The skill is learning how to identify these loops, how they are triggered and how to get out. The easiest way to get out of them is distracting your central nervous system. You can do this with those methods above, going for a walk or holding ice for 30 seconds. Things that recenter you out of your head into your body. Over time you will learn the triggers as you get better at stopping the loop. HALT is my best friend these days.

The 16th Century Crisis was across Europe and that last link centers around the UK in the end in the English Civil War. It’s a whole thing that led up to it.

Haha, that’s certainly a curious interpretation of the crisis of the 16th century. You’re referring to this: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Protestant_work_ethic

This series basically modernises a classic book on the subject that’s about 100 years old on the topic if you want to know more: https://hellonearth.chapotraphouse.com/views/podcast/

It’s one of my favorite places in the world. :) There are others, though.

I get these errors too. You’re not shadowbanned.

Man, the use of “simple guide” makes me leery. Can anyone chime in?

Are you using Firefox?

No it doesn’t. It happens a lot if you do not use the mobile app. I have a mod account there and my interactions are heard regardless of this error. It might be a FF thing.

Go camp at a dark sky park for a weekend.

Hákarl made me projectile vomit. Literally. But, pickled herring on the other hand, I learned to love.

Joe Rogan was better when he realised he was a big dumb ape that didn’t know anything and was surrounded by people who checked him. When he moved to Texas he was surrounded by yes men, but to be honest I think the ego started shifting before that. He used to do some great interviews, but yeah.

It worked once. Why not twice. Why stop when no one is stopping you?

They’re pretty hot right now ngl. I’ll take them (to play with) if you want. 😅

It’s either that or I unleash the fedposting lmao.

I have been on a roll lately, wondering when I will crash out. It’s soon, my sleep is messed up again lol.

Steam OS, it’s not released to the public yet, but I know others waiting for it too.

Nope. I’m currently in England and a lot of it they burn with the rest of our garbage too. Other places here still ship it to the third world. We still have a long way to go before the garbage and recycling problem is fixed.

This is a global problem, fortunately consumers are better at separating their waste these days. A lot of these problems are up stream, though. Some places are getting better as per above but they are not good with this stuff. These laws are meant to set bare minimum standards and they are repeatedly missed.

It is killing people. It’s social murder.
