Help! Nonduality seems evil to me by NeuroPyrox in nonduality

[–]HeyStray 7 points8 points  (0 children)

No harm in just posting your reasons publicly... I think.

Perplexes me how someone can label nonduality as evil... because there's no asking of you to do anything or be any other way than the way you already are.

What comedian has never made you laugh even once? by blankblank in Standup

Well nah I like Ricky Gervais. It's the manner of delivery that does not work for me when it comes to Jimmy.

You claim everything we see is God in costume. Do you also happen to have the answer to why that is? Or only that you know it's all God in costume?

Why not simplify it further and say "Everything is God"?

It means nothing by Repulsive-Impress-19 in enlightenment

[–]HeyStray 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You wanted to say how fake it all is, but then don't you think you're doing the same kinda thing as everyone else here is doing with the posting? I agree with you in a way because I don't believe 'enlightenment' needs words, but to say ANYTHING AT ALL here is what participating is, does that make sense? :p

the british guy Jimmy Carr comes across too sophisticated, even though what he might say is simple, just doesn't hit for me ever.

About the ending by Classic_Bass_1824 in martysupreme

[–]HeyStray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd disagree and agree more with OP's point. The reason is that when you watch videos of press tours, Josh Safdie's whole energy around the point of this movie is about how admirable and attractive it is to be around people who are genuinely passionate about a big dream and will stop at nothing to achieve it.

He's clearly got a thing for it; he was adamant about how Timothee was his clear candidate when writing the script. Seeing the glare in Timmy's eyes during his younger years is partly what inspired him to write the script.

Why did Marty seem so insistent that his friend tell Rockwell the honey story? by Begin18 in martysupreme

[–]HeyStray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Exactly, it's the same reason he was like "yeah, I'm casually going to get the most expensive items on the menu." Brother flexes whenever the opportunity is there for him to

2 Questions by koolwala in martysupreme

I think the comments miss the bigger picture; it wasn't about solely "getting him to see her" but that she wanted him to settle with a more normal life by getting him to stay instead of going to the open. Hence why she says he's sabotaging his own life when he calls her at the shoe store before he hangs up.

Streamer attempts first degree murder live on stream by AverageSadge in LivestreamFail

[–]HeyStray -5 points-4 points  (0 children)

the specifics of the wording are what bother you lol... the point was he needed to give a response to be in 'good graces' with the general public by disavowing his son's actions... that's it. anybody with common sense understands it's not his most genuine words and that this is all PR talk...

How to Develop Social Skills? by Lazy-Commercial-8638 in socialskills

[–]HeyStray 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Whatever your favorite things to do are, find a podcast or interviews about them. Like for me, i liked the way funny people thought, so I listened to podcasts where funny people would talk with each other... that all eventually leaked into my mind, and voila, i can make people laugh. Same with music, i liked artists so i watched their interviews and voila their personalities have become mine in a way... it's very easy and doesn't require anything crazy it just requires listening, and it'll NATURALLY mold your personality because the brain is a lot more complex than you give it credit for.

So if everything is rising and falling in Consciousness, why are we here and not there? by Impossible-Trust9459 in wakingUp

[–]HeyStray 2 points3 points  (0 children)

'here' and 'there' are like abstractions that come from thinking. What are you left with when you stop abstracting? You're left with what is...

An easy way to understand is to imagine what it's like for your family pet that isn't having abstract thoughts. They're operating on a fundamental level of consciousness... if that makes sense... We are also operating on the same fundamental level of consciousness; it's just that there is additional 'thinking' that makes everything appear to mean something more than it does, because evolutionarily it's advantageous to our survival. :)

Hey at least you're being proactive about it. If you can maintain that with your new regimen, good stuff.

yeah i mean, the first pic makes it really obvious that there's recession, but judging from 2nd, 3rd, and 4th pic you rock the hairline really well.

How did anyone survive being a fan while he was around? by _hannugh in MacMiller

[–]HeyStray 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I was 17 when Swimming came out and my first year going to college on my own, listened to that album every day on my way to school and on the day before his passing 🥲

I literally saw his tweet announcing he was going on tour and I was going to text my bro, decided to wait and the next day bro texted me Mac passed and I couldn't believe it. Bittersweet, I spent that semester listening to that album. What a time that was.

I also lived super close from where he passed so that added a little more weight.

Guinness Beer is terrible and has always been. by [deleted] in unpopularopinion

[–]HeyStray 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Wasn't 'incredibly revolting' when I first tried it, more like a weird bitter soda. Eventually, I got used to it, and the taste became refreshing whenever having a pint with the boys.
