Biggest bang for your buck: mindfulness practices. I tend to recommend Healthy Minds, but most evidence-based mindfulness practices are good.
Second biggest bang for your buck: experiential exercises like defusion, acceptance, and self exercises. Why experiential? Because they exploit your senses so that they help with memory reconsolidation. Thoughts lose their power but you retain your ability to notice them and choose.
Let me know if you have questions!
This source seems to indicate that they can indeed 
Thanks for your response. I’m glad your dog was in your hands.
And yes, your answers help me have a clearer idea of what the experience can be like and what can be done. Thanks.
Thanks for your response. I’m glad the dog lived a life with you, someone who cared about them. I’m sorry the seizures got to her.
Just to clarify, my questions weren’t for a dog of mine. They are for a neighbor that seems to not care well for their dog, and their dog has seizures. A group of neighbors filed complaints already, and we’re waiting on the resolution. In the meantime, I wanted to understand what the dog could’ve been experiencing and what could be done while a dog is having a seizure. If the dog is in pain, the type of complaint is more serious than if not, so if the current complaints don’t change anything, maybe something can be done in the future to change the complaint.
Thanks for reaching out. Sorry for taking so long. Here are my questions regarding dogs with seizures: what do you do while a dog is having a seizure? Do you know what they may be experiencing?
I ask because I have a neighbor with a dog that is practically left alone most of the day and most of the night and sometimes has seizures that we can hear and that my neighbor confirmed via text messages. A long time ago we reported my neighbor to the local animal control body, but they claimed that they couldn’t do anything unless we could prove the animal was suffering. After collecting neighbor testimonies and recording ourselves in our homes listening to the dog (we had to prove that we were recording ourselves and not the neighbor), we filed a formal complaint. Now we’re waiting for animal control to take action
I guess my questions at this point are out of curiosity and compassion for the dog. In case the complaint doesn’t come to anything, maybe my questions can also be fodder for future, more effective complaints.
This is as great as it is sad. Nintendo, could you really not be a good company on your own? Did you require democracy and consumer advocacy for you to care about user-replaceable batteries in all of those products?
lol
meta is speedrunning enshitification
impressive
they skipped past the “get people to use your product” part of enshitification.
“Deletes surveillance-capitalist social media to improve life. Immediately builds self-hosted social media and productivity systems to further improve life”
The one that says that conspiracy theories are used by elites to distract us from the real injustices and problems in this world.
You’re right it does seem like a Polymarket brainrot bet.
I want to clarify where I’m coming from. For starters, what I was trying to say was that I’m not as pessimistic. I don’t believe in blatant conflict-of-interest bets, but I do like betting with friends quite a bit, especially when it comes to social processes. I usually bet a fast-food hamburger because it’s cheap and we can catch up or talk about why we each thought we were going to win the bet.
I’ve lost one bet and won dozens. Usually, my friends are pessimistic and I’m not so much.
So, here’s my proposal. Instead of betting, how about I just say I hope the world’s alright?
How long do we have before shit starts to break down due to lack of food and water, even in the imperial core? I give it less than a year at best.
Let’s bet.
Take your pick:
These are contextual. Some people could say “absolutely” or “for sure” or “obviously”, and yet they could appear arrogant instead of being persuasive.
If you’re going for persuasive frames, I think it’s best to frame an argument around empathy. If you can prove that you understand someone else’s problems, they’ll be more open to you and your proposed solution.
Of course, this is easier said than done.
Yeah, the green number shows the improvement, and Babbel users improved more. What the green number doesn’t tell you is how much time it took to get there. If you look at that, Babbel is more inefficient than LingQ and Rosetta Stone.
Thx for your ethical considerations 🙏 here’s another important cause 
I have a suggestion that is not FOSS, but it is privately held so the pressure to be profitable each quarter is not at all the same as publicly held companies.
Check out the privacy policies of LingQ and Rosetta Stone. Idk if they’re good, but I know they’re the most efficient language-learning apps right now. They require the least amount of minutes using them to achieve the highest scores in standardized language tests.

Look for Cynefin by Dave Snowden. It’s a framework that not only helps with understanding programming, but many other types of systems.
