I have never tried meditation intentionally, but I've probably reached a similar state through relaxation. You've piqued my curiosity so I'll look into it, thank you
People have said to relax your face and jaw. Take it a step further and relax your tongue from the roof of your mouth. It sounds silly, but I found it works for me.
That was a tip from the other site I saw years ago, and now if I'm tired and have 15 minutes I can usually grab a power nap by keeping this in mind.
Further, nobody willingly leaves the military at 19 years. 20 years and you get retirement pay for the rest of your life--19 gets you nothing.
Maybe he had a medical retirement, which is fully possible for any number of reasons, but...
Probably he did something egregious to get kicked out at 19 years. Leaders will often let servicemembers near 20 years retire when they're guilty of wrongdoing (in consideration of the many years served beforehand). To cut short a retirement career is to make an example of a person for doing something awful.
Edit: He was still active duty and stationed in Germany, making my whole comment moot. My bad. That's what I get for not reading the article before commenting ¯(ツ)_/¯
I think the birth of Hitler is an easy choice. But I wouldn't be surprised to learn that eliminating some earlier event could both right another wrong and negate Hitler's existence.
Aside from that there's the existence of the internet, which I'm not sure has been an overall benefit to humankind. I think about this often.
China would rather blame it on people eating weird shit than admit any fuckups. The Chinese government is NOT working in the interest of all humanity, and often not for its own population's well-being either.
Obliviously junking up a scenic area with equipment for an extended period of time, and no doubt expecting exclusive space to do so qualifies in my book. May all the dogs shit on this level of entitlement.
Quality was mentioned, but I'll add my view. Most everything is disposable now, whether you go with the upgraded option or not. Everyday items, cars, houses, tools, services...we're surrounded by junk.
At Boeing the bean counters took over, look at them now. Most other corporations are doing the same, just with lower stakes.
It's not just stuff--it's interaction too. People are so hooked on throwaway videos, social media, etc that our collective attention span has severely diminished since the internet took hold. I was reading a book recently, and one of the characters described using a tactic of keeping another character off balance in conversation to gain an advantage over them. I feel like this is being done to all of us on the grand scale, intentionally or not.
What I've learned is that these trends will continue until we do something about it. I try to bring what quality and value I can to those around me, pass on what wisdom I've gained, and be a good influence. Even to strangers when possible. It's up to us to carry and keep the torch lit.
It's going to take a lot of convincing for me to see Sam as a leader. I'm hoping the movie will accomplish that without just shoehorning him into situations to make decisions (which is how this episode felt for me).
I want to get onboard with Sam being the new Cap, but so far I still see him as a solid team member rather than leading it.
Yeah Presence was a rough patch for the band. Plant had a car wreck in '75 that put him in a wheelchair for awhile, which killed part of the Physical Graffiti tour and put a damper on Presence. Then Plant lost his son a few years later.
Twilight is a great way to describe it. I think they peaked as a group leading up to the accident in '75. The Earl's Court '75 performance is my favorite because they're so tight, they were lightning captured. It's bittersweet to watch knowing they would never get that back shortly afterward.
I hope this is fake somehow, otherwise Steve has put his own house on the verge of collapse. And if it happens, she won't remember complaining about the unsightly pipes running under the joists.
I agree, most of the time spent now in the original Silo feels slow, like filler. It seems like they're stretching out Juliette's storyline for some reason. Doesn't make for a fun watch at the moment.
I fail to see any logic with anyone interviewed. They knew things would be worse for Palestine and Lebanon with the donvict, they know they personally may face hardship as a consequence of the election. They know they were duped.
But they wanted to punish Democrats and Harris particularly. Does that satisfaction make the rest of the shit sandwich taste good?
