Hey, thanks!

Sort of a hodgepodge. Hinduism (advaita Vedanta, kashmiri Shaivism mainly), some Buddhism as well, and an Episcopalian. Haha. Mostly I'm a nondualist who really, really likes philosophy. I picked the username years ago when I was just beginning to explore eastern philosophy, and it was a pun/play on the term bi curious.

I'd be inclined to agree with what folks have said here. But the potential trauma and potential blood pressure issue.

Only chiming in to say a friend of mine, who has a slew of other medical issues, has passed out from erections and sexual arousal. And once passed out from bottoming, so it's not some wild strange theory. It does happen.

Congenital Baptistism. Terrible fate. There's hope for a cure with Crispr, though

Thank you!

Also, frickin love your username!

On top of that, so many places no longer have websites, they have Facebook pages. Wanna see the menu to your favorite restaurant? Fucking Facebook. Want to know the hours of operation of that computer repair place? Fucking Facebook. Want to know if the shop you're going to carries your brand of something? Believe it or not, fucking Facebook. It's so integrated into our culture at this point. No private entity should ever have been allowed to amass that much power.

Absolutely! You must always try the bread unbuttered first. Then add the butter for the second bite, but that first bite of freshly baked, still steaming bread must be plain to truly experience it's splendor.

Fun fact, while the Eucharist/communion is given as a special ceremony in most denominations, originally the eating of bread at any time was considered a holy moment.

"For as often as ye eat this bread, and drink this cup, ye do shew the Lord's death till he come." In the king James, but many other translations phrase it as "whenever" or "every time" instead of "as often"

Still today, (Christian) Quakers take it this way. You are taking the Eucharist whenever you eat bread (or just eat) or drink wine (or just drink). There is also a belief that every bath is a baptism, and that the sacraments are daily lived experiences.

So, yeah, bread is life, and is holy, and is all things that are good, and yes, I am a diabetic, and I'll cut out soda, and ice cream, and candy, and even (God help me) potatoes if I have to... But you'll get my bread over my cold, dead, amputated foot.

How do I learn the arcane etiquette, though?

begins taking notes mhmm, mhmm

Oh Great Tumbling Sage, I have long sought out one of your ilk!

Tell me, should I, a humble gay, get into tumbler? It seems scary, but also fun. I saw what they did to poor John Green.

Nice! I use a French press and loose tea from a Mediterranean market I get to every few weeks

Because it's not destructive at all. It wipes away just like dry erase, except it doesn't wipe away until you want it to.

Learned about years ago when I worked a job packing bags for a prison commissary. Would write the inmates name on the plastic packaging in sharpie. If you made a mistake you could erase it. Works a charm.

I forgot about spacehey! I made an account and never got around to setting it up. Shame it's not part of the fediverse, though! Myspace had that part where you could, like, post a random letter or something that wasn't confined to your friends. I can't remember what it was called. I just remember Mrs. Abnorman Punkrockwell used to post open letters. Lmao. Anyway, it would be perfect for integrating into Mastodon, and Myspace groups would be perfect for integrating into Lemmy.

I'll check these out! Never heard of em

I ignore most notifications on my phone, other than like active shit, like phone calls. Most notifications are turned off, and I'm not in the habit of actually reading notifications. It's better for my mental health not to rely on them. I use older school methods for most shit.

I have actually used sharpies to write on my phone screen, for like, super important shit that I need to make sure not to figure when I wake up. Often, notifications get ignored or forgotten about

This is the answer. Shit works so well I routinely just use sharpies to write on mirrors or windows when I need to. Any surface that's glass, metal, or in a pinch hard plastic if it's not going to sit too long. Come in later with dry erase. Fantastic way to leave notes on the mirror. Dry erase won't hold up to the steam in a shower if it's something that needs to be there for a bit, like an on going list, daily affirmations or some shit, or reminders.

Dammit! I just got this song outta my head

Don't you wanna know why we keep startin' fires

Honestly, friendica seems cool, in the same way Facebook seemed cool in the early days, but if we're remaking social media for the fediverse, can we try to remake Myspace instead?

Fuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu deep breath uuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuck
