Update: Brought back Amida back home, need some advice for my alter

Finally bought Amida from that Pawn Shop, hes in good shape but still missing that finger on his right hand. Thinking about finding some clay that matches that color and replace his finger.

I also got a mat, some incense sticks, and a pot to put it but not sure what else I am missing. If anyone knows then please do tell me, some advice will help me a lot.

Thank you!

I want to support trans people more better but not sure how to do, and Im embarrassed to say this since I have trans friends

Let me just say that I always appreciate and respect people’s identities and looking to gain insight and knowledge about gender ideology and how people perceive themselves as unique individuals in our society, however, as a bi man myself.

The concept of being transgender has always stumped me because science has always taught me that you’re the gender whats held inside your pants, however as I learn more about the LGBTQ+ community that Im in, it struck me that if I continue in believing in my thoughts then how can I support my friends and people who identify they’re trans?

I also get it confused with non-binary folks since they sound like the same idea but I know its not and its a complete opposite.

If anyone can help me understand what being trans is and the difference between being nonbinary then that will help. Also on how to support people who are trans themselves.

Thanks

I want to start a germination station for my apartment complex but unsure what to get

As am cleaning up my storage room, I want to transform it into a germination and growing station for plants in the winter, but unsure where to even start indoor growing. The dimensions of these little room is shown by this little diagram I created.

I also need help determining what LED's and good germination station should I use for my apartment. I don't want anything too big for now but somewhere I can put on a shelf and monitor it while it grows up healthy and during winter times.

If anyone can give me advice and guidance then that'll be great,

Thanks!

I hate Clash Royale and what it has become

This has to be the most P2W games I’ve ever laid my eyes upon, like I can’t even progress through CR with stumbling into a player who has spent their birthday money to get shards or something.

I know its already a fact that this is already gone over and the community has been complaining about it forever, but now that they got 2 of the most broken heros and a broken evo in the game, its just unbelievable. I mean at least its ranked but people can still buy stuff from the store and progress faster that way.

I hate how there are so much Gambling Ads nowadays

I walk outside, there is an ad promoting a Gambling site, I watch youtube and there is an ad for a betting site, When I use the bus for work, there is shit tons of Gambling and betting sites being promoted for some event. Hell I can't even go about listening to my music or the radio without some stupid girl or a guy telling me to spend so much of my time and money on betting apps and gambling sites like Im gonna 'win big prizes.'

Especially when I play free games I find in the app store and its promoting these sites, I can't stand it!!!! I want these companies to just burn down to the ground along with their ads, Kalshi and other stupid betting alternatives included. The Government needs to focus on just nuking these ads and gambling casino games in gerenal because at this point every event and viral thing is just going to be a stupid money grabbing, gambling, betting bullshit circus and thats what sporting events is going to be now..

I hate Casinos, I hate Kalshi, fuck Roblox and their pedo CEO, and every gambling ad.

Can you truly learn Buddhism without a Sangha? Why or why not?

Over the course of learning how to become a Buddhist and possibly a Monk, I've always wondered if I can truly study and practice Buddhism without the Sangha, even though its apart of the three jewels to achieve Enlightenment and knowledge of the Buddha's teachings and wisdom.

What do you think?

What is ‘spiritual warfare’ to you?

So recently, I’ve been seeing Christians talk about hypotheticals scenarios where the bible is banned in America or their respective countries; to them reacting to other religions (mostly Muslims) spreading their faith and beliefs on social media.

To me whenever I hear a religious person having a “Spiritual Warfare” its either with themselves and the things that challenge their faith. But whenever I see it on places like Youtube or Facebook, its some dude thats laughing about how Muslims and Jews are stupid and that Christ is superior to them.

Especially I’ve been rewatching the “Walk for Peace” that the Buddhist Monks were doing, walking from Texas all the way to Washington, DC. Many Christians from Baptist Churches were telling the monks to repent, specifically there was this one guy that confronted the Monks and was telling them to “Turn to Jesus.”

So I ask, to you. What is spiritual warfare? How do you go about it?
