i heard a story that monks used to not sign their works, as they saw themselves as one of many, merely guided by the holy spirit. and that really really really vibes with me. i’m nobody.

sorry

truly the antidote to happiness

though entertaining :3

the same goes for me for all makeup & decorations

it’s good that you think this way, after all, happier slaves are more productive.

where your children are gonna grow up depends a lot on your choices on whether you support Mars settlement or not. if you do, and you go there, i think your children will have a high chance of having to do a lot of work. construction, farming, construction again, taking care of new immigrants and children, construction again, expanding the city … seems like a lot of work to me.

i dunno. I mean, the same could be said about the medieval ages. Everything had been figured out. How to grow wheat, how to feed chickens, the people knew everything. It was all just daily routine.

Yet i don’t see these people living dull lives. I smell the air and it smells good.

damn that image bangs

thanks for the video!

on an unrelated note, if i had 1K dollars to prepare for the incoming situation, i would invest it to stock up on food durables, such as noodles. I would spend $900 on food and $100 on water.

Humans are basically machines that run on food instead of oil. As long as the engine keeps turning, things can get done.

They’re not unlike law enforcement, in that regard.

Unrelated (probably), but i just researched this and want to tell people:

• The US Army & National Guard has a combined troop strength of around 1 Million soldiers. source They are typically under federal control or can be “activated” (in the case of the National Guard) to be put under federal control.
• The US has a total number of police officers & law enforcement of, also, around 1 Million. source Most of them are under state & local control.

I’m saying this because i have been wondering, in case states try to secede and trump sends all troops he commands to the states to stop them from doing so, what would be the likely outcome.

Sorry, it’s a bit off-topic here, but the US situation is on my mind a lot these days.

There’s more things that i like about the Lion Turtle. For example, it says to Aang:

“Since beginningless time, darkness thrives in the void, but always yields to purifying light.”

What does that mean? What is the purifying light that the Lion Turtle talks about? Is there, maybe, a psychological state which conquers the harmful behavior without exercising violence?

Maybe that message only makes sense to Aang, because he’s an air nomad and believes in these ways. Maybe the Lion Turtle would have said something different to a water bender, or to another person in general.

What would the Lion Turtle have said in that case?

I like the way that Aang took Ozai’s bending powers.

There are at least two good aspects about it:

• Aang teaches the viewers that there are sometimes non-violent solutions to hard problems that appear at first glance as if violence was the only solution. And i think it’s worth it trying to find these non-violent solutions. Aang was telling himself that he needed to kill Ozai after he spoke to the previous avatars on the Lion Turtle’s back; he then just luckily encountered the Lion Turtle and found another way.

• The other interesting aspect that i find about the Lion Turtle is that it teaches us that besides the bending of the four elements, Lion Turtles bent the energy inside humans, which i understand in the way that Lion Turtles drove human development forward through some process maybe similar to evolution(?), and that just opens up a very interesting potential for side-stories. What else did the Lion Turtles bend? What other tricks do they have?

sorry i tried to find this meme, but after 15 minutes i gave up trying to find a higher-quality one, and settled for this one.

and my SO actually wears only the bottom of the bikini and goes bra less to the beach

There actually is a drawing challenge (called MensSwimsuitChallenge) that tries to depict this.

Probably the closest space any guy could get is AA or NA meetings.

what do these abbreviations stand for?

Would you mind giving the community a name where it can easily be found? Such as /c/mental-health-men or sth.

I heard golden carrots are the best at that, which you can get from the farmer for the low price of 1-2 emeralds.
