To go on with my advice (that is, supposing
You need advice from me): Be careful about
The things you say and the people to whom you say them.
Avoid the man who asks too many questions.
No question but he’ll be a teller of tales;
An ear that eager can’t keep a secret for long,
And once a word slips out it won’t come back.
[Protinus ut moneam (si quid monitoris eges tu)
quid de quoque viro et cui dicas, saepe videto,
percontatorem fugito: nam garrulus idem est,
nec retinent patulae commissa fideliter aures,
et semel emissum volat irrevocabile verbum.]Horace (65–8 BC) Roman poet, satirist, soldier, politician [Quintus Horatius Flaccus]
Epistles [Epistularum, Letters], Book 1, ep. 18 “Lollius,” l. 67ff (1.18.67-71) (20 BC) [tr. Ferry (2001)]More info about (and translations of) this quote: wist.info/horace/20802/

@drdrang @siracusa Call it #hearsay, but a friend shared his #frustrating #experience with a 1 y/o #MacBook Air. The #SSD failed mid-video edit, so he went to the #AppleStore in #NYC. At the #GeniusBar, the tech said (paraphrased): “If you came yesterday, your #warranty would cover it. Today it’s $700. Better to buy a new one.”
Hard to square with all those stories of happy #Apple #customers who were #overjoyed when the company went the extra mile to keep them #SatisfiedCustomer

Dear Friends of #heresy and not #hearsay, 🦋
As you may know some people are not #religious. The only known cure is #conversion, #death or the need to #realise more than certainty. :gi:
As a born never again #incarceration of the #Jains of #olde, I have been involved in many dialects of mystification.
1. Brought up a drowned/baptised Cat-alcoholic teetotaller from a #Protestant lineage
2. Interested in #Witchcraft, #Buddhism and Father #Christmas from an early age
3. Keen on enlightenment, avoiding #Nuns, #Magick 🫠
Somehow, as you may know, By the Grace of #Almighty COD, these interests drove me #insane, #woke and #empathic, in no particular order.
Obviously I eventually had to order the chaos. Joined several orderings to sort my life and laff out. I did and can now re-veil and #reveal:
1. There is no cad but C-D or #Yodin as she is sometimes known :gi:
2. #Breathing is a useful indication of #life but not essential in Samadhi :ablobcatcoffee:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Samadhi
3. Code is nothing without #commentary... :ablobcatbongokeyboard:
In other words, if you are #happy or #blissful, carry on. Unless #blissfully #ignorant, in which case you are on the wrong #path, in the wrong Bath. Sort out your #Self, even if you never had one or are sure it exists. :ablobcatgoogly:
