That's fair, I personally wouldn't use the word spiritual for those things either, but I think it just comes down to a difference of opinion.

Interesting, how do you define spirituality?

[–] rozwud@beehaw.org 2 points 5 days ago (10 children)

I personally don't think something is spiritual just because it can't be measured.

Oh I'm certainly not advocating for forcing anyone to get rid of their religion (I'm not advocating for anything at all). It just struck me as interesting that you can't imagine a world without it.

I cannot imagine the world without religion, as human beings tend to be spiritual

I'm curious about this. I was raised somewhat religiously, but at this point, I can't imagine myself with religion, or spirituality, or any of it. Why do you think it's so essential?

I use Jerboa and it works just fine for me, but I honestly haven't bothered to compare it with others. This is Beehaw, a lovely corner of Lemmy.

There is an amazing Pink Floyd cover band in Albuquerque called Pink Freud. I might have seen them for the last time tonight. I'm not sure what to do with that.

I like almost everything, but for some reason I hate the taste of carrots in general.

I love spicy food though.

I had the same thought, but my partner pointed out that he'll probably just start a GoFundMe and a bunch of other jackasses will end up sending him 10x more than what he owes.

A bit of a mixed bag. I had posted awhile ago about a job I was supposed to hear back about on the 9th. Well the principal there submitted my name to HR, and they got back to him and told him that actually he can't hire anyone from out of district yet, and they weren't able to give him a definite answer to how much longer he needs to leave the job open for in district hires. So I applied for more jobs this past weekend, and I have another interview lined up for next week, but it's frustrating because I already know that I like this school and they like me. Also I'm getting over being sick and it's taking my voice forever to fully recover, so that's annoying.

But the choir I've been singing with for years had our end of year party last night, and they gave me a really wonderful send off, so that was really nice. And I'm going to see Rilo Kiley tonight and am very much looking forward to that!

This checks for me as a teacher. It's obviously not a cure all since there could be many other things in play, but it's wild how much progress kids with major behavior issues can make when they're given consistency.

I'll be there!

 

(I will preface this with saying that I'm rather high right now. But I do think the general sentiment will hold up in the morning.)

The older I get, the more I value interactions by the amount of kindness involved in them.

I've always valued kindness. Growing up, I was lucky to have good role models, so it was easy.

Unfortunately, I think many of us learn from a young age that there are many situations in which kindness is not particularly valued by others. So we don't really get rid of it, but we downplay it. It's very strange when you actually think about it.

Anyway, it's nice to be in a space where that sort of thing is actively curated. We're all free to choose to interact with people who are not kind whenever we want. I imagine that many of us intentionally do so, and that can be very worthwhile in its own way. But it's nice to be able to just be(e) and not worry about all that meanness.

I've been going on about kindness, and the rule is be(e) nice. I do think there's a slight difference, but I'm quickly losing the vocabulary to describe it. I think niceness is perhaps easier to achieve when interacting with people one doesn't know?

 

I didn't realize how much I needed this. Here you go in case you do too. <3

 

Sorry if this is the wrong place to ask. (I was originally going to post in !rotterdam@feddit.nl but it looks pretty inactive.) I'll be in Rotterdam in July and am hoping to buy a single day ticket to the North Sea Jazz Festival. The website says they go on sale 1 February. My guess would be that the sale will begin at 10am CET since that's when the 3-day tickets went on sale in November, but the website doesn't actually specify what time the single day tickets will go on sale.

Does anyone know from past experience what time the single day tickets go on sale and also how quickly they sell out? I'd rather not have to wake up at 4am my time on a Saturday unless it's actually necessary. 😅

 

I remember when I first figured out I was bisexual. It was pretty cut and dry


oh wait no it wasn't; that's just how I like to remember it.

I'm getting similar messy vibes around nonbinaryness now and then. Everyone is kinda nonbinary, right?

 

Listened to this one when coming down from a shroom trip, and I keep coming back to it.

 

I recently got to visit Wrangell-St. Elias National Park and do a couple of incredible hikes. Here's the second.

Hey, just wondering if this place is still trying to chug along or if there is a more active hiking community out there. This is the best I could find when I did a search. Happy to contribute to the best of my ability if this is what we've got!
