Funnily enough magecock sounds more like the bird

Its just a yearly tradition.

I’ve lost three grandparents, and here, our approach to death is different from the West. We don’t prepare the bodies extensively, just keep them cool. For the funeral, they’re wrapped in a white cloth, laid on a bed at home where ‘guests’ pay their respects. Then we carry them to the grave, where we place them directly into the earth, without a casket. Just the white cloth. I’ve been 6 feet deep in my grandparents grave putting down their bodies, was the last person to see their eyes.

Seeing the dead isn’t disrespectful; it acknowledges mortality without layers of abstraction. Cultures vary widely in their views on death, and that’s okay. But I find value in an approach that doesn’t hide death behind closed doors, whether in slaughterhouses, funeral homes, or distant graveyards.

There’s nothing to hide. Being able to see the dead doesn’t make it less respectful. Don’t see death with a strict sense of morality. Every culture has very different views on death. And even the same cultures over time vary in beliefs.

I have far too many opinions on this lol and I’ll spare you any more of my rambling.

Why do we hide from death so much?

First I’ve noticed this instance.

I knew it would be the first platform to go. The same goes for substack, thats next.

Yeah I’ve been having issues with innertune and have been using ytm revanced now. The big issue for me is whether or not my innertune history will be merged once I login. I fear it won’t and so haven’t signed in at all.

Edit: I said fuck it and logged in. All worked out fine.

I’ve tried EVERYTHING. And I mean EVERY possible foss android keyboard. I don’t even think its a matter of taste but just fact that heliboard works best.

Florisboard was decent for a while but at the end of the day heliboard is the correct answer

I’m using the s9 and have been since it came out. The Samsung s series is great. If you get the s23 you won’t have to worry about replacing it anytime soon.

Only issue you will run in to is software updates end after 3 years I think (not sure).

Now idk if thats an issue for you but its the only thing that comes to mind.

Just made me realise I still haven’t hit 1k (on this account)

When the browser first came out I was on chrome and decided to try ddg and have gotten used to it since. I only got into privacy as a focus after that but ddg still does well AMS works for most things I want.

Also quicker than mull on my poor old phone.

Mull and the duckduckgo app

Well signal also has the note to self.

People will hate this, but WhatsApp is probably the second best and convenient to most people. (But if your friends are willing to get signal, do it.) In fact it was always better than telegram, there I said it.

Also there’s many great note taking apps that have a sync feature. Joplin for one.

I have noticed some phones being more susceptible to this than others. My galaxy s9 has been through the ringer and is perfectly fine, meanwhile seen note 10 has this issue a lot.

I had assumed that was always the case

Suck my Wang

He never said this, why are you making these false claims. I will not stand for this

I’m on eternity on android and you can do that when viewing a post

Chicken is like the most convenient protein. Its cheap, easily accessible, easy to cook, versatile.

Why do they have to force me to say omg this is just like nineteen eighty four every fucking day
