Eyy malay/indo friend. How I miss good nasi and I never learned how to make the nicer nadi dishes. I crave nasi padang, nasi goreng, nasi lemak… I’m salivating now. I blame you.

I mean defining new religion is always tricky, Hinduism is such a large collection of beliefs, if you go too wide Jainism and Buddhism and Sikhism would unfold into Hinduism and if you go too narrow Hinduism is at best group of 12-13 separate religion.
The deeper you look the more confusing it is, while Jain texts acknowledge certain “Hindu” deities like Indra, other parts of universe building are entirely different, and if they are different where did Indra come from?
Anyway I like the distinction of dharmic religions and then defining sects such as Jain, Vaishnav, shaiva, Buddhism etc etc. They all have the concept of Dharma, Karma and Moksha. So they are all kind of interoperable in terms of lifestyle. There are sects of Hinduism that are more different than mainstream to the point it’d be hard to call them Hindu, but they self identify as Hindu, while there are sects of buddishm that are so similar to Hinduism, it’s unclear why they consider themselves a separate religion. I think at the end the distinctions between dharmic religion are always because of some geopolitical power game.
Yeah but if you ask a jain they’d say they’re not Hindu. So take it for it means.

From early reviews it seems penalty for emulation is in single digits. Also honestly I am considering one just to watch movies but my intereat would depend on the price of course. So wait we must.

There is still some optionality like maybe you get a windfall from a boomer dying and you can pay the principal. Or in 30 years your currency devalues to the point you can afford the principal.
Anyway it all feels like fool’s hope. Situation is fucked.
- Comment on People who don't wear earphones outside - why, and what do you do instead? 2 weeks ago:
Sorry OP, you got downvoted in so many posts, some of which I thought was undeserved, but some of it is deserved. You asked a question, but came off as wanting to prove everyone else who doesn’t listen to music is crazy. Everyone is different, you do you. I think it’s very important to train brain to be content without any stimulation and therefore, I think, I play music in my brain, I plan rest of my day or next day, and most of all I introspect when I’m walking around.
And my life isn’t even complicated and I find tons of things to Introspect, so hard for me to imagine people get bored with introspection, but you do you. If boredom is such a massive problem for you because of ADHD, perhaps carry a power bank.

I used to think that till I met absolute Chad of a man with failing kidney and he would laugh at the situation refuse to be treated, he was like I’m 47 I lived a happy life and I’ll die if ill die but I’m not being bound to a bed, refused multiple dialysis interventions from his family and was clearly getting in pain towards the end, finally sold his very few possessions, gave some money to his youngest sister that struggled financially and took some drugs and died on a beach alone. (he had already gave up one kidney to save a sibling).
That man clearly didn’t care much about, he didn’t care about his family getting hurt because of his illness and death, he didn’t care about pain to his body, he didn’t care about death, and honestly I saw him 3-4 days before his death, he was still laughing like he was at peace and played a few games of uno with me.
- Comment on Study Claims 4K/8K TVs Aren't Much Better Than HD To Your Eyes 4 weeks ago:
Yeah tell that to my sister, who wants 4k for her laptop simply because she’s heard 4k is better 4 times 1080p, she’s buying a 13 inch.
Small numbers are just not sufficient for some people. I know if I send this article to her, I’ll be questioned “why do you not want me to see happy?”. So instead I just watch my nephews collage fund contribution shrink.
Sorry it became a rant of family tech guy.

- Comment on one bright second 5 weeks ago:
Yes, but we don’t have proof that universe can’t generate new matter. For all we know there is a mechanism in universe not yet observed that can create new matter out of little vacuum and more stars will keep forming.
So technically all we can say is, it’s likely that stars will die out in 1000 trillion years.

Escrow is third party, second party can’t be escrow. In this case door dash can’t really be an escrow as it will be second party.

Well then i guess ists not an LTT reference.
Linus Tech Tips, founder Linus, thought when someone said hard r they mean the word used to describe mentally different people. But in the context it seemed like he is talking about African Americans, was a short lived story as it was a genuine mistake.

And how many percentage of all livestock do you think is “free range” like the cows you describe?
Estimates vary from 80% to 99% are factory farmed. Which means majority of meat anyone is eating is factory farm. Unless you can verify the source of your meat yourself, you most likely are eating tortured animals.
So this whole argument that I have friends and family that care for their livestock like it’s their kids is the misrepresentation since, it maybe true that you know someone that is treating animals humane, it doesn’t represent majority.

Well, I have had two people tell me very rudely that I’m an asshole because I got their pronoun wrong because they had it at the start of the presentation somewhere. And I also have had dozens more who corrected me a couple of times and then I’d just remember the right pronouns.
Assholes are assholes magrinalized or not.

The reason so many people are mad is sometimes the suit guy even comes back saying, sorry man didn’t find a discount, but here is your slip. Meanwhile he has changed the slip and added his name and would get the commission without doing anything.
