CrossTalk | Peacemaker?
Is Donald Trump a peacemaker? It is probably fair to say the jury is still out. He says he wants peace in Ukraine. He bombed Yemen. He certainly is approaching Israel in an unprecedented way. Trump th...Odysee

Just in case you wanted a little more flavor during character creation.

The image features a character dressed in a dark green hooded cloak and armor, holding a large, tattered scroll. The character has a serious expression and is barefoot, with a quiver of arrows and a sword sheathed on their back. They are wearing a belt with pouches, one of which contains rolled-up scrolls. The character's armor includes a chest plate and leg guards, with intricate designs. The background is plain white, emphasizing the character.
Text in the image reads: "Instead of rolling, you can determine your character's age by multiplying the number of your joints that crack when you stretch by 10." This text is positioned at the top left of the image. The character's appearance and the text suggest a humorous take on character creation in role-playing games.

The #Trump admin is tacking back awards that the #Biden admin had given to projects in 6 states through the #TechHubs Program, the Commerce Secy #HowardLutnick. Lutnick said that the previous admin had used a “rushed, opaque & unfair” process to select recipients & that there would be a new competition for the #funding.
Is it just me…
Or has anyone else noticed that people with Narcissistic personality disorder tend to identify as Buddhists if and when pressed about the spiritual aspects of their lives.
It’s a pattern i’ve noticed with NPDs of European Extraction.
I have met sincere Buddhists of that genetic and cultural background.
NPDs usually have claimed Zen or Tibetan flavored Buddhist leanings.
Back in the day there was this Japanese Buddhist sect that bordered on the Culty called the NSA.

The image shows a screenshot of a Google search results page on a mobile device. The time displayed at the top is 3:02, and the battery level is at 32%. The search query is "nsa buddhism," and the first result is titled "AI Overview." The result text explains that "NSA Buddhism" is a historical reference primarily associated with the Soka Gakkai (SG) and Soka Gakkai International (SGI) movements. It mentions that the Soka Gakkai was originally known as the Nichiren Shoshu of America (NSA) and was later replaced by SGI-USA to reflect the organization's international expansion and relationship with the SGI. The text also provides an elaboration on Nichiren Buddhism, describing it as a branch of Mahayana Buddhism based on the teachings of the 13th-century Japanese Buddhist priest, Nichiren. It is characterized by the veneration of the Gohonzon, chanting "Nam-Myoho-Renge-Kyo," and the study of Nichiren's writings. The Soka Gakkai (SG) and Soka Gakkai International (SGI) are described as lay movements that promote Nichiren Buddhism. The search bar at the top shows the Google logo, and the URL "google.com" is visible at the bottom of the screen.
