Can we have a conversation about indie authors and "smut"?
  • Yes, we are in an artistic lull (for what is popular lately).

    …Yet still, some artists stay true on the path and create something cleaner and healthy… today… Honest and Brave.

    That is the actual Liberation.

    Have any of you been able to reconnect with your inner child?
  • Yes - and I think connecting with your soul again means having real authentic fun.

    Doing what you feel is right, and what you fully love to do.

    Hypothesis: Insufficient moderation tools lead to instance protectionism, which leads to a decline in the overall discussion quality on Lemmy
  • The ultimate method is:

    Cultivate your own ‘Subscribed’ feed.

    Then almost every post is good.

    You choose your own level of involvement.

    Manifesting is just like praying. In both you strongly wish something to happen
  • A friendly thought for you:

    If your beliefs can change your body (which is part of the universe), and your changed body can further change the universe...

    then transitively... your beliefs can change the universe, right?

    And if that is true, then perhaps belief can be more than a placebo... Maybe it is a real, effective, psychological muscle.

    Manifesting is just like praying. In both you strongly wish something to happen
  • Be honest:

    Who do you think is more likely to hit the game-winning free-throw?

    • a guy who looks at the hoop thinking “aw crap I’m gonna airball, and everyone is gonna laugh at me”
    • a guy who looks at the hoop thinking “okay I’m gonna swish this, and my whole team is going to celebrate”

    Many top-achievers describe the power of visualizing success (positive manifestation).

    Many people who pray are cultivating healthy virtues (patience, kindness, strength).

    Have you ever heard the term “self-fulfilling prophecy”?

  • Hold strong and stay true to your principles…

    They need us more than we need them.

    Great audiobook narrations?
  • Voice is the most important factor for audiobooks.

    One narrator with a great voice is Tom Parker (aka Grover Gardner).

    Here is his reading of The Dharma Bums (on youtube).

    Anybody who gained muscle and lost weight(fat), how did you do it?
  • What lifts are you doing?

    If you focus on compound lifts (bench, chin-ups, squats), and push them to your limit, you will burn an insane amount of calories.

    • Hey - a lot of lifters would love to be in your position (you already have additional mass to convert to muscle!)

    As for losing weight - my buddy lost 35lbs in 6 months, just by eating paleo (all natural foods).

    On top of that, if you go for a full-sprint every day (or a mile jog), it will kick your metabolism into another gear.
