  1. @Sincerity Well, it turns out the feature is not available yet for us Android peasants.
  2. @Vali2003 I was wondering what kind of (running shoes) footwear would actually be functional or healthy, and why. I've seen some barefoot shoes, and they look kind of funny to me.
  3. Wait, where the hell is that shit? Is it available on Android?
  4. It does enable entire realities. You couldn't be communicating here and exchanging ideas without it. And worse still, there couldn't be videos from Leo We might ask: What is the purpose of language? and dwell on that. But then again, we don't really experience what language itself is, so by asking what its purpose is, we might be putting the cart before the horse.
  5. Sure, though telepathy would still be based on this possibility. For example, what form would telepathy take? Likely some sort of thought-form, which would be enabled by language - at least to a large degree, it seems to me. The very notion of conveying something wouldn't even occur without language.
  6. Decision-making in games tends to be a very limited mechanism anyway. Still, the actions you take can influence the story - low vs high honor. But okay, I give up. You don't haave to like it.
  7. Churrosexual.
  8. 🧐 That reminds me of...
  9. Meh. I don't know. Whatever. -- That was a haiku.
  10. Brave Origin is being worked on. It will be a debloated version of the browser. Free on Linux, likely a paid product on other operating systems, which is kinda funny.
  11. Install the uBlock Origin extension, even on Brave. nooooo I usually install a "distraction-free Youtube" extension on every browser I use that, well, hides the sidebar and removes other crap.
  12. Oh, I didn't know you could do that playlist thing. I'll try it out. Thanks
  13. @Michal__ I would consider talking to a doctor rather than to a language model. And if I may ask, what is your purpose for the retreat?
  14. Apparently not.
  15. Ah, got it.
  16. That could be seen as a matter of keeping one's word.
  17. Do the terms comfort and conformity share etymological roots?
  18. It is profound - the very possibility of language itself, not the content of any particular language. Notice how you hold it as symbols. Without language, how could symbols, science, philosophy, belief, religion, and art exist? They couldn't. No matter how many times it's said, we continue to operate from within a world of language, and so we have a hard time stepping out of it and seeing its true influence.
  19. It seems to me that Brave and Firefox are two of the best options out there. There are also LibreWolf, Waterfox, Vivaldi, and Zen Browser. Thorium for speed. Edge and Chrome may not be the best choices when it comes to privacy and an ad-free experience.
  20. There's PCSX2 and similar software options, too.
  21. Actually, not a doctor, but if you're taking antipsychotics, it might be worth checking for possible contraindications and other considerations. Also, as beneficial as retreats can be, intensive meditation can sometimes be destabilizing. Something to take into account.
  22. @Carl-Richard It's fucking deep. It's huge. That's what she... whatever. I think it ties into the nature of context. And yet we totally take it for granted as a given. Maybe that explains our inability to grasp the magnitude of its influence on our experience. Take away language, and symbol, science, philosophy, belief, religion, art - can't exist.
  23. No model is true; it might be useful, but it is invented, made up.
