In Belgium we have a "career break". 6 months, only condition is to be employed in the company for one year if I recall correctly. Employer can not refuse. You also get paid basic allocations similar to unemployment, unlike this s

Garbage content in my opinion is mindless, soulless content created by content farms. Which in a way is what YouTube encourages through their advertising business. Same issue with low quality results in search engines due to all the content

Manual selection doesn't bode well. I like to watch spiritual and metaphysical talks, Papaji, Eckhart Tolle, Conscious TV, Rupert Spira and the like. I don't want someone to tell me what's "true" or what's &quo

I like that it seems heavily based on the watch history because it gives me some control. In general I find the selction on the homepage to be useful, however it does take some work as I regularly remove a lot of random things. I also open

The article also reminded me about Simulacra and Simulation https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Simulacra_and_Simulation How what we create ends up shaping us. For example, what we think of "reality" today, is the

If she can afford it talk therapy is what she would really benefit from. Unfortunately talk therapy is expensive. You can NOT change her. She will reach out eventually, or she won't. Believing "I'll never be cured" is it

Maybe readers will enjoy this related post from Bernardo Kastrup. It may argue the point better, or not. I can't argue myself as it's too obvious for me. It's a unwinnable argument in my opinion, since it drives right into wh

Feeling a slump early afternoon after midday meal is not anecdotal evidence, it's biology. edit: At least, it's a common issue that people have . A simple google search for "afternoon slump" reveals tons of related artic

Monday morning off sounds like an awful idea. First off, even when I lack sleep, I'll function better in the morning if I force myself out of bed, and I'll have a big slump in the afternoon. If I sleep in instead to supposedly cat

The VMSVGA for linux guests sounds awesome, since they previously removed 3D support for "linux guests using Wayland".. ie. Ubuntu 18.10. Can any linux experts here explain briefly what is required to get this VMSVGA support? (win

Episode 4 on how we are surrounded by images of "alternate ways of life" is amazing... it's like "taking the red pill" in the Matrix. So much things we take for granted, never even question, taht we take to be the &

I think for this "intensive" approach to therapy the quality of presence and non-judgemental approach of the therapist is really key for it to be effective. This is easier said than done. It's quite common to have therapists

I was going to mention those 10 day courses. While I find the idea of a prison a bit silly, the 10 day courses come with a heavy load of tradition, more or less mandatory 1hour talk everyday, and at least 2-" h of mandatory (in the hal

Pranayama is typically fast breathing, and sometimes continuous in/out breathing. it's very different from the 4x4 breathing mentioned in this thread. I am healing trauma and my experience with pranayama is that it doesn't he

I think a lot of people can feel how these apps affect their wellbeing. But how do we clearly state what the issue is, is a more difficult question. For me this brings a larger topic that has to do with software development... any maybe it

Thank you. Could you mention a brand that I could look into and compare to what I was taking? And what are they sourced from (those that you took?). It's winter soon so I guess I could give it another go.

I can't say I noticed a change in mood when taking D3. However fish oil undeniably reduces dryness in the EYES, with and without contact lenses. They do sell in pharmacy supplements for eye health, I think targeted at older people, and

It's funny because it's like science is catching up to Buddhism's "karma" concept, as well as their philosophy on interdependence. Essentially, emphasizing the illusion of "independence" and how we are act

The simulation hypothesis is pretty much a materialist's way of postponing the "hard problem of consciousness". It's like Neo when he escaped the Matrix only to find himself in the subterranean world. What if THAT world

Sounds great, but why bother with the added work supporting IE11 if Vue 2.x can be used with IE11? Especially that time continues to fly until 3.x is released, and IE11 is replaced with EDGE already. edit: I am guessing this has to do with

As usual maybe it is wiser to take the good parts from different approaches, rather than going "all in" with one ideology / methodology. For my sites I find it useful to have a small collection of very generic classes. One co
