Shame you’ve already blasted music and you are pretty certain he’s feeling it. I would have slipped a note under his door asking him to at least get a mat or something to cushion the weights falling

I’m here to say Jasmine /Jazmín in English and Spanish, because I haven’t seen it mentioned yet

Hello. Lemmy is known for having a tech savvy userbase, not so much dabblers in the occult arts. Please don’t let that dissuade you - I would be searching for a community with an occult bent first. Try any of the find-a-community communities and see where people point you towards.

Having said that, yes I do like the occults even though I can’t say I take them seriously like I did in my youth. Traditionally the suit you would be looking for is the swords for the sciences, since the swords are associated with the domain of the mind, judgement, truth, thoughts, etc.

Edit: try !findacommunity@lemmy.ml

… not sure if there are other community finders outside of .ml but that should get you started

Maybe it’s simply the growth of the Internet that diluted the culture. In its early days, most people with Internet access and time/the inclination to shitpost were mostly young, had certain other things in common such as language, a certain amount of wealth, access to commodities, etc. You also had to have a certain degree of innate curiosity and tech literacy to find platforms and engage with them. That’s reflected in the content posted.

Nowadays you have everyone and their grandma online. Platforms are aggressively finding you and even opening accounts unprompted for you (I’m looking at you, Meta). So the type of content is reflected too.

Can someone ELI5 for the non tech savvy please?

I am immediately put off by anyone talking constantly about a topic unless it’s justified by context.

For example, if you are talking non stop about your favorite game at a gaming convention or at your DnD table, let it be. Or with your friends who are in the same fandom, no prob. If you can’t shut up about it outside of that and constantly bring the topic up unprompted, well. I wonder what else you can’t tell about context.

I guess with religion it’s worse because by its own nature it implies you, the follower, know best and better than those who don’t. So not only you come across as a fool who can’t read the room, you also come across as arrogant.

But… Pies are round aren’t they?

Answer: I just think it’s not worth it. The motivation to make comics should arise from your need to express yourself visually, not to compensate for poor translation. Learning to draw maybe comes easy to you, but then you’ll have to actually do it and keep it consistent and meet your own standards, which is the extra hard part you are not taking into consideration.

Climbing the mountain can be a challenge, but it pales in comparison with setting up camp and living at high altitude indefinitely. If you don’t have a call for that kind of lifestyle I would suggest you reconsider.

Give it a go, though. Nothing wrong with a bit of tourism and sightseeing. You may even get to enjoy it, and you will understand for yourself if it’s meant to be for you or not.

Safe? I never considered that, this is not a variable in my music listening

I see!

Why? How come? I never imagined either would be the case

Really, people got shunned for watching Monty Python in the 80s and 70s?

Cheers! Yes I haven’t been on Lemmy as much lately, but I still check in every now and then.

I’m with the truffles guy saying truffles with the caveat that perhaps I haven’t had real truffles properly.

Otherwise, I find KFC too overrated. All fast food chains in general, but KFC in particular gets a hype at least in my circles. From what I hear, you are buying bliss and a heavenly experience in a bucket. Come on. It’s just chicken bits with nothing special about them, in fact the cheap deep frying oils can upset my stomach easily.

I second your impression of truffles. I’m yet to appreciate them. So far in my books is a thing that tastes like dirt and shoots up ridiculously the price of whatever it’s added into

Okay so what do we make of the sledge and reindeer? Are they also the spawn of Santa, in a different category like ants have soldiers and workers?

I’d watch this movie

Yeah that’s the bizarre part. If you are picking this very specific acid you either stole it without knowing anything about it or you know exactly what it is. Both equally puzzling

Thank you

Ok so being a chemistry ignorant as I am, I went to Wikipedia to read about this acid, thinking it was probably a very common household item sold under a different name or perhaps a very common drug with a different street name, you get it. But it’s not. It’s just some acid used in a variety of industry processes.

Why on earth would anyone, even on drugs, think an enema with acid is something they need to experience? I’ve never done cocaine and I’m also not into painful anal stuff so if you are into either and care to explain I’d really appreciate it.
