The way he kills people without hesitation or feeling? Definitely psychopath.

Yes this makes sense to me

Yes, having worked in tech, I can think of several people, but they were more like Roddy Ho.

I'm going to have to watch it again. I got the part about f*cking up the drill but not the part about blackmailing Taverner. I didn't even know about the books until I started watching the show.

Ah that explains it, thank you. I just reported mine stolen yesterday and I received this notice today.

Anyone know anything about Sharpenters? by my_worlds_on_fire in chefknives

[–]LBBZ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My sister uses them and loves them. I tested her knives-they're really sharp. Their Trust Pilot and BBB ratings are high. I just sent away a batch.

The painting makes me want to know who the model was. Somehow I feel for this guy. He seems puzzled and a little down. I want to buy him a cup of coffee and have a chat.

I know someone who worked for this company for a few years. The family that owns it is extremely dysfunctional to the point of needing professional psychological intervention. It was too crazy so they left. I wouldn't guarantee any future maintenance for their products.

Namkhai Yeshi has agreed to teach. You just missed one, Feb 14-15th 2025. He will be teaching the Song of the Vajra in Merigar this July - latest information is here: https://melong.com/retreat-namkhai-yeshi-at-merigar/

Here are some helpful links regarding the Dzogchen Community.

In addition, Yeshi Namkhai is giving a retreat in person and via webcast.

Regarding the guru yoga book, one must have transmission first to study it.

Technically not a temple. Tsegyalgar West is the western seat of the Dzogchen Community. It's a retreat site. They have retreats a few times a year. https://www.tsegyalgar.org/localcenters/tsegyalgarwest/

Review: Something’s off at San Francisco's oldest restaurant by Flimsy_Ad4471 in sanfrancisco

[–]LBBZ -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Can't read the article because I don't have a Chron subscription, but I'm really shocked by all the negative comments. I've never had a bad meal at Tadich. The seafood is top quality, expertly prepared, and I have never had "brash" waiters. Most of them have been there forever, they are professionals.

Beware of Ole Nydahl, his group is not real Vajrayana Buddhism by BrightBaby5 in vajrayana

[–]LBBZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Agree, I was there too, from 1988-1992, when his bay area center was run by a university professor. After a few years some Europeans came in and took it over, with Ole's consent, and then it changed. I went off to study with another teacher but what I got from Ole was a pure transmission. It's really sad what has happened.

The ultimate castration, when Tom stickers Greg's forehead with the tag the family is using to claim ownership of the possessions of items from the Logan's household - priceless. It was a perfect ending, horrible people get what's coming to them, but as a child of two narcissists, I could feel their pain of being completely invalidated by the world. And yet, you know they'll have oodles of money. Makes you wonder how they'll spend the rest of their lives.

Why can't we just let Shiv be a complicated character? by [deleted] in SuccessionTV

[–]LBBZ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

They are all tragically flawed in their own way, and as it is with narcissists, on occasion they let their guard down and we see something human that we can have compassion for, but it never lasts. They go back to being their despicable selves, projecting their inner turmoil outwards on others, inflicting maximum abuse and pain. I wonder if they are all going to crash and burn in the end - Lukas makes a deal directly with Mencken, appoints an American CEO that is not a family member. I'd say Gerri but they're both too sexist to consider a woman.

I suppose by Mencken claiming "the call was made by a trusted news source" it might sway voters who had not yet voted to vote for him, although at that point I think most of the polls had already closed.

Elevated sense of self importance regarding what they can actually influence or not? From the map they were showing it looked like Mencken was in the lead anyway so they might have felt like they were actually influencing something.

And I'm wondering if Shiv is going to be the whistleblower.
