       I'm starting to think that a good part of what prayer does, with its ludicrous idea of heaven,and what meditation buddhist style does, with its pantheon of ridiculous and silly davas and bramas, is just to give an image for the imaginationAn image to hold tight against feelings of addiction, and ptsd, of involuntary, negative , and unpleasant thoughts and memories.  Just a flashpoint you can light up, when the darkness comes.Makyo or not, It doesn't have to be true, it just has to be the right kind of meme that has sticking power, and gets you through the brain fault - get you through the moment where your brain decides no, really, you have to think about that one thing that you really don't want to think about.  The one mistake you made, perhaps, or the one person you didn't save.It's worth perhaps a little extra empathy for the fantasy-based community who are in the state of mind not because they choose to be for no reason, but because of trauma, and a broken memory retrieval apparatus.  Even if they try to carry their makyo back into the real world because of it. It's a lesson I may have to re-learn

       @jeffcliff For some reason this took 250d to federate with my instance. Anyway, lol @ "fantasy based community," you think that COVID-19 is a serious issue and that most people use Linux for gaming

       @jeffcliff First of all, we were talking about PC gayming; Windows vs Linux. Second of all Android isn't Linux, it's a fork of it. Cope.

       @NEETzsche "PC" is no longer the dominant gaming platform and hasn't been for years.Android is absolutely linux.  Everyone uses a "fork" of linux...that's the beauty of free software, you can fork it.  Go into your settings and see your 'about kernel'

       @sclerite @jeffcliff He does not, but that's why we love him. He's like a time capsule from the mid-2000s, when instead of leftists genuinely hating all non-leftists, they were merely wrong about most things

       @jeffcliff Have your considerations changed since?Prayers does seem to be an effective coping method for some people. There's also a few kinds of social support accessible if you're part of a church "in-group" that can otherwise be tricky to obtain. Even if its a bit fucky sometimes, there IS some kind of sense of community, which seems somewhat unavailable if you're secular.Makerspaces definitely provided a sense of community for a bit before they died. Fraternities and sororities still do for their members. It's concerning that the churches are seemingly one of the few community gathering places left.

       @bananarama I don't think they have no.  This toot though, I should probably print off and make sure I remember because it's easy to forget.The lack of social safety net, and social community generally...it's a major problem: social societies have always been something I've tried to bootstrap but which covid makes virtually impossible to do right

       @sclerite @NEETzsche the Android project has always been a linux-based project - that's what got me to go trying to get an android working back in like 2006  While google was toying with replacing linux with fuscia or something a few years ago...they haven't got there yet

       @dj @NEETzsche @sclerite while dailykos is in my database it's ...pretty low priority.In the mid-2000s? I would have been more likely to be the website of the cult i was in or possibly slashdot, indymedia or b0g

       @jeffcliff @bananarama>social societies have always been something I've tried to bootstrap but which covid makes virtually impossible to do rightThis is because the powers that be hate you and want to see you suffer and fail. It is not the disease itself, but the response to it, that has rendered this goal of yours virtually impossible. These shutdowns are designed to gaslight those who trust the medical establishment and civil government into becoming hermits while practically criminalizing people who don't trust these things and show a defiant streak.

       @jeffcliff @NEETzsche @dj In the mid-2000s I was getting serial banned from mmorpg.com for telling people to kill themselves. I don't think it was such an outrageous suggestion in most cases but even back then ZOG was everywhere keeping a nigga down.

       @jeffcliff @sclerite @dj Mid-2000s I was struggling in high school and playing MUDs. I didn't really care about politics.

       @NEETzsche @dj @jeffcliff I don't think I gave politics any thought at all until television personalities started telling me that Obama will never be president because crackas be evil.
