Dharma Curious

Lmao. That stands for leaded and regular. Sheesh.

Do you remember which episode? I loved sliders. I’m up for an episode that’ll make me depressed about my present!

Honestly, that’s fucking genius. They should do murals on elevators doors that change as they open

They said scifi, not fantasy :p

That’s not necessarily true for all religions. In Hinduism and Buddhism, for instance, it’s fully understood that a lay understanding of the faith is not the same as what a monk would have. Seeking enlightenment is a different path from the life of a householder. In the same vein, Christian mysticism, kaballah, Sufism all have that same tendency towards further spiritual study and the path of an aesthetic.

The problem is with people listening to fucked up preachers and then deciding they have all the information they’ll ever need. The problem is with Christians, not Christianity. The religious, not the religion. The religion itself is a neutral thing, just about regardless of the religion we’re talking about. It’s the people that make it what it is, and those people are varied. Religions are internally diverse, by their nature.

I’ll look for it tonight. Reply to this at some point, if you don’t mind. It’ll remind me to post it for you. Lol

Oh that’s kinda cool in its own right. Two birds and all

If you want, I made a little rule sheet designed to printed out in tarot card size to go with the deck. It’s pretty minimal, but includes a nice formula for the calculator so you don’t have to actually do any math when tabulating scores.

Also, pro-tip: only the takers points matter. You don’t have to calculate the scores of everyone at the table, as defenders points are literally worthless. The only thing that matters is if the taker makes their contract.

Can you explain how to do this? I’d make the switch, honestly. Not a super techy person, but I’m willing to learn if it means a Linux phone.

Provided I don’t get stuck in a camp before then, I’m about to start nursing school. Once I have a BSN I’m getting my ass to a blue state. In the meantime it’s SC and TX D:

It’s so worth getting into it you’ve got people to play with. Online play is a thing, too, but the rules are complicated enough that I had to play with physical cards a few times to really get it. I also slightly updated the rules on it and created a formula for the calculator to make it easier for folks. I didn’t so much change the rules for our home game, but updated the scoring. Normal french tarot using half point that made the math difficult for some people, so I moved the decimal and 4.5 became 45, shit like that

Don’t forget the very well light, 4k quality picture of their anus that they do not properly clean

There is a movement to bring back the thorn. It’s actually pretty popular among English reformists. Personally, I’m in favor, but I generally don’t use it outside of certain communities, or when joking or making a point. Using it ‘in the wild’ is normally an attempt at normalizing it’s use. Personally, I’m on board, just not brave enough to be the odd one out. Especially since I’m also in favor of eth, eng, and interrobang (which I do use in the wild.). It’d make my writing too difficult for others to read it I included all of those in a normal post.

Honestly, at this point, I think when is the more accurate term. Balkanization is coming, I’m pretty sure

Thanks, friend. :)

Hit me up on my main account if you see it floating around

Hey Ya

God, I wish. If I could do something like that I’d spend my days volunteering with organizations like food not bombs and local mutual aid orgs. I’d probably still have roommates, even. I don’t need much. I’m happy with a bedroom of my own, the rest of the house can be shared space. I just want to do mutual aid work and not have to worry about being evicted or starving :(

Said it before and I’ll say it again: if Cascadia ever looks like it’s gonna become a thing I’ll drive myself there and be homeless rather than live in the US with a weakened and even more right wing Senate and house.

We do occasionally see a small surcharge in the US when using a card, but that’s regardless of method (swipe, insert, or tap). Very small businesses will often charge 1-5% for any debit or credit purchase, and cash price is the listed price. But again, that’s not tap specific

When all else fails the weather can always be blamed. Glorious little excuse for some bellyaching. Haha.

Glad to know things are otherwise good! I’m doing mostly okay. Lot of big life things happening recently, and I’m reeling a bit, so just trying to figure things out.
