How it feels like
  • That was my experience until I tried Svelte. I loved Vue but didn't like the transition to Vue 3. When I tried Svelte it blew me away and I never looked back.

  • A thought I had about rebirth

    Brief disclaimer. I'm very new to Budhhism as a whole. I started listening to podcasts and reading sutras just over one month ago and I've been practing Zen since becoming interested. I guess I'm what would be called a "Buddhist observer".

    Since becoming interested in buddhism, it has really spoken to me. Every aspect of resonates with me. Well every aspect except one that seems very core to Buddhism: The concept of rebirth. I've struggled with this concept as someone who is very non-spiritual and skeptical of something that I cannot observe personally or read trustworthy un-biased accounts of.

    This morning while sitting zazen, an interesting thought occured to me. I know we are supposed to let thoughts go when sitting zazen, but I just couldnt seem to let this one go so I followed it through. What if rebirth is not being reborn in the physical sense nor the spiritual, but rather we are reborn through our friends and family, and those that we have some sort of impact on in our lifetime. When we die we still live in the memories of those that care about us, although their perception of us is a different us than what we saw ourselves as.

    This seemed profound to me, so I decided to follow it further. If we are reborn in the memories of others, then part of ourselves is carried through to the individuals that they have an impact on. This would be an endless cycle of rebirth. Then I thought of the story of The Buddha recalling memories from all of his previous lives and realized one could interpret this as having insight into the memories of people that had a profound impact on them, and their memories, and so on.

    The last connection that I could make to what I've learned of buddhism so far is the last of the five rememberences. "My only true possession is my actions.". The five rememberences is what really awed me about Buddhism to begin with and I realized that our actions are what people remember us by. Therefore our rebirths are a made purely from our actions.

    I wonder if this could be taken further and what other links this idea could have to buddhism.

    Im creating this post just because I want to see how others feel about this idea. I want to humble myself before those that have been practicing for many years so that I can learn. Thanks for reading!

    HG Kampfer Custom
  • Thank you!

  • HG Kampfer Custom

    I just wanted to share my custom HG Kampfer that Ive been working on for a few weeks. I used Tamiya purple and did some post shading with it, then panel-lined it, hand painted some details, added water slide decals for the emblems and finished it off with a matte top coat. Would love to get some feedback on it! (I went ahead and added a link to the pictures on imgur too simce for some reason they get rotated on Lemmy :/

    The Witch from Mercury - Episode 24 spoiler thread
  • Yeah its a bit refreshing since I was 100% expecting it to end in tragedy. I felt there was little chance that Suletta would make it out alive.

  • The Witch from Mercury - Episode 24 spoiler thread
  • Yes this is still the big question left in my head as well. We still have almost no info on Mio's mother. I was thinking it would turn out that she lived in quiet zero the same way that Eri lived in Aerial, but that doesnt seem to be the case. I also dont quite understand how Elan 4, Sophie, Norea, and all of the other's who had died were all present in the data storm if they died far away from it. Does this imply that somehow all permet is linked?

  • Just wanted to share my last build: MG Sinanju Ver Ka!
  • Wow this looks incredible! Nice job. I really like the asymmetry of the paint job. At first I thought it was just my eyes playing tricks on me, but it really looks great and makes it more interesting.
