When men talk

[geekballin]

Lately that’s been fairly accurate 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

It doesn’t bother me anymore if a guy stops talking to me—I more than likely have already lost interest long before it’s caught up to them 🤷🏻‍♀️😜

(…) the goal isn't just to think about thinking, but to continuously observe how thoughts arise and pass without getting caught up in them. Buddhism views the mind not as a static "I," but as an ever-changing flow of events.

Here is how it breaks down:

The Core Principles

Continuous Observation: Instead of overthinking the content of your thoughts, Buddhist practice invites you to observe the nature of the mind. This continuous meta-awareness acts as a natural space between you and your thoughts.

Thoughts are Not "You": The Buddha taught that we are not the creators or the owners of our thoughts. They simply arise from unconscious conditions and pass away, much like weather patterns move across the sky.

The "Observer": When a thought is witnessed clearly and dispassionately, unconscious identification with it is broken. Awareness illuminates what is happening in the present moment without adding anything new.

The Role of Mindfulness (Sati)

In modern terms, this is highly developed metacognition, but with a profound spiritual distinction: it is "metacognition without a cognizer". Mindfulness is practiced in all daily activities—not just formal meditation—to notice the very first stirrings of unwholesome states like anger or greed before they solidify.

Within the next decade this will be considered an antique--an ancient artifact. The 20th century is perhaps the best time in human history. The next 2-3 years is going to challenge every notion of normalcy. Nothing--and I mean nothing--will ever be the same....

Close to home/Mountain out of mole hill

I'm only about 50 miles from Garden Grove, and my sister and brother in a law are about 10 miles away from the chemical tank that it's in danger of igniting.

Everyone is in a panic, but I haven't actually heard what the danger is exactly. What chemicals are leaking exactly?

I'll answer it--It's called MMA (methyl methacrylate). It's the chemicals used to make palstics, aircraft components, resins etc.

The danger? It's extremely volatile. But it's not radition--not even in the slightest.

The danger is due to MMA's ineherent volatility and the inability to accurately predict what would happen if it actually explodes.

So the news is doing what it does best---sensationalizing something that is not nearly as dangerous as they're portraying it.

MMA is an organic compound and that polymerizes into PMMA. It's monomer almost looks like a carbohydrate (it's not....but they're very similar).

This will not cause health issues if it ignites. This catastrophizing is honestly exhausting 🙄
