House : You idiot!

Yeah, I personally think “Atheist” and “Agnostic” to be a loaded term with the general public, more so in mine where the majority is religious.

Many of my friends think I abandoned all my moral code the moment they found out, like “No, I’m still the same person just not doing the ritual like I used to” and they won’t even notice if I didn’t tell.

Many did not believe me when I said I never drink even once (alcohol is forbidden in Islam). It’s so hard to explain that the general messages to aspire to be a decent human being are good guidelines I don’t have any problem with that, it’s the finer details that made me decide to leave.

Elaborate with example pls

Oof, that must be a weird conversation. Am Indonesian.

Any conversation touching Islam adjacent lost any nuance with the general population more often than not . Not saying your wife is one, but let’s be honest the education quality here is abysmal and at the same time we’re number 1 muslim by population. Also our “Netizen” is notorious for wrongly attacking any issue they misunderstood.

One of our top singer got berated nationwide because she wore a skirt with a random arabic text in it, people thought it was a Holy script and she’s Christian.

I kid you not one election season I saw an angry mob with a banner that said USA = COMMUNIST !!

Most have hard enough time just to get by day to day so I get it, they take anything to blame. With corruption top to bottom it’s a sad state all around. I’m grateful it’s still a relatively peaceful affair though, at least here in Java.

Noclip’s interview with Nate

What a fun read. Thanks for writing.

I wish Hebrew was easier to learn. I’m not religious but used to be a devout muslim until my 20.

I still retain a fascination with the historical aspect of the Abrahamic faith cuz of how intertwined they are.

At least in my flavor of faith “angels” specifically mentioned forged from light and Jibril/Gabriel have a specific role as messenger.

I always chuckle when reading something and realizing it so obvious my faith is the little brother of the three.

I have a phobia with butterfly spawn, the wiggly kind.

Can’t look at it, don’t wanna talk about it either cuz then the image pop up in my mind.

Don’t mind the adult form or the pupa. Also fine with other larvae since they all mostly look the same.

Fully agree, I have masto/pixelfed client on my phone but Lemmy is the the one I used most by a long shot.

Idk why it is but on other platforms I feel like I’m intruding on someone else’s conversation, but I can freely reply here no problem (to some extent).

Hmm good point. Never realized there could be connection with hyper curated algorithm and main character syndrome.

Now I kinda understand why “just look away” makes no sense to these kinda people.

So which tech adjacent publishing you recommend?
Independent or otherwise.

Why?

Even a low-end phone comes with a good enough camera for QR which means wider adoption, you need a higher tier phone for NFC.

We have a similar system in my country and I believe we copy it from India, it works and is convenient.

Dude ! It’s been a year :(

I’m 7 months too late. I thought you were just making reference to How I met your mother’s episode where Barney got laid off of a question mark, and my reply is how Lily responded.

What’s that? From googling I assume it’s the artificial light at night one ?

Thank you !

Do you have other song recommendations with larger than life topics like this ?

I don’t listen to hip-hop but I like the theme of this one.

How many days worth of food is that?

A question mark? You got laid off a question mark?
