  • The root chakra (just above your taint) is generally associated with the color red. Heart chakra is associated with green.

    Meditation is such a broad description, anything from a moment of focused attention to sitting for hours muttering a mantra.

    I haven't heard anyone talk of "growing" chakras, and I'm very much in that world, they aren't like muscles. You would grow your awareness of your chakras.

    If you consider taking a moment to be aware of the sensations, emotions and images in the center of your chest to be "meditation," I'm not sure how you could accomplish your goal. Otherwise.. do that.

    I like to take a moment when I see something particularly beautiful- sun sparkling on water, sunsets/sunrises, a striking vista, the moon on a clear night, and "breathe" it into my heart chakra.

  • MXPX started out as a Christian punk band, but the members grew out of the religion and kept making music. —Punk Rawk Show, I’m Ok/You’re Ok, Chick Magnet, Move to Bremerton. All bangers.

    Different vibe, but Pedro the Lion, same deal- started out Christian, then rethought his world view. Slowcore/90s emo. — Of Up and Coming Monarchs, Of Minor Prophets and Their Prostitute Wives, Big Trucks, Rapture, Backwoods Nation.

  • California Bay Area: Safeway store brand is $2.49/lb for whole chickens or whole legs, $5.99 for boneless, skinless breasts. Free range (Rocky) is $2.99 for whole/whole legs and $8.99 for breasts. Organic (Rosie) is $3.99 whole, $10.99 breast. It was cheaper pre pandemic, the bird flu hasn't raised prices a second time.

  • Have the Hugos cleaned up their act since Adrian Tchaikovsky rejected their award two years ago for being racist and disqualifying anything that might cause political offense? Now they're giving him two at a time? Not that he doesn't deserve them, Alien Clay and Service Model were fantastic.

    Also- The Ministry of Time was SUCH a fun read. Looking forward to more by Kaliane Bradley.

  • We haven’t had enough enlistment to fill our military needs in decades. We have as many hired contractors as enlisted. The contractors are majority non US citizens.

    We’ve been avoiding a draft because it would cause major resistance to our unnecessary military activities that can currently be pushed to the back of most people’s minds.

    Operational contractors continue to play a vital role in CENTCOM, holding a 2.8 to 1 ratio of contractors to military (up from 1.7 to 1 last year) as military forces exit Iraq, Syria, and Afghanistan while contractors stay behind.
