Paid $28 for 2 AH ETBs. I have a simple strategy of trading low value ($5-$25) singles that I pull from packs towards trade credit w/ vendors. It’s worked well for me and I encourage anyone else who’s having a hard time getting product to do the same! #thehobby@CardPurchaser
Little brother with the pull of a lifetime, still can’t believe it. Out of a GameStop Mega Box, hope the same lucks finds everyone else! @CardPurchaser#thehobby
The Warriors (1979) is one of the most unique cult films ever made.
Inspired by the ancient Greek story Anabasis, the movie turns New York City into a violent urban battlefield where gangs rule the night.
Hated by many critics when it first released, it later became a midnight movie phenomenon and is now considered a true classic of street cinema.
Stylized, gritty, surreal — and unforgettable.
Miyamoto Musashi had a banger of a line,
“In all things, have no preference.”
Sounds batshit absurd at first.
“There’s no way I could do that!”
But if you take it to the extreme (as it’s meant) for a period, you may find yourself having profound realisations.
This is not something you should think about or ponder on. This is something you should reserve forming an opinion on until you’ve tried it, tested, experimented.
Check it:
The only thing you can ever control for certain, is your own mind.
You cannot control other people. You cannot control the environment. Etc
Only our own thoughts.
Have you ever paid attention to the extent which others allow their external world to dominate their thinking?
Pay attention, look for it. It’s astounding.
This isn’t a criticism; merely an observation.
Look without attaching judgement or assigning meaning to it. Simply notice.
And consider to what extent you are guilty of the same. Again - do not fault yourself for this. Observe without attaching judgement or assigning meaning.
Now imagine - what strength you might find in enlightened carelessness. In not having a preference. In being detached to the point of no external circumstance ever being allowed to knock you off your balance.
“In all things, have no preference”
This is not to say do not aspire towards anything. This is not to say be useless and simply wander wherever the wind happens to blows you..
However, recognise when you are giving away your power by caring about things that don’t really matter.
Meditate on the following:
“You don’t have to turn this into something. It doesn’t have to upset you. Things can’t shape our decisions by themselves.”
— Marcus Aurelius
And you can apply this to anything.
Begin today by
1) observing without attaching judgment or meaning; how much others let their external events run their mind, emotions, behaviour
2) noticing how much you do the same
3) having less preference
4) recognising that you don’t “have to turn this into something”
5) know that by doing this you gain more solace in your own mind, and proportionally; outside events lose their power to affect you
Namaste. 🙏🏽

@BeholdPaleH0rse BAPH has quality content and truth to almost everything he says, but this is a reach. Circuses and popcorn, gambling ads, I get it. But each and every night? No. I played collegiate at the highest level, to think there is a “fix” every game is idiotic. Now, pro ball? Diff story.
I’m so sorry Yizha - one of the most blatantly wrong scorecards I’ve ever witnessed. Those judges should be charged and extradited to the United States for that robbery. Embarrassing. #UFC325
@KBNESPN @BenBrust@ESPNMilwaukee@ESPNMadison@ESPN1000 Weekend warriors turned “analysts” who clearly have never played a snap are in SHAMBLES. Packers fans finally realizing they aren’t who they thought they were. Cope harder. 🐻⬇️
@CardPurchaser is PSA still the undisputed king? These 60-90 day waits paired with the piling damage reports have us second guessing what we should do….is TAG the smarter play now? Where y’all at? #whoyoucollect#thehobby
