I hope that one day you too can share a connection with a special someone or someones where you never have to poop alone.

You are valuable, loveable and you deserve this

I’d like to think these are just some of the universal things of what makes a community fulfilling and fun, as I was mostly trying to abstract some of my favorite things about being Jewish from the faith component.

For some people, it’s important to have rules!! Of course you need the standard social construct rules, but the less necessary ones are important too. I think they give structure and consistency to people, so even if they’re arbitrary, it fulfils that need and as long as isn’t disruptive to society, I don’t see the harm. Plus, knowing someone also follows the same rules, rituals and holidays you do gives you instant rapport with them, so it aids in building a sense of community. Polite people outside of the new religion will also be curious and interested in hearing about these rules/rituals and whatever reasoning could uphold them, and the followers likely will enjoy explaining them, so this helps them build friendships outside of the religious group as well.

Tho it’s crucial that others aren’t ostracized for not following the more arbitrary ones and that those that do follow them don’t feel any actionable feelings of superior devotion or what-not. I think you can ostracize people who violate rules that relate to already well established social constructs (theft, murder, etc), but not the more frivolous restrictions and behavioral requirements we’d invent here.

The most fun parts of religion are the camaraderie and intricate, abstracted rituals that used to serve one purpose but now serve a different, often symbolic one.

So lots of that. Spaced out throughout the year as to give followers a way of marking the passing of time and a reason to call out of work at regular intervals.

Oh, let’s toss in a lil religious specific language to aid as a group identifier and how about some arbitrary rules/guidelines that aren’t strictly enforced and vary by region but give those rules loving peoples something to grab onto.

Oh oh oh and unique cuisine! Food goods made in certain ways at certain times, with some slight variation so followers could have techniques and recipes to share and mild, inconsequential things to disagree and hold frivolous, memetic arguments about.

The details don’t really matter all that much, as long as it can serve as a way to find community and camaraderie in new places, reinforce solidarity with your fellow humans, and give some rituals for timekeeping and distraction from modern life.

Buddy I ain’t saying shit here to feel virtuous, I’m pointing and laughing at a fool

Also you’re a fucking bigot, you shouldn’t feel welcome here or anywhere else! Go crawl in a hole and rot!

Naw I’m a decent human being and you can’t say the same about yourself.

You violated community and site rules with your post and now you’re shitting your pants over it by making a multiple post hissy fit about your bigoted trash getting rightfully removed.

For someone who calls themself old geezer you sure act like a fucking baby 🤣

You didn’t post news, you posted some transphobic meme you found funny.

You’re an ass and your content wasn’t fit to read.

“Wahhhh wahhh people hate my bigoted rhetoric” - u

Once. It took like 15 min and I did it while grocery shopping.

Superman. He just does everything and wins. Unless you show him a green rock.

It’s stupid. I don’t understand how it ever interested anyone.

From how I understand it, you dream every night as your body enters REM sleep, but you often don’t remember dreams. You can try and train yourself to better recall your dreams and in doing so you may find that you “dream more often”.

I’d say I have weeks where I remember my dreams, sometimes multiple, every night, and other times where I’ll go a week or more without recalling any. It varies on a lot of things. In particular, I’ll find if I stop smoking weed for about 4 or more days, I’ll start remembering dreams vividly and frequently, but that’ll lessen over 2 weeks.

I clean it off. I feel this helps prevent spoilage as the lid will have a better seal on a clean rim than a dirty one.

The Culture as imagined by Iain M. Banks.

Taking jobs as passion projects and partying on the side with my bespoke suite of substances produced by thought activated glands in my brain? Sign me tf up. Imma design avant-garde planetary landscapes for like 4 years, then spend 2 just raving constantly then swap genders for a spell? Crazy good utopian concept.

Especially when it’s made with a whole za’atar roasted chicken in the same pot before the soup. Ooh and extra schmaltz or even better… duck fat!!

Sleep. Just a ton of sleep. It sucks, but it’ll pass.

I drink a ton of ginger tea with honey when I got any throat thing, too. Idk if that really does much, but it feels nice and is tasty.

That, and a big batch of matzo ball soup. Even better if you don’t have to make it.

Copied from another comment…

Traditional recipes for ruling class stem from an era when great body mass was a sign of wealth and all that fat really lent itself well to a roast, either in an oven or on a spit, to really render out all the fruits of that stolen labor (no pun intended, but cherries, plums, or my personal favorite, oranges, work great here to add a splash of color, flavor and complexity), or sliced thinly and fried with veggies that blister well, like peppers and onions.

The modern billionaire is quite lean, demonstrating that they can afford better quality food and have the time to cater to their own health and body, a luxury they’d never afford the people who make them their money. For this, a wet cook is better. Think like a brisket. Ideal for long, slow cooker meats, with acidic and sweet vegetables. Or braised with wine and flavored with umami bombs such as anchovy, like ossobuco.

We have fed them all for a thousand years, but one day they will feed us, so it’s best to be ready!

Seize their assets, distribute them amongst those who need them, persecute and punish them for the atrocities their greed has wrought.

Remember paid text messaging? That lasted longer in other parts of the world than it did in the US and WhatsApp circumvented that. Also, WhatsApp allowed audio calls to long distance numbers over wifi or data, not the pricy long distance call charge.

From what I can tell, that’s largely it.

This is real surprising to hear, as I often see this kinda third inch wide ripple crease in non-marketing photos of em. Is it just not visible when it’s on? I could deal with it being visible when it’s off.

Once they figure out how to deal with that crease looking like ass, I’m deffo picking one of these up
