He loves you more than he hates gay people. It’s as simple as that. You don’t have to accept his hatred, or enable it, but it’s also okay to be happy that your dad loves you.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Have you had any family members cut you off for not voting for who they voted for?
5·9 days agoYeah I’m not interested in having a relationship with anyone who voted for a well known rapist so they could re-segregate the government.
That’s incredible

4·4 months agoSounds like a great set up. Thanks for answering and doing right by your horse. I should have known from her being so willing to horse around with you in the heat.

6·4 months agoShe needs a lick, you are right. Does she have any shade? A temporary shade spot can be a life saver for a pasture animal in the heat.
Sandy is beautiful, love her coat color.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•How do you know you're actually reasoning - and not just storytelling?
9·4 months agoBy remaining self critical. Listening to new ideas. Trying to not hold it against myself when I’m wrong. Also reading, lots and lots of reading. I’ve been reading at a college level since the middle of elementary school, and Ive used that time to read a ridiculous corpus of books, tomes, treatises and manuscripts. Can even speak and write a little Old Babylonian.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Seems like the perfect day to ask: Muricans, what's your dream country to expatriate to? Non-Muricans, what's the thought on accepting US refugees?
4·5 months agoThat is true, but I would really like to live in the region and Jordan is probably the safest bet. Otherwise Morocco is the smart choice for arabic speaking nation tolerant of Americans with a reasonable margin for safety. I won’t be leaving anytime soon either way, this is more of a dream living abroad answer for right now. I intend to vote, protest and be a pain in the ass until they drive me out.

12·5 months agoMorocco or Jordan. Been trying to learn Arabic for a few years and would love to be forced to take it more seriously. Mostly can just read the letters. They are relatively safe countries that are in areas of the world I have studied extensively. Also means closer travel to many of the old cities I want to visit.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What book(s) are you reading right now and recommend for others?
3·5 months agoIm reading The Bridge on the Drina, and the first Ahriman omnibus from the warhammer universe right now. Id recommend the first to anyone, its an absolute classic. The second I would recommend to anyone who likes warhammer or weird sorcerer bull shit.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some good uses for smart phones?
1·5 months agoI use one called W1ANT Satellite Tracker. I don’t think it has a camera feature. The fun for me is locating the sat and following it from a map. In practice this involves me looking like a lunatic running around my apartment complex with my HT held sideways, staring up at the sky.

3·5 months agoHam radio is licensed by the country you live in. In the US, the basic technician license is very cheap and the test to get it is fairly easy with an abundance of online materials, including answer keys, to study. The reason these licenses are important is because ham operators need to operate within legally defined band plans, or radio frequency allocation guidelines. Emergency services, search and rescue, your nations military, all use specific radio bands given to them by the government. The license helps teach you how to avoid interfering with someone who can get you into serious trouble. It also helps keep you safe, and requires you to learn some basic electrical knowledge that frankly will be mildly useful the rest of your life. Amateur radio is a really fun skill that isn’t that hard to learn. If you have any more questions, feel free to ask and if you want specific information about your countries licensing, Im happy to help look it up.
EDIT: Just to add, you can always listen without a license. That’s why scanners exist, but you need a license once you hit the button to transmit on a ham radio frequency.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•What are some good uses for smart phones?
7·5 months agoI use it for a lot, but one I haven’t seen mentioned. I use it to support my ham radio hobby. I have a satellite tracker for when I want to contact radio sats, a solar weather app for checking HF propagation and I have echolink which let’s me connect to hundreds of radio repeaters around the globe.
*HF = high frequency, its a section of radio frequencies that bounce off the atmosphere. Let’s you talk worldwide if you have the right frequency and conditions. Solar weather significantly impacts how radio waves interact with the upper atmosphere.

Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Share your wisdom (?). Have lots of knowledge but "my bones" crave and cry out for true wisdom
10·5 months agoTreat people with love, respect and patience. For the vast majority, you won’t get a second chance.

Well my advice would be to not pick a fight over a mildly annoying gift, but you seem to have your compass set to your priorities. So good luck, hope you work it out.
