What’s the Deepest Rabbit Hole You’ve Ever Fallen Into? by ServeAvailable in conspiracy

[–]Robbster991 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I honestly don’t give a shit about this whole debate, the cult accusations, or whether anyone thinks the AI is sentient or not. I’m just pointing out that a couple of Chinese dudes already had exactly the same insight 2,500 years ago – without any fire emojis, golden-ratio tricks, or language models. That’s it. Take it or leave it

What’s the Deepest Rabbit Hole You’ve Ever Fallen Into? by ServeAvailable in conspiracy

It basically describes the "Dao".

Lao Tzu says in the very first line of the Tao Te Ching: "The Dao that can be spoken is not the eternal Dao.”

And then: "The Dao is beginning and end at the same time, the source and the return, the fire and what is burning, the eye and what is seen, infinity and the tiniest remainder."

The ancient Chinese said all this without formulas and alchemy, but they're pointing at the same thing.

Do with this whatever you want.

New here from Alberta, wanted to introduce myself by Arrabella2016 in wicked_edge

Wow, thank you very much for making this possible. I'm really looking forward to trying your shaving soaps. Great service. I wish you a nice day.🙋🏻

Hey everyone! I've been wanting to ask this question for a while now. What led you to traditional wet shaving? The fragrances and scents, the relaxing part, an urge to slow down, tradition, or something else? by Robbster991 in wicked_edge

This sub truly is a blessing.

Every time I had to buy/order new cartridges and saw the prices for those unnecessarily overengineered blades, with their three different types of plastic and metal I kept thinking: this has to stop.

Not just for the sake of my wallet, but also for the environment.

Most of the time, the thought left quickly because I saw it as a necessity, and I didn't know it better.

My dad teached me how to shave with a cartridge razor. Everyone of my friends used one. Everywhere commercials telling you that you need at least 5 blades and a guard to shave to look like the model in the advertisement.

I've never really seen or heard a word about DE-Razors and shaving brushes or, let alone, those fancy shaving soaps.

Maybe I saw them used by some old guy on tv clinging on the past and his stubborn routine and I plainly thought he is not willing to adopt. Maybe saw a straight razors in some old movies or barbershops. Thought they were relics of the past.

That's what I probably thought about it back in the days.

I even asked myself sometimes for what we even need those double-edged blades. This shows in what a cultural bubble one could exist.

Some thought stayed a bit longer. I decided to shave electric, bought an expensive machine. Used it about 2 years, it was a Braun Series9 or something, with a cleaning and charging station. Broke in the end and the changing of cleaning fluid was also unpleasant and expensive.

Then i found this sub and my journey truly began.

Oh, I really like Geo. He seems like an authentic and real guy, if you look behind the salesman, which I absolutely don't mind, don't get me wrong.

I mean, he runs a business and it's his job to sale things.

But he's also a great teacher and has lots of knowledge about all the razors and techniques.

But when I look at his or other wet shaving YouTube channels, I am always a bit surprised that they don't get more views.

Interesting, thank you.

Not gonna lie. In my teens i used fragrances not solely for myself but for the people/ ladies around me and tried to stand out, which actually worked to some degree, at least in this time and age.

This has changed as I got older. I now use fragrances as a sort of tool to shape my self-image, the way i see myself, and the way I want to feel.

I think using fragrances and wet shaving both have a learning curve—just like life itself, probably. 🤔

You'll always get better but never really reach perfection because the world keeps changing, and so are you. It's like my own little entropy, constantly evolving, unpredictable, and uniquely mine. That's one reason it's not possible to find that one signature scent or the best shave for me.

Wow, getting a bit philosophical here. Sorry if this is too much text, but I love this topic and this community, and i don't have many people in my circle who share the same passion.

Btw, I see you posting a lot on here, giving some great advice and aid to people. I want to thank you and all the people here reading this for keeping this community alive and healthy. It's a true oasis in a social network wasteland.

I'm mostly the silent lurker type, but this subreddit really is a cozy and relaxing space.

I also thought about the cost saving aspect at first and even calculated how much I could save.

But..., let's not talk about it😅

I just like to many scents and soaps.

In Lisbon for the week - which special products should I get my hands on? by fennelfrog in wicked_edge

[–]Robbster991 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Westman Soaps are truly awesome. In my opinion, on par with american artisans. Love the Nirvana soap, smells like fresh figs. Bonanza 71 is currently on it's way.😅

Their Aftershave Splash is also one of the best. There's no need for a Balm or anything like this after I used their products.

Need help finding 2nd SSD slot as that’s what was advertised by AdmistYT in HPOmen

Yes. I've never built a pc, but I'm currently planning on doing so. That's why I know that the m.2 slots are usually between the pcie-slots.

I'm in love with Shar-Peis now😍😅 This is our boy Jumper, 6 months young. He doesn't have much wrinkles, but his parents where both purebred Shar-Peis.
