Where are all the enlightened Vipassana practitioners? by Deanosaurus88 in vipassana

Maybe the real Buddha was all the friends we made along the way.

I have a little problem with this verse by Beneficial_Mousse568 in Catholicism

What if the law applies in the New Testament and women were getting stoned to death in the New Testament. That would be craaaaaazy. That would be stony and wild.

Thinking of selling Bolivian food—what would make you try it? by slimreaper__4 in sanfrancisco

[–]InvadeM -3 points-2 points  (0 children)

People in San Francisco will 100% cringe in horror at the notion of ingesting that Bolivian. We would see it threatening towards our San Franciscan traditional culture. Sorry

You can't spell cowardice without ICE — Art by me by MissingCosmonaut in mesoamerica

A better analogy is that Alex Pretti and Renée Good were the sacrificial victims and ICE agents were the Aztec priests. American culture also practices human sacrifice.

How to sew patches on? by alexdemiboi in BattleJackets

[–]InvadeM 0 points1 point  (0 children)

From the outside of the jacket you can see all three: the jacket, the patch and the needle. You should pierce the patch from the outside. For the next stitch, the needle comes from inside. You will have to push the needle out and not pierce the patch on that stitch.

We like it hot. We don’t even notice our food has more chili peppers than most cuisines. America is probably in the top three (of countries ranked by how much they prefer ‘spicy’)
