I probably butchered it since I’m mostly self-taught from reading my German friends chatswith no context most of the time, but I was trying to say I’m too high to learn German. But I’m guessing I messed up my idioms

Foresterto RealFurryHours•Would dragons be looked down upon in society because they can't walk and carry things at the same timeEnglish2·1 day agoSo to be clear, you have initiated a rule that bans the discussion of the question you have asked. Do you expect people to respond?
On the one hand, yes, on the other hand, this was a society where forced castration was common
I’m not going to fall for your AI generated garbage you charlatan. I only read the good (book) website /s

Respectfully, that’s a load of bullshit and not how that works.
I would strongly advise you to read. Matthew 19 to Matthew 22. Organized religion tends to have this thing where they add bullshit rules constantly to the the actual story.
https://www.bibleref.com/Matthew/19/Matthew-19-1.html
The direct quotes from Jesus himself, especially in Matthew 21. Paint a very different picture than organized religion would tell you.
In short it doesn’t matter if you live a overly pious and spiritual life and constantly put on that image, in fact it’s worthless. What matters is the acts and deeds you do. How you treat others.
NIV Just then a man came up to Jesus and asked, “Teacher, what good thing must I do to get eternal life?”
“Why do you ask me about what is good?” Jesus replied. “There is only One who is good. If you want to enter life, keep the commandments.”
“Which ones?” he inquired. Jesus replied, " ‘You shall not murder, you shall not commit adultery, you shall not steal, you shall not give false testimony,
honor your father and mother,’ and ‘love your neighbor as yourself.’ "
“All these I have kept,” the young man said. “What do I still lack?”
Jesus answered, “If you want to be perfect, go, sell your possessions and give to the poor, and you will have treasure in heaven. Then come, follow me.”
When the young man heard this, he went away sad, because he had great wealth.
Then Jesus said to his disciples, "Truly I tell you, it is hard for someone who is rich to enter the kingdom of heaven.
From my limited Torah rereading the Jews don’t see gender as binary but they do see sex as binary.
Not my area of expertise though so take what I grab from Google with a spoon of salt
Zachar (male): This is the standard term for a male individual.
Nekevah (female): This is the standard term for a female individual.
Androgynos: This term refers to individuals who possess both male and female physical characteristics. In Jewish law, androgynos are considered to have some rights and obligations of both men and women.
Tumtum: This term describes individuals whose sexual characteristics are indeterminate or obscured. They are considered to have some of the obligations and prohibitions of both men and women.
Aylonit: This refers to a person assigned female at birth but who does not develop secondary female sex characteristics at puberty and is likely infertile.
Saris: This term refers to a person assigned male at birth who develops feminine characteristics, potentially due to castration or other factors.

If you want my head cannon were a simulation God is a programmer and we’re just his buggy code.
God had to step into the simulation to figure out why it was fucked.
After experiencing the code that is humanity he realized it was a code error he made then forgives humanity for all of the rules we broke that he had made that were unfeasible.

If you have access to a personal computing device, you are by definition a kulak. The average value of goods confiscated from kulaks during dekulakization was 170–400 rubles per household…
You’re telling me the brown Jewish hippie, that ran a commune, freeley distributed food and medicine, the guy who’s entire message was compassion and forgivness was not a blonde haired blue-eyed Republican?!?!?!? Unfathomable

Foresterto Showerthoughts@lemmy.world•"With all due respect" could imply that no respect is due and therefore none is givenEnglish14·2 days agoI use it a lot.
It’s corporate speak for please shut up and listen to me because you’re conjuring bullshit straight out of your ass.
Example
customer: I don’t want to do x thing for y reason because it could cause issue a issue b issue c etc
Me: with all due respect sir, I believe you may be conflating possible issue z with issue x. Fortunately we do not have to worry about issue x because of reason. Furthermore, even if issue x happened, this would be the result of that failure and it would create issue d or issue e or even issue f but not issue a or b or c.

Foresterto Lemmy Be Wholesome@lemmy.world•An Open Letter to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Who Thinks My Daughter is a TragedyEnglish6·3 days agoYou seem to be missing the point of my analogy. I don’t have a bicycle frame. I have a car frame but only two wheels
If I had meant bicycle or motorcycle I would have used those words
I chose the analogy that I did because it best illustrates the struggle that I feel internally watching other people operate and live their lives normal lives
Foresterto Lemmy Be Wholesome@lemmy.world•An Open Letter to Robert F. Kennedy Jr., Who Thinks My Daughter is a TragedyEnglish12·3 days agoFor a very crude analogy, you can imagine a normal four wheel car as nuerotypical.
Just because I have learned to balance a two-wheel car through sheer determination and willpower does not mean that I don’t notice that I’m missing two fucking Wheels. I’m just exceptionally good at masking deficiencies as I drive from a to b and not letting people notice as my overdeveloped other skills can be used to compensate .
All that high functioning means is that I am aware of what society expects me to do. Manually take corrective actions to meet expectations and maintain appearances constantly. It’s tiring. Draining exhausting.
Variety is the spice of life. You just have to stir in some other cultures from time to time.
