I've just arrived here from Malibu (if you know what I mean), and I gotta say there's a lot of real reactionaries over there.

I went to the Lemmy Community Browser and found there was nothing related to Dudeism so you know how nature abhors a void; action had to be taken.

So here I am, joined up here on Lemmy.world and the void is no more.

Hope ya all enjoy this little oasis, this home-away-from home if you will. We can sit here and discuss the nature of Donny, is the Dude more calm than Walter, and if so...

Well there I go rambling again. Enjoy your stay.

Hope you find yourself abiding, taking it easy, and keeping your mind limber.

It's not really a haiku because I forgot I was doing that, but I liked how it turned out.

“So the Stranger controls without authority, And teaches without cuss words. He lets all things take ’er easy, Watches the semifinals, but does not interfere, Drinks sarsaparilla without seeking something stronger, And takes comfort where he can.”

Happy InDudependence day dudes. While Americans observe this day to celebrate their victory over their British overlords, Dudeists use this holiday to affirm their psychological independence from any powers-that-be. Slavishly following any cause, flag or ideology (including that of Dudeism) is dangerous and hampers personal growth. Our indudependence brings us together.

Since I'm still new to Federation, I'm looking at different places - Lemmy.world was my first landing place, but I'm checking out kbin.social and this microblog feature.

Always good to try new stuff. Just like sticking to a strict drug regimen - keeps my mind limber.

“He who doesn’t remember much from college, Learns to live on his allowance.

He who digs Dudeism deeply,

Does not become a fucking fascist.

Dudeists follow 2500 years of beautiful tradition,

Pooling resources, flowing far, freeing spirits.
 

Cultivate love in the true sense of the word, 

And you won’t need to scam anyone here.

Care about the rug in your residence, 

And it will tie everything together.

Create camaraderie among the bowling team, 

And you’ll enter the next round robin.

Fit right in to your time and place, 

And you’ll be in a unique position.

 
Therefore:
Know a residence by its renter,
Know a bowler by its team,
Know a team by its league,
Know a league by its lanes,
Know the lanes by its location,
Know a location by loving it, in the true sense of the word.
 
How can I enter a world of no-pain?
By loving the world,
Even when it’s full of goddamn morons.”

Perhaps he was not a Dudeist in total, but this passage calls to me as a way to describe abiding.

Knowing you're gonna run into some reactionaries when you head out into the world and steel yourself to abide; pretty good advice I think.
