Theravadin Buddhists call "bliss" using the word "piti" (Pali language). Piti is a component of the lower jhana states. In general, I would suggest TM is not jhana meditation.

That would make them even stupider than Ohio. However, I suspect this is yet another Republican distraction to keep us from looking at the man behind the curtain.

This is called "magical thinking." People believe what they want to believe, and they make excuses for it. (You see the same in politics.)

Pseudoscience. People expect improvement, so if they have ANY improvement, they experience confirmation bias. I am not sure anybody but a gifted physician could help from the medical side. You might also consider an LMT or a physical therapist.

Time to sue.

On the other hand, why wait for some governmental agency to recommend it? I don't recall ever waiting for this kind of advice. We can ignore this lawyer as long as the biotechs and the pharmaceutical companies produce vaccines.

You are dead on right. It would have been an instance of confirmation bias.

Like Mars?

The long-term solution involves dropping the addiction to Title 1 money from the feds. Apparently, this approach has been the policy in New Hampshire for years ("Live free, or die").

I feel sorry for the kids. The toxicity of vitamin A is well-known. Why aren't these parents charged with negligence?

Once I discovered the down-caret in Chrome, I no longer pursued vertical tabs.

Suburban hell (boredom).

The enneagram is similar to the MBTI and DISC. You describe yourself using the questionnaire, and then you receive a label ("seeker," "dominator," etc.). Sometimes, these tests can be eery. The labels have whatever meaning you give them; after all, you just told the "test" a lot about yourself.

"Normal" equates to average, so-so, ho-hum, dreary, middle-of-the-road boredom. I always wonder what conservatives are conserving. (Nothing worth saving).

We used that feature. Two months ago we reset to default settings and unplugged it. I guess we were prescient!

Many professions (e.g., welding) do not require a college degree. "Go to school, get a good job" is another way to become a wage slave, which is the topic of the discussion.

Given the meaning of "limen," this one is perfect!

I disconnected mine a month ago. Something was "listening." I don't care if that is paranoia or not.

First, look at inflation. What dollars are those numbers? Second, regardless, you are right.

I did my own little bit on Caprock this morning. Some irresponsible individual keeps throwing those "Buzz" ball bottles on the walkway. Also, beer cans and more.

My last GM product was a Chevy Citation in 1981. After that dismal experience in low reliability and recalls, I swore I would never own another GM product. 44 years later and no GM products. I drive Subarus, which a consumer organization recently rated as the #1 car company.

Not to mention misinformed, quasi-literates. That social media article they reviewed must be the truth or it wouldn't be allowed, would it? Yeah, right. Meanwhile, they fill their kids with convenience food garbage and wonder why they are obese and diabetes-prone. Also, the logic in the person's statement is circular (fallacy).

Ask them to provide THEIR numbers if you decide to bother with these knotheads at all. Some of them fold when challenged this way. Sadly, not too many of these dolts will collapse.

Take control of your destiny! You have the ability.
