I hope those Russian pilots are wearing adult diapers.

I can’t imagine a conventional conflict that we would realistically lose at this point, unless we had to fight on multiple fronts simultaneously (i.e., China in the Pacific and Russia in Europe/Middle East).

Depends where the conflict takes place. Somewhere where we have to use a long supply chain and they’re in their backyard? (Eastern Europe, most of Asia)

Perhaps you saw this:

You write such well-researched and thought-out pieces but when I see the photos all I can do is drool.

The lower image minus the extreme aero is basically the upper image.

Well that deescalated quickly...

As a Buddhist you're misunderstanding. Any person who would be The future HHDL would have to be attractive. It's one of the features in Buddhism of someone who has progressed far along the path. And as the Dalai Lama is a reincarnate of a very compassionate Buddha they would of course have these ventures. They would…

Also, as someone who teaches World Religions and has seen a number of his charming and rambling interviews, the guy’s English is not that great so perhaps he didn’t get the point across as he wished.

I think there’s some real confusion going on in this article and, then not shockingly, in the comments below. In Tibetan Buddhism, any sex that’s not straight up generic sex meant for creating a new life is considered misconduct. That’s for everyone, and it’s rooted in many things, not the least of which is the idea…

My take-away from this is, is he now open again to reincarnating? I know there for a while he was declaring he wasn’t going to, because he assumes that China will appoint a “fake” Dalai Lama. By stating he doesn’t intend to reincarnate, he is basically telling people that anybody that claims to be the 15th Dalai Lama…

I agree. It's a dad joke.

but then he also says they’re “enjoyable and harmless”, which…seems like the opposite of every other religion. Why can’t every religion admit that even though scripture says it’s a sin, it’s not actually hurting anyone, so who cares?

I watched the video and this is how it came across to me too. Just a like a dad joke.

I can’t watch the video but the part about attractiveness seems a bit like a dad joke gone wrong. Like “of course she’d have to be pretty! After all, the only reason I’ve done so well is because of how hot I am!” *dad chuckle*

Can we please get a story where men aren’t pigs? I’m trying to raise a son, and I need a sliver of hope that he’s not doomed to grow up to be pig, too. I need to know that it is possible in this day and age to grow up into a good and decent man

Maybe you could check beforehand next time, instead of just... winging it.

Yeah - not much slamming there but I’ll bet there’s a wing walker looking for a new job.
