  • Having thoughts isn’t an issue. The issue is engaging with the thought.

    You’re sitting there meditating. Then your head goes “hey, I gotta pay my insurance bill”

    And then you go, “oh yeah, the insurance bill. For my car. Do I need to change the oil yet? Oh no, I have another like 800 miles to go. What’s 800 miles from here? Cleveland? Man, that LeBron really has some longevity”

    Or instead, you could go “I’m meditating”. No judgment though, just point it out. Just note that a thought occurred and redirect your attention to the fact that you’re meditating and to your breath or whatever else. Another thought will come up shortly thereafter. You can just redirect again.

    Which is totally fine, in case you’re wondering. Speaking Spanish like a gringo is so much better than speaking English loudly and slowly and occasionally sneaking in a word like “cerveza” or saying “mi casa su casa” lol. It’s great that you’re making an effort to learn — y espero que el aprendizaje sea divertido! :)



  • Being included in IARC group 2B seems quite unimportant and not newsworthy. It’s just because everything related to artificial sweeteners always makes headlines.

    Here are some other members of IARC’s group 2B: shampoos and lotions containing coconut oil; aloe vera extract; nickel and nickel alloys; coffee and red wine (due to caffeic acid — unrelated to caffeine); thyme and sage (also caffeic acid).

    To that, add occupational exposures related to working in carpentry; working in dry cleaning; working as a firefighter; working in textile manufacturing.





  • I ‘adopted’ a cute femboy

    I thought you were talking about a person

    fox

    I thought you were talking about an animal and describing it in an adorable and unique way

    who came to SF at the beginning of pride month to experience a new city and life and cheer up from their depression

    I realized you were talking about a person


  • No it doesn’t. There is no contradiction there. You’re talking nonsense.

    Do you know how Goebbels infamously described the Weimar Republic’s attitude towards the Nazi Party?

    Essentially, if you’re not familiar, Goebbels was quoted as saying something along the lines of “I have no idea why they allowed us to exist in their system and take power. It should have been obvious that as soon as we gained power, we’d use that power to dismantle the system and ban the traditional parties from politics. Anyone with half a brain would have realized that and banned us first.” Then he cackled like a witch.

    Ok I made up the part about the cackle.
