@Deceptichum and @dumblederp
exchanged sporting riposte. It was so polite. Not like wikiedia editors who are reactionary libtards dressed as 'neutral' cyclopaedic lambs. Freedom of assembly being an Australian value I hold dear.

I am a newbie to the fediverse and a mastodon user, so I can't see the original lemmy topic. just chiming in to say I am fascinated by the restraint of the combatants over legitimacy on the turf. I am not quite sure how one participates in the fediverse without comments. I can see how this would be considered interjections by some, not always welcome.

I started out with dokuwiki but it unexpectedly stopped working. I caved and used the default wordpress. Wordpress isn't actually popular, it's just the default provided by most ISP.

two metric milk crates. One on either side? You win - detachable shopping cart sounds great if you can afford to accessorize. Front handle basket for squashables!

Embassador to an overwhelming and malevolent empire of creditors. I would expect a lot of respectful silence on such thin ice.

An Australian unit of measurement that applies here is the milk crate. a bottom end attachment for a bike carrier will carry one persons weekly shop. attach with cable ties or similar. Wife sold our Yuba brand Boda-Boda cargo bike. I still commute with pedal power.

An eloquent and insightful explanation of Aussie culture there. Five stars is probably wanky overkill. Four stars sounds expensive. Three stars is normal. Two stars getting a bit bogan. One star quite feral.

Australia should be exporting SPAMB (canned spiced lamb) instead of live sheep. Keep the labour local and remove the argument about third world lack of refrigeration. True globalism would see spambwiches being served in cornish high tea and alaskan cafeterii.

I guess the meaning of 'Cultural Muslim' depends on your intention. My wifes family are Cultural catholics which I understand to mean they are raised in the culture of catholicism with all its history, language and practise, but they are not church regulars.

@CEOofmyhouse56 a "Almost Muslim" is an emerging new denomination indeed. I saw an episode of 'insight' on SBS where people identified as non-practising Muslim or cultural Muslim. I guess it is to be expected in liberal democracy that moderate and progressive beliefs are tolerated to some extent. The Sydney mardi-gras had a christian float recently. religion can and does change over time. The scientific calender etc.

@Gibsonisafluffybutt @Seagoon_ I am vaguely Quaker. Humanistic agnostic and very moderate, but still believe the universe is a mystery. My wife is lapsed catholic and dabbles in psychic and magic practises.

Ahmadi, Sufi, Wahabi, Shiite, Sunni are all denominations of islam I believe. I heard the call to prayer a few times, but even if we're to revert to Islam, it would be as humanistic agnostic progressive lukewarm sort of Muslim. "Almost Muslim" would be a new denomination I think.
