Pete Davidson, Emily Ratajkowski dating, ‘really like each other’

I'm the hottest stud in the US of A

Move over, Mr. Emily R. (Sebastian Bear-McClard) and you, too, Kim Kardashian.

Sickly [anemic or toxic liver] comedian Pete Davidson, 28, and [possibly the most beautiful woman in the world] Emily Ratajkowski, 31, are reportedly dating each other.

“Pete and Emily have been talking for a couple months now,” a source told Us Weekly on Monday (11/14/22), adding they’re “in the very early stages, but both really like each other.”

Machine Gun Kelly loves his Pete, the Big D.

The source explained that the two met through mutual friends who set them up. “Pete makes Emily laugh, and he loves how intelligent she is,” the insider continued.

The couple initially sparked romance rumors after they were spotted “holding hands” on a date in Brooklyn, New York, on Saturday night, according to an anonymous tip on the Instagram gossip account @DeuxMoi.

The model and the “Saturday Night Live” (SNL) alum have kept quiet on the alleged spark.

Ratajkowski has been living her best single life since Page Six (pagesix.com) broke the news that she was ending things with Bear-McClard in July. More + VIDEO

I have to work at physical perfection. Makeup helps. But does that make it false?

Our deeds (karmas) control our lives

Dear, Bad Karma, you may have missed...

(WQ) Make more good karma (merit or punya). It's wherever we're going to be. The results of past and present actions are constantly ripening and coming to fruition, producing their results (vipaka and phala). Good karma is as useful to criminals and creeps as it is to saints and super people, maybe more so.

We get akin to how and what we give. Let go.

It's no use thinking or saying that Pete Davidson and Ye West don't "deserve" the partners they get. They obviously, in some sense, do; the partners think so even though those of us who are outside looking in are thinking, "Nooooo!"

NOTE: Not everything that happens is the result of karma (the coming to fruition of past deeds), but our actions have a disproportionate influence on our current circumstances, thoughts, feelings, and results -- what we're experiencing now.

That means we can take the wheel and start steering this cruise ship for the better. Turn the wheel. Nothing will happen right away. But over time, everything that happened was because of how we steered. If karma is the cause of the bad we don't want, it's also the cause of the good we do want.

• The Workings of Karma (2nd revised edition)

The great scholar-monk Pa Auk Sayadaw explains

Greed, hatred, and delusion are constantly yielding disappointment and misery. A secret the Buddha, who was a karmavadin (or "teacher of the efficacy of action"), is that the source of all the good and wished for results come from nongreed, nonhatred, and nondelusion.

These three have positive expressions as letting go, kindness, and wisdom. But the English words we use can hardly track the original Pali and Sanskrit terms of lobha, dosa, and moha and their positive counterparts alobha, adosa, and amoha.

Our deeds are neither rewarded nor punished

I like karma. It's good. Don't know how I did it

Ven. Walpola Rahula states: "The theory of karma should not be confused with so-called 'moral [or poetic] justice’ or 'reward and punishment.’

The idea of moral justice, or reward and punishment, arises out of the conception of a supreme being, a "God," who sits in judgment, who is a law-giver, and who decides what is right and wrong.

The term 'justice’ is ambiguous and dangerous, and in its name more harm than good is done to humanity.

The theory of karma is the theory of cause and effect, of action and reaction; it is a natural law, which has nothing to do with the idea of justice or reward and punishment.

Every volitional [willed] action produces its effects [phala] or results [vipaka]. If a good action produces good effects and a bad action bad effects, it is not justice, or reward, or punishment meted out by anybody or any power sitting in judgment of your action, but this is in virtue of its own nature, its own law" [Note 58: What the Buddha Taught, Kindle edition, 860-866].
