And taking the time off work to recover is unrealistic for working class

Public transport is the answer. But if that’s not an option, a tip someone gave me once was to imagine all other drivers as toddlers. Its kind of a compassion hack. Or elderly on medication.

For those that remember

I would argue that Buddhism is as distinct from Hinduism as an agnostic is from the abrahamic faiths.

This is a great take. Buddhism is more a philosophy of a worldview than a religious worldview.

Buddhism taking on concepts of other religions, even deities, is upaya (skilful means). Its a way draw as many people as possible out of suffering as possible. I seem to remember that’s the whole idea of mahayana Buddhism: getting as many people as possible at least partway towards enlightenment is better than only a few all the way.

Washington and Jefferson both had children with enslaved women. Jefferson with a fourteen year old called Sally Hemings.

Witchcraft

I would argue Jainism, Buddhism and Hinduism are as distinct as Islam, Christianity and Judaism.

Which are the sects of Buddhism that are so similar to Hinduism? (Curiosity, not attack - i studied Buddhism in depth for my degree, but that was 20 years ago)

Who are these people asking these questions? Im so out of touch

They look really depressing deflated. It may be an appearance thing combined with frugality. Its probably not that, but it could be that.

What’s the idea?

Yeah im reading the comics for the first time, I’ve read some of his books before. My gateway was the Pratchett joint venture. I hate that hes so rapey. Now I know a bit of how potter fans feel.

Death is before me today Like a sick man’s recovery, Like going outdoors after confinement. Death is before me today Like the fragrance of myrrh, Like sitting under sail on breeze day. Death is before me today Like the fragrance of lotus. Like sitting on the shore of drunkenness. Death is before me today Like a well-trodden way, Like a man’s coming home from warfare. Death is before me today Like the clearing of the sky. As when a man discovers what he ignored. Death is before me today Like a man’s longing to see his home When he has spent many years in captivity

I saw it in sandman but apparently its Ancient Egyptian

Agreed. Most of the time the man is expected to do the asking. From my personal, not reflective of the rest of society, experience…when dating if I asked someone out id plan the date and pay. It was usually second date when dating men, or once when I had to cancel on a first date I then asked the person out and arranged the first date.

The only time I ever felt a bit grumpy about paying was when the other person couldn’t decide between two dishes. I told them to order both, and I assumed theyd take their leftovers. They ate a tiny bit of each and didn’t take any home. Thats just wasteful. There was no next date.

^ all amazing

(Theres a couple of Jesus ones, but i would say overall its a pretty diverse collection for being 1980s British)

If i invite someone out to dinner I pay. If someone invites me out to dinner I expect them to pay. However, I think in general in the US most men and women expect the man to pay.
