Men will do anything but fucking meditate, won’t they?
(Am man)
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.
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.

Side note: Bees love playing with balls.
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.
One of the important things in many kinds of meditation is it’s not about stopping the bees, but noticing them.
I remember hearing about some Buddhist monk who was famed for his meditation. Someone asked him how long he could sit before his mind wandered “oh about seven seconds normally”. He just got very good at noticing when his mind wandered and trying again.
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.
More people really should meditate and none of that western appropriated sanitised stuff
What form of meditation do you recommend?
I don’t really have any form to recomend because I don’t follow any specific form and have developed my own based on my own experience and integrating anything that works for me personally
I’d suggest looking online and finding stuff that works for you and intergrate it into your meditation practice
Mfcks are just using Bethesda wait mechanic irl
Mf looks like a Bethesda npc
I was thinking he looked like M-M-M-Max Headroom.
Nah, he looks more like a bad reboot version of Ivan Drago
It’s Erling Håland
When your main character syndrome causes you to become an idling NPC
At least they know there aren’t enemies nearby
Raw-dogging eh? I think more research is necessary, time to google.
Dear god, what is that haircut?
Max Headroom lookin ass
Something’s wrong… I can feel it
Here I was thinking I just saw Norwegian football player Erling Braut Haaland xD
Beat me to it
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…

What is it? I wanna try!
In the recent context of air travel, it refers to sitting idly for your entire flight. No books, movies, music, nothing.
So, psychosis?
TIL, I am a psycho.
Who am I kidding? I always knew.
That sounds… horrible, flying sucks enough as-is I have no idea why anyone would subject themselves to even more torture lol
I could see an argument for a waiting room or being in the bathroom with nothing but your own thoughts…but a potentially multi-hour flight?
It sounds like some alpha sigma grindset bullshit a la tate
As long as the plane is quiet, it’s not too bad. I usually drift in and out of sleep. Then again most of my flights are around two hours.
It’s not about the noise, it’s about the awful crammed seats.
yeah airplanes really aren’t “one size fits all”
I do like to travel just listening to music idly, doing nothing else. That’s pretty relaxing for me. Even then, though, I hate planes and airports and the air pressure and how much you feel like a fucking piece of inanimate equipment the airline is just shuffling around for money.
I think the argument is, that you will only remember activities, but not idling. So if you’re busy during the flight, then you will remember that. But if you do nothing at all, then you won’t remember anything. If you don’t like flying, that’s an advantage, because you won’t remember the flight.
I remember when I waste my time. An experience so extremely boring would stay with me long after the fact.
And I am someone who don’t sit on my phone on the toilet, because I like being alone with my thoughts.
So that argument really would only work with people who don’t think much anyway.
well, I have experienced similar things myself. When I find myself in stressful situations, I just switch off my mind and go forward, because I know that that way I will eventually find a solution to my problems. For example when I have a lot of work to do. If I start doubting, I won’t get anywhere. So I have to switch off my mind. And in fact, in retrospect I rarely remember the difficulties that I went through. Maybe, though, that’s just my personal experience. Maybe for other people it doesn’t work that way.
Sugma kids stealing another one of my hobbies 😾😾 (srs tho how can you do any of those, I get so nauseous)
It’s where you give your pup a raw hot dog as a treat cause hims a good boy
woof
“I’ve been rawdogging my dog this whole week. She’s been such a good dog”
Yes officer, this post right here
Yeah, sounds fun, but I prefer my dogs cooked. Hot-dogging, as it were.
How come some ppl have the power to make Boeing planes pregnant
IM FUCKING THIS PLANE SO HARD RN
on that mf Moaning 747
Mile high
Yeah babee mile high how did you know?
What do you think this whole post is?
I think it is a post, one of the posts in the history of the posts. This post is.
You say it’s a historic post?
It’s like a fucking post okay
Literally.
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.

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.
That looks like an Erling Haaland sex doll.
Doesn’t look like an economy seat. Amateur.
