i hate that troll has become a generic word for hater on the web. back in my day the only people worthy of the title were the guys managing to convince an entire forum thread that he really thought Samus Aran was a man called “Super Metroid”
You know how you hold helium balloons by strings so you can have something hold onto them, like a child, or a rock, or a big house? When you let go of the balloon and it flies up into the sky and pops instead of being tugged aroundby a 6 year old at Disneyland, that’s what escaping samsara looks like.
Balloon nirvana is when it flies up really high into the sky and it pops and the illusion of self is destroyed because the helium was never the balloon’s helium, it was just helium, and now that the material container has been removed it is free of that illusion and simply exists as helium.
By far the funniest transition timelines are the ones from trans men where the “before” picture is some teeny little guy with sad baby seal eyes and the “after” picture looks like Kratos
This is one of the top posts in r/transtimelines and it really sums up what I’m talking about
My irl saw this post and sent me this even crazier transformation today! The little guy to Kratos pipeline is real!!!
sorry about your boyfriend, we reprogrammed him for fun yea, but a hilarious thing happened, so it turns out we forgot to back him up first, so yea he thinks he’s napoleon bonaparte now, he’s probably in europe rearranging the borders right now lol
