I hope that one day you too can share a connection with a special someone or someones where you never have to poop alone.

You are valuable, loveable and you deserve this

I’d like to think these are just some of the universal things of what makes a community fulfilling and fun, as I was mostly trying to abstract some of my favorite things about being Jewish from the faith component.

For some people, it’s important to have rules!! Of course you need the standard social construct rules, but the less necessary ones are important too. I think they give structure and consistency to people, so even if they’re arbitrary, it fulfils that need and as long as isn’t disruptive to society, I don’t see the harm. Plus, knowing someone also follows the same rules, rituals and holidays you do gives you instant rapport with them, so it aids in building a sense of community. Polite people outside of the new religion will also be curious and interested in hearing about these rules/rituals and whatever reasoning could uphold them, and the followers likely will enjoy explaining them, so this helps them build friendships outside of the religious group as well.

Tho it’s crucial that others aren’t ostracized for not following the more arbitrary ones and that those that do follow them don’t feel any actionable feelings of superior devotion or what-not. I think you can ostracize people who violate rules that relate to already well established social constructs (theft, murder, etc), but not the more frivolous restrictions and behavioral requirements we’d invent here.

The most fun parts of religion are the camaraderie and intricate, abstracted rituals that used to serve one purpose but now serve a different, often symbolic one.

So lots of that. Spaced out throughout the year as to give followers a way of marking the passing of time and a reason to call out of work at regular intervals.

Oh, let’s toss in a lil religious specific language to aid as a group identifier and how about some arbitrary rules/guidelines that aren’t strictly enforced and vary by region but give those rules loving peoples something to grab onto.

Oh oh oh and unique cuisine! Food goods made in certain ways at certain times, with some slight variation so followers could have techniques and recipes to share and mild, inconsequential things to disagree and hold frivolous, memetic arguments about.

The details don’t really matter all that much, as long as it can serve as a way to find community and camaraderie in new places, reinforce solidarity with your fellow humans, and give some rituals for timekeeping and distraction from modern life.

If I worked for J.P. Morgan Chase, I’d make a thousand new accounts by distributing VCR cleaner from a float

This is why I dodge some of the big city pride events.

Too many banks.

Once. It took like 15 min and I did it while grocery shopping.

Crucially, I said paying for, but also, naw prolly not.

After what they did to KSP2, I ain’t paying for another Take-Two game.

Superman. He just does everything and wins. Unless you show him a green rock.

It’s stupid. I don’t understand how it ever interested anyone.

From how I understand it, you dream every night as your body enters REM sleep, but you often don’t remember dreams. You can try and train yourself to better recall your dreams and in doing so you may find that you “dream more often”.

I’d say I have weeks where I remember my dreams, sometimes multiple, every night, and other times where I’ll go a week or more without recalling any. It varies on a lot of things. In particular, I’ll find if I stop smoking weed for about 4 or more days, I’ll start remembering dreams vividly and frequently, but that’ll lessen over 2 weeks.

I clean it off. I feel this helps prevent spoilage as the lid will have a better seal on a clean rim than a dirty one.

The Culture as imagined by Iain M. Banks.

Taking jobs as passion projects and partying on the side with my bespoke suite of substances produced by thought activated glands in my brain? Sign me tf up. Imma design avant-garde planetary landscapes for like 4 years, then spend 2 just raving constantly then swap genders for a spell? Crazy good utopian concept.

Drink my piss

This isn’t a meme, it’s an attempt to tell people about a product.

Huff my entire asshole and delete your post

Get this advertisement outta here

I am a communist and I will turn everything gay. Vote for me in every election for every position.

Especially when it’s made with a whole za’atar roasted chicken in the same pot before the soup. Ooh and extra schmaltz or even better… duck fat!!

Sleep. Just a ton of sleep. It sucks, but it’ll pass.

I drink a ton of ginger tea with honey when I got any throat thing, too. Idk if that really does much, but it feels nice and is tasty.

That, and a big batch of matzo ball soup. Even better if you don’t have to make it.

Buddy… you got no clue.

Biden is an absolute piece of shit and I’m still gonna cast my vote for him. That said, with the electoral systems the way they are, my vote is utterly irrelevant. I live in a deep blue state. I could vote for anyone and it would be irrelevant, the electoral college for my state might as well vote now and be done with it. There’s not a snowflakes chance in hell for there to be a different outcome.

This just isn’t funny or interesting content, it’s just a bitter political opinion. Furthermore, it’s principled but impractical. There’s no large enough voting bloc of “MAGA agents LARPing as internet leftists” to move the needle on any federal election.

With that in mind, it violates Rule 1. There’s no interpretation of this post that’s attempting to be civil or kind and your vitriol and wild assumptions in the comments confirm that.

Lastly, if this is genuinely something that bothers you, it’s far more practical to address the DNC and your Democrat representatives about their messaging and platform. They have the power to affect far more hearts and minds than a self-righteous pisspost on a lemmy community.

There’s, like, not even a joke. It’s just an opinion expressed in an image format.
