What the hell did I just read?
Just used one today to finish listening to a YouTube video while I was in the shower. It’s not a “bathroom” speaker per se, just a pretty nice Bluetooth one, Anker Soundcore Boost, with enough volume to rise above the white noise of the shower and ventilation fan.
Personal: right now I have 6 open. I might get up to 15-20 if I’m going down a rabbithole of some sort.
On a side note, Windows 11 finally put in an option to go back to normal Windows taskbar buttons so I can actually read tab titles from the taskbar:
Work (software engineer): sometimes dozens if I’m deep in the weeds with loads of reference pages open/etc.
It’s literally just repeating a phrase in your mind over and over again, i.e. basic concentration meditation, except a mantra instead of your breath (or whatever object you prefer).
The only “secret” is how effectively they part gullible people from their money.
You want the TM experience? PayPal me $2,000 and I’ll give you a “special” mantra phrase (chosen just for you by a 14th century reincarnated spirit and/or ouija board and/or monkey throwing a dart at the wall) and you can go nuts with it.
Not trying to make fun of anyone, but TM is your classic, boring scam/cult. I’m sure you can find their “secret” mantras if you google hard enough. It’s baloney wrapped in mysticism with some TM-funded studies to lend more credibility. Truth is, meditation – of any form – is generally good for your mind and body. There are hundreds of meditation techniques, they all serve to soothe the nervous system, concentrate the mind, and/or bring mindful awareness.
Definitely not worth paying for. If you want to do it, just pick a phrase “peace”, “relax”, whatever, and silently repeat it to yourself for 20 minutes. That’s all they’re doing.
Very interesting; thank you
Good idea
Annoying on many levels
I feel you. The Network Effect is real, and the niche subreddits need a HUGE overall userbase to work at all.
The total population of Lemmy + Kbin is about the size of a medium size city subreddit.
I’m staying here for now. I sometimes cheat and browse reddit not-logged-in. I don’t know what the answer is.
as our menu options recently changed
They’ve ALWAYS changed… 😭
It was my first thought too
“ESA survey showed” – not exactly an unbiased report
I have memories of buddies in college being SUPER into it. I was never very good. But it still stands out to this day as a game with a unique feeling of speed and motion and control.
What are you trying to tell me? That I can dodge bullets?
You think that’s air you’re breathing?
Nice. Definitely check out the Hitman series and the Dishonored series if you love stealth
Could be some truth to that. Half-Life 3 would be very hard to live up to at this point…
