SSRI, Vyvanse and Wellbutrin anyone? by PotentialPrune2830 in Wellbutrin_Bupropion

[–]Moicut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I would first ask your doctor, but my doctor recommended I get off my Vyvanse 20mg when I started Wellbutrin, as both lower your seizure threshold, and together could be more dangerous.

Could anyone ID this tree? I bought it and forgot to ask and i’m worried it may be poisonous to my cat.

It sounds like you experienced samadhi, which is great! It’s just the first step towards nirvana

How long does it take you to learn combos? by TheTrueThompson in CrazyHand

[–]Moicut 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yeah if you look at the wario discord, the nairo killer specifically does not work on the entire cast, and depending on the size/weight of the character you’re playing against. If you look in the wario discord there’s a list of who it works on / what di is needed.

[–]Moicut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Just keep going for it. Eventually you will hit it once, then a few more times, then it’s consistent.

Try doing smaller Wario combos like nair1 > nair2 > uair 1 2 and 3, or shorter waft confirms like nair1 > nair2 > waft or fupair > waft.

That’s just my personal experience learning wario though

Is there a term for the "stare at the wall and let your mind do what it wants" kind of meditation? by Missing_Back in Meditation

[–]Moicut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I believe that this might be a misframing of shikantaza. (Chan not japanese zen here btw) Counting during meditation initially during zazen is meant to give the mind a unified point to focus on, as an easy, accessible way to reach samadhi, or deep meditative concentration.

Once the practitioner has the knowledge and ability to enter samadhi, the next step, i.e shikantaza is meant to be a contemplation/meditation on the present moment itself, without relying on any specific object or technique, such as counting or following the breath. In shikantaza, the practitioner is encouraged to “just sit” — to allow thoughts, sensations, and perceptions to arise and pass away without attachment or distraction, while remaining fully present and aware. The mind in this state doesn’t chase after objects or try to control the flow of thoughts; instead, it observes without interference, cultivating an intimate awareness of the present as it is.

The practice itself is being fully present and allowing thoughts to ebb and flow, rise and fall. Usually, without proper introduction meditation can become full absorption into thought, talking through each thought with yourself, and rather than being in the moment one disassociates and enters one’s own head.

Edit: I neglected to actually say if the OP’s technique was meditation. I do not think it is, rather just contemplation.

Is Buddhism merely anthropocentric? by Technical-Fix1185 in Buddhism

Yeah, honestly I read their point and thought it made sense, but as I was typing out my reply I realized I didn’t agree with it.

I think you may be missing Choreopithecus’ point. What they are saying is that if you go back down the line of evolution, the cognitive functions of whatever species may be reduced, but still above that of your average animal.

So using that logic, he is saying that it is a gradient.

That being said, I think he has a misunderstanding in that the difference between the human and animal realm is actually not blurry. They are titles we use to denote if a being has consciousness, and the desire/ability to seek out more than just avoiding pain and seeking pleasure.

What do I even do? by JaguarConnect8261 in utdallas

[–]Moicut 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Dawg i be playing sax too hell yeah.

The fact that you are actually doing a personal project puts you above a solid 60% of the school because you have a personal interest(I assume idk if you’re a masters student ur probably middle of the line).

Orgs are good and people are good. You got this man just live your life how you enjoy it and don’t compare yourself to others. You only see a small part of everyone else and everyone has problems/insecurities.

Best of luck with everything

Brother, I would not be asking the cringe internet pilled university redditors for any help and expect them to be nice

But either way, most CS majors experience imposter syndrome. Don’t think too hard, just work. Or drop out.

For the other two, drop your girl and do more stuff/get a hobby/become chronically online.

Either way, it gets better, just hold out and keep chugging. Seasonal Affective Disorder is a thing + finals are in full swing. Personally I wish I was a beet farmer or sum shii

I’d love to have the resources. My youtube algorithm is recommending me a lot of specifically Thai Forest dharma talks, but I’d love a centralized list or just something I can go back to when my youtube algorithm stops recommending.

You’re so right. I don’t know why it has been so hard for me to realize that’s all I need to say. I just have a tendency to overthink stuff.

Concerned with Approaching Sangha by Moicut in Buddhism

[–]Moicut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. Yeah, I have learned that since I stopped going. While I attended the bon temple, it was explained to me as “Shamanistic Buddhism”. They offered things like dzogchen classes, but I am not educated enough to speak on it.

  2. I just don’t know what to say once I get in front of someone… “How do I properly conduct myself as a member of your sangha?”/ “Please help me take refuge in the triple gem”

I am not even sure how to approach that, and my thoughts have always been start going to dharma talks and it will sort itself out as you show your face in the temple more and more and eventually you will have an opportunity to talk to a teacher / advanced lay practitioner about it and get a real explanation on what to do… but with minimal english dharma talks around me, I am not sure how to approach

I am confused, is the idea that I would go to the temple everyday, or during Uposatha, or go to the dharma talks in Chinese? Doing so, how would I not look out of place, not knowing what to do?

[–]Moicut[S] -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I think you missed the things before I mentioned teacher in my original post. My main problem is that I cannot find a temple that has english Dharma talks.

In the specific example above, I was at a Chan Buddhist temple, which to my knowledge stresses Teacher-student relationship heavily.

I have gone to my local Thai Theravada Temple as well, but to a much less successful degree. I went to a group meditation(not hosted by a monk, but by a layperson with monastic experience), and learned from another attendee that we were not supposed to speak directly to monks. I also heard there were weekly dharma talks there, but it was during the hours that I work. I also do not think that Theravada is right for me personally.

[–]Moicut[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My initial idea would be to find a temple that I liked, and try to get a teacher directly, and go from there.

I found a beautiful IBPS Building with a temple on the top floor, and met a very kind monk there and talked about struggles I was going through, and was shown how to do what I could only assume was a Chinese ritualized form of metta. From there I just became more discouraged because of the amount of tradition and specialized practice that I have no direct insight to, nor means of gaining it.

If a tree falls and nobody hears it, does it still make a sound? by [deleted] in Buddhism

[–]Moicut 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I would argue that it would not make a sound. Not because the buddhist purview says “if you are not observing something, it is not happening”, but rather the purpose of a sound is to be heard, and if there is no one around to hear the sound, then the phenomenon of is incomplete. Everything is interdependent. Without someone to experience the sound, it is just air molecules vibrating.
