@shmibs fwiw my position at the time was they help and I bought masks while the CDC was telling people not to get them.
-
@PonyPanda @meena the mask mandate was simply to make people feel like they could do something to make themselves safer so they didn't feel helpless.
-
@xue @sim @shmibs thale last book I bought was in 2019 about the Shikoku pilgrimage I didn't get to go on in 2020, I have transitioned to digital and don't buy books anymore. I don't appreciate them as decoration or social signals anymore.
-
@xue @shmibs @sim shmibs please ignore top left cubbie I bought some Japanese books at a flea market and the person would only sell me them if I bought the whole box of books which turned out to be mostly BL
-
@sim the only thing I don't like about this is the books are all consistent like they're just decoration or something. bookshelves should look messy, that is my aesthetic.
-
@xue @sim I mean that reference works are obsolete so they're de facto decoration, if you spend your life collecting interesting books they are not gonna look like that at all.
-
@xue @sim I've seen collections like the collected works of Cervantes where they are all consistent size and color like the books on display there.
-
@shmibs I'm gonna get my laptop out and try.
-
@shmibs I'm under the weather, cannot deal with software right now, tomorrow might be better
-
Treebird looks awesome but do I trust a C fcgi program
-
Maybe I add a patch to plerom-fe for an option to put a warning modal before clicking on a link takes you to a remote site.
-
@shmibs I tried Dvorak and determined it's probably overrated and stopped.
-
@1iceloops123 @Hyolobrika @shmibs I'm happy I don't have to deal with dick cheese but medically unnecessary is medically unnecessary and the practice should be ended.
-
@triodug @1iceloops123 @Hyolobrika @shmibs yeah I wondered about that like, just spend a second in the shower
-
@shmibs @Hyolobrika circumcision is medically unnecessary but most fgm is completely indefensible. Just convince them to do a single nick with a scalpel like some places do and it's not even as bad as circumcision.
-
@chjara be like those people who just tell everyone they're gay, all the time.
-
@GaryPaulWood the master presented a lit candle to the student and asked "where does the flame come from?" The student blew out the candle and told the master, tell me where it went and I'll tell you where it came from. The master, humiliated, beat the student.
-
@GaryPaulWood in all seriousness @hckr got right except they're not gibberish they are just nonlinear and nonrational ways of learning. They do not hand-hold. you may have to have previous knowledge before you could hope to understand them. I guess a bunch of them probably don't make sense because one doesn't have intense instruction in buddhism or specific instruction by the teacher who made the koan.So basically they are like indie music. Oh you haven't heard this koan? It's pretty underground. maybe you don't understand it because you don't have enough buddhistical knowledge and need something made for babies.
-
@shmibs @cowanon like anything else I suppose it fills a lifestyle niche, you're right.
-
@cowanon many people prefer tiny houses because they reject the consumerism of the modern age, as well as the expectations of having a lawn, etc.
