North american here: I love Donald Duck. Lol. My mom used to a spot on Donald Duck voice to entertain us as kids. Told us he jumped out of the TV once and lived in her belly.

Sweet! Always love making new esoterically minded friends. My main is @dharmacurious@slrpnk.net I’ll message you from there
Mhmm, yup. We’re a denomination founded around the “Jesus fish.” During the reign of Henry the 8th there was a lot of controversy, because Catholics didn’t eat meat on Friday, and Henry wanted to murder his wife. But the pope said that wasn’t cool, because Henry wanted to do it on a Friday (so he could take the weekend to recover, y’know?), and the pope said that that fell under the whole no meat on Friday thing, since once someone is dead, they’re more meat-like, and Henry said that he wasn’t going to eat her, but the pope was like “still not cool, bro, do it on a Thursday” and Henry didn’t take kindly to bring called bro by a dude in a dress, so he founded the church of England (then called the Church in England), and he got to murder his wives, but in exchange for not crusading against England for doing this, Henry agreed to the popes compromise that they could murder wives on Friday, so long as they also ate fish.
Well, when the US was founded, we really took that whole fish thing and ran with it. Started putting little Jesus fish bumper stickers on our carriages, branding them on our horses, the whole shebang. By the time the US split from England, though, there were no bishops left that would ordain American clergy, so we went to the Scottish, and they ordained us a few starter bishops to get us through the lean times, but by then there were enough disagreements between us as the CoE that we decided to just go ahead and change the name, and now we exclusively eat fish, and we’re called Episcopalians.
Can we be friends? My best friend is also a former Baptist preacher who’s now a daoist/nondualist. I’m a nondualist who’s interested in daoism, and super interested in gnosticism (and occasionally an Episcopalian, especially on holidays ;) )
I would very much so like to know, please
I’m sorry your kids are lame, but the fact that you love dead like me and your username makes me really, really want to hang out with you
Couldn’t students just generate a paper with ChatGPT, open two windows wide by side and then type it out in a word document?
I’m a tech moron, but I’ve been on Linux of and on since like 07ish. Full time since 2015ish. Started with Ubuntu way back when, and I’ve jumped around from distro to distro. I’ve tried Manjaro, mint, opensuse… God, I can’t even tell you what else. I once installed that Miley Cyrus Linux and ran it for like a week as a gag. But from 2015 onward when I went full time I’ve basically just been in Fedora (including silverblue and Bazzite). I’ve got Ubuntu running on a mini PC I’m using to set up a server for jellyfin and a few other things. But as far as my daily driver goes, it’s almost always fedora. I just fucking love it.
But bear in mind here, I’m a pretty surface level user, so what I love is actually Gnome. Lol
Personally I was only 14-16 for like 5 years at most
They said scifi, not fantasy :p
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
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.
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
Thanks, friend. :)
Hit me up on my main account if you see it floating around
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 :(
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.
My surname has 14 characters. My full name has 23. Forms suck.
She was pretty fucking awesome.
