In central america at least they call these suicide showers. They’re really common in low end hostels / cabinas.

She herself seemed to lack this sort of nuance. She refused to play in Israel, for example, effectively accusing and dismissing an entire nation as oppressors.
I suspect she was, deep down, not a particularly reflective person. We all know people like these. Feel a feeling, act on it immediately, and maaaybe consider the implications and consequences later. Maybe. Or just double down, and never dare to truly look at yourself in the mirror.
It’s unfortunate because these types of people also sometimes turn out to be incredible artists. I assume it’s the combination of talent plus the ability (/curse?) to experience raw feelings much more strongly than the rest of us.
Also looks like the Climate Action Incentive (i.e. carbon tax) got paid out this week.
Same, but I switched to an iPhone. It was an annoying adjustment for a few months but now I’d never go back. Great hardware, but Samsung’s software is an almost comical mess, and they seem to have zero awareness of how bad they are at it.
Does something like mindfulness help at all with this?
I’ve found that — with my ostensibly“normal” brain, at least — regularly practicing mindfulness meditation can be really helpful in getting through physically, emotionally, or perceptually difficult moments. It’s a practiced skill that helps take the edge off what would otherwise be overwhelming experiences.
I wonder if this is a practice that could also be helpful for people like yourself?
Other than fruit (a seed dispersal mechanism), most “food” doesn’t actually want to be eaten.
A good way to protect yourself from being eaten is to become poisonous.
We’ve evolved ways to become immune to some of those poisons, or more recently, we’ve bred plants to be less poisonous.
Chances are those 1,700 were some of our best and the 30,000 incoming are mostly junior / helpdesk / support people.
I couldn’t disagree more. The writing is absolute cringe.
For some reason I assumed Asimov would be a good writer, maybe because I read his “Last Question” short story a long time ago and thought it was brilliant.
But Foundation reads like it was written by a teenager. He’s obsessed with describing ghee whiz gadgets and doodads that I couldn’t care less about, the prose is plain and boring, and the themes and characters have not aged well. It feels like I’m watching the Jetsons, except it’s not at all quaint.
I was hoping to be able to look past all this and get lost in the epic scale of the story and universe he purportedly builds, but it just wasn’t there for me.
Genuinely curious: what happens to you internally / how do you feel when you feel overstimulated, as someone with ASD?
👍
Knowing how much effort and dedication it takes to meet your goals, congrats are always in order, no matter how small the achievement.
Pretty sure that’s the moon, not the sun. Looks like a long exposure.
