What the hell did I just read?

Just used one today to finish listening to a YouTube video while I was in the shower. It’s not a “bathroom” speaker per se, just a pretty nice Bluetooth one, Anker Soundcore Boost, with enough volume to rise above the white noise of the shower and ventilation fan.

Personal: right now I have 6 open. I might get up to 15-20 if I’m going down a rabbithole of some sort.

On a side note, Windows 11 finally put in an option to go back to normal Windows taskbar buttons so I can actually read tab titles from the taskbar:

Work (software engineer): sometimes dozens if I’m deep in the weeds with loads of reference pages open/etc.

Elden Ring. I tried it again after bouncing off in 2022. So glad I did. Absolutely massive, dense world to explore and beautiful art direction

Frikkin’ awesome

Barbaric

It’s literally just repeating a phrase in your mind over and over again, i.e. basic concentration meditation, except a mantra instead of your breath (or whatever object you prefer).

The only “secret” is how effectively they part gullible people from their money.

You want the TM experience? PayPal me $2,000 and I’ll give you a “special” mantra phrase (chosen just for you by a 14th century reincarnated spirit and/or ouija board and/or monkey throwing a dart at the wall) and you can go nuts with it.

Not trying to make fun of anyone, but TM is your classic, boring scam/cult. I’m sure you can find their “secret” mantras if you google hard enough. It’s baloney wrapped in mysticism with some TM-funded studies to lend more credibility. Truth is, meditation – of any form – is generally good for your mind and body. There are hundreds of meditation techniques, they all serve to soothe the nervous system, concentrate the mind, and/or bring mindful awareness.

Definitely not worth paying for. If you want to do it, just pick a phrase “peace”, “relax”, whatever, and silently repeat it to yourself for 20 minutes. That’s all they’re doing.

Very interesting; thank you

Good idea

Annoying on many levels

I feel you. The Network Effect is real, and the niche subreddits need a HUGE overall userbase to work at all.

The total population of Lemmy + Kbin is about the size of a medium size city subreddit.

I’m staying here for now. I sometimes cheat and browse reddit not-logged-in. I don’t know what the answer is.

as our menu options recently changed

They’ve ALWAYS changed… 😭

It was my first thought too

“ESA survey showed” – not exactly an unbiased report

I have memories of buddies in college being SUPER into it. I was never very good. But it still stands out to this day as a game with a unique feeling of speed and motion and control.
