Religious stuff. Long, CWed for Length
@Surasanji Even though I regard myself as an atheist, I keep doing the prayer stance when I was taken to pagodas or monasteries because doing it or not doesn’t mean anything to me and I would rather just do a 10 seconds stance instead of explaining 15 minutes or so why I’m not a buddhist anymore. I used to join r/atheism back when I was fairly new to reddit and unsubbed after how toxic it’s. I tried to ignore what people worship or believe as much as possible, part of the reasons I became an atheist is because I don’t want to think about next life, past life or karma and treat religion as something that doesn’t exist for me from the start. But it’s pretty hard to ignore when somebody starts shoving in my face how they don’t like how I’m practicing as a buddhist(which I’m not). I went to a trip with my aunt and her family a while ago and when we came back, she told my mom how I don’t know how to address monks(we stayed in a monastery). My mom proceeded to lecture two hours telling me “Do you even know how to address monks?” and how she’s going to be blamed for not teaching her daughter to be religious enough(always the blaming part included). Just a few days ago an acquaintance of my dead aunt came and asked my mom for donations for the new monastery while telling her it’s true that my aunt donated money but not as enough as her so she died earlier than her(my aunt died of cancer). She also proceeded telling my mom we’re upper middle class not because of our doing but because of past life karma, and she’s lower middle class because she donated not enough in her past life. Hello, my grandparents’ business got seized during anti-Chinese persecution and became poor due to that but my parents work hard to reach this life situation. I’m fine with religious people as long as they don’t start invading my space and shoving their religious stuff. When they do that however, I want to bite back. Idk maybe me not telling people I’m an atheist is not a good idea. I should make a post on facebook where my relatives and friends are present and tell them to leave me alone.
@Surasanji The only genres I play are simulation games and visual novels, and I could only drool at steam’s visual novels because all I own is an old mac and I don’t have enough space to dual boot windows. I saw visual novels announcements for switch and started thinking of getting it. Thought about getting psvita but it’s old now and the companies are announcing their shift to switch.
@Surasanji Ahhh... you’re tempting me! I occasionally crave big screens but most of the time I like handhold devices because portability and I don’t know, the feeling of more personal by holding it in my hand? I could connect to TV if I want a bigger screen with switch... owww I really want it now 😖
@Surasanji mobile games are just cash cows. I really tried to find pay once and play games but the app store is flooded with freemium games. I need a portable and dedicated gaming device I can play in bed.
What a random dream! I dreamt box.com posted on their instagram “There’re plenty of fish in the sea but don’t be the wrecked ship the only place you’re looking at for” with a photo of a submerged ship. And that the photo got 155,000 something likes while their other photos on instagram got only around 1500 likes. Tooting before I forgot.
@dee I denied.... jk either way they’ll know I’m alive after seeing last online status. I confirmed of course
@QuantumHemp fb is pretty bloated and has became stricter these days but I don’t know what VK considers illegal. Isn’t being gay illegal in Russia? Though I doubt any lgbt persons would be there since most military supporters are conservatives and don’t seem to be that acceptance of lgbts. NSFW photos are only of women right? Not that interested 😗
Wow exodus from #Facebook to #VKontakte. Which is worse?
