2 questions about events:

its gone from my friendica account but it still show up when i look at my profile from a mastodon account.
how can i delete it completely?
2 can i attach a pic to an event? (instead of my profile pic). again viewed from a mastodon account
If you live in the South of the UK, come and say Hi! at the free Castle Cameras Spring Shoot on Tuesday near Wimborne. There will be a full program of events including a presentation and demo by yours truly.
Its getting late here in Japan, but I will do a quick write-up of my impressions of this live-stream tomorrow. This is just too good to miss. #rogally#hardware#event
"if you want the old school experience, you can run at 30 FPS and that will save even more power, while I dont recommend it"
then why are you even talking about it? #rogally#hardware#event
"I can play Dead Cells at 120 FPS but I turn it down to 60 FPS to save battery life" sounds like battery life is going to be a problem if they have to talk so much about it #rogally#hardware#event
"if you want to maximize your battery life, you better stream your games" (wink at Microsoft game pass)
I guess they want it to be a streaming device to make up for the poor battery life? That's one strategy #rogally#hardware#event
"A lot of games run really well at 1080p but I use FSR anyway because it gives a nice anti-aliasing effect" LOLLOLOLOLLOL This stuff is out of this world #rogally#hardware#event
So I am a week into my #Zizek#Lacan#Hegel studies, through Zizek's lens. All good. I think Zizek's #philosophy of looking at Hegel through the Lacanian lens is seductive. That said, where I find the lens of Zizek lacking, and I now wish he'd not talk about these 2(3) things any more are:
I was a serious #catholic half my life, seminarian for minute, and an ordained deacon, still, even after I confessed my #atheism. So I get what he is saying. My atheism has never felt the same as #Dawkins or #Hitchens, whom we adore, and Zizek sneers. Slipping through the profound safety net religion and a transcendent, all powerful, personal god into the #existentialism of nothing was terrifying, it was my first experience of the "#real." This is it. This is all there is. The problem is it appears Zizek commits the #fallacy of #reification (if we understand it correctly). Clearly he knows it is #fiction, even if profound from a #psychoanalytic Hegelian #CriticalAnalysis, we get it we really do, but it is not real. The #event is real, and the fiction caused the event, but the fiction is still fiction. There is no God, IOP, that became an atheist. The #story Zizek emphasizes is powerful, the changing of the cosmos when #Jesus on the cross questions Gods love. Good story and that is all. Some RCC positions from recent popes: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PlBZy_iu0m8 and https://www.romereports.com/en/2021/09/14/full-homily-of-pope-francis-at/
So please, Zizek, can I say stay in your lane where you are brilliant, please.
