Same great Dharma, new SolarPunk packaging!

But who was that guy?
Why have you filtered out your communions, my child?
It is important that you not desecrate the sacrament and accept the blood and body as they were intended, not strained or filtered.
Also, please do not chew the wafer.
If you want trump to do, here’s what you’ll need to do:
Make the bottom border go straight across and connect to Mexico, then build that giant wall along the new mexican-us border.
The added benefit here is a larger border with Mexico, meaning he can run around screaming about the now larger border with Mexico, while simultaneously cutting off Mexico’s west coast from the ocean, fucking their supply routes. He’d absolutely be on board for this.
Was using a VPN to watch iPlayer last night and then hopped on reddit and was like “whereintheactualfuck is all the porn‽” Before realizing I had it set to the UK. Blew my mind for a minute
Is this template thing not… Just how life works?
Like, I’ve taken enough sociology and anthropology classes to know that humans these systems of behavior into our societies. We go into church and there is a set of behaviors expected, we go to the grocery and there is a set of behaviors expected when speaking with the clerk, et cetera, et cetera.
But, like, is this a ND thing to need to memorize the templates for these interactions? Because that’s my whole life. Stand back, try to remain unseen, observe, memorize, then I can interact. Is that not just what everyone does?
Y’all, I’m having a little bit of a crisis here
Add some balsamic glaze on top when you serve it, maybe a little fresh parm. Amazing.
Same. Bernie forgiving her is two fold, he’s the bigger man compared to me, and he recognizes the need for some allies, even if you can’t fully trust them.
But she’s a snake, a liar, a cheat, and I don’t trust her not to Tulsi Gabbard us, even if she won’t take it to that extreme… But honestly, I couldn’t tell you what extreme she would take it to, considering she’s proven herself to be checks notes a snake, a liar, and a cheat. Is she better than most of em? No fucking clue. Her results have been better in most cases, but who knows what she’d do if the money or motivation is right.
There’s a short story, What We Talk About When We Talk About Anne Frank. It’s a good read, but basically it boils down to a group of Jewish friends discussing who would hide each other if the Nazis ever came back into power, and there’s an uncomfortable realization when one of them realizes someone they love wouldn’t have the spine to hide them if the shit hit the fan. That’s how I feel about EW. When the shit hits the fan her progressiveness goes out the window, and it becomes how she can protect her own interests over the literal billions of people on the planet that would benefit from a truly progressive American administration.
That’s the one that gets me the most, man. People will literally go and say “the sixteen-point-nine-ounce bottle” instead of just saying “500 mil bottle” and it blows my mind. It’s so much less awkward to say. I’ve even heard people ask for the 33-point-eight ounce bottle at the gas station I work at. It’s a fucking liter. Just say the 1 liter bottle!
I know it’s a completely lost cause at this point, but I genuinely wish we’d switch:(
Meanwhile, in south Carolina, I pay bring home about 60% of my income, I can’t afford to eat well, I get absolutely zero assistance for food, medical insurance, or God Forbid basic income, and I am genuinely contemplating attempting to live in my vehicle in an abandoned parking lot near my work to save on gas money.
I didn’t expect to find my fellow Advaitins on this particular thread, but hello, well met!
Fucking. Exactly. Tap is awesome. It’s fast, it works, but just fucking standardize where it’s at!
But until then, as someone who works a register, people, please, look at the machines and see if there is a very clear label on it saying TAP HERE. I don’t know how every customer misses it, but they do.
I did not have this friend, so I had to become this friend.
Sadly, I still have no friends to share it with :(
I’m not hairy enough to be a bear. Forever without a box or label D:
Not really. There are nondualist traditions within Christianity. Meister Eckhart being the most well known. Nonduality isn’t the worshipping of other gods before Yahweh, it’s the belief that all that exists is within God. Panentheism isn’t incompatible with Christianity, it’s just a super niche trend within it, but with lots of historical precedent, even within large Christian organizations like the RCC. They never excommunicated Eckhart, and while he was controversial during his life, his thoughts on nonduality effectively forced the church to admit that it was not heresy.
Going beyond the RCC and into protestantism there is no unifying body to declare what is and isn’t allowed, so basically, screw that, imma do what I want.
But if you’re at all interested (not in a “Join us!” Way, more in an interesting historical knowledge way), there are tons of nondualist Christians, and I’d be happy to share.
One of my favorite ways this has ever been expressed is through David Graeber. Paraphrasing:
If you convince 100 million people that you can breathe under water, and you go sit at the bottom of a lake, you drown.
If you convince 100 million people you’re the king of France… Then you’re the king of France.
I come cheap! A small shack, some leftovers, and a decent internet connection are all I require!
Sadly I have yet to have found my hermitage :(
Fairly short read effectively, it’s never been made public what the loophole was/is, and all those who knew first hand are dead now. But it’s speculated to be a few different things, the leading theory (and the one I think is it) is article V, the process by which we amend the constitution. If we can amend the constitution, we can amend article V, meaning we can then make it easier to amend again later, in a downward spiral. We could also amend the constitution, do a bunch of fashy shit, then amend article V to make it so the constitution could not be amended ever again.
I remember when I found out that shit was plastic. I always assumed they were organic material of some kind, like the body scrubs with the crushed up walnut shell in it (which probably has fucking microplastic in it, too). So disgusting.
This is why we need to change how shit works. It shouldn’t go: company does some shit > fall out > government steps in. It should go: company has an idea > must get permission first from environmental agencies
I remember when I got my first qwerty phone. I hated typing on it. So much easier with my t9
