reading sikh commentary on AI that cites catholic commentary, and discussing taoism and how it’s in conversation (even if indirectly) with judaism, really reminds me how much interfaith conversation is like, fundamental to my core

highlights from dinner with @directxman12.dev include: me gesticulating emphatically and going “the PROBLEM with so many western attempts at the cultivation concept is that there’s—just—the awareness of PROPER PEDAGOGY is NOT THERE, there is no concept of PRINCIPLES and FOUNDATIONS and SCAFFOLDING”

Former Barnes and Noble bookseller and, for them at least, this isn't going to apply all the time.
What almost certainly will help is, when buying whatever book in store, talking to the bookseller(s) about why you're buying the book.
It can be as simple as "saw it on TikTok a bunch"

I once asked a bookseller at a large indie store how many people would have to buy a book for it to get the attention of the store buyer and cause an additional order and they said: Three.
I see some book piracy discourse, and, to make a positive argument in favor of buying books, your marginal ability to influence what books get published and support the careers of writers you like is massive compared to most other forms of media.

The external books tell of the Thanksgiving miracle, in which a 12 pound turkey provided 20 pounds of leftovers.

In the festive meal one is required to eat a minimal amount of side dishes and each dish must be made by a separate household. It is asked if one is required to eat a Midwest Salad. And the sages answer, in all lands a salad is a mixture of vegetables, in the Midwest it is a mixture of any food.

In books of derush it is said: all food is stuffing, for is not the purpose of food to be stuffed into us?
The masters of musar said: we too are stuffing, as eventually we will stuff the Earth.

What are the mitzves of Thanks Giving, a festive meal, to eat the turkey bird, to hear the story of thepilgrim, to watch the football game. And some say to argue with an uncle.

@kourge.net I was talking with @directxman12.dev about how this feels like it is also a translation of laozi or some other ancient chinese text
And it is asked, What is stuffing. Stuffing is cooked inside the turkey bird. Dressing is cooked outside. Stuffing acquires the the taste of the turkey bird during cooking. Some say that because stuffing acquires the taste it covers one for eating the turkey bird.

I have discovered jasmine sandlas who sings in punjabi and uses her chest voice instead of the reedy head voice that the vast majority of women seem to use?? I am soooo happy that there’s someone with the same range as me who sings the masculine style that I prefer

What might happen to someone if they were to consume say, 3lbs of margarine every day for a month?
Just have some extra margarine lying around that I'm hoping to put to good use. If not 3lbs, how much could I eat a day and still be okay? Thank you.](https://cdn.bsky.app/img/feed_thumbnail/plain/did:plc:vtcm54bmbkuaj32aiqtbvrwu/bafkreibzhetovxcwgpqwitexh7ifjezeywakn2pvrtyzqcxnsi3uov7xeq@jpeg)
