Very promising software , specially for someone like me who loses all his zen with technology and software being more complicated than expected for basic tasks

Why do I get the the feeling that the 500B project will end like this?

Don't you struggle with keeping them clean? I never liked the idea of not being able to reach inside with a sponge. I guess you use those stick scrubbers

This is a space to express and share creative writing, stories and poems. Go wild and unleash your talent! --- Ideologies churn, relentless and loud, Casting their shadows over the crowd. Double standards twist and deceive, Shaping the truths we choose to believe. Selfish hands reach for endless gain, While megalomania tightens its chain. Power hunger, insatiable and raw, Feeds on the chaos, rewriting the law. Epistemic debris is all we see, A mess of lies and hypocrisy. How do we start, where do we begin, To clear the wreckage, to let light in? --- Epistemic debris is my favorite wording so far this year. Let's goo!

Water fasting is extremely challenging if you're skinny and dont have much body fat. Make sure to at least supplement with electrolytes. I did't do that, and by day 4 I felt like I would die at any moment. I think having a nice reservoir of body fat allows you to fast for longer and therefore you get more benefits. Personal opinion though. @Adventure seeker Stay strong and keep us updated!!

Having "great taste" and not even trying to create music is a sin. Band lab is all you need to tinker around. It's extremely intuitive ( guess we're on topic here ). You can begin with creating a beat that sounds cool or to you or just a little melody. Over time you piece things together and boom! It's way simpler than you imagine And AI makes it so easy to get cool vocals or raw ideas for you to tweak https://www.bandlab.com/creation-features Break free from the idea that songs need to be minutes long. 10 second music is still music.

The same applies for bullying . If you're the smart kid in school and you don't hide it, less smart people will activelly try to put you down to rationalize (to themselves and others) the idea that being "smart" is actually stupid, so that they can feel good about themselves without having to change. There is so much more to this mechanic right here. Contemplate what are the survival benefits of bullying. It's so twisted but only makes sense.

are Are you talking about " The completion process" ?

Thaddeus Russel just felt shivers down his spine

This is pretty much part 2 to the Post Modernism series tbh

Happy 100 subs as well

@MrIowa A cozy little retreat sounds cool, but I wouldn’t expect it to actually fix things long-term, even if you blast yourself with that wizard dust. It might feel good for a temporary moment, but if that knot you’re describing has been building up for years, a single retreat probably won’t untangle much. Most likely, it will end up being more of a group thing that empties your wallet than something truly focused on you individually and your personal needs. The eco-village idea sounds appealing, but do you really see yourself living that way for the rest of your life? What do you think that idea might be hinting at? It sounds like what you’re craving is guidance and support to find mental clarity, emotional release, and a way to regain joy in life. Some proper contemplation and soul-searching could help you get there. Feel free to share more about your situation. There are some knowledgeable people around here. The more you put in, the more we can help you get something meaningful out of it. I don’t believe in quick fixes, but who knows. Here are a few scattered questions to reflect on to get started. Pick whichever ones you feel like: If you could have anything as a result of this conversation, what would you want? Why are you even looking for help? What do you currently have in your life that you no longer want? What do you not have in your life that you now want? Write a short personal life history, including any significant events, both positive and negative. C h e e r s

Alternative Title: How to Mantain the Epistemological Upper Ground

I want to start a thread that recompiles all the good resources, tips, tricks , software, do's and don'ts about optimizing technology for Personal Development purposes. Recently I've been putting more and more attention on how insidious modern technology is for our attention span, focus, productivity, dopamine and motivation system, etc. The sad thing is that it's an absolutely miraculous tool with a potential beyond your imagination, but if it's not CAREFULLY designed for your advantage , it literally CRIPPLES your potential. Doing Personal Development with technology actively working against your interests ? Forget about it. YOUR ATTENTION IS BEING CONSISTENTLY RAPED . TAKE THIS SERIOUSLY!! YOU CAN NOT EMPHASIZE ENOUGH HOW INSIDIOUS TECHNOLOGY IS BY DEFAULT I have a long list that I will slowly share. Feel free to contribute if your idea has not been mentioned yet and you think it deserves to be on here. Do's and Don'ts. Tips ands tricks. What to block / eliminate. What to invest in what to install. Let's do it .

Technology is giga-hyper-stimulating as it is. Make it a habit to use black-and-white mode on both your smartphone and PC (Android has this built-in--look it up). I've been using it for about a week, and the difference is truly noticeable. Captivating colors are one of the main ways technology hijacks your attention. Going grayscale turbocharges your focus, especially if you spend a lot of time surfing the web or using social media for work. It’s like a spacesuit for your attention span. (It takes a moment to get used to--expect some withdrawal symptoms from fewer dopamine spikes.) --- Control + Windows + C is the default command to enable black-and-white mode on Windows (you may need to enable the shortcut first). To Enable Grayscale Mode Quickly on Windows: Ensure the shortcut Ctrl + Windows + C is enabled. Here’s the fastest way: Open Settings: Press Windows + I to open the Settings app. Navigate to Color Filters: Go to Ease of Access → Color Filters. Enable the Shortcut: Turn on the toggle for "Allow the shortcut key to toggle filter on or off" (located under the color filter options). Activate Grayscale Mode: Use Ctrl + Windows + C to toggle grayscale mode on or off instantly. --- To Enable Grayscale Mode Quickly on Mac: Open System Settings: Click the Apple menu in the top-left corner and select System Settings (or System Preferences on older versions). Go to Accessibility: Navigate to Accessibility → Display (under the Vision section). Enable Grayscale Mode: Turn on "Color Filters", then select Grayscale from the filter options. Optional: Keyboard Shortcut for Grayscale Mode: macOS doesn’t have a default shortcut, but you can create one: Go to System Settings → Keyboard → Shortcuts → Accessibility. Add a custom shortcut for toggling Color Filters. Once configured, toggling grayscale mode becomes as seamless as pressing a shortcut! 😊 Let me know how you like it!

Thanks for recommending Eternal Depth🙏 I've been listening to Lo-fi or 40hz bineural beats for focus and drowning out noise but this is next level! I don't share your musical taste though haha

Make a habit of whenever you want to control your horniness , excitement or anxiety ( can be confused with horniness) , to say to yourself mentally " I am here " , to get yourself very in touch with the present moment , aware of your current emotions and behavior. Whenever a mental picture of reaching for online content appears, ground yourself in the present moment and in the worst case immediately distract yourself with something else ( pick a healthy distraction if possible) . Make sure to use this method as well to stop fantasizing and reminding / thinking about porn, as it can trigger you into giving in.

Don't worry about overdoing fapping; at least it's natural and doesn't fry your dopamine circuits. If it keeps you off online content, then it's worth it. Imperfect consistent progress is better than perfect progress followed by backsliding. The cycle of abstinence followed by binge is actually a more insidious use than regular use in some cases, as the reward system is activated stronger than ever, solidifying the cycle of cue → thinking of reward (pre-spikes dopamine to incentivize taking action) → behavior → reward.
