    I am, in general, far more concerned with appreciating and experiencing nature in the moment than I am with documentation of it.

    My wife is the opposite, very “pics or it didn’t happen.”

    This is very clearly reflected in the quality of the pictures we take.

    @credeiki I was in the lobby waiting for the leasing agent to hook me up with the app that lets you into the building (you can do nfc with phone or facial recognition or a regularly changed pin or whatever). And this other resident is walking by and starts telling me he doesn’t recommend using the recognition feature, how he’s ex-IT and NO ONE will get his biometrics, that’s why he didn’t join the army.

    It immediately made me think of you.

    Hmm I definitely was not here during the lady who smells parkinson's controversy but I am quite sure I would have called bullshit immediately.

    After doing some reading, she did in fact accurately detect people with parkinson's in some sort of trial using ... 12 people. This also lead researchers to isolate compounds in sebum of Parkinson's patients that is different. They however did not go back and use those sebum to see if the lady could smell them.

    I would call it serendipitous but not necessarily mechanistic or causal.

    I think yoga probably helps a lot with people who have issues with general anxiety because its focusing techniques are analogous to the same ones clinical psychotherapists use to treat the same issues

    I, on the other hand, suffer from periodic flare-ups of depression related to a long history of familial abuse that I’m already medicated for, go to weekly therapy to treat, and have even undergone experimental TMS treatments to minimize.

    So when I tell someone—who is a medical person, to boot—that the reason I haven’t been up for hangouts lately is because I’m too busy intoxicating myself into a stupor to prevent acting on impulses of self-harm, “Have ya tried yoga or seeing someone about eating magic dirt?” seems . . . childish, I guess? Unserious? Decidedly it felt insulting, even though I know it wasn’t intended as such.

    I not convinced until I place the hospital cat on an elderly person and they drop dead immediately. Then we know the cat really knows who is about to die.

    Most of the CBT methods of dealing with anxiety and depression could’ve easily been right out of a mindfulness meditation guidebook with a very changes in terminology

    Interesting article about the lady who claimed she was asked to delete covid data from the Florida databases:

    https://cbs12.com/news/local/ousted-dashboard-designers-claims-dont-add-up-former-colleagues-and-experts-say

    Tl;dr: there would be no reason to ask her to do that, she didn't even have access to the raw data in the first place, and she has never provided any proof any such thing happened. The only thing she was in charge of was building the dashboard.

    Yeah and I can’t do any psychedelics because they make my DPDR worse and they’re contraindicated by my depression meds.

    Ah. Well there goes that.

    Also the times I’ve tried LSD and mushrooms I had just a miserable fucking time

    I don’t want to be high for hours on end, and those aren’t fun or relaxing kinds of high

  • VishNubVishNub Registered User regular
    Never tried either so 🤷‍♂️

    I was mostly making a dumb joke. Sorry!

    A bunch of unsourced anonymous quotes from people who were presumably just fine with how Florida handled the pandemic

    Also there's this:
    WPEC is a FL based station and a CBS Television affiliate owned and operated by Sinclair Broadcast Group.

    Nice try though

    As I am coasting through the fourth decade of my life, I wish I had taken more pictures at certain times in my life. I took a LOT of photos during my senior year of undergrad and my first two years of medical school. I look back on those photos now and feel a lot of joy and happiness. The years when I didn't take many pictures are just a blur to me.

    I might throw in for getting one of those lifeblogging cams or something. Not to wear all the time, but just to throw on when I'm doing fun things so I can be in the moment while still having a visual record of those fun times.

    A lot of hallucinogens are receiving a ton of hype despite evidence still being very much mixed and should be treated with care like basically any other drug

    I have done mushrooms an embarrassing amount of times

    i found them very useful for confronting ego and calling ones own bullshit and, once you have those introspective strategies, you never really need to do them again

    the other 45 or so times was because for a moment in my life i liked feeling like i was melting

    I've never done shrooms or acid

    With both I've been told if you fight it you're probably going to have a really bad time

    And my brain's reaction to pretty much all drugs is to fight tooth and nail so

    I prefer less documentation of the past rather than more, it makes it easier for me to jump universes by exploiting the Mandela Effect

    Peak bagging?

    Making a list of hills and then ticking them all off it as you walk up them

    There are Munros, Donalds, Grahams, and Marilyns depending on which list you use and the scope of your ambitions

    This is a list of Corbett mountains in Scotland by height. Corbetts are defined as Scottish mountains between 2,500–3,000 feet (762.0–914.4 m) in height with a prominence over 500 feet (152.4 m);[1] solely imperial measurement thresholds.[2][3]

    The first list was compiled in the 1920s by John Rooke Corbett, a Bristol-based climber and Scottish Mountaineering Club ("SMC") member, and was published posthumously, after his sister passed it to the SMC, in the 1953 edition of Munro's Tables.[2][4] Corbetts are the next category down from the Munros and Munro Tops in terms of height (e.g. below the 3,000 feet (914.4 m) threshold), but their explicit prominence threshold of 500 feet (152 m), ensure they are material peaks.[2] By definition, all Corbetts, given their prominence, are Marilyns.[5] The SMC keeps a list of Corbetts.[1]

    As of October 2018, there were 222 Corbetts in Scotland.[6] 21 of these 222 Corbetts have a prominence that exceeds the P600 threshold of 600 metres (1,969 ft), which would class them as "Majors".[6] The highest Corbett, Beinn a' Chlaidheimh, at 914 metres (2,999 ft) is just below the threshold for a Munro, a status it held until it was demoted in 2012 based on new surveys;[7] it ranks as the 478th highest mountain in the British Isles, on the Simms classification.[6] The Corbett with the greatest prominence is Goat Fell at 874 metres (2,867 ft), which ranks it as the 16th most prominent mountain in the British Isles.[6]

    Is this just like, a common term, or in-group jargon?
