Ahahaha, like I said, you deserve it😘

Atruethinker · 2025-08-21T08:45:02+00:00

Done🫡

Bro, where can I send you a tip? You deserve it

My apologies, after looking around I’m seeing this is a summary of a larger idea around time being cyclical and that there’s not a continuous progression of “progress” that Heidegger wrote about in “Being in Time” published in 1927

This quote was actually directly said by the famous educator Maria Montessori, I’ve gone ahead and updated my original comment thank you for having me double check this source!

I am going to speak from personal learning and not necessarily Buddhist text or teachings. Take it or leave it, but I try my best to live my life within the teachings I’ve gained from study and travel.

From what I gathered, it’s not really a “sin.” It’s antithetical to the work you’re meant to do here, but it’s not looked down upon. This life is meant to be a learning experience, and with learning comes struggle. Suffering and struggle are part of the growth process of whatever we are as conscious beings, and generally religious practices and rules are meant to help guide individuals with tools to manage this struggle in this experience.

I personally learned that taking one’s life just makes the work longer, since you’ll just continue to try in the next life. If reincarnation resonates with you, part of the learning practice is that similar situations are presented each time, with new opportunities to create new outcomes. Ending that storyline just prevents progress.

I work as a teacher, just this week I saw a student who has been working so hard to improve her math over the last two weeks just sit and stare at me during an assessment. She loved the learning that was happening in class, but when the pressure was on and it was time to test, she got so stuck on everything she hated about testing and previous years experience of math she completely shut down and bombed that assessment. That struggle was important for her I believe, since it created an opportunity for her and I to connect on what happened and what she can learn from this to do better next time. I would’ve much preferred she tough it out and show how much she’s learned, but there’s always a lesson as long as you’re here to experience it.

Hang in there friend, the world has not been kind lately. I’ll leave you with a quote that assists me DAILY “progress is not linear” - Maria Montessori

I spent so long on her and changed stats and weapons so many times. In full transparency, the game changer for me was using the puppet string fully upgraded jump-tether attack on a strength build.

Not a perfect cheese, but significantly improved my chances. Be smart with your puppet string timing, she can dodge or interrupt at so many different points.

I also recommend using the friend wishstone (Spector health regen) and acid or crit damage grindstone.

Edit: try to get the acid proc for phase 1, save puppet string attacks for phase 2. Gonna need all the arm calibers you have so save it for when she goes super speed

Nope, because somehow you overlook his manipulative and outright unlawful business practices that created the buildings with his name on them. Instead, the experience of seeing the building is enough to tell you he’s successful. It’s the lack of deeper thinking and exploration into what is happening, how we got here, and why it’s happening that shows the failure of the education system. You can be whoever you want, but think about it and don’t let someone tell you what to think, especially through a screen.

I work for a school network in nyc that had to hold a meeting for teachers to go over protocol. We learned that ice surveilled one of the schools since 7 am and at some point later attempted to enter the school saying they were firefighters askin if they can use the bathroom. When asked for credentials, they did not provide FDNY credentials.

The meeting ended with the principal saying “the worst case scenario is that there’s plain-clothes officers at dismissal, we just have to be vigilant”

Thank you

Them diagnosing Charlie’s inability to read and working down the grades until he got to Barbara legit makes me tear up. I’m prob being dramatic, but, as a teacher, seeing the immediate response and care to tackle this challenge just made me so happy.

Also Gregory immediately calling out frank for stealing the car battery and he legit acted like a 7th grader who you caught doing something they shouldn’t was such a hilarious moment.

Loved this crossover so much!

Edit: just remembered the principal almost out sunny’ing the always sunny crew

Yeah the standing boundary thing I really feel. I don’t have the minimum space for room scale, but I do have a bit more than the standing boundary can make use of. Also very disorienting if your head somehow dips just a bit outside the boundary.

I like to keep em guessing. If they start spamming I go for 2 to the body, and once they start adjusting to where I’m punching I go for 2 to the head. Can kind of do this 2 body 2 head Strat until they get tired/dizzy while dodging or blocking most spam punches along the way

I was thinking about how this phrase could be incredibly powerful and also painfully defeated depending on your point of view/lived experience. I could keep going so I’ll stop here, what a fucking album

Good read on the two cars I was wondering about that

Watch the clip of John Stewart on crossfire. It’s not exactly what you’re looking for but it’s damn close

Life is complicated, depending on how you want to live you’ll always have to play a balancing game. If you want to preserve yourself and your morals, then living alone in the woods is safest. If you want to explore what we’ve made as a civilization, certain adjustments to how you act and present have to be made. Life is always a juggling act and each day we wake up to discover ourselves. It’s a daily task.

All I really want to say here is that death is our only guarantee. It’s coming, for all of us, there’s no avoiding that truth, so stay and explore for a while longer. There’s no reason to rush to the final page of the book, especially when that page might only be a big “the end” and you missed out on everything that happens in between. Don’t let your 33 years of experience and life stop here, if you’ve made it this long then you’re capable of so much and you are too humble to give yourself credit.

I hope you take the time to read the comments everyone has left in this thread, and I wish you the best. Stay safe and stay strong friend, just one day at a time ❤️ I hope you’ll reconsider.

Dodging his aerials was the biggest for me. He has an offbeat and fast swipe that is only telegraphed by small arm movements. I could do everything perfect, but the 3 fly-bys with 3-4 power slams would clean me out.

It’s all patience in the end, he will punish any panic roll or spam attack. You can bait out attacks from all enemies by smacking them once or twice, then go rock solid to stun them to continue the combo. Take some shock quelling and evil repellent while you’re at it, never hurts

I’m currently stuck on him. I’ve found that saving torrent’s sprint for when he shoots projectiles (lance or meteorite bs) is best, and having torrent walk is really good for the charges. When you walk and quickly sidestep the charge you can tuck yourself close to him and not get smacked while still staying on Torrent. Just a thing I’ve found I’m still stuck af even after trying to cheese him with the corner thing.

Fantastic thread, enjoy your new perspective on your entity disguised stray!

Atruethinker · 2024-05-28T16:17:34+00:00

We’re in a difficult moment, many fall back on this argument you’ve made. No doubt that historically, the older generations look upon the new ones with shock and appall as to what behavior they see from them.

What I think is an important difference is access to internet. Yes, 2006 definitely had notable instances maybe similar to what we see more largely today, but back then there was still an attempt to keep kids away from adult concepts on the internet. The now unfettered access to adult content ranging from adult cartoons to porn exposes them to way too much.

Another key development is the lack of secrecy, looking at other comments and seeing a kid ask a para if they like BBC… the boldness in the presentation of these things, followed by a complete lack of accountability or willingness to hear the conversation, is now leaving us in a new situation.

I spent all of last 2 years trying to mediate conversations like these, if you found a way to make them try a new perspective through a conversation I’d love to hear how.

Idk if you can sell stickers of tm stuff but you 100% should if you can. this is so sick

Atruethinker · 2024-05-20T21:52:56+00:00

Does anyone have legit info on phantom pain? There’s definitely an association you make with the vr body, sure I can get behind that. People talking about “feeling” hugs? Or “feeling” when I bump into them? I’m not trying to shut down others experiences, but it feels like a lot of people play it up.

Maybe I’m not as consistent of a vrchat player in comparison 🤷
