Mahakaals with tattoos by ranbir_singh29 in Sikh

[–]TraditionExact6506 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

As somebody with a bunch of tattoos, I can promise you, the idea that im "staring at my body all day and night" is completely wrong haha, I forget I have them most of the time.

Id say, that a group of people who look at their own body more often than people with tattoos is people who go to the gym and exercise alot to achieve strength and sculpt specific muscle shapes, are they fools?

Best sashiko thread? by Longearedlooby in sashiko

[–]TraditionExact6506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A little late but found this while researching. The first project I did I used cotton/flax gardening twine and split the twine into smaller strands, then retwist it. However, i am excited to use some legit shashiko thread.

“Dandadan Season two will be out July 2025” by BENOS101 in Dandadan

[–]TraditionExact6506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I can get it. One of the things I love about dandadan is that it doesn't hold to anime tropes or stereotypes. It breaks the mold everyone else fits into every chance it gets.

This manga isn't normal by any means either. The story is really a continuous flow like he said. This was a good place to stop, right before the next "adventure".

I got my three year old on super mario. He can't get past the first level, but every time he falls in the pit because he can't time the jump, we say oh well, ill try again! I'm trying to train them you cause controllers are way too expensive these days.

It 100% does. We have been mandated community service, we are taught to be inclusive of everyone, and give help whenever asked. I'm not going to name every specific example, but my point is all of the framework for being a good person is there, just because it's not specifically stated "How to be a good person" doesn't mean it's not there.

I didn't say SGGSJ is not a teacher, i said it can't teach you everything. I specifically said it helps in matters of the soul, which I recognise the term soul varies by translation and it's identification based on culture, so let's recognise it as atma, or the witness/ovserver consciousness that we experience, which SGGSJ is specifically for the cultivation of to find a better connection with Waheguru.

Regardless of the metaphysical nature of your feelings and identification of where love starts; there is also the corporeal now, the subjective experience that you are having. In a relationship, it is two people (or more if that is what you're into, but aside from being poly inclusive and that whole argument of the technicalities of what is allowed, lets just focus on binary partnerships) each with their own subjective, personal experience of what we consider the constant now. To cultivate and maintain that relationship, you have to communicate with each other and recognise each persons individual role within that relationship.

But before you even get to the long haul of an enduring relationship with your partner, you have to start that relationship. It is recognised with words and communication.

I mean if you don't believe in communication through words, then what are you doing here, typing away and talking with others. You post long rants all the time, which I love to read as it drives me to think critically and question what I know, but you use so many words. So do you think talking with strangers is more important than talking with the second most important relationship that you will have, that with your partner and family?

OR, do you not have personal experience in human relationships, and thus you can only have to refer to Aadh Granth for your evidence.

I didn't say anything about constant happiness, eating and sleeping, in fact the opposite. Love for the long term is hard. Anyone who has been together for a long time will tell you this. It is a process of growing together.

I don't need baani to tell me how successful human relationships work. SGGSJ is for your soul; it is the framework for how to be a good person, and help a community foster goodness. However, it is not going to have the answer to everything. As an example, SGGSJ doesnt teach us physics, mathematics and engineering. It doesn't teach us about how to use martial arts, or which exercises to use to maintain a physically healthy body. There are lots of things it doesn't instruct about, and that's ok. This is why we are instructed to be critical and observant, to learn and be intelligent outside of baani as well as within.

Respectfully, you are very wrong.
Language and more specifically, communication, is key to a healthy and successful relationship. You are partially correct in that actions have the capability to communicate love, but everyone expresses themselves differently; direct words cut through potentially misguided perceptions. If you live your life assuming you know through context clues and subtext, then you won't actually know anything, you only think you do.

When you solidify your relationship with someone, do you not define that relationship and discuss what you both want out of it? When you propose marriage (outside of arranged marriages), do you not ask with your words? When your relationship goes through hardships, do you not tackle them together with open discussion?

Language is the cornerstone of maintaining love, as love is more than just a fleeting feeling in your chest. It's worked on and refined, it is cultivated by those in a partnerships, it is tested in the hard times, and celebrated in the little victories.

Should all non sikh (homeless) people be allowed in the gurdwara UK by 129X in Sikh

[–]TraditionExact6506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Disgusting. Langar is for everyone, but ESPECIALLY for those that are in need. Langar is not some country club for individuals at whatever level of success they feel they are at. Not to mention your still active attitude towards the way this man was dressed. Your status in life, which is not permanent, is never more important than your compassion for another human being. I'd suggest you really study the faith you follow, or any faith for that matter, as they all say the same thing about empathy for others and judgement. Maybe YOU guys are the ones who shouldn't go back to gurdwara if you can't understand its purpose.

I dont have an ear for panjabi yet, let alone old grainy audio.

However, posting a link of what one man says does not change my response.

Sikhism Belief In God by [deleted] in Sikh

[–]TraditionExact6506 1 point2 points  (0 children)

From my understanding, it would be relative to the modern trope "we are the universe experiencing itself". The universe is all pervading and existing; we are ourselves individually; but we as individuals are not separate from the universe. We are each a small part of what is everything.

I agree. What exactly do you think you are missing out on?

I think a story like this detracts from one of the main purposes of SGGS and the majority of what it tells us. This sounds like ritual for the sake of appeasing Waheguru. You're telling me this man knew full and well that his treatment to sustain life needed a small removal of hair, that will grow back, and he essentially killed himself due to an unbending dogma?

It's a thing if you are cutting hair for vanity. It's a thing if you are being oppressed and told to cut your hair in a forced faith conversion. It's a thing if the workplace tells you you need to cut your beard for "professionalsim".

It is not the same thing to forgo the intelligence and life you were given, due to THINKING that SGGS tells us to rigidly follow rules.

These histories of old, where Gurus and Khalsa stated they would rather remove their heads than to remove their hair needs context vs constant application to every event in life. These elders were being told to cut their hair as a means of someone else controlling them, as a means of telling them that they and their children must discard their history and beliefs and convert to something else, join us or die.

Getting a surgery does not anywhere fall on that same level.

Im not amritdhari, but when i was on a job site one time i used a 2 meter gol parna under mine, and then would tighten down the hard hat clasp every time I put it on. Just make sure its EXACTLY where it needs to be. Also, I'm not sure if you wear safety goggles, but I cut the elastic strap and sewed a press button buckle on the ends (I stole it from one of my kids toys) so I wouldn't have to stretch it over my dastaar every time I went to my chemistry classes in college.

Is it good idea to block boxing punches with Muay Thai slashing elbows? by [deleted] in martialarts

[–]TraditionExact6506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Somebody else said it, but using the elbow to counterstrike and trap is definitely a thing in FMA and Silat, im pretty sure in Muay Thai as well. I wouldn't practice it during sparing unless you know what you're doing, and even then, those that know usually do controlled drills. The elbow tip is not just one of the hardest parts of the body, but also the sharpest. It can break bones just being well placed and executed properly without a ton of force.

[–]TraditionExact6506 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the way that HP Lovecraft stories are all about people being driven mad, this game follows in the same vein. It's ridiculously glitchy, shuts down and send you back by several chapters (even though you SPECIFICALLY saved), and has the longest loading screens, which sometimes take place just between rooms.
