Ask Lemmy

It's a concept in Japanese martial arts that I read in a book by Takuan Soho.

Wiki:

Fudōshin (Japanese: 不動心) is a state of equanimity or imperturbability (literally and metaphorically, "immovable mind",[1] "immovable heart"[2] or "unmoving heart"). It is a philosophical or mental dimension to Japanese martial arts which contributes to the effectiveness of the advanced practitioner.

I was training in Jujutsu and kenjutsu at the time and the concept clicked. I know it sounds very 'weeb' but it was an epiphany and quite profound for me at the time.

There's a Shingon Buddhist deity that encapsulates the concept too and he holds a sword to cut through ignorance and delusion.

There're some related concepts like Mushin that come together with marital arts.

I don’t

I pick something that describes me but isn't too specific

"Cloud" is the name of my first love.

For the last while I've been randomising the dictionary of 3 or 4 character words and running down the list until I find something I like the sound of and is available. If it's a well populated username base I might need to drop back to a list of all permutations of a-z in that length and do the same.

I usually go for a play on words

Hellsing fan yo

My default is the first name I gave to myself before I even was in first class.

When I need something else or temporary I just slap together some words.

I don't want spam

Well I know what I want, so I ask for it in the username.

I used to trust a lot of things, but then i stopped

Mine accurately describes me

It came to me in a dream. I don't know what it means.

Nobody really gives a crap anyways and the signal username is not displayed to your peers. Combine some shit and be good.

I'm weird and generally people think I'm an idiot

I'vr used https://www.name-generator.org.uk/ before. Worked well enough.

I generally just use my name
