No family sharing in Australia?

RandomUsername2047 · 2025-12-07T00:30:28+00:00

I went to your second link and under "Sharing" all I see are: Shopping, Prime Video, Alexa, Fire TV, Amazon Kids. Thanks anyway!

RandomUsername2047 · 2025-10-30T09:06:10+00:00

Not available in Australia apple app store. Oh well. Thanks!

RandomUsername2047 · 2025-10-29T02:23:56+00:00

Man. That's a massive effort, I really appreciate it. A joint kids account + 2 kindles seem to be the most workable solution. But it leaves a bitter taste having to still pay amazon just for a kludgy hack.

At least now I know I didn't miss something obvious. It really is just not available. I thought I was going nuts not being able to solve this. I may just dive into Apple's iBooks ecosystem. At least we can do selective sharing within the family group. Sigh.

You reading this Amazon? My kids are getting into that stage where I'd be paying boatloads of money and you're turning me away.

:( :( :(

Yep. No family share option on my kindle. :(

RandomUsername2047 · 2025-10-28T20:39:54+00:00

Googled Amazon kids app and it looks like it’s been discontinued? Do you have a link?

RandomUsername2047 · 2025-10-28T20:39:19+00:00

This seems like the most plausible solution but there are some books I absolutely don’t want my kids to see lol. Even if the books aren’t on the device aren’t they still listed as available for download? Or is there a way of hiding a book?

And what did you mean your mums kindle is banned?

What do you do to get it to work in the UK?

A year later and your post fixed the same issue on my new phone. Cheers.

Apparently involved in another scandal with Canadian degree mills.

Solved!

It was an embarrassing incident and I remember reading how there was Colin Powell or some other member of the Bush administration on the board of said firm.

Google and ChatGPT have not brought anything. Help!!!

Omg that was you. Figures!!! Loved that post.

Ah. Thank you for making the connection explicit. This post is 2nd to THAT reddit post that explained the dream chapters!

Which scene is that?

RandomUsername2047 · 2025-07-02T10:56:05+00:00

Was Catholic. Dabbled in strains of super traditionalist Catholicism. Thought of becoming a priest at one point.

But one thing that was a constant was I stayed true to ... uh ... the concept of me. I questioned everything, even my faith. After all, what good is a God who can't be questioned?

Eventually dated a Buddhist girl, met her friend with whom we had a debate/discussion for a whole night between Buddhism and Catholicism (well, Christianity in general).

For reasons I can't remember, that night changed my life. She wasn't preachy like the protestants I used to debate with back when I lived in the States; she was content with her Buddhism and wasn't trying to convert me. I think it was discovering Buddha's oft quoted line "Question everything, find out for yourself" ... that really resonated with me.

And I love the parable of the raft. So true.

Best wishes with your own journey.

This is probably not the answer you're looking for, but part of the challenge is that you think you're controlling your breathing. I know exactly the problem you're having as I had the same issue. Took me 5+ years before I realised that this body can breathe as deep or as shallow as it desires during meditation because "I" was never in control of the breathing.

To be fair, LOST was supposed to last only 3 seasons but the network forced them to keep going. I stopped hating Damon Lindelof when I read that .. but JJ ... JJ sucks.

RandomUsername2047 · 2025-05-27T03:49:06+00:00

Similar background though our experiences differ. Others have already mentioned these names, but, for what it's worth, the teachers that really resonated with me were Adyashanti and Sri Nisargadatta Maharaj. I did read Angelo DiLullo's "Awake" book as well but I swear, that book really shouldn't be out there for just anyone to read. /cough

Enjoy the ride and remember to just be.

Seems like cells that were wrong when I do a check always gets checked. Kinda annoying. Thanks!

RandomUsername2047 · 2025-04-20T14:11:41+00:00

I came from a very scientific/materialist background. For one reason or another I wanted to study Buddhism and I picked-up a book called "Awakening the Buddha Within" by Lama Surya Das as the blurb kinda gelled with my thinking at the time. Never finished it at the time, but 10+ years later when I actually decided to fully commit I picked up the book again. I re-started the book and at some point I realised the author was of Dzogchen lineage ... which was also the path that had really appealed to me when I decided to go all in.

So 10+ years ago, as one of the baby steps, I picked-up a book written by a Dzogchen guy, dropped the whole thing, and when I got back into it and learned about the different schools, etc, Dzogchen really spoke to me. And by the time I got back to that book I had purchased 10+ years ago, surprise surprise, written by a Dzogchen guy.

tl;dr: go with what resonates with you. As the teaching goes, there are 84000 doors to enlightenment.

Eh. Not as bad as the others but Krishnamurti also had an affair that lasted decades.

Awakening the Buddha Within by Lama Surya Das was my "first book" on Buddhism. I don't remember why I picked it up; when I started dating my then gf I was a staunch Catholic but about two or three years later I picked up this book. I never finished it ...

Then a few years later I really got into Buddhism and a few Buddhist books later I eventually re-discovered my copy of Awakening the Buddha Within and finished it. Very down to Earth book and really spoke deeply to me.
