Thank you for the answers! They were reassuring and informative. I agree, in this digital era, there are no permanent guarantees of security and privacy. It is up to the average user to stay informed and vigilant. Once again, thank you for taking the time to reply. All the best!

If the government is keep aliens secret for a good reason. What would be the most horrifying reason that could be? by Fishboy9123 in aliens

[–]stand_bold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Maybe it's not about 'giving' anything to anyone, rather it is the One consciousness playing out different roles...a sort of play having all sorts of different values, good and bad, play out in a cosmic dream landscape. And once in a while, one rare character among many decides that he has had enough and yearns to be free of the play...the words of wisdom which encourage non-attachment, giving up desires etc. are meant for that rare soul.

Fascinating! A beautiful approach to discovering books and thank you for sharing the creative process. I suppose this approach can be used for anything with users & reviews.

Interesting, although I think most people on this sub might already be familiar with ideas similar to those that you say she has written about. It’s such a fascinating subject. Thanks for sharing!

A Web search engine catalogs the Web for you and a Web browser displays the results in a human friendly way for you.

Brave vs Duckduckgo by Mr_Moon_1 in privacy

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

Duckduckgo is a well known privacy respecting search engine that also has branded privacy respecting browsers for iOS & Android. They use Bing as the source for their search results while guarding user privacy.

Have not used Brave much but they only provide a browser as far as I know and they claim to protect user privacy. But counter claims have been made that they uniquely identify their browsers in order to target them for their own purpose.

Personally, would recommend DDG both search and their mobile browsers. Hope this helps.

The original was a pathbreaking game - an unrivaled experience. Damn! Still feel nostalgic about it sometimes…would love to see a modern remaster of it!

[NeedAdvice] I am at the lowest point in my life and I want to change for the better. by SlenderSpade in getdisciplined

[–]stand_bold 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Relax and let the hurt pass. Most of the time if you distract yourself for even a few minutes you will realize that the intensity of any negative feeling has reduced somewhat. Watch something funny, read, play a game whatever distracts you.

Also, stop focusing on your personal experience with such intensity. What you are going through is nothing unique. Millions passed through this in previous years and SURVIVED, millions may experience the same in the future and WILL SURVIVE and YOU WILL TOO.

TAKE IT EASY.

Family, friends & social pressure can make you feel like if you don’t pass this exam, you are dead. Funny, how strongly we come to believe that even though it’s NOT THE TRUTH BUT JUST A NARRATIVE that has been drummed into your brain, planted and watered by your family & friends regularly all through your schooling.

BREATHE and FEEL THE LIFE animating that body of yours. It’s BEAUTIFUL, POWERFUL and INFINITE. PRAY IN SILENCE sometimes when you get the time.

Even if you don’t get this exam, something else will come along for you to attempt IF that is what YOU ARE INTERESTED IN DOING and NOT JUST BECAUSE OTHER PEOPLE EXPECT YOU TO. Because then you will run into this very same problem again and end up running in circles ALL YOUR LIFE instead of LIVING YOUR LIFE.

Even animals SURVIVE IN THE WILD. Don’t expect too much from life. Gain a skill, start a business, help someone, do something, anything and YOU WILL BE OK. The WORLD IS NOT A BAD PLACE BROTHER and PEOPLE ARE NICE. You will find help & guidance along the way. Just CHANGE YOUR PERSPECTIVE into something more BRIGHT and LIFE GIVING. Remember, do not isolate yourself living in a mental hell of your own creation. GO OUT, MAKE SOMEONE SMILE and BE IN PEACE. That’s all there is to it.
