I will feel the person's anger more and more strongly as the distance between us decreases. The person doesn't need to outwardly show any sign of anger for me to feel it - they can appear perfectly calm but if they are angry, I'll feel it.

When I interact with people, I don't try to put myself in their shoes. I've known for many years that I can sense other people's strong emotions, so I mostly focus my awareness on how I'm feeling and use that as a sense. If how I'm feeling changes spontaneously (not caused by my mental focus, thoughts, or reaction) when I'm interacting with someone, I'll know that I'm sensing something from the other person.

My experience of other people's anger is different from when I feel angry. I experience other people's anger as a very uncomfortable sensation my abdomen and solar plexus. It's similar to when I feel angry but I'm more detached and I'm observing the uncomfortable sensation, which is mostly localized to my solar plexus. When I'm angry, my thoughts and emotions are fully engaged, my anger has a direction, and I feel it fully in my body. Like, "I'm experiencing anger vs I'm angry."

When I experience someone else's anger, it's not directed at the object of their anger - it's just a sensation.

So if someone is angry at me, I don't feel angry at myself - I just feel their anger being directed at me

The way I believe it works is through resonance. Have a look at this video that illustrates it with wine glasses: https://youtu.be/lTl0badhh8Y

People are like wine glasses that vibrate how they are feeling and if someone is capable of resonating with them, they begin to feel it too.

If my baseline feeling is far from anger (I'm feeling a strong positive emotion), I'll feel other people's negative emotions less, or not at all.

If you’re talking about lucid dreaming, try looking at your hands or to read some text.

Could be based on the expression “Cat got your tongue?” (Except he swallowed the cat after)

I've cleared entries before with efibootmgr.

My favourite games from childhood were the Ultima series (3 onward).

I’ve done this recently twice and it worked between 2 different distros on different hardware. I don’t remember if I had to link it again, but if I did, it worked and my history was intact.

Good to see you're back!

Nice job with the update.

I appreciate the offer but I've tried being a mod in the past and have come to realize I'm just not suited for it.

Ok, good to know, thanks!

It doesn’t seem likely to be a browser addon because if it were, I’d expect it to have the same effect on other sites and I don’t get logged out after 1 week on any other accounts.

I’ll see if the same thing happens when I log in on a different Firefox profiles and browsers.

 

Is anyone else getting logged out of their accounts after about a week when logged in on a desktop web browser? (I'm using Firefox) I don't have this issue on mobile with Voyager.

Is there a way of staying logged in indefinitely?

If this is a setting, the inconvenience of needing to re-login gives users an incentive to weaken their security because users will try to make logging in less of a hassle (like disabling 2FA).

Nice username!

Mentally, I sidestep the meaning issue by thinking,

spoiler"the lyrics are in a language unknown to humans, used by souls in Elysium" since parts of the melody and vocals start as Maximus is dying and the song starts after he has died.

It would be cool to hear a Latin version, though. I wonder how that would have changed how the song sounded and whether I would have enjoyed it as much.

Some interesting interviews:

Zimmer on working with Gerrard.

In an interview, she says that the words she comes up with are an automatic response to the music and each piece of music has its own language.

 

Remastered version

One of my favorite songs.

 

From the game Serious Sam: The First Encounter.

A variation of it from Serious Sam 3: BFE - Boss Fight Strings

 

Variations:

Vita Nostra

River

 

When I was a kid, Conan the Barbarian was my favorite movie.

A large part of that was the epic soundtrack. There are a number of tracks on it I think would fit here and I'll eventually post others but this was my favorite.

Favorite parts:

  • 2:13 vocals start
  • Trumpets at 3:24

Basil Poledouris took inspiration from the Carmina Burana by Carl Orff when creating the Conan soundtrack. The CB is epic as well and is worth a listen. Most people are probably already familiar with the opening movement (O Fortuna).

The video has good points, though it also has lots of photos and clips of centipedes that aren’t house centipedes, some of which are venomous and can definitely hurt humans.

Even if they’re harmless, I’d find it unnerving to have them around because I’d worry about whether one could have wandered under my sheets or into a shoe. If I see one in the basement I’d leave it alone, but if I saw one in my bedroom or bathroom, that’s a dead bug brah.

 

The answer to this would be good to include in the sidebar so people would have a better idea what’s ok to post.

Epic music is its own genre, but it can also be used to describe music more broadly - music from other genres that evokes a feeling of awe or other strong emotion.

The, uh, other place’s epic music community describes it this way:

“Music that speaks to the soul either lyrically, melodically, instrumentally, aurally, rhythmically, vocally, technologically, emotionally, temporally, or in some other profound way.” (a broad definition that would encompass multiple genres)

What kind of music would you like this community to focus on?

EDIT:

I just came across ascallion's post on !newcommunities@lemmy.world from 2 months ago where they described it as Cinematic music that speaks to the soul.

That description answers my question.

 

This isn’t something I know how to create, so tossing the idea out for those who might know how to implement it.

The bot would detect Amazon links here and automatically create a comment in the post with a ca.camelcamelcamel.com link for the product.

This would let readers easily check the price history of the product to know if the current sale is a good one.

The same (or a different bot) could also link to fakespot (or some other review checker) for the product.

 

From the video description:

The division of OM into A-U-M originated in the ancient Mandukya Upanishad where the three letters represent three states of experience – waking, dream, and sleep. But rules of Sanskrit grammar require the letters A and U to combine into the letter O.

According to the rules of sandhi (euphonic combination), the letter a followed by u must combine to form o. They can never remain side by side. For this reason, to say that om has three letters, aum, is incorrect. The Mandukya Upanishad's represented OM as A-U-M for symbolic purposes, not for pronunciation or writing.

Sanskrit vowels are generally short (hasra) or long (dirgha). But the o of om is prolated, that means it's extra long, it is three units (pluta) in duration. So, om is properly pronounced with an extra long o, om.

 

As an example:

On Voyager it shows that the person who created that post is gergolippal@mastadon.social and community name is nathanwpyle.

If you view the post in a browser, the community has the display name “Strange Planet by Nathan W. Pyle” and the post was created by “gergo”.
