As the other commenter said, the bottles actually get recycled; if they weren’t they wouldn’t have a system where they pay for the return. And it doesn’t make sense to count it as “pay”, as in compare to a normal job pay, cause it’s not. Dude is walking around and cleaning the environment, gets free PS5 out of it.

Ooh, cool! I remember making offerings too, but it was to change the weather and stuff like that. Sounds extra fun to go to an abandoned lot for that, more mysterious and spooky 😄

I use F-droid, it’s FOSS apps only. It’s great, but unfortunately I stil have to use play store for non-FOSS apps.

Everybody made witch soups when they were children, right? There is nothing more fun 🍲

Just a simple example I googled:

• Sit in a quiet, comfortable place.
• Set a short time limit if you’re a beginner (e.g., 5–10 minutes).
• Focus on your breath and notice bodily sensations.
• Gently return your focus to your breath when distractions occur.

With body sensations, you can focus on the taste in your mouth for a minute, then switch to sounds you hear, how your fingertips feel etc. I usually close my eyes to better focus on each sensation. Just relax and gently observe what you experience right now.

I agree 100%. It’s a shame, because pretty much everyone would benefit from just trying to meditate once in a while.

These are some of the most common problems people seek therapy for, and there are several methods therapists teach to address these, such as meditation and mindfulness. It takes practice, but they have a lot of potential to help with intrusive, snowballing thoughts. You can practice anytime and mostly anywhere, but doing it is the hard part.

Awesome! The one thing I miss from Reddit is alt the dog related subs and content, thank you so much for taking over, may this community finally thrive!

What’s your location? I usually buy from ExtraOptical, happy with them.

Thought it said “Debian” for a second. Both work I guess 🤔

I used to be subscribed to r/oldmandog when I still used Reddit, and many posts were about pets that died due to old age. It was a safe space for posts like that, just celebrating the lifes of our old friends. It was one of the best subs I’ve been on.
