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

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.

[–] Cracks_InTheWalls@sh.itjust.works 2 points 11 months ago

Eh, the hype around it maybe, but it can be a useful/unique experience for some - at least if you're not the type where it'd be acutely painful, in which case do whatever gets you through the flight/whatever.

Think about modern life - how often do you find yourself in a position where there are no acute demands, no expectations for how you need to spend your time, and you can just sit with your thoughts for a few hours? Unless you consciously carve out some time for that, IMO it's pretty rare. Multihour travel as a flight/train/bus passenger affords that time with no special effort.

I like at least attempting it for a chunk of the trip, if not the whole time - imagination starts running wild in cool ways, which otherwise doesn't happen as often as I'd like it to. Though in fairness, if it's a plane the cabin noise usually puts me to sleep during the attempt.

I'll put it this way - if you're the kind of person that finds the idea of isolation tanks appealing, depending on why you may enjoy raw-dogging flights or other passenger travel. 100% not for everyone though, and that's fine - different strokes and all that.

raw dogging basically is meditation tbh

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!

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.

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 11 months ago (1 children)

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

[–] tio_bira@lemmy.world 13 points 11 months ago

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

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 11 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..

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 11 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 11 months ago

That looks like an Erling Haaland sex doll.

[–] etchinghillside@reddthat.com 3 points 11 months ago

Doesn’t look like an economy seat. Amateur.
