  • The Contract

    Jump

  • I associate it with a recent Chris Rock special (I think the one from 2018), but couldn't find the clip. A few comedians have made a similar joke over the years, though the earliest I could find was Stanhope like 2 decades ago: https://youtu.be/vXpsT3e8UsM?si=H5O35tJNDi9PzHvG

  • In Buddhist view: If all misfortune/suffering is deserved due to bad karma of past actions in a prior life, why advocate ahimsa/nonviolence?

    Jump

  • Imo, your friend, and some in this thread, misrepresent, or simply do not grasp beyond the very surface meaning, the nature of Karma. It is not good or bad - it simply is. It is the cause and effect in all of universe and existence as we perceive it. It is not that your individual bead on the chain will suffer or be rewarded for actions your previous bead form took (if you even believe in reincarnation), but rather that all of nature and all of existence is inextricably tied together, the influence and impact of one bead reverberates through the string that connects all and thus impacts all. Put another way, suffering and discord put into the universe will impact all future events, some to lesser degree than others. That impact may not necessarily be negative on the micro level for any given individual or life being, but on the macro level it nonetheless adds to the overall entropy and disharmony in the universe. The idea of nirvana is reaching a state where one is attuned to a state of consciousness and existence that does not generate Karma, but rather simply exists and floats on a universal wave, existing as an inseparable and fully necessary part of the wave, simply observing and letting what was, is, and always was going to be be.

  • Sounds great. Feel free to DM at your convenience. Re: pay, how about if you like it and choose to go with it you can donate whatever you feel is fair, otherwise no need since I don't want you to pay for something you don't end up going with. I make art for fun anyway so I'll enjoy the process either way :)

  • Looking for an artist

    Jump

  • I ask bc I'd be interested to take a crack at it, free of charge. It's been a while though since I've done a commissioned piece and with life things it'd be a week or two at the earliest before I could get an initial draft to you, but if you'd like to share the details and have me put something up I can start this weekend

  • Should we reconsider having children due to fears about the climate crisis?

    Jump

  • Yes, let's fully put our individual lives on pause in fear of the future instead of eating the fucking rich, warmongering, polution-driving corpocrats

  • What kind of design/style and timeline did you have in mind?

  • a way to list books by ratings in goodreads?

  • I've been using storygraph for a year now and couldn't be happier. Worth checking out as well if you're shopping around.

  • OpenAI transcribed over a million hours of YouTube videos to train GPT-4

  • You mean you dont want to watch a 30 minute video on "how to change a lightbulb" with only 30 seconds of actual content you need/were looking for shoved somewhere in the back that you spend more time searching for than if you had actually read the manual?!

  • Why is Lemmy, with a tiny fraction of Mastodon's MAU, more fun than Mastodon?

    Jump

  • To add to this, on Lemmy I often find myself both agreeing and disagreeing with a user depending on the topic and community. It adds a layer of additional context and nuance to that user. If I was just to follow the user vs. community, however, I may get the impression that the user is not worth following if I happen to run across them on a topic that we have disagreements on.
