Don’t forget the skin-flutists!
Seems to be a cultural thing. Here in Canada I see mL and L most often for drinks.
One quirk of metric I have taken a liking to recently, is in Japan, apparently they measure their object dimensions in mm. ‘The size of one sheet of Letter paper in mm is 279.4mm x 215.9mm.’ I don’t know why, but for some reason I like this.
I went to the states a couple years back. Went to a tavern and was deciding on a beer. Bartender overhears I’m Canadian and tells me the size of the pints in decilitres 🙄
For what it’s worth, I’m pretty comfortable with FL oz from reading soda cans and stuff. I just find it crazy how unintuitive metric is to some.
I appreciated his effort, I just thought it was funny
Sometimes the things preventing us from being mindful are also the reasons why being mindful would be so beneficial in the first place.
That is a really interesting point! It never occurred to me, but you’re right
I’m glad your treatment and mindfulness are bringing you healing!
mindfulness hijacked
I can see that! Evil people in the world like to blame the victim, they want us to turn our focus inward instead of on their bad actions. We see that with corporations as well.
abused by half of people
There are lots of good people, but lots of jerks too. I find where I live, it’s really common for people to just be casually… mean to each other? Especially in a work setting. It drives me crazy, I feel like people need to wake up to how we affect each other.
social credit
It’s been banned for now, but can we really say for certain it won’t come to pass? Even as a fringe side-project that becomes popular or something? I agree on your points that it would be a motivator, as well as it being abused by those at the top.
I wish I could master mindfulness.
USA ‘land of the free’
Yes!! Was hard to find a PC with the logo still on it by the time we graduated!
