Fuckin’ same. My void demands so much dick it’s crazy

Most people on Lemmy, maybe. The smart watches are popular as shit, as far as I’ve seen. I rarely see someone without one out in public

And on top of that, a device to track your steps that you wildly overpay for isn’t exactly comparable to a full “I can think and know all the info on Wikipedia” sci-fi future of computer-brain interfaces. I absolutely do see the brand-loyal fanatics signing up for Google Grey Matter or the apple iBrain

Can someone tell me what darvo tactics mean? Or tell me if I just don’t want to know. I’d Google it, but OP mentioned CP and if it’s related to that, I don’t want to Google it :(

I knew about that part, but I still just straight up cannot separate pepe from fascism. I’ll start reading the memes more, though, when they pop up, instead of just straight down voting and skipping em

Wait, pepe isn’t fash anymore? I legitimately just skip over and instinctively down vote pepe memes because of the association. I had no idea

Honestly? Terrifying. Not to get all "mark of the beast"y or anything like that, but they’re not going to have to force us to get brain-computer interface chips, people are going to line up for them and pay for it willingly. And then after a while, actual thought crimes become a real thing. I don’t want to live in a world where I have to worry about the encryption level of my brain. I don’t want Dear Leader, whoever that may be at the time, knowing if I like them.

10 years ago, this would have exited the hell out of me. Now? All I can think about is how fucking terrifying it is.

A fucking Emma Goldman quote in the wild? My GOD, I love Lemmy

This is like saying you can’t make fun of Kristi Noem because she’s a woman. If you mock her for being a woman you’re a piece of shit, if you mock her for all of the horrible things she does and says you’re fine. Her sex and gender have nothing to do with her being an awful stain on humanity (and dogkind).

Now now, there’s no need to progess to violence, is there?

You really should be asking “may I borrow your club, Friend of Thrak?”

“Of which like you don’t” FTFY

I’ve seen this movie. Run, Tuvix! Run for your life!

Honestly, you have no idea how turned on I would be

I’m normally a bottom, but I’ll top a scot. I gotta know if they moan in an accent

Yeah, I went and checked to make sure they weren’t aggressive or hostile before posting my comment. I think they are genuine, and they’ve responded to people who told them basically “wrong community” and then posted in a different community. I think there might also be a language barrier at work here. The particular “denomination” (not really a fitting world, but “sect” is loaded and “path” sounds hippydippy to most people) is in hard to pin down, but it sounds like a guru-centric Vaishnavite group with a lot of Christian influence in their morals. Hinduism doesn’t really have a lot of the “no sex!” Rules until Christianity influenced it, which is why I’m guessing a specific guru lineage and not just a general Vaishnavite family tradition. But, not an expert. Either way, I think they’re at least attempting to act in good faith

Jai parabrahman! Hare Krishna! I checked out your profile. I’m an Advaitin, so I hope you don’t take this as hostility.

I see what you’re trying to do, and I respect it. You have a sincerely held belief, and you want to share that. But this really isn’t the place for it. Evangelizing Bhakti in communities that aren’t designed for the discussion of religion or philosophy is just going to end up with locked threads and eventually probably a ban. You need to read the community rules before posting, and seek out communities specifically for this kind of discussion. They do exist. There are Buddhist communities already, though I have not found a Hindu community yet. Consider creating one! While you and I do not agree on many things, I would join a Hindu community on Lemmy.

I know you think you’re helping, but in reality you will drive people further from your position by attempting to go around the rules and brute force your opinions. Sanatana Dharma is a big tent, with a lot of variation, and Bhakti has its place, but these sorts of posts are quite similar to some of the harmful things that people around here have experienced with other religions. Evangelism hurt a lot of people, in India and in the west, and Lemmy is primarily dominated by users who have rejected it or have negative associations with Christian evangelism, and will not react fondly to being preached at, especially when it so closely resembles what they’re actively attempting to move away from.

I do hope you can find or create a community here on Lemmy to discuss your beliefs! If you’d ever like to have a discussion about Advaita, vishtiadvaita, Shaivism, or nondualism I would love that. I’d even be very interested to talk about Bhakti some time! My personal path is attempting to find and understand Nirguna Brahman, but I would love to discuss your Saguna and learn more about that path. I’m assuming you’re a Vaishnavite, and I have always been interested in learning more about that tradition.

Om Shanti. Om tat sat.

Not familiar with what a SWIM says is?

I mean, honestly? Good job. Lol. I never heed the warnings at all. I regret it sometimes, most of the time I can just brush it off. The only one to ever truly hurt me, though, was that damn my little pony thing on reddit, and a similar one with a shoe box

Where?

What’s the best alternative?

I’ve genuinely never tried it. I’ve heard good things, but even before my buddy told me that story I worried about, like, infection. Is it good enough to do the research to do it safely? Lol
