Basically just focus on staying present and not letting yourself get carried away by your internal monologue. It’s infinitely harder than it sounds. You can close your eyes, focus on a specific spot in a room, focus on your breathing, anything to keep yourself present and focused. Keep your mind empty as best you can.

The best advice I ever got was, when you have an intrusive thought during meditation, to acknowledge it, and let it fade away. Don’t focus on it or criticize yourself for it, as that will usually only make it harder to refocus yourself.

Meditation is super helpful for a lot of reasons, but for me personally it helped a lot with negative thinking and mental traps (like catastrophizing and stuff). It helps you to be more aware of when you’re getting carried away by thoughts, and how to push them aside and be present.

Look into mindfulness if you’re interested, it’s helped me a lot.

Persona 3 Portable

It’s been 22.3 23 years, aids 9/11 is finally funny!

Actually it came from a pretty dark place lol. I’d made an attempt on my life a couple of months prior, and felt completely hopeless and lost, unable to find the strength to do pretty much anything.

So I made it ironically, and it ended up sticking.

The App Store not being filled with predatory trash

Tbf you can still get a phone with a headphone jack, and with a ton of space. Not that you need a crazy amount for music anyway.

Also confused about the internet connection part. Even if you only use music streaming services, most let you download your music for offline listening.

Cyberpunk and RDR2 both

WOULD YOU KINDLY

Pirate Bay shouldn’t, but linking to torrents can at least give megacorps some kind of backwards excuse to come after them.

The pirating communities here don’t link to anything. It’s literally against their rules to do so. It’s solely for discussion.

Protecting himself from what? The community hosts literally zero pirated content.
