Last Person #5

[AngryHobbit]

I've been on the receiving end of punches, kicks, throws, etc. Always was much better to be on the other side...

Not with PMS. It's kind of like becoming a super-miserable source of misery. So, whatever misery people around you fell, it's still the most miserable at the center of... you know... misery.

Goodnight MT.... Wherever you are....

 

[Steve]

Westworld. Man I love this show.

 

[Dirty Dog]

Westworld. Man I love this show.

As a kid, I really liked the original movie.
Really enjoyed the first season.
The first episode of this season sort of dragged, I thought.

2 words..... "philosophical conundrum"
that's what I am running into by logging on to MT today

Stayed home sick. Supposed to have an interview at 2, but I doubt I will feel better in time for it.

Today's geeky question: since Daredevil, Luke Cage, and Iron Fist were all members of the Avengers at one point, will Marvel ever integrate the characters from the Netflix shows into the movies???

I never heard of Jessica Jones until recently, so I don't know if she was ever an Avenger, although I am pretty sure the Punisher was never on the team. Not only would they not ask him, but he would never want to join!

 

[wingchun100]

Goodness, what did you do? Or didn't do?

I did nothing. It was just the slowest part of my work day.

 

[wingchun100]

Time to lay back down and fall asleep to the classical station again.

The Netflix series are all part of the Marvel Cinematic Universe, so the answer is probably not, but it's very possible.

Funny you should say that. I just published a book, a translation by a dude who was a writer and a professor of philosophy, so he wrote this mind-bending stream of consciousness combining ghost stories with philosophies.

I am sure they will understand... and appreciate not getting any of your germs and/or viruses.

 

[AngryHobbit]

Time to lay back down and fall asleep to the classical station again.

A good way to deal with being sick. Let us hope the classical station will not choose this particular time to play Beethoven's Fifth or Dias Irae from Mozart's Requiem.

 

[AngryHobbit]

Westworld. Man I love this show.

<sigh> I won't be able to see it until next Labor Day. We don't have cable or HBO, so I get together with a friend a few times a year, and we have Westworld and Game of Thrones binges.

 

[CB Jones]

Westworld, and GoT are my shows!

Throw in Inkmasters and TUF and that’s pretty much all the Shows I watch. Everything else is just sporting events.

Now all I gotta do is figure out how to apply the four noble truths and then......

 

[AngryHobbit]

Now all I gotta do is figure out how to apply the four noble truths and then......

So, what are the four noble truths?

 

[AngryHobbit]

A bit of folk wisdom acquired by observing young people in super-skinny jeans: if your jeans are so tight that you try to put your smartphone into the back pocket, and the screen cracks - they are probably too tight.

 

[Xue Sheng]

So, what are the four noble truths?

1. The truth of suffering (Dukkha)
2. The truth of the origin of suffering (Samudāya)
3. The truth of the cessation of suffering (Nirodha)
4. The truth of the path to the cessation of suffering (Magga)

 

[AngryHobbit]

1. The truth of suffering (Dukkha)
2. The truth of the origin of suffering (Samudāya)
3. The truth of the cessation of suffering (Nirodha)
4. The truth of the path to the cessation of suffering (Magga)

Are there any noble truths that don't involve suffering? Like the truth of the path to the joy of consuming bacon?
