What's absurd about vibration? Without vibration, there would be nothing. Nothing at all. Vibration is the foundation of all that there is and ever will be.

As a white person with dreads, I was pretty surprised I got hired at the place I'm working now. IT may be an exception, though.

But does it include the option of joining the Mile High Club?

Sounds like the Rick & Morty episode 'The Ricks must be crazy'

I assume because it's around the mouth. Food passes, some of that will stay in the beard, allowing for different cultures to grow than elsewhere.

Partly relevant: a few months ago they discovered bacteria in beards that also kill MRSA: http://www.independent.co.uk/news/science/beards-good-for-he...

I think that parent means that between torrent clients, the original file is being transferred, but the version that is saved on the hard drive (or Dropbox) is slightly altered, fo…

You observe, without passing judgment. If a thought comes, just let it come, and don't 'reply' to it. When you notice you drift off, just acknowledge that, without judgment, and co…

Exactly, I've been to a Vipassana meditation retreat, and the whole point is to eradicate suffering by eliminating feelings of craving and aversion. To see things as they are, with…

That explains why Steam now accepts bitcoins. Because nobody uses it to actually buy stuff... /s In The Netherlands, you can order takeaway food at practically any restaurant with …

You're repeating propaganda. May be there's less violence, but the amount of suffering has skyrocketed over the years. A more than significant amount of people are dependent on tra…

That does not apply here. There's not an exact definition what a Scotsman is, except that he's from Scotland. Communism is actually a completely worked out ideology. It has never r…

Give it another 10, may be 20 years, and there might be enough research available that people stop downvoting posts that remind people that this knowledge has already been around f…

Wow, this kind of writing appears even in scientific journals: "Stampfer’s work found that people who ate peanuts and nuts regularly were less likely to die from any cause" So nuts…

You might, but then it would be a conscious choice and you would be happy doing it. Don't judge your possible future self from your current selve's perspective.

The times we did it, some parties excluded, we started inside, and then moved to the outside whenever we felt like. Nature is awesome, especially pine forests.

I don't really see why this would have implications for the relationship between UK and Russia. Isn't this part of the spy game? When one defects, one can expect to be killed. I do…

Same in Netherlands. Little text, so it's straight to the point, and no ads,

Needless to say, his ego is scared shitless about that.

It's not like you have to sit 10 hours a day without ever moving. The longest streak is about 1 hour, and only from day 5 there's two times a day a sitting with determination. Nobo…

Well, it wasn't wild life and it's not about feeding. There were 2 cats, who perfectly took care of themselves (saw them catching bugs multiple times), and sometimes they came to t…

During meditation, one can experience moments of such clarity of mind, that the answers to difficult or deep rooted issues suddenly show up in front of you. Usually it turns out th…

It's definitely not the same as relaxing on a beach for 10 days. Not even closely similar. Yes, you might be more relaxed, but this meditation is hard work and really disciplines y…

Nothing, there's no monetary obligation at all, from registering until you leave. It will only cost you time and dedication, for 10 consecutive days.

There nothing for-profit about Vipassana. Mr Goenka set up the centers after he was profoundly helped by the practice. No money is asked, and donating either time or money can only…
