If he gets the trademark, won't Christian Cage be able to sue WWE for mentioning Captain Charisma in their VODs and stuff?

I think that's called Pay 2 Win. In all purchases are fine as long as they're not required for having fun.

One a little... less graceful lol

So Def Rebel slapped a basic ass trap beat over it?

Thankfully they kept the melody because you can sort of train your mind to ignore the trap beat.

Why not? Is it because she's a better heel or is there some controversy?

Which match was this? Looks like a singles match.

This is when AI summarization is useful. Been using that a lot on Samsung Internet.

That's an assumption though. Again, we have to take Buddha's word for it.
Can the mind actually rise above the body even when it's a product of the brain?
I don't know for sure. Instances like this is where I think "faith" is needed in Buddhism.

Smartphone cameras are more than capable these days though. Even more budget friendly ones have decent cameras.

I agree with that. You do need "faith" that this effort is worthwhile.

Honestly, one of the big questions I have is whether we can biologically even achieve Nirvana, since we'd have to go against billions of years of evolutionary instincts. Maybe that's what's stopping me from taking the next step.
November 26, 2024 at 4:17 PM
You've misunderstood. Maybe it's because of the word "Shraddha" being translated in to "faith" in English. It doesn't capture the true meaning of the word.

Nirvana takes a LOT of practice and determination to achieve. Trusting a dude from 2500 years ago doesn't provide enough motivation for such a journey. Maybe I was taught different Buddhism to you, but I've learned it all my life as a Sri Lankan. His words don't matter if you don't understand them.
November 26, 2024 at 1:30 PM
He did not say that. It is the exact opposite of what he said.

Without realizing through our own reasoning, no amount of practice will amount to anything. Again, belief and faith is famously discouraged.

It's the first thing you get taught as a Buddhist.

I've heard that in Japan, people don't actually leave the theatre until after the credits have rolled in order to respect the people that worked on the movie.

Global warming will give you the flip side of that as well.

You won't really feel the 1 or 2 degree increase in temperature from global warming, but it'll supercharge the existing weather cycles and lead to extreme weather conditions.

I think that's how we'll die. Long before being cooked.

WWE already has more titles than the Jacksonville Company

With probably the best videogame soundtrack there is.

Dominic objectively isn't as good as MJF though.

But I guess if you factor in relevancy, I feel like Dom does beat MJF. Dominic gets more screentime and prominence as things stand right now.

So is the Instagram comment sorting algorithm.

It doesn't sort comments by number of likes. It almost always shows some ridiculous ragebait with a lower number of likes.

It didn't do this a couple years back.
November 25, 2024 at 9:13 PM
Yeah it probably picks up everything that contains Sinhala in it.

When the among us memes starts piling in, it'll be flooded with them because of "ඞ"

His core message was to reason everything for yourself.

If Buddhism disappeared today, someone would eventually arrive at the same conclusions using the logic of causality, in a different language and using different analogies. Essentially, using different words. Quotes and lines don't matter.
November 25, 2024 at 8:58 PM
It doesn't, really.

Buddhism isn't about faith in Buddha's words, but about understanding causality and how his conclusions are logical conclusions rather than baseless claims.
The Buddha's teachings are tools for realizing the truth through logic and reasoning, not commandments or rules.
