Literally the prequel to Up

Hi Obsidian Community!

I link all notes to the daily notes of the day on which these notes were created (automatically via Templater). But I noticed that I can't see anything in my graph view. There are way too many connections and everything is centered around my daily notes.

How am I supposed to identify emergent structures in this mess?

Am I doing LATCH wrong?

Should I skip the linkage and leave it as a date key just without the brackets?

Or am I just misunderstanding how emergence works?

Looking forward to any ideas, thoughts, opinions and general input!

Hello Obsidian Community, I would like to hear your opinion on the following matter:

Background

In my daily notes I use a comment block after Yaml, in which I link to yesterday's, today's and tomorrow's daily notes. The daily note links to itself, because all my notes are linked to the daily note of the day on which they were created and it just stuck, when I edited my default template to create a daily note template.

Issue

Sometimes I create a daily note for a specific day a couple days later, and thus my memory is not as good as on the evening of the day in question.

Proposal

Now I figured that it might be sensible to record that information by linking daily notes not necessarily to themselves via the today key, but to the daily note of the day, when I actually did write down what happened on that day.

What is your opinion on that? Any real benefit here? Would that be worse? Do you have any other input?

Interested to hear your thoughts!

17 Mio. https://de.statista.com/infografik/23994/geschaetzte-zahl-der-nazi-opfer/

Davon waren 6 Mio. Juden, es wurden aber auch andere Menschengruppen gezielt ermordet. Ich sehe diese Zahl oft miszitiert, daher der Einwurf. https://cdn.statcdn.com/Infographic/images/normal/23994.jpeg

Wisst ihr noch wo er sich losgerissen hat? Bringt da seine Schüssel mit Wasser hin (kein Futter, denn das kann andere Tiere anlocken, die er dann meidet). Außerdem ein Kleidungsstück von euch dort hinlegen. Das gibt dem Hund Grund dort zu warten. Hoffentlich findet ihr euch wieder!

  1. After WW1 and the Ottomans were defeated, it passed onto the Turkish (Islamic).
  1. After WW2 the Turkish were defeated and they lost it to Britain. In the same war the surviving Jews were displaced worldwide and had no country to live, so the League of Nations (U.S, Britain, Canada, France mainly) decided to give Jews a new home and call this new place the State of Israel. They put Israel right in the middle of the British controlled Palestine, which no Islamic nation could object to because they were all defeated in war.

Turkey never fought in ww2. Turkey was already after ww1 completely stripped of territory in the Levant. There also was no league of nations after ww2 anymore, but the UN was founded. No Arabic nations were defeated in ww2. Some of 4. happened after ww1 not 2. The creation of Israel was heavily objected by the neighboring Arabic nations, see 6-Day-War.

Recently got a Galaxy 4 smart watch gifted, but I am continuously getting barraged with (repeated) permission requests and hit with restrictions on features due to not granting certain permissions.

Is there an alternative that fulfills the following requirements:

  • respects my privacy by both, not storing my data on their servers and not selling my data, both health and identity data.
  • works with Android, i.e. Is not restricted in use by using Android as the Galaxy 4 apparently is.

I mainly want to use the watch to track sport sessions, basically just for running.

Are there any tips on how to keep my peace of mind when dealing with smart watches? Things to keep in mind, etc?

Thanks in advance!

No, nobody can be fired for whatever gender, sexual orientation, religion or beliefs they have. The focus on LGBTQ+ or certain religious beliefs is due to the media focus and because of the countless instances where such terminations, both legal or illegally, have taken place. These legislations give these groups the same rights everybody else already enjoys, and are usually formulated in such a way that any discrimination in regards to gender, etc. are forbidden, this includes white, straight cis-men.

What kind of researcher posts a five-question-questionnaire on Lemmy?

Who are you and who employs you? What is your agenda?

Is this an undergraduate thesis?

Where else did you post your questionnaire? Are you accounting for selection bias?

Why do you not use a questionnaire service like survey monkey?

These are all yes/no questions and no questions regarding background, sex, age, income, etc. What kind of conclusions do you think you will be able to draw from that?

Transcendental Meditation is a secretive mantra meditation movement founded by an indian yogi/guru. Most research on meditation benefits is on TM. To learn it, one has to pay for and participate in a course led by a certified TM teacher.

Does anybody here have had experience with TM, participated in a course and received a mantra chosen by their teacher?

Do you really need a teacher to learn it? Is the course worth it or just profiteering? Anything else one should know before going to a course themselves?

I doubt that executives are that clever. I've seen this conspiracy theory circulating atm, but it relies on so many assumptions that I consider it unlikely. It assumes that executives "help" each other out by willfully spending money for office space and all it costs, that could be saved in expenses by employees working from home. Corporations are obsessed with cost cutting, why would they willfully waste money? It also assumes that corporations help each other out. Considering the fierce competitiveness corporations are exposed to and how this extends to all fields, including office space, employees, office equipment, etc., this is nothing more than a conspiracy theory. Another assumption is that the push for a return to the office comes from ALL or mostly all executives. Is there actually data supporting this claim? Who is really doing this?

What I think is the real reason, is far simpler and requires less mental acrobatics to justify: The people, who are pushing for a return to the office, (a) have a stake in the performance of the company and (b) are not working themselves when they are supposed to be working from home. They then project their own behavior upon others, and therefore push for a return to the office to, in their mind, prevent their enployees from slacking off.

"The Blind Owl," a captivating literary work by Sadegh Hedayat, intricately weaves together themes of existentialism and nihilism, offering readers a thought-provoking journey into the depths of the human psyche. Set against a backdrop of mystery and psychological turmoil, the novel takes us into the world of an unnamed narrator, whose increasingly distorted reality blurs the lines between truth and illusion. As we delve into the labyrinthine corridors of the narrator's mind, we encounter a narrative that both fascinates and perplexes, challenging conventional notions of reality and meaning. With its haunting prose and enigmatic atmosphere, "The Blind Owl" explores the intricate relationship between consciousness, despair, and the inherent emptiness of existence. In this mesmerizing tale, Hedayat invites readers to contemplate the abyss of nihilism, where the search for purpose and understanding intertwines with the darkness of the unknown. As you embark on this literary odyssey, prepare to be drawn into a realm where the boundaries of reality dissolve, leaving behind a trail of questions and reflections that linger long after the final page is turned.

Did you hold your phone sideways while posting it?

I disagree. There is rarely a relevance for like/dislike and all upvotes and downvotes are, should be viewed as and used as indicators of relevance.

Upvote what you find relevant/interesting, not what you like.

Downvote what you find irrelevant to the community or what uses language that you find inappropriate for that community, not what you don't like.

Then I would like the focus of this post to be on how the contractor (the landlord) used unethical business practices against his stooges :D
