I really love the trolley car problem analogy here. So fitting!

It wasn’t me, I swear!

Well I mean he is much more fun than all the elves…

You can’t expect me not to hop on the AI train, my child.

And so did I.

Not only a giant.

Excellent, you stay on the good list if you keep uo bringing in content to Lemmy and keeping up the good vibes

Naughty list material

Everything was going well until the box I am not a robot had to be checked…

Very good one. It’s the first image on my mind whenever someone says sunset

Instructions unclear. Got my dick caught in a toaster. Again.

I would be a pirate. Because the other word for pirate treasure is Booty. (Beastie boys influence, I guess)

This meme just isn’t metal enough for me ;)

Also, I guess sexual assault victims are oftentimes secretive about it and can (even though it’s not right) feel ashamed about it

Commenting after 11 days just to say I love this comment

If I had entrepeneurial spirit I would start a company called CopCam. A cheap but good camera, very recognizable as a camera with a red light on the front and big letters COPCAM. You’d attach it to the dashboard and it would come with a short overview of legislation per state (or european country depending on the market) of your rights as a citizen to film a traffic stop. I would hope cops would recognize it as a sogn they stopped someone who is well aware of their rights and os filming the whole thing, and this way they would behave.

Edit for slogan: copcam: to observe and protect.

To be fair, it looks just like the thing aunt Beru hides under her bed.

The really cool thing is - it doesn’t need to be easy, you don’t have to be ‘good’ at it in order to work. I highly recommend the ‘mindfulness for beginners’ course by Jeff Warren on the app Calm (30 times 10-12 minutes) If you prefer reading, he co-authored the book ‘meditation for fidgety skeptics’ which is also down to earth and humorous.  By the way, I’m in no way affiliated to him in any way, was just relieved to find someone with his style to ease me into it.

I’m no expert myself, but what it definitely can do is help you recognize the different symptoms that you can feel in your body that your brain recognizes as anxiety, that way you can kind of break the cycle of the body influencing the mind and vice versa. Then there is non-identification, which means that you kind of look at your anxious feelings, as if you are a spectator, not identifying with them. This way you realize you are not your feelings, but you have your feelings and can snap out of them way quicker and not get caught in a loop. It sounds kind of trivial when talking about it, but experiencing it can be quite profound.
