  • Do you meditate?

  • I apologize, but I’m not the best to explain it

    For clarity, I wasn't really looking for an explanation of what they are — I was simply unsure exactly what you were referring to.

  • Do you meditate?

    Jump

  • […] this particular form of meditation connected to Buddhist religious and spiritual practices […]

    […] perfectly secular or non-spiritual forms of meditation […]

    Could you cite some information on both of those to help me understand exactly what you're referring to?

  • Do you meditate?

  • For clarity, are you saying that you think meditation is nonsense? If so, why or what about it do you think it's nonsense?

  • Trump says he'll 'look' at deporting Musk as feud reignites

    Jump

  • IMO, one of the worst parts of the article is this quote:

    […] "We might have to put DOGE on Elon," [Trump] said. […] "If DOGE looks at Musk, we're going to save a fortune,[sic]" […] \[1]

    To me, this reads as an admission of guilt from Trump that he instructs DOGE to withhold its scrutiny from entities favorable to him, and that he biases it towards entities unfavorable to him.

    TIL that Tesseract is a Photon Fork. Would you know, by chance, at what point in Photon's development it was forked to form Tesseract, and what the rationale was?

  • Similarly, if you were going to fly on an airplane, people would say what time does your plane land? They don’t think you own the plane.

    I think that's a fair point!

  • Once in a Generation Person

    Jump

  • […] You had a misunderstanding.

    When I first read it, it felt, to me, like they were insinuating that she was on board and in transit while it happened, but on second thought perhaps I read too much into it.

  • Once in a Generation Person

    Jump

  • Hrm, idk. I think I would just avoid the reference altogether. It feels, to me, like the reference emotionally charges the reporting too much for my liking. That being said, perhaps something more like this: "A month after a ship with the same destination that she was to board was allegedly bombed, Greta Thunberg sets sail to Gaza.".

  • EDIT (2025-06-02T06:55Z): I think I'm overthinking it 😆 please disregard the following comment.

    […] She tried the same about a month ago and her ship was bombed in a drone strike.

    Depending on exactly what they mean by "her ship", this is either false or misleading. Presumably, they are referring to the incident that occurred on 2025 May 2 \[1] where the Conscience was struck while still at anchor in Malta \[1.2]; however, Greta Thunberg was not on board that ship during the incident \[2], but she was supposed to board it \[2]. Therefore, it would be false if, by "her ship", they meant she was physically present on the ship during the incident, or it would be misleading, imo, if, by "her ship", they mean that she was supposed to be on it. Another possible option could be that they meant that she personally owns the ship; however, if so, that would also be false, as it is owned by a Turkish NGO \[1.1].

  • I agree with this, in that I think it avoids the issue of appearing to side with one or the other — I think it's more neutral.
