There's no way lawmakers stop this, so anyone know a way to wear a mask in public without looking like a lunatic?

Fair enough for SpaceX, it's only doing so well because he doesn't control it.

I think his stocks are inflated on his hype, and if you're an American your taxes have got to him through NASA.

Psychedelics are a shortcut to what intense meditation and prayer can achieve, so I see how you can come to that conclusion.

For one, it was part of the prophecy that's referenced a few times in the New Testament.

For two, martyrs maker good PR. My favorite example is:

Who near as I can tell arranged his own arrest and execution in Rome, and preached the entire way there to the crowds that came to see a Christian (novel in those days)

How do you think slave owners got bailouts after the 13th amendment was passed and the slaves got freed?

But then they have to pay, it's not all free to them. And data brokers sell large data, whereas with TikTok they could just say "Give me everything that exists about @AmbiguousPoops" and know their whole life because they agreed to it in the terms of service.

Where you log-in from multiple devices, we will be able to use your profile information to identify your activity across devices.

TikTok also uploads gigabytes of data from your phone. But yeah, it's just political.

My personal advice is: Making meditation a habit is the main hurdle. Set the bar of success so low you can trip over it, such as "I will meditate at least 3 minutes a day".

And for more what you seem to be after, you can't go wrong with the Gateway tapes. They're some guided meditations with a fancy audio technique that helps your brain tune to the desired mental frequency. This is a good place to start: r/gatewaytapes/wiki/start but I wouldn't recommend browsing the subreddit unless you want your experience to be influenced by the sub's communal lore.

If you'd like I can send you a link to a drive folder with the files if you don't want to pay.
