A buddy of mine was locked up from 03 - 17. He was asking me, questions like " do you have Playstation 3, what kind of phone do you have?" …

He said " man I know I missed a lot but people are so rude now. I was talking to my cousin and instead of talking to me he was looking at his phone. That is disrespectful." I said yeah man the world changed a lot. Felt terrible for him trying to integrate back into this bull shit.

He went away for the craziest shift in society I could imagine.

The “value” is the ability to escape from the cycle and exist outside of this world. Self realization is the goal. And to be able to understand the concept on a level that can get a person out of here means repayment of karmic debt that is tied to many previous lives. So by starting to be a good person today maybe in only a few hundred more lives we can become liberated. It’s not an easy game to beat.

It’s said that when we die everything can be accessed, every second of our life so reading the “Tibetan Book of The Dead” ( the great book of natural liberation through understanding in the between) even once we will have a better chance of closing a better life on the path of liberation from suffering.

I had a hard time understanding/ believing any of these concepts. But every question I had seemed to have a reasonable answer

But we do choose the next life. It is far to complicated to explain here. There are many factors in the afterlife that cause bad choices to be made, karmic debt ( which is carried on from many past lives) for one.

We are also reborn on other planets and have all been each other’s relatives in almost every combination possible.

We do remember our past lives but we are reborn into a body that barely functions. We can’t control it in the sense that even a 4 year old can. Rather than that information of our previous life being discussed we forget about it while being presented with our new life and the realization that we are once again trapped in the cycle of birth and death.

Always found it amazing how Vegas hits those spreads dead nuts across all the games every week.it is truly an amazing feat.

The last 10 years they toss a flag then “go to new york” for the call and sometimes they just pick the flag up and say “oh it was nothing, back to our regularly scheduled programming”

We tried our best but we couldn’t stop them and they outplayed us now we’re looking forward to next week and we’re not going to focus on this loss our defense just needs to make more stops and our offense needs to put more points on the board we’ve got such a great group of guys and this loss is going to make us work harder and we’ll see if we can’t get a win next week

One thing to do is link people on reddit to lemmy. That’s how I found out about this place. Most people have no idea it exists

I personally cant watch NFL after being a lifelong fan. Seems like the games are being manipulated. Seems a little glitchy with some weird calls being made these days. Became unwatchable for me but …Go Ravens !!!

I thought the exact same thing when i joined. Today while working on my project car I decided to take pictures and make a post sometime over the next few days when I’m done with the task. Hopefully someone sees it and starts discussion and adds content to one of the niche communities here that was actually one of my favorite non toxic subs on shitty ass reddit.

We get to build these communities and it’s kind of exciting 🤙

…and also stop using it when a car is passing by. Thanks assholes

All of them

Because I said so that’s why

Wow , that’s creepy 😳

Curious here . Would the phantom battery drain mean even when it is off it is " doing something " ?

My buddy wanted to give me some OLED tv because he baught another one he didnt need recently but im happy with my 2010 toshiba non- smart TV.

Apps should have to send a monthly statement of how much money they make from and how they used your personal information. Possibly even cut you a check each month

Check out a Tijuana Bible if you want to see some wild shit

Check out “Little Buddha” sometime. Keanu Reeves in blackface staring as Siddhartha Gautama " Buddha "

If Jesus came to the US he would smack the shit out of all of us

I have given physical copys to a few people over the years and not a damn one read it. They claimed they were " true Christians " , I fear it would have gone over their heads anyhow.

I actually did quit a job that I was previously planning on retireing from after some deep reflection caused by Tolstoy’s writing.

As a kid I was under the impression that was how a Christian would behave and then I became jaded as I grew older. When I read it I thought “that is how they should behave” and it was refreshing to hear someone talk like that.

I personally do not consider myself Christian, I agree with Nitzsche that “there was but only one Christian and he died on the cross” (i can’t remember the exact quote, it was from the book " the Anti-Christ") but reading The Kingdom Of God is Within You sparked a genuine curiosity about Christ and religion in general.

Glad you enjoyed it ✌️

Bad day to be one of the Ramirez’s

How about the overdrafted from buying a couple gallons of gas people. Where you at ?! 👋

I’m going to start smoking two packs of newports a day again. Life was so much better then

My friend . When you come to realizations like that or thoughts such as “we are all one, connected and God is love” you have got to keep it under your hat or people will think you’ve gone mad

Tolstoy was an interesting individual…and a great writer. Enjoy
