Idk where western buddhism comes from because most of the people I listen to for dharma talk are western yet they don't ascribe to whatever Lumi talks about.

 

"Western buddhism" (in the use I'm talking about of the genre of self-help writers) doesn't refer to actual Buddhism practiced in the West (though Google says that is what the term normally means), it refers to very-much-Westerners who take ideas from Buddhism and repurpose and reshape them to be more relevant to western audiences. It honestly has nothing to do with the religion of Buddhism, though it does pass down some similar thinking (at random, with no commitment). "Western Buddhism" as in westerners practicing actual Buddhism is completely different, I wouldn't even make a differentiation at that point - I'd just call it Buddhism.

 

 

And sorry for no posts, I didn't post the last few hours I was online, and then I went to bed at 4AM and against my better judgement decided to start playing Pokemon Emerald Rogue which I had just put on my DS, and I then played it all the way until going to sleep at 10AM. lol

How was your day, TB?

my day... it was okay, kind of long and dissapointing anytime I checked the time but it eventually ran out to the point where I got to go home. But seriously I am filled with hatred I hate people and humankind what a worthless species

 

I'm overrun with boxes anytime I finish putting any away there is a dozen more on the way so I'm constantly moving. Person gives me a broken skid and I told them that so they would replace it because what am I to do with a broken skid? It seems problematic

 

Later on they stop replacing my skids they pull so I don't have anywhere to place certain boxes at anymore and I'm stressed out. I ask him if he could please put skids there and he just says "Pick one you like. You'll find the time." Get fucked. My entire day is ruined now because all I can think about is how much hate I'm filled with and it makes me irritable to everything else. I got mad at a stupid skid that was not well stacked and it was falling over so I slam box into the ground and kicked them. Other than that I seem so calm after he says that to me because all I say is "boxes keep coming..." and I go back to struggling. I hate doing the job of two people. Managing these belts is not supposed to be this stressful and it isn't when there is two people on them like you're supposed to. But there is only one on all of them and everyone is expected to be as productive as two people. I eventually gave up and basically said fuck this place why do I care so much about doing a good job and I started going slow. That was so close to the end of the day it ended up not resulting in a congestion situation

 

Oh another annoying thing. A girl came over and politely asked me to wrap up my skids and to pull skids off the machines when I have the time. Fuck you I am already doing that and I can't pull skids off the machine because boxes keep coming. I take a small break between box swarms sometimes but I also use those times to wrap things. I wasn't mad about it until I thought about it in retrospect after I am angry filled. I hate cussing but I have negative feelings welding up inside me Idk how else to release it

I’ve been lurking, I just don’t have anything meaningful to contribute to the conversation right now because I’m not a Buddhist. And I’m sure that any questions that I have about making a Tulpa have already been asked dozens of times before and I just need to stop being lazy and go combing through the FAQ and forums for answers

[TurboSimmie]

Aww TB! That sounds really frustrating.

 

And hi Alex! 👋

[TB]

You can ask questions people have already answered I"m sure they'll be happy to answer them again. Also I'm not really a buddhist though I ascribe to a lot of buddhist technology whatever you want to call it. Lumi isn't a buddhist either.

Hey Simmie! How’s it going?

 

Hey TB! I guess what I meant to say is, that I don’t really understand this spirituality talk. I find it very confusing

accidentally skipped TB in original post

I can clarify things if you want to if you are interested. If you are not interested that's fine too.

 

I find buddhism to be awesome though. I like the idea of someone striving dilligently to search for the noble truth of all things. They sit in meditation examining their experience in fine detail. "Not this... Not that..." they say, as they observe the three characteristics continuously explaining every sensation

Okay so I was playing my ttrpg in my head and I realize I might have to make a change. Instead of damage doing strength minus endurance I'm damage, maybe I will make it if it is withing 5 it does 3 damage, 10 it does 6, 15 it does 9, etc... Idk if that is confusing or slow or not, but like my name can do 60 damage to byakko in 1 turn using just rushes and it seems kind of ridiculous. I can't balance the game to revolve around making byakko strong either though so I have to be aware of that but it seems reasonable anyway does it? 

i don't think that it would be too confusing or that the math would be too complicated, but whether it would be a good idea.., i could not say. i still have to finish reading through it all
