Men will do anything but fucking meditate, won't they?

(Am man)

I have ADHD and am lucky enough to be able to dissocciate in certain situations instead of just going insane, but that doesn't sound like this is what they're going for. This is just a cultural madness and/or proof of the lizard people.

ADHD dissociation is the only way to get through life. Time is such a fluid concept for me.

raw dogging basically is meditation tbh

[–] chonglibloodsport@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago) (4 children)

I have never had success with meditation alone. My brain is like a bumblebee swarm in a beach ball.

I enjoy guided meditation if the leader is soft spoken and knows what they’re doing!

[–] NegativeInf@lemmy.world 14 points 2 months ago (1 children)

My tactic when meditating specifically is to imagine myself as a mountain. Any thoughts are just like clouds. Let them pass with the wind. It's ok to have them, but do not hold on to them. For the mountain is unconcerned by a cloud.

Have you ever tried doing a mindful activity, like mindful walking or mindful eating? You might find that one of those are your jam if you have a hard time by yourself! They give you an activity to focus on.

One of the important things in many kinds of meditation is it's not about stopping the bees, but noticing them.

I remember hearing about some Buddhist monk who was famed for his meditation. Someone asked him how long he could sit before his mind wandered "oh about seven seconds normally". He just got very good at noticing when his mind wandered and trying again.

That's what I've been calling it for years, funnily. Like, I don't practice meditation in general, but just letting time pass, chilling out, not focusing on anything to get into a state of mind that lets time flow faster, to me, has always been meditation.

I'm kinda laughing reading about this whole "raw dogging" thing. What a ridiculously macho way of talking about it.

I suppose they could call it "sitting to attention", maybe? Like a palace guard you know? If they wanted to sound more macho without actually sounding like a creep.

Mf looks like a Bethesda npc

[–] samus12345@lemmy.world 54 points 2 months ago (1 children)

I was thinking he looked like M-M-M-Max Headroom.

[–] tio_bira@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

Nah, he looks more like a bad reboot version of Ivan Drago

[–] wieson@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago

It's Erling Håland

At least they know there aren't enemies nearby

Raw-dogging eh? I think more research is necessary, time to google.

Here I was thinking I just saw Norwegian football player Erling Braut Haaland xD

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 9 points 2 months ago

also no eyebrows on a pronounced brow-line, slight unhinged smile, and fixed stare

one or two of these things on their own is passable, but all of them at once is not a recipe for going unnoticed..

In the recent context of air travel, it refers to sitting idly for your entire flight. No books, movies, music, nothing.

TIL, I am a psycho.

Who am I kidding? I always knew.

[–] cm0002@lemmy.world 47 points 2 months ago (6 children)

That sounds... horrible, flying sucks enough as-is I have no idea why anyone would subject themselves to even more torture lol

I could see an argument for a waiting room or being in the bathroom with nothing but your own thoughts...but a potentially multi-hour flight?

[–] unexposedhazard@discuss.tchncs.de 42 points 2 months ago

It sounds like some alpha sigma grindset bullshit a la tate

[–] mossy_@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago (1 children)

As long as the plane is quiet, it's not too bad. I usually drift in and out of sleep. Then again most of my flights are around two hours.

[–] madcaesar@lemmy.world 5 points 2 months ago (1 children)

It's not about the noise, it's about the awful crammed seats.

[–] mossy_@lemmy.world 2 points 2 months ago

yeah airplanes really aren't "one size fits all"

[–] gnutrino@programming.dev 3 points 2 months ago

Yes officer, this post right here

[–] katja@lemmy.blahaj.zone 20 points 2 months ago

Yeah, sounds fun, but I prefer my dogs cooked. Hot-dogging, as it were.

Huh I thought it was bring zero luggage. Like you walk on the plane and everything you have is in your pockets. Buy whatever you need while there and donate or trash whatever you are done with after replacements.

[–] lightnsfw@reddthat.com 10 points 2 months ago

Why do I keep seeing articles about this. Wasn't it just a meme someone posted about seeing a guy on a plane with no entertainment or anything? Who cares? Good for them not requiring stimulation every moment they're conscious. I wish I could do that.

[–] IndiBrony@lemmy.world 8 points 2 months ago

That looks like an Erling Haaland sex doll.

[–] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 3 points 2 months ago

Doesn’t look like an economy seat. Amateur.
