Make sure you enter a space like you have been sent there, and leave like you have accomplished your mission and make haste to your next one.

... is what I would have done if it were possible to do here. People love chit-chatting. "Indonesia is the friendliest country in the world" naah, we're just nosy, bro. It's a double-edged sword, really. We're friendly, maybe. Looks like community-oriented, prioritising social harmony. But nobody tells you that the social harmony here requires homogeneity. Which can mean that you should not talk about justice if it is against those who are respected in society.

The usual greetings, chit-chat scripts roughly translate to "Where have you been?", "Long time no see! How many kids do you have now?" "Where are you going?" "Where do you work?" "Are you married?" "Why do you live alone?" "I thought you were married! Who was that guy last year visiting your apartment?" "How was your Eid? What did you cook for your family?" "Why are you always in your apartment? Come outside watching our kids together!" "What are you cooking today?" "Where does your husband work?" etc., etc.

The friendliness (or nosiness) is also a form of social control and surveillance.

Hence, I use that to my advantage instead; I use it to hone my storytelling skills.

One time, I was a neglected third wife of a Yemeni merchant. Other times, I was the secret mistress of a government official, a widow of a military husband, a loyal wife of a naval officer, a divorced wife enjoying her second chance in life, etc., etc., and I make it obvious they are all made-up stories, that I am lying to their faces. But they just laugh it off. I think at this point these people wouldn't know if I'm ever telling the truth.

I guess, in a way, it's mission accomplished.

“He looked at it, closed the case and said, ‘Let’s get out of here before they realize what they’ve sold you’”: How Rory Gallagher grabbed his iconic 1963 Gretsch Corvette for the princely sum of $150

It seems a missed function in browsers, to auto refuse those.

I must get PiHole up and running.

While the Abrahamic faiths insists that the Universe began at some point, #Buddhism suggests that the Universe might just have always been here. The real truth is probably way weirder than any of our best guesses anyway... More at suchanek.name/texts/atheis... #atheism

🪷 Buddhistdoor Quote for Today: Linji Yixuan (d. 866 CE) 🪷

✨ If you love the holy and hate the ordinary, you float and sink in the sea of birth and death. Affliction exists because of mind: if you have no mind, how can affliction hold you? If you do not try to discriminate and grasp forms, naturally you find the Path that instant. — Linji Yixuan (d. 866 CE) ✨
