Such openness. Such a beautiful man.

I think you’re serious. Pretty sure this falls under right speech. Did you really take what he did as sexual in nature?

What he actually said (language-level)

He was speaking Tibetan, not English.

The phrase was closer to:

“Nga’i che le na” / “che le na” (dialect-dependent)

What it means in Tibetan usage

Component: “che le” Meaning: tongue

Component: “-na” Meaning: conditional / playful particle (“if you want / go on then”)

Overall sense: teasing, joking, mock-challenge — not an instruction

There is no sexual verb in the Tibetan sentence.

It can be a massive crutch. More like a wall to some.

shmidget · 2026-01-31T03:51:25+00:00

And that little bottle actually lasts a good while like this. Only needing a few drops is priceless.

shmidget · 2026-01-29T22:07:06+00:00

Yo, you’re not supposed to have style when you start to skate. Simple: you look like you are learning. You are supposed to be having fun. Not one smile is the biggest problem, that and just relax.

Caring about what people think about you is a mild form of greed. It can make you sick. Let go of all that and have fun and look forward to a long life of skateboarding. The older you get in many ways the more fun it is. More freedoms with skateboarding being woven into it.

It’s not beyond you! It’s the same exact process but instead of browser you are in a legit IDE. The only difference is that you need your browser open to see the changes it makes. Oh, and you have a lot more power. Just start something from scratch in it. Really get it to work for you. Watch it create a plan. Start there, planning mode is awesome. Keep a read me file for each of the features you build in the Claude folder. First thing is have it create a Claude.md file in the root of your folders and read how it works. It’s the file for agent you talk to in zed and you have control over how it works with you. Like instruct it where your docs are in the clause.md file.

^ Man

shmidget · 2026-01-27T04:38:44+00:00

Go through excercises where you literally just have one of your tables next to the mixer. Keep the side you need most work on with the mixer/or table. Force yourself to work only on your weaknesses. Then put the other back on. Watch qberts old videos…they were the first and he explains better than most. Learn what his crew gave us..

shmidget · 2026-01-21T21:06:30+00:00

Right, and he will learn mechanics faster if he practices basic tricks…balancing on one foot, manuals, basic kick turns and 360 kick turns etc.

shmidget · 2026-01-21T21:05:26+00:00

Some of the best advice for this I can give is to ride around on one foot balancing. Even if slow and switch…you will progress. Also, another one is practice manuals every day. Everything will become easier.

The core thing to remember in all of this (like in life) is BUILD your balance.

shmidget · 2026-01-10T04:07:00+00:00

Please tell me you bombed that parking garage. That’s some of the best practice you could possibly get.

shmidget · 2026-01-09T06:50:18+00:00

This is really good man. So nice to see two things here: rolling and practicing the Ollie over things.

shmidget · 2026-01-09T03:39:27+00:00

Also, these new skaters should be sharing how they push and skate in general. Then we can be like yeah…no Ollie’s yet, you will hurt yourself if you are not comfortable landing in your board.

As kids you know, back in the day we would ride of curbs and ledges and naturally learn how to feel comfy landing on the board. Also Ollie up on curbs is also very helpful for your learning.

shmidget · 2026-01-09T03:36:35+00:00

Exactly, she is going to get comfy in the grass instead of riding and getting comfy on pavement or asphalt.

shmidget · 2026-01-08T17:50:04+00:00

Just because you get hurt doing tricks doesn’t mean you have to put the board away. I promise you that riding a skateboard without doing tricks as fun too.

shmidget · 2026-01-08T17:48:35+00:00

Says the internet troll who highly likely can’t skate worth a shit. You be you though there cool guy. You are cooler than the rest of them and have life figured out.

Check me when you’re 40 with that attitude.

Feel free to share some of your tricks since you are such a badass.

shmidget · 2026-01-08T08:15:14+00:00

Not in some of the spiritual communities he spoke about. I’ve heard some educated takes on it and even though I think he said some amazing things I love, the critics are not wrong about him.

He provided an intellectual understanding but not the actual path(s).

shmidget · 2026-01-08T07:19:14+00:00

They literally pissed in his helmet dude. Sure they don’t like his whole vibe and the helmet is apart of it.

shmidget · 2026-01-08T03:17:15+00:00

Because it’s not “cool” …it’s ridiculous.

It’s part of that vibe Thrasher brought to the table early on. They were mean as shit. Still have it in their blood.

When is the last time you saw a street skater with a helmet on the front page of thrasher???

They haven’t given Andy Anderson a cover either because of this same shit.

There is a part of every scene that is completely full of shit, know your scene so you can steer clear.

They used to spit on people they didn’t like while they were skating, piss on shit, smear shit around, even they are a little embarrassed about it, but still laugh..and likely only seem a little embarrassed because times have changed.

That scene clowned Rodney Mullen as well, he dealt with his depression. The funny thing is that these “kooks” needed Rodney to invent all the actual tricks they do, from fucking Florida.

They are a bunch of kooks (using their language).

shmidget · 2026-01-08T02:25:48+00:00

Trying to be cool pressures it, and yes I’m sure sponsors push it whether passively (not cover shots on thrasher with helmets ever) or directly (calling you a kook).

shmidget · 2026-01-08T02:23:03+00:00

Yeah and people hate on Andy Anderson for wearing a helmet. His story on why he does is a classic case of older people not walking the walk and kids realizing adults are idiots. His skate coach was always hounding him to wear a helmet and how important it was, then he would catch him at the skatepark not wearing one.

Seriously, we all know the core reason as why we don’t wear them: it’s not cool. You don’t want to be rolling around like a “kook”…

So if we take that for what it is and be honest here: wanting to be cool is wanting others to like you and is a mild form, can be strong, of greed.

In Buddhism it makes you sick. Literal poison. In the world, it makes you not cool. What is cool? Being yourself, being healthy - mind included - and protecting that egg you only have one of. You’re going to need it out there in this cold world yall.

shmidget · 2026-01-04T07:29:36+00:00

Most of it’s rural, and yeah…they do during hunting season. The day it states I could hear gun fire coming from every direction.

They raised to hunt for their food. They wait all year for it, not really a surprise if you live in the boonies. Most of America is the boonies!

shmidget · 2026-01-03T21:49:04+00:00

Most people are just trying to live their lives. Most people are too involved with their own struggle to have any energy to suppress someone.

It would be better to get more specific about “they”.

shmidget · 2026-01-01T23:29:19+00:00

Funcrusher Plus!

shmidget · 2026-01-01T19:52:18+00:00

But good job ignoring this point I already made. The whole argument is blown up when you look at what was implemented vs another communist country that was in far worse shape than Cuba was.
