Don't you need to be convicted of something first to be pardoned?

no, see Ford's pardon of Nixon.

a pardon can only save him from federal crimes, but he's looking at felony election fraud in GA and a plethora of financial / tax crimes in NY

I really don't see the point though, how could anyone justify that much unless it's their business lol. Am I missing something?

someone could argue the same about buying a new car vs 2-year old used. in the case of buying a brand new, top of the line electronic, it's mostly about having that feeling of "the best", even if its only temporary. for some people, money is literally not an object so spending $3k on a GPU when you're worth millions is probably a non issue.

there are a lot of things people spend money on that i don't understand, like designer clothes or new cars.

no, ive never really been one to chase the latest and greatest. i'd wait 6-12 months for the price of that card to drop to like $1k then buy it.

its almost like different people prioritize different things

personally, i think buying a new car is a waste of money, especially considering that ~15% of the value is lost the moment you drive it off the lot. i like to buy cars that are 2-4 years old and in good condition to minimize the depreciation i have to swallow.

Giant_Aspirin
01/05/21 9:47:11 AM

i've been working on meditation for like three years now. i find it calming and peaceful and it helps me get my emotions and thoughts under control.

i practice what's called "mindfulness of breath", which is a technique centered on focused breathing. the basic idea is that you sit comfortably, preferably without back support (helps keep you awake), close your eyes and focus your mind on your breathing. think about the feeling of the air entering and exiting your lungs and mouth, the way your chest rises and falls, etc. there's actually an awful lot going on when you breathe if you stop and pay attention. during this process it's inevitable that eventually your mind will wander. this is ok, it's natural and its a part of the exercise. once you notice your mind has wandered away from your focus (the breath), gently guide it back to where it needs to be (the breath) and resume. this process of identifying a thought that has ran wild is the main point of the exercise. learn to recognize that your thoughts happen independently of your mind, as in you have no control over which thoughts materialize, only what you do with them once you notice them.

/r/meditation is a good place

I'm at 49 runs and 0 escapes <_<. but i did spend a long time there focused on the grind (Blood or Diamonds) and not actually getting as far as i could.

i basically take whatever weapon has the +20% darkness modifier and run with that. both for variety in gameplay and for the gains to darkness.

for keepsakes:
  • a God specific one for the first area to start focusing my build where i want.
  • God specific for second area if I need specific boons, or the Acorn
  • Acorn
  • Tooth
