    German friends, take a hard look at yourselves. The past is not far away; it is content in the present. Karma will follow you like a shadow, yours and that of your ancestors. Do not look away, do not point to others: look within, and remember. This concerns you (and us as well).

    Different context, but nevertheless true. People are suffering and dying right now in the name of health and their number (not recorded in any statistic) will grow, maybe exponentially for some time.

    Not needing a special day for this. Please remember the topic all the time! If people actually did this, we wouldn't go into that direction again.
    People are reducing the topic on guys in brown uniforms with swastikas shouting: "Heil Hitler!"

    Well, that is not gonna happen again (only a few morons will do that). I comes differently with the same or worse outcome.

    When I see someone drowning in doubts, uncertainties and inhibitions, I can't help but............ give him the coup de grace, pushing him further down, to aggravate his condition, to the extreme consequences: social death...........but liberation from roles, masks and his conditioning, true healing (but not for society).

    "Only the humans, the human intellect are/is able to fundamentally change their planet and therefore their basis of life. Other lifeforms don't do that (endanger their future survival)"

    Would you agree to this? :creep:

    The reason for this profile post was once again the "Power of Now" book (finished it five minutes ago). A similar statement about humans/human intellect was used at a few points in a chain of arguments – to underline the unnatural way of (human) life. Using a wrong argument in a chain undermines the proof (sorry – I studied maths).

    Not saying that our lifestyle is good. Quite the opposite. Our intellect brought us luxury at the price of endangering all life. No matter if looking at this from the cognitive or emotional (spiritual?) perspective: Continuing this way (pollution) is wrong. Earth, all life (including us) is too valuable to destroy it – no matter if with thermonuclear war or with runaway greenhouse effect or with other methods.

    I noticed with great displeasure that the background/image I had set up on my profile (sakuras) was removed. I thought it was a kind reward for all my contributions (retro-reviews, tutorials, beta-testings, tips, advertising with my mere presence, etc.) What a disappointment! Too bad!!

    Not "not noticed"; I can't see any of the profile background images because of the adblock filter
    ||gbatemp.net/data/profile_banners/*
    I've also set the accessibility option to not apply custom colors on profiles.

    See, I'm actively supporting the site with money – previously on Patreon, now through the built-in account upgrades. I sent them $54 on day 1 of the new upgrades for a year. Not because of "patron perks" (never set a picture, never set colors), but to make a statement: There must be another way to fund a site besides ads!

    My network is protected (sic!) by Pi-hole, my browsers have uBlock origin and uMatrix (or NoScript) as general protection against malicious scripts, malvertising and to get rid of ads.
    Using GBAtemp that much for free doesn't feel right with those blockers shredding their source of income (opposed to other sites they didn't implement anti-adblock scripts).

    Never noticed this before. Years and years of using my trusty LCD based TrekStor e-book reader 3.0. This device is made for "The Power of Now"
    Sorry for the bad picture. My camera doesn't handle low-light very good. And it doesn't handle LCDs very good. Combine it and you get this:

    It's no coincidence that you notice it right now as you read that book: it's what psychoanalyst C.G.Jung calls "synchronicity": an event dictated by the Unconscious, manifesting simultaneously inside and outside (a fact you would hardly accept :P).

    Jung states something more radical and incredible. E.g. You're passionate (obsessed) with ancient Egypt and its culture, and "coincidentally" everywhere you go you see lizards (mini-crocodiles) on walls, cockroaches (like beetles) pestering you, greyhounds (like Anubis) regularly crossing the street with their masters, etc.

    Am a quarter into the book. Oh my… He is constantly contradicting himself (and forbids any form of critique – because it would be identifying oneself with the intellect). Heavy usage (abuse) of circular reasoning. Pointing out why [statement] is wrong and doesn't work is overruled by "You did not truly do […]"
    Calling evaluation/assessment the problem itself is a neat method to protect the own doctrine…
    • Wow

    …while protecting other habits (opinions) is just the intellect "protecting itself from getting identified/detected" in order to prevent enlightenment.

    Constantly attacking the reader ("it is just the reader who feels attacked and must overcome this to get on higher spiritual level"). You, identifying with your intellect, the not true self, are the problem.

    Any objection is invalid (saying this is wrong of course). Quod licet Iovi, non licet bovi.

    We won't come to an agreement on that book, but I will read it till the end. I'd like to thank you for your recommendation. It is important to evaluate completely different points of view instead of insisting on the own opinion no matter what.

    I'm glad you feel compelled to read it to the end, even if it doesn't fit with your thinking and your way of being (your Weltanschauung ;)).
    It is very appreciable and praiseworthy that you want to understand, and that you want to confront a view that you do not share; it is a credit to you.^_^
    Anyway, best wishes for a happy new year.

    No matter how boring, or even worse painful it may be, the present moment is the only, true reality. Forget the past, don't anticipate the future with your imagination. Reside as much as possible in the "here and now"; stay grounded in it, and in the long run you will become strong, stable, resolute and confident...

    A direct confrontation, an explicit criticism or a blatant offense, are always better than that heartless, cowardly, underhanded and ill-concealed attack that is called indifference (or snobbism) and that most pretend not to see, tolerate or condemn in words but exercise (hypocritically) in fact.

    Nikokaro, before the old characters from the Pokémon world started their new adventures in Pokémon Chronicles, there’s a pilot episode of Pokémon chronicles called The legend of thunder. And it’s a three part episode. Besides, Johto Pokémon trainer Jimmy is a new character in the series.
