    Healthy snack idea

    Jump

  • "Healthy" is sort of subjective, especially in an era where prepackaged snack cakes and cookies and all manner of processed foods are super common, and often far more available than fresh alternatives. Is this healthier than just eating a handful of spinach leaves or a bowl of riced cauliflower? Likely not. Is this healthier than opening a package oreos, saying you'll have 2, and then eating the entire thing while binge watching something on Netflix? I have no idea. I assume so, maybe I'm wrong. But this take effort and time to make, so you'll probably eat fewer of them, and not snack on them absent mindedly as you would with something that took zero effort to obtain. Plus, this looks like it tastes way better

    Atheist don't believe in God why they believe their father? God is described by holy books and Saints while Father is described by our Mother.

  • Yeah, I went and checked to make sure they weren't aggressive or hostile before posting my comment. I think they are genuine, and they've responded to people who told them basically "wrong community" and then posted in a different community. I think there might also be a language barrier at work here. The particular "denomination" (not really a fitting world, but "sect" is loaded and "path" sounds hippydippy to most people) is in hard to pin down, but it sounds like a guru-centric Vaishnavite group with a lot of Christian influence in their morals. Hinduism doesn't really have a lot of the "no sex!" Rules until Christianity influenced it, which is why I'm guessing a specific guru lineage and not just a general Vaishnavite family tradition. But, not an expert. Either way, I think they're at least attempting to act in good faith

  • Jai parabrahman! Hare Krishna! I checked out your profile. I'm an Advaitin, so I hope you don't take this as hostility.

    I see what you're trying to do, and I respect it. You have a sincerely held belief, and you want to share that. But this really isn't the place for it. Evangelizing Bhakti in communities that aren't designed for the discussion of religion or philosophy is just going to end up with locked threads and eventually probably a ban. You need to read the community rules before posting, and seek out communities specifically for this kind of discussion. They do exist. There are Buddhist communities already, though I have not found a Hindu community yet. Consider creating one! While you and I do not agree on many things, I would join a Hindu community on Lemmy.

    I know you think you're helping, but in reality you will drive people further from your position by attempting to go around the rules and brute force your opinions. Sanatana Dharma is a big tent, with a lot of variation, and Bhakti has its place, but these sorts of posts are quite similar to some of the harmful things that people around here have experienced with other religions. Evangelism hurt a lot of people, in India and in the west, and Lemmy is primarily dominated by users who have rejected it or have negative associations with Christian evangelism, and will not react fondly to being preached at, especially when it so closely resembles what they're actively attempting to move away from.

    I do hope you can find or create a community here on Lemmy to discuss your beliefs! If you'd ever like to have a discussion about Advaita, vishtiadvaita, Shaivism, or nondualism I would love that. I'd even be very interested to talk about Bhakti some time! My personal path is attempting to find and understand Nirguna Brahman, but I would love to discuss your Saguna and learn more about that path. I'm assuming you're a Vaishnavite, and I have always been interested in learning more about that tradition.

    Om Shanti. Om tat sat.

  • Yeah, like, at first I thought they were sacrificing to a false god through the effigy, but then I saw it's definitely him with the hose, clearly they are sacrificing to Hose God. I mean, good lesson for them, I guess? No sacrifices, it angers the Hose God. But I don't see jealousy...

  • Pumpkin dreams

    Jump

  • It kind of is. Like, I imagine back in the day before we had refrigeration and other methods like canning it was something to do with excess turnips and then eventually pumpkins, but it is weird.

    The one that really bothers me, though, are the mini pumpkins and gourds. Folks might have one, maybe two, jack-o'-lanterns, but they'll waste dozens of those mini gourds on decoration. Those things are delicious! And if you're buying them every year, not carving them, they always look basically the same... That's a pretty good use for something like plastic or glass, and save the food for, like, food. The pumpkins I get people want to do something creative and different with each year, but the mini gourds? They just sit there like lumps!

  • What's a small thing that made you happy today?

  • That's really interesting! Thanks for explaining. How often do you play music for your patients? I've never had a doctor do this, but I haven't had a lot of procedures

  • Like, you joke, but straight up, I despise getting pubes in my mouth. Fucking things are worse than popcorn kernal shells.

  • Dude was very appreciative, he was panicked because he had pictures and sentimental things in it. Did not offer a reward and we didn't ask... I did hope. But I didn't ask. Lol

  • I dream of finding the wallet stuffed with enough cash to dig me out of this mess, but in reality, if there's any way at all to get it back to who dropped it, I will. Found a wallet a few months ago on a day trip, laying in the road. Ending up using the names on the credit cards to Facebook stalk a dude, found his company website, called him, and met him a half hour later to return it. Had like 800 dollars in cash it. I just... Can't be an asshole, even when it would benefit me

  • I love woodworking, and many years ago when I first trying to get some tools together, with very, very little money to my name, a friend of a friend gifted me a bunch of stuff, but it was all metric. My speed square was the only non metric tool I had (I'm in the States). Took me forever to find a metric speed square I could afford. Lol. It suuuuuucked doing the conversion for everything. Lol

  • Square in carpentry is used a little differently. It includes rectangles, and is more about the corners being 90 degree right angles. In fact, a carpenters square is a tool that is triangle shaped!
