Speaking from recent experience, that offer seems like a lot of money when you're eating ramen for the 4th time this week and have $30k of debt.

Is there something malicious about Malwarebytes now?

something shallow but a few machines became unusable due to MWB cpu usage

This gets asked all the time everywhere but I have to ask again, how do you get started?

I've tried a million different apps (even got a Headspace subscription for a while), read Mindfulness in Plain English along with a tonne of other guides on it but it just never seems to click for me.

One thing is important - being regular. Like with cleaning the teeth, it is not enough to do it once a week.

Just start doing it, perhaps every morning, dedicate 15 minutes of each day to the meditation.

By doing it alone from the start is difficult. That's where sangha - a group of persons who practice meditation - comes to play. Others will help you and it is also easier to get up and meditate if you know that others come as well.

Another tricky think is to get rid of your expectations. You may have many ideas what meditation should bring to you, just abandon them all and let meditation surprise yourself.

My teacher always likened meditation to the soil dissolved in the glass of water - put soil in the water and shake it. Now just put the glass on the table and let it sit there for a while. After some time all the soil sinks to the bottom and above that you have clear water.

Same goes with your mind and that's also an explanation, why it is necessary to be regular - your everyday activities just mix the soil with the water and you tend to loose the clarity.

Just repeat and repeat.

It is a wonderful activity.

People have said this to me and whenever it comes up I find myself a little put off by it. I'm not "offended" per se and I don't believe that I'm voluntarily making the decision to be put off by it. However, it just seems weird to me that this person automatically assumed that the brown people country I grew up in couldn't teach me how to properly communicate using one of the most important languages in the world.

I definitely agree with you that it's wrong to call it an aggression and there definitely shouldn't be any rules about saying something like that, but I do think there is something wrong with going into a conversation assuming that the other person does not possess a skill because of their ethnicity.

What were some of the questions that you struggled with? Most of the time interview questions are pretty awful and have nothing to do with real life problems, which you might be really good at solving. Keep your head up, keep looking and things will work out.
