papalonian,

I’ll posit a (very poorly and drunkenly abridged) story from the Buddha that I actually think of on a somewhat daily basis, in contrast of all the Buddha-bad comments:

A man approaches the Buddha in the city. He says to him, “I hate you Buddha, you are always telling people how to live their lives and what they need to do to be happy, how can you have all the answers?”

The Buddha says, “I will ask you a question. If I give you a gift, would you accept it?”

The man says of course he would not.

The Buddha asks, “If you do not accept my gift, then to whom does my gift belong?”

The man says, “The gift belongs to you, because I did not accept it.”

The Buddha replies, “Then I treat your hatred as a gift. You offer me anger, and I do not accept it; therefore, your hatred and anger belongs only to you, and only you may suffer it’s consequences.”

So when people get angry at me over things that are beyond my control, I reject their anger, let them yell at what they think is the problem, and move on.

Then the Buddha punches me in the face and I am enlightened.

[Bug] "Show x more replies" while viewing a comment with parent comments hidden displays additional replies with full context markers (see photo)

I couldn’t find a great way to describe what I’m seeing. But if you’re deep in a comment thread, or viewing a reply to your comment, and have parent comments collapsed, if there are additional comments, choosing to show them adds the number of context indicators (the little lines on the left) that it would have were the...

“I think it’s funny how everyone’s saying I got booted off stage, when in reality, we just did a hard cutoff time and just happened to leave at that time…”

Elegoo Neptune 3 no longer turns on

Hi all. Yesterday, my printer stopped responding to commands from the touch screen, so I shut the printer off and turned it back on. Now, the printer and screen turn on (power fan spins and screen backlight comes on), but the screen does not display anything, and the printer cannot be reached via USB. Multiple power outlets and...

papalonian,

Haha, hilarious! Great meme!

Oh, wait. It’s a political post with misleading or inaccurate information with no attempt at humor. Woops, my mistake.

papalonian,

Imagine being a Texan trying to brag about having your own power grid, after dozens of people froze to death because of how shitty that power grid is.

papalonian,

Not just hotels but houses too. There would be a slot inside the medicine cabinet for disposing razors into the wall. Dude who came up with the idea was probably like, “we’ll all be dead from nuclear bombs before any of these fill up or needs to be renovated”.

[Bug] Liking/ upvoting posts marks as read on refresh

Noticed this the other day, if you upvote a post without opening it, it will be marked as read on a refresh. I upvote posts in c/asklemmy that have an interesting question, but not many comments, so that I’ll remember to open them later, but I noticed posts I never opened were being flagged as read when I went looking for...

papalonian,

I wish I could suspend my disbelief in videogames as well as I can for movies and TV shows.

“Is this the bad guy?”

" ‘Bad guy’? No! I’m simply a highly regarded mentor figure with a mysterious past who -”

“Alright this guy’s gonna betray me”

papalonian,

I wonder if there was a moment where he was like, “oh haha, very funny guys. Sure it just crashed into the WTC, totally.”

papalonian,

Gee I sure wish RATM never got so political /s

papalonian,

There’s probably gonna be a lot of trolls in here, but I have to say this is incredibly sad. I do hope his sermons preached love and acceptance rather than the hate that caused him to take his life.

papalonian,

I sent an email. Will update with update.
