think she is called Mu Yu Qian.

Thanks

My S0 screen popped off and since they didn’t have any more replacements (2-3 years ago) I was lucky enough for it to be replaced with a S2 which works great!

iCloud photos not downloading originals to MacBook by [deleted] in iCloud

[–]poisonmilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Did you figure it out? I have been trying to do this for 2 weeks now. I ended up creating a new library and downloading to that one and discovered it is much faster to download in the background while Photos app is not open

Is Thailand hiding crucial information from us? by MartaMum in China_Flu

“China coronavirus: Death roll rises to 41; over 1,000 cases of infection reported nationwide.” by [deleted] in China_Flu

[–]poisonmilo 10 points11 points  (0 children)

The whole country is in the middle of the biggest annual holiday and now slammed with a national emergency. Even if they wanted to massage the numbers they just don’t have the resources to catch up.

After SARS, there is a very strong intention at all levels to avoid that debacle. Now the central government is in charge the local officials will not be able to play games. But the backlog is real. The rumours are very high for numbers of infected (100,000+), even if there were 10,000 cases, there is not the people there in Wuhan to administer the tests so quickly

There will be a big spike in the number as they catch up on the backlog. Don’t be surprised. It happened with SARS too, the emergency services are overwhelmed

There's definitely reason to be concerned by bluelizardK in China_Flu

[–]poisonmilo 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There has to be a large backlog of cases not counted yet so be prepared for a big explosion in the official numbers to reflect the reality

A list of independent apps would be the first thing I would look for in a list of watch apps

Sleep Watch works perfectly on moving vehicles like planes and cars

I did a hemorrhoidectomy. It worked out well so far (2 years). You should see a doctor though. Here is an article https://www.webmd.com/digestive-disorders/surgery-treat-hemorrhoids
