1·1 month agoIt’s not news. And arguably this is the type of thing where you benefit from seeing the actual person talking because they have personal experience of what they are talking about. It’s more than just conveying words.
Glad you like it! He’s from a related system (advaita/tantra) so if you know anything of Buddhism, he would sound familiar. He just has stripped away pretty much all of the cultural trappings and focuses purely on the core nondual philosophy and practice.
Also he’s what’s called a “householder”, tantra being primarily a “householder” tradition. Meaning, no sitting alone on mountaintops, it’s realization while engaged with the world.
This is the way.
8·2 months agoI still might buy it (on a hefty sale) but I frankly enjoy the mobility of Rise. Not the dog riding, or riding in general, or dogs (but I get to have an army of cats) but I do like the Wiredash gimmick. Being a Hunting Horn player especially it’s nice to have a gap closer.
I still have World too and judging from what people are saying, I may as well move on (back) to that one once I get bored with Rise.
They used very little AI for minor placeholders and promptly removed them once the intended human-made elements were available. The issue was majorly overblown (because of course it was), and considering it’s not an American triple-A studio, I’m not going to throw out the baby with the bathwater.
Also a good video on the subject: https://youtu.be/xfGfxHEUB1Q
Oooh, i think this will be one of the rare expansions I’ll actually play. This game was easily GOTY for me.
In my case you can remove the “thin veil of professionalism” and put the “my boss” there instead.
But yes.
You do you. But it may have an impact on people looking at your profile. As people in this thread write. But on the other hand you might also attract the attention of someone who is more on the same wavelength as you. It’s up to you to weigh the pros and cons. Do you want to fit in with the inexpressive, professional corporate tone, or do you want to add a bit of color? You can’t please everyone anyway, but it might serve your interests to conform to the expectations of people you DO want to please.
(I’d do it, even though I normally don’t use that many emojis. But I know it annoys some people way more than makes sense by any degree so that’s a good reason UwU)
12·9 months agoNot what I said. I moved my attention to your post instantly. Then I sustained attention to reply.
Does it? I put all my attention on your post and could do so instantly. Sustaining attention of course takes as long a time as it does.
I appreciate that you seem to think that my brain is any better than that an low-effort and low quality idiot but it’s not.
The neurotransmitter person gave a quite confident account about the nature of attention and nature of human psychology. They clearly felt it was relevant to the point I was making. Surely someone like this has an university level degree in the subject and isn’t just a random computer nerd who occasionally consumes some pop-science content online. It makes more sense to me to dip into their reservoir of knowledge instead of making a feeble attempt at reading some AI Summary on the topic.
And what are those? There’s actually a few reasons I’m asking and not just looking it up online.
One of the reasons is that a 5 second search on neurobiology does not give me actual understanding. It just gives me a free-floating data point. And I wouldn’t offer that data point to others because it’s not coming from a place of real understanding.
11·9 months agoOhhhhhhhhh… I know what you mean and I got shivers from the thought.
Rollercoaster of emotions. I’m imagining how it would actually feel like if there was a sensation of fuzziness. And if magically it wouldn’t get clumpy from dirty and oil. In some ways I’d really hate it but I also kinda love that I hate it.
And what are neurotransmitters?
Quite frankly it’s somewhat disturbing that you take a fairly neutral description of an unspecified event as “writing an entire paragraph about how work meetings suck”. You are overlaying a hell of a thought framework of your own onto the text I wrote and then telling me I’m the one with a problem. Ironic really, since you started off saying the world is illiterate.
Attention isn’t always good, being followed around by a person who can’t pick up social cues who wants to give you all of their attention doesn’t feel good
Actually this is kinda what I was thinking when I wrote the last bit. I was specifically thinking about ASMR and how ASMRtists are at risk for unhealthy attention and attachments from people who look at them for hours and hours. However it’s a bit besides my point. Your attention remains valuable to you (one hopes) but obviously unwanted attention is… well, unwanted. There’s a big tangent of course on if someone giving unwanted attention to someone else is really giving their attention to that person, or are they giving their attention to their personal, subjective idea about that person (I’d argue the latter, because I prefer to give attention as a concept a somewhat virtuous vibe - because I want to encourage people to value their attention).
Time matters because it’s a limited resource
So is attention. We can multitask to some degree but sooner or later the plates will start falling. But as I said, you can put a number on time but you can’t give 3.5 attentions to something. For the human mind it’s easier to grasp the idea of “giving time” because you can measure, compare and contrast it*. Attention just is, and it’s extremely subjective specifically because in daily life it’s very hard to know if someone is objectively giving their full attention to something or are they just physically present while engaging with something entirely different in their mind.
Edit: Important of course to note that we can only measure time because we developed a system for it. “10 minutes” doesn’t exist in reality. There’s just things that we observed to behave in certain, predictable ways and we built systems to represent the behavior, like the idea of the 24h clock.
Okay in relation to what?
Socially speaking, people will look at you weird.
Hygienically speaking, a bad idea as constant moisture etc. risks both bacteria and fungal infection.
If you touch things that other people touch with saliva in your hands, you might run into some trouble because again, it’s unhygienic and most people will think it gross.
If you’re cool with all that, you do you but other people don’t have to be cool with you doing that.
