This isn't a sangha, as anonymity is antithetical to one, no way to hold one accountable for right conduct. Actually you would do well to go join an actual sangha. In fact if all your posts are truthful, that would probably be a very good idea. You get away from your supposed abusers and you get to actually practice Buddhism.

https://www.azbuddhisttemple.org/<- go there. Get help there.

Why post here about it? Go to fediverse@lemmy.world or something.

On an anonymous forum someone spamming weird pleas, pity-farming and constant trauma-dumping just reads as trolling. Nobody has 0 reason to believe anything you write. If you're in distress, call a help line. If you're assaulted, call the police. You've probably been blocked by half of Lemmy already because even if you're being sincere, there's literally nothing anyone can do to help you. Because again, anonymous forum. The fact that you seem to lack the common sense to understand this is exactly why you get blocked, banned or just ignored.

Lemmy can't help you. Get actual help.

Holy shit the escalation on Lemmy is just insane. Where the fuck did Optional say genocide enablers are good? There's 0 reason to make that claim. He said something mildly critical of certain streak of slacktivism on Lemmy and now he's a genocide supporter.

Do you ever give even the slightest thought to considering if it would be a bit easier to take you seriously if you wasn't so insanely hyperbolic all the fucking time?

Which of the systems allows for you to pursue your ideal system - an activity which you would probably add to your definition of a worthwhile life?

No, it’s not a tautology, it’s a pragmatic principle.

A tautology is a statement that’s true by definition and doesn’t add new meaning (e.g., "A circle is round").

An ontological tautology would be:

A system that supports the kind of life one thinks is worthwhile supports the kind of life one thinks is worthwhile.

Was working at a kitchen as a dish washer. Had this little cart to pick up plates etc. from the restaurant side. Was just returning the cart, fully loaded into the kitchen, to the dish spot and bumped the wheel into something, or it jammed. Tons of plates and food scraps on the floor...

In certain countries it is a way of social insurance. Many countries lack any other means of ensuring elder care etc.

Yeah this. People cuss at the price of repair sometimes being even higher than a new product (which is a valid criticism) but you're still more likely to be supporting a local worker rather than some faceless megacorp (though probably any spare parts might come from a corp, but at least some of the labor is rewarded as is due)
