I may be about to move to a town near the border, and I fully plan on visiting Mexico as frequently as I can. It’s one of the things I’m most excited about about moving there.

I will 100% be getting a second cheap phone, and only taking that when I cross the border.

Growing up in baptist churches in the south, I grew up hearing “near east” for Israel and surrounding, and middle east for basically everything else that wasn’t “the orient”

Mideast is newish to me, and the other two terms I haven’t really heard since I was a kid in the 90s/00s.

Let’s not defame us good, God fearing communist cock suckers out here doing the hard work of sucking cock and spreading the ideas of worker liberation and democratizing the workplace!

I’m willing to have my mind changed here. But in my view, the Democrats come to the table with their negotiation, and then negotiate down until they get absolutely fuck all, a la the ACA

I fundamentally disagree that it is impractical not to put it on the price tag. Every store prints their own price tags and puts them either directly on the item, or on the shelf. It wouldn’t be hard to just make that price different to reflect the tax. We already do it with gasoline.

I like that. I’ll start reading more into this! Let me know when you make the community and I will absolutely join.

Okay, so it was the formatting of my Lemmy app that made that post look so intimidating. That was a very informative read, and you’re excellent at writing.

I’m interested. I’m a weird hodgepodge of things, episcopal, Hindu, daoist (Jesus Christ, autocorrect tried to make daoist into “rapist” o.o), increasingly Buddhist, and I’m always interested in learning more.

Would you say it is compatible with a nondualist worldview?

I’m really sorry I haven’t replied to this yet. I just haven’t had the bandwidth it deserved. I will respond more in depth this evening after I finished reading it. I’m very excited about it!

There used to be a thing called Wubi. Allowed you to install Ubuntu basically like a program/app. It’s how I first got into it. I’d tried a little before, but Wubi allowed me to turn my little netbook it’s a Linux machine because it didn’t have a CD drive. It was great. I’ve never really understood why that couldn’t be done again. Lowered to bar to entry a great deal.

Honestly, I have been stunned by how well this little machine does with only 8gb of ram. It’s at least as snappy and smooth as my yoga with 16 GB of ram running Fedora was before it broke. I do miss daily driving Fedora, and I’ve been keeping a list of things that irritate about macos vs Gnome/fedora just to see how the transition goes over the next year or so. But honestly, for my workflow it’s been amazing. That said, I am primarily a browser based user and not a very techy person in general.

Oh, also, having an actual desktop top to sync proton drive has been *amazing *

“if I read a headline” that’s how I started my comment. “If I read A headline”

I did not say anything about this one. I just expressed empathy at the users misunderstanding of the original post.

I mean, in fairness, if I read a headline that was like “in silent apple update, MacBooks with Asahi Linux installed will self destruct the lithium ion battery once it detects the user is asleep and unable to stop the explosion” I’d have been like “yeah. That tracks. Sucks that their hardware is so fucking good.”

Just bought my first ever apple device (M1 MacBook Air), because I needed either windows or Mac for school, and I got tired of jumping through hoops with virtual machines and low end hardware on used windows machines I’d put Linux on. I miss Linux as my daily driver terribly, but I do know now that my next windows/Mac machine will be mac. And when that day comes, I look forward to putting Asahi on this little MacBook Air. It’s great hardware, and I’m hoping Asahi will have matured a lot by then and be a great experience.

I would love to have a calm, rational conversation about China with someone who knows more about it than I do. This thread isn’t going to be the place for that. Can you recommend a community on Lemmy for learning about the Chinese political system, life in China, and specifically how socialism with chinese characteristics differs from other western ideas on the topic?

As a communist, and one from the US, the idea that billionaires can exist but are incapable of influencing the political sphere just… Does not compute for me. And while I do not expect to change my position to the point where I’m okay with billionaires existing, I am willing to learn. I did not understand Cuban democracy until I did.

Thelema has always been super fascinating to me. I’d love to learn more if you have resources to direct me towards. There’s actually a Lemmy server specifically for religions. I started one over there for Episcopalians, but it’s been so long I’ll have to dig up the info on it as I don’t remember the sever name. Philosophy and religions subs are the thing I miss most from the other site

Are there any communities here on Lemmy for thelema? Not a practitioner myself, but I love learning about it. And anthroposophy.

My sister converter to the faith in like 2007, I think? She was always a-political, like to the point of not really having paid attention whatsoever from my understanding (we did not grow up together). While she is still a member officially, and religiously believes, she has left the state of Utah, left the church, no longer attends, and her and her husband don’t really associate with any other mormons after 2016. The hatefulness of Trump being supported by her community really upset her and she had to leave. The final nail in the coffin, the thing that spurred her to get genuinely politically active, was Israel/Gaza. Now I don’t think the church would take her back if she begged. Not that she would. Lol
