Ooh, cool! I remember making offerings too, but it was to change the weather and stuff like that. Sounds extra fun to go to an abandoned lot for that, more mysterious and spooky 😄

I use F-droid, it’s FOSS apps only. It’s great, but unfortunately I stil have to use play store for non-FOSS apps.

Everybody made witch soups when they were children, right? There is nothing more fun 🍲

Just a simple example I googled:

• Sit in a quiet, comfortable place.
• Set a short time limit if you’re a beginner (e.g., 5–10 minutes).
• Focus on your breath and notice bodily sensations.
• Gently return your focus to your breath when distractions occur.

With body sensations, you can focus on the taste in your mouth for a minute, then switch to sounds you hear, how your fingertips feel etc. I usually close my eyes to better focus on each sensation. Just relax and gently observe what you experience right now.

I agree 100%. It’s a shame, because pretty much everyone would benefit from just trying to meditate once in a while.

These are some of the most common problems people seek therapy for, and there are several methods therapists teach to address these, such as meditation and mindfulness. It takes practice, but they have a lot of potential to help with intrusive, snowballing thoughts. You can practice anytime and mostly anywhere, but doing it is the hard part.

Awesome! The one thing I miss from Reddit is alt the dog related subs and content, thank you so much for taking over, may this community finally thrive!

What’s your location? I usually buy from ExtraOptical, happy with them.

No, then you are the Toronto airport. Which the song title refers to.

It takes practice, but it can be a game changer in a relationship.

Or you could do the same most of my friends with degree in physics did, take 1. year study in IT and have plenty of employers and projects to choose from.

I misread, my bad. Good for you 👍

I’ve done a lot of these steps, but when I tried FOSS keyboard app my bank’s app refused to work because the keyboard was"insecure", accepted Google keyboard only 🤡

Not sure it’s a good idea to recommend Arch Linux to newbies migrating from Windows; maybe prioritize Mint or similar?

True, but you have to play via standard client as far as I know, which sucks in my opinion. RuneLite is much, much better.

Old school RuneScape

Thought it said “Debian” for a second. Both work I guess 🤔

It depends on how you feel. For instance, I have a few friends that are born in Norway, but their parents are Vietnamese. Those friends would always described themselves as Vietnamese while in Norway; they are a part of that community, their ancestry is important to them etc. While traveling abroad however, they would say they are Norwegian. The context is different, and citizenship is more relevant. Some of them have lived several places, but their roots and citizenship were the most important pieces of nationalidentity to them.

Myself I’m an immigrant. I don’t tell people I don’t really know what county I came from; it’s private and not relevant. If people ask me (not abroad), they usually mean my accent is off, which is rude.

Why did Norway get it’s own percentage? 🤔

It’s so funny, because in my case airdrying is one of the worst solutions. My hair gets very frizzy and flat while still curly. What I have to do instead is to immediately lie down with wet hair and kinda squish it against the pillow. When I wake up in the morning it’s voluminous and mostly not frizzy.
