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).

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

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

I could see this becoming an idiom that means something like “I have too many good things in a bad place”

Like, if you have so much food in the fridge that you can’t eat it before it goes bad. Or you have so many fun projects to get to this weekend that you know you’ll never have the time to finish them all.

What’s the literal translation there?

Oh, I thought my app was glitching out! Lol. That’s why I thought the account was deleted in my first reply!

Yeah, I remember you! What’s going on? Everytime we’ve spoken has been very fun for me haha

I love the small town vibe Lemmy has sometimes, it’s so nice seeing that interaction across communities, instead of solely confined to a single sub, y’know?

My app (eternity) is for some reason not showing me your user name, it just says to sign up for Lemmy. Lol. I can’t tell who I’m talking to. Gonna have to give me a hint or three. Lmao

But ah, yes, no, that’s a bad idea unless you’re very into buttholes of all persuasions

Did they delete their whole account? Lol. What in God’s name did they say?

And in the pale light

I found such an endless love

Show me that bunghole

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

Yeah, someone’s home is best. Lol.

platonic in the sense of romance. Lol. Like, honestly, yeah, fun game with a sexual component like strip poker. You’re not necessarily getting off, or getting entangled with anyone there. I see this is as a game of endurance with a “thrill” aspect.

Also, I may have said dad above. He’s step dad, and that family is definitely close enough they could play that and it not it be weird for them. I doubt the step dad/son would actually be the ones to mess with the others settings, but they’d probably be down to be at the group event. Lol. Hell, even the mom might be. Super open family. Strong boundaries, but those boundaries are places a lot further afield than my family’s. Lol

Okay, here’s the plan:

We get Bluetooth controller prostate massagers and those egg ones for the folks with vaginas.* Everyone has one in, everyone else has group access to control it.

We all go to a karaoke bar, and whoever is up on stage we all mess with the remote app while they’re singing and try to throw them off. Everyone’s gotta sing at least once. Try to stay in rhythm while the thing is buzzing, or nothing happens and you’re so focused on what to do when it starts, never know if they’re going to do it or not. Will that low note suddenly become a falsetto? Who knows‽

I swear to God, if I had the money to buy the things, I have at least 3 friends who would go for this. 4, honestly, but the 4th one would be too embarrassed to go because he’s the dad of one of the other friends. Lol.

To note, this isn’t a sexual “get you off” kind of thing. This is fully platonic “can you maintain decorum” type of game. It’d be a blast

*I know very little about sex toys for girls, whatever the best one is.

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.

This is the only post they’ve made. It’s definitely rage bait. Blocking em, I suggest others do the same

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?

I’ll post this as a thread if it’s beyond your scope to answer, but you seem like a smart person who might know a thing I have absently wondered about many times.

Balloons eventually fall back to the ground after the helium escapes. But let’s say you made a theoretical balloon that couldn’t allow the helium to escape, it’s perfectly sealed. Now, let’s say that the material it is made of is also as light as a regular balloon, but our near-magical material is also capable of withstanding extreme cold (like, outer space cold). Would it just float into space? I know that when we shoot rockets up there’s a lot of heat from the friction, but if something is moving slowly, that wouldn’t happen, I don’t think? But can a slow moving thing escape earth?

Tell me, oh great and wise Heliumancer, tell me the secrets of the light-gas!
