  1. The flair feature on here still needs to be tweaked

    I open a flair tab on a post and it’s supposed to show the other posts in here that have the same flair. Most of the flair do just that but some don’t. Hopefully someone can fit it at some point.

    Is there a flair limit? Maybe that’s the issue

  7. I wonder if the AI companies will ever be sued for deceptively making their products pretend to be human, especially in order to replace humans. Phrases like 'I want' and 'our bodies' (talking about biology or medical conditions), and even the word 'I', are deceptive, coming from an AI.

  10. A quotation from La Rochefoucauld

    When our vices desert us, we flatter ourselves that we are deserting our vices.
     
    [Quand les vices nous quittent, nous nous flattons de la créance que c’est nous qui les quittons.]

    François VI, duc de La Rochefoucauld (1613-1680) French epigrammatist, memoirist, noble
    Réflexions ou sentences et maximes morales [Reflections; or Sentences and Moral Maxims], ¶192 (1665-1678) [tr. Kronenberger (1959)]

  11. Ven Tuvaṭaka: 'Seeing in what way is a monk unbound, clinging to nothing in the world?'

    Buddha: 'He should put an entire stop to the root of objectification-classifications: "I am the thinker"'

    (Aṭṭhakavagga 14, Ṭhānissaro Bhikkhu's translation).

  13. The most effective way I've found to overcome habitual desires/cravings is contemplating impermanence (anicca). Throughout the day, if you see everything, including the body and thoughts, as fleeting and not good enough (compared to eternal spiritual things), everything in the world loses its appeal.

  18. A quotation from Euripides

    CHORUS: Never, oh goddess, let fly at me an inescapable arrow
    from your golden bow, after you drench it in desire.
     
    [ΚΥΚΛΩΨ: μήποτ᾽, ὦ δέσποιν᾽, ἐπ᾽ ἐμοὶ χρυσέων
    τόξων ἀφείης ἱμέρῳ
    χρίσασ᾽ ἄφυκτον οἰστόν.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 633ff, Second Stasimon, Strophe 1 (431 BC) [tr. Luschnig (2007)]

  19. A quotation from Euripides

    CHORUS: Visitations of love that come
       Raging and violent on a man
       Bring him neither good repute nor goodness.
       But if Aphrodite descends in gentleness
       No other goddess brings such delight.
     
    [ΚΥΚΛΩΨ: ἔρωτες ὑπὲρ μὲν ἄγαν ἐλθόντες οὐκ εὐδοξίαν
       οὐδ᾽ ἀρετὰν παρέδωκαν ἀνδράσιν: εἰ δ᾽ ἅλις ἔλθοι
       Κύπρις, οὐκ ἄλλα θεὸς εὔχαρις οὕτως.]

    Euripides (485?-406? BC) Greek tragic dramatist
    Medea [Μήδεια], l. 627ff, Second Stasimon, Strophe 1 (431 BC) [tr. Vellacott (1963)]
