Zarxrax, in Is it normal for a person to "feel" less as they get older?

It’s kind of the opposite for me. Like many people said, when you are young, every experience mostly feels new. However, when everything feels new to you, there’s really nothing special about it. For me, I always embraced the familiar. I look back at my memories of family vacations with disappointment, because as everyone else was wanting to go and do fun things, I was complaining about how I would rather be watching TV or playing my gameboy. Now as an adult, I understand how precious our experiences can be. I look out at a mountain and I appreciate the beauty of it. I think about the history that has taken place around it. I think about how other people might have experienced it. I get so much more from it than I ever would have as a child.

Same here. It simply comes from within. Everything now is so special because I’m aware how fleeting everything is.

Thanks for your comment. It resonated a lot with my experience.

Sandbag, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?

“Be Better”, a college professor/mentor always aid that to me. Whenever I think about taking the easy way or the shortest way I just say “Be Better” and then do the right thing.

dudebro,

Love that.

Brochetudo, in What's something you'd change in men's fashion, given the chance?

No ties, no shirts, nothing in that fashion that is even close to formal

SlowNoPoPo, in Is it normal for a person to "feel" less as they get older?

Do shrooms that feeling will come right back

UnverifiedAPK,

Reach ego death and that feeling will go away forever.

Oh you

Notyou,

I was going to suggest that, but wanted to see if any other people would. It has helped me anecdotally, and many other people. There are studies being done at universities that prove psilocybin help with mental and behavior issues.

Obviously don’t just take my word for it. Look into it. Have a trip sitter or someone experienced that can talk you through your thoughts if you need it.

SlowNoPoPo,

yeah, as long as you treat the experience with the respect it deserves it’s beneficial, people get into trouble with it when they mix it with other drugs or just take it with no considerations

100% agree with this. Ever since getting into shrooms the world has become so much more alive and I feel far better about life in general. I run a community for magic and mysticism if anyone is interested called !magic which focuses on this type of discussion. Anyone is welcome to join the discussion or ask questions.

slimsalm, in What password manager do you recommend?

Selfhosted or not, you can also make keepassxc portable with a usb drive.

Here is a old thread from redit explaining how to do it:

Dude… KeepassXC has portables for linux, there is no need to mess with wine or mono. As long as you have both portable versions of KeepassXC, you will not have a problem. You can totally have your database sync between OSs.

  • For Linux, just get the AppImage for the portable.
  • For Windows, get the Portable ZIP archive.
  • Shove them both into a USB, you have KeepassXC portable for both OSs on a stick.

RupeThereItIs, in What movie scared you shitless when you were a child?

Not a movie, but a ‘feature length music video’. Michael Jackson’s Thriller scared the ever living shit out of 5 or 6 year old me.

Akasazh, in Hey Lemmy, what are some good public domain books?
@Akasazh@feddit.nl avatar

Tolstoy’s work is all in public domain. Anna Karenina and War and Peace are great. Not the easiest to read, but unparalleled.

niktemadur, in What's a quote that has stuck with you for your whole life?
@niktemadur@kbin.social avatar

"Live on, survive, for the Earth gives forth wonders. It may swallow your heart, but the wonders keep on coming. You stand before them bareheaded, shriven. What is expected of you is attention."

Salman Rushdie, from The Ground Beneath Her Feet.

A more recent one, meditation-related, short and simple and I have no idea who said it, I just happened to catch it a couple of years ago on a website-that-shall-not-be-named:

"I am not my thoughts."

fckreddit,

I have BPD. I remember someone telling something similar on reddit. “I am not my diagnosis.”

bogus1,

Great quote for me from the OP. Thank you.
This prompts me to adjust it to fit my needs: "I am my thoughts, so I better craft my thoughts in a better way."

Today, in You know any cool, lesser-known or even made up phrases?

www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/nonplussed

A lot of people think it means unhappy, but it really means bewildered. Confusion over the definition has led to a new use as unimpressed.

Today,

@rikudou@lemmings.world avatar

I always thought nonplussed meant unimpressed.

TheGayTramp,
@TheGayTramp@lemmy.ca avatar

Similarly, “presently” originally meant “soon”, but now people use it to mean “at this time”. Like “I will be leaving presently” could mean two different things depending on who’s saying it

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

And "momentarily" doesn't mean "soon" but people are starting to use it that way.

Streets ahead.

If you have to ask, you're streets behind.

ritswd,

I thought it was coined by Community initially, so when I heard it used on the Great British Bake-Off, I thought “wow, is that a Community reference?” Turns out it’s been a common saying in the UK and Ireland for ages.

Heh, it was still a good joke.

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

Ha ha it's a saying my mother would use, or people of her generation, which makes it even funnier that Pierce thinks he coined it... a bit like when he thinks he "writes" the Greendale song.

Taleya,

Aussie here, i didn’t get the joke, i will admit. 'Cos it’s something i heard in the 1990’s

techbits,
@techbits@lemmy.world avatar

The show The Bear dropped streets ahead in the second season as well as Gillian Jacobs being added to the cast. The creator of the show Chris Storer is the long time partner of Jacobs. Joel Mchale and Dani Pudi had brief cameos as well.

livus,
@livus@kbin.social avatar

Is it a good show?

techbits,
@techbits@lemmy.world avatar

I think it’s one of the best shows on tv right now.

Perfect response. I was just about to type "wish I could upvote twice" when I realized I could boost!

space_of_eights, in what band/song are you kinda ashamed you listening to as a kid?

Early 90s eurohouse and/or hiphouse. I listened and still listen to many genres, but the kind of music I refer to, is not even worth being a guilty pleasure.

EtnaAtsume,

E-Rotic is still worth a listen…right???

ratboy,
@ratboy@lemmy.ml avatar

Oooo I wanna check it out! Who should I search for?

space_of_eights,

Confetti’s, T-99, King Bee, 2 Unlimited, Quadrophonia, LA Style, To be fair, even at 14 years old, 2 Unlimited was too cringey even for me.

ratboy,
@ratboy@lemmy.ml avatar

Hahaha sick I’ll try to check them out, so curious about the sound

As an answer to an obvious question:

“Does the pope shit in the woods?”

The answer is yes. Yes he does.

kersploosh,
@kersploosh@sh.itjust.works avatar

Is the Pope a bear?

ritswd,

I have a lot of questions about the state of sanitation in the Vatican.

Taleya,

Is the bear a catholic?

Froyn,

We'll burn that bridge when we get there. It's not rocket surgery.

Taleya,

“It’s not Dragon magic” is a fave of mine, semi-obscure ref for those that get it, dada for those that don’t

Maerman,

I am partial to ‘Does the pope systematically cover up child sexual abuse?’

kairo79, in What movie scared you shitless when you were a child?

The Tripods was a TV series that traumatized me!
