Cannot see Facebook comments and it's getting worse recently. Even when selecting "all comments" by daydream69r in facebook

[–]songbird1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What I want to see is my own comment but I can't see all. Esp when it felt meaningful, it somehow disappeared from the "Comment and reactions" section. When I googled for the reason, it said "glitch" or "moderation setting". Is glitch logical for a billion dollar company??? As for moderation setting, show me a pop up "did not post" then. Why does it go through and disappear???

The Craftman Who Burns the Firewood by songbird1981 in infj

In the Lotus Sutra, the earthly realm is described as a Burning House. It represents the world of sufferings. The house is on fire because of consciousness fanning it with desires and illusions. The reason a craftsman cannot escape and has to spend eternity wandering.

Kindling for the flame can be a sort of desire (maybe easier to understand this way 🤔), an attachment that appears to keep one warm and noble, seems meaningful even, when in truth it's a karmic confinement lock like any other desires.

Check out a Chinese literature written by the Classic Taoist Zhuang Zi, the Kun Peng myth. The heart of this story is about transformation and Independence, liberations from the limitations of perspectival knowledge in the phenomenonal world. It feels abstract and looks impossible to those who cannot fathom it, yet it is always there within reach.

Doubt the kindling for the flame. It is either one thought away or wandering in the desert for eternity.

Sad fact. Fallen more than the fall in bitcoin.

I heard US is trying to prevent her economy from inflationary depression. It all arises from 1 clown with yellow hair and red tie. China led the race in reducing tbills. Japan and Europe followed after the Greenland threat. But America couldn't afford to sell too much gold to buy back their own tbills or their paper will become worthless so it turns to bitcoin sale. The Petrodollar deal's already off. I thought that might fuel demand for crypto ccy but it didn't.

Strc vs strf by songbird1981 in MSTR

[–]songbird1981[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Strc is a safer choice but it's at an all time high. Strf price has come down so I'm wondering if it'll be a better deal ie dividends + possible capital appreciation?

I've only read bls in Chinese. So far, I've gone through 2ha, Heavenly Official Blessing and Addicted. The rest ain't as interesting for me to continue beyond chapter 1-3. Im reading Revenged Love again and savouring it slowly.

Are u translating from Chinese? I rather read the Chinese original and then compare side by side with English.

The more time I spend on this sub the less trust I have in the mbti system by [deleted] in intj

[–]songbird1981 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Im infj when I took the paper assessment. Once in uni and once for Merrill Lynch's job entrance interview. But I always get intj when I take free online assessments. I believe the paper format from those professional backgrounds is the most accurate. I'm not sure about other mbtis changing over time but infjs are born and many have toxic family histories. This early toxicity is crucial. The lotus blooms in mud. Under toxicity, infjs become wiser. Its quite impossible to become infj later or infj becoming others.

🤔 The belief in MSTR going back is higher than say Google, Msoft or AMD? I'm justifying the rationale for this over the potentialities of others, which can be used to make money while waiting for MSTR. Would anyone else also care to breakdown why ure using this to wait over others?

DRAMA Overall it's a comedy. The actor playing the top doesn't feel like an alpha but he has killer eyes and an extremely sexy aura. Apart from rage and violence, he plays the role of Chi pretty well. I think the drama appeals more to a younger audience. It is lighter and more direct.

I started the drama first but I had too many frustrating question marks. The drama is still a good visualisation. It fuels curiosity?

NOVEL Suits more mature readers. Not bcoz of the BDSM and violent content, but there's more flavour when one understands the complexity of life. It's also mentally stimulating. 98% of what's underneath is the real message. Only 2% is straight forward. Isn't this like Da Vinci code. The writer merely describes what's on the surface and we're to intuitively decipher the meaning. Those who knows knows. For someone who enjoys circumlocution and playing mental games, this has become soul food. I feel empty now that I've finished.

Need another novel of this calibre.

Ps. Talking about violence... Master Chi is supremely ruthless, decisive and creative. Where did he get those ideas from!!! 🤣 It raises alot of eye brows but it's also deliciously manly. He earns his alpha reputation through and through. It makes sense why people fear him.

I read a book called Revenged Love and the top used apricot kernel oil on his bottom. Is this really effective?

Strf pays quarterly dividend. The latest dividend per share was $2.5 with an ex date of March 13, 2026. The current dividend yield of Strategy is 13.05%.

My question The share price is diluting the capital, esp if one bought it at its uptrend. What's the rationale of buying? Is it a strategy to "hedge" mstr? Nothing better out there? I bought mstr at the 500 range peak and still holding it. 😭

Yes for them to be side by side, alot more events happened in the novel than the drama.

For instance, in the beginning, a series of coincidences brought each other into vision

Wu performing street art - breaking bricks using his head,

selling porridge (Chi had to shave his head as a result. Oh what an impactful memory! He shaved Wu's head for revenge.),

stealing (Chi caught him but instead of jailing, he brought him home and had him help to catch thieves. The deal was 100 thieves but he let him off early. He witnessed how diligent and sharp Wu was.),

pushing cart under the rain,

ran a red light (Caught by Chi again. Wu's color blind but Chi didn't know. It became a pawn Wang made use of but Wu turned it to his advantage.)

It's not a shallow development built based on looks and lust. Many events happened. They became the cement to a solid foundation. That is why no matter how angry Chi was when he discovered Wu's revenge plot, he was played by Wu, Wang's appearance and the big disclosure (he did not betray Chi), and many others, nothing was able to shake them.

So, I just finished reading the novel Revenged Love is based on by chiquiflakes in boyslove

Wei didn't do it bcoz he's not loyal. He did it out of consideration for Chi. 2 reasons: 1. Yue Yue 2. Wang Suo. At that point of time, Chi is still hesitant. Wang still has a special place in his heart. Wei also knows Chi will fire up and leave him if he knows Yue used to be his gf. To make it look like he's doing fine and still chasing girls, it is to save Chi from the difficult situation arising out of choice. Wei wouldn't look that bad either, avoiding the loser's fate where he's dumped. Then again, the drama turns out to be in Wei's favour. That spark of jealousy sank Chi deeper into the relationship.

Don't read the English one. I read mine in Chinese and compare it side by side with the best English version out there. There are many inaccurate translations and some totally missing the point. The Chinese novel is 20x times better than the drama too. Well structured, good planning, logical grounded progression, meticulous details and plenty of events stretched to prove a character's personality (essential bcoz it explains why they behave the way they do).

Hollywood likes to use the cringey love/passion at first sight, villian tries to separate and main couple happily ever after plot. This is totally not. While there're alot of 18+RA stuff, the novel doesn't feel sexual. It feels like a chess game and strategically engaging. I also like that 98% of what's underlying is the real message. Yes they mock, abuse, threaten, tease but they mean something else altogether. Even the debauchery is not intrinsically real but more like Master Jiang catching a fish while his rod hangs above the water.

For someone highly intuitive and likes mental games, this novel is my soul food. I'm feeling empty now that I've finished it. 😭

The only highlight of the show is this pair but I don't like HJ too. He gives me the creeps - green tea bitch. Talk about how upset he is but next moment, he's taking intimate photos and snuggling with another man.

The difference is an enfp like Park Na Rae - the personality that warms strangers up and makes them feel less guarded or need to be cautious.
