this was my first time sending package somewhere else than Poland

Not even noon on Ash Wednesday and Iâm already a bit lightheaded đ
wraith narwhal
I thought I'm the only one that has to participate in it
pearl fern
Hah, nope, youâre not alone
I wonât get to eat dinner until after Mass tonight
Which means sometime around 7:30 (19:30) probably, because the 5:30 (17:30) Mass will be packed (and Iâll get more of a smudge than a cross
Good news though, I finally took all my old palm leaves for the ashes
wraith narwhal
me and my family has a lot of old palms
even one of them is small, like for children
wraith narwhal
ah, well... who knows c:
pearl fern
Probably my bishop đ¤Ł
What I donât know is how to make them into crosses⌠I suck at crafts
Have a question about doctrine, history, dogma? I can have that conversation. Need arts and crafts? I can only follow directions
wraith narwhal
I always had this thing in my head about drinking holy water and that it possibly tastes disgusting
meanwhile, it's just water with little bit of salt
My mind is sometimes crazy :')
pearl fern
I think the bishops make it em masse yearly with the chrism and other oils :â) Iâve never been to see that, but Iâve been invited
Iâm lucky, I live fairly close to the cathedral
solid grove
... tf is ash Wednesday ?
wraith narwhal
...oh jeez, it's bit hard to explain in my vision
pearl fern
@wraith narwhal allow me :)
solid grove
oh god
pearl fern
Ash Wednesday is a day of fasting and penance that starts the Catholic liturgical season of Lent, the 40* days preceding Easter where we prepare ourselves for the greatest feast day of the year and the celebration of Jesusâ resurrection
*On the calendar it looks like 46, but Sundays are not counted during Lent because each Mass is a celebration of Easter, in laymenâs terms.
solid grove
could you use MORE laymen's terms, please ?
bc I don't know shit about catholic church
if it's not directly in the Bible, you can be pretty sure I have no idea what it is
And since 80% of the catholic church is based on things that have nothing to do with the Bible...
pearl fern
Okay, then ask more specific questions please
solid grove
what do you do on ash wednesday ?
pearl fern
Also, again I will refer you to the Catechism, which contains all the references to Scripture for our beliefs.
pearl fern
- Fasting, defined as no more than 1 whole meal and two smaller portions which together are less than a whole meal
- abstinence from meat, which continues on all Fridays of Lent (technically throughout the year but in America the Bishops have given a dispensation for the rest of the year)
solid grove
I only attended like 5 classes of catechism because my school made me do it, but when they forced me to recite Ave Maria (that I didn't even know existed until then) in front of a statue, my parents arranged a way to get me out of there since I go to church
pearl fern
- Mass, where we are marked with ashes to begin the journey through Lent, akin to the 40 yearsâ wandering and the 40 daysâ temptation of Jesus, where we improve ourselves by giving up bad behaviors or turning to good behaviors.
solid grove
And... what exactly does all that accomplishes ?...
pearl fern
To be a better Christian?
Self-denial is one of the oldest practices to become closer to Jesus
solid grove
why would stop eating, and being covered in ash make you a better christian ?...
pearl fern
Fasting is an ancient penance and devotional act, to master our bodies and think on our spiritual selves; the ashes symbolize mourning and solemnity. Being marked with the cross, we are admonished, âRepent and believe in the Gospelâ
solid grove
Yeah but didn't Jesus already died for that ?...
You're basically making a tradition saying that his sacrifice wasn't enough ? .-.
pearl fern
No, we make a tradition of emphasizing our spiritual journey, reflecting on our failures and relapses, and working to imitate Him more in the period leading up to the celebration of His sacrifice, so that we are ourselves spiritually ready for that
Honestly my favorite times of the year is Triduum (the three days before Easter Sunday, which is one long Mass) and Christmas, because the process to the celebration is so rewarding
solid grove
I know but really, you don't need all of that if you're already a good christian
you're supposed to reflect on your life every day
making it a tradition diminishes its total value
pearl fern
Firstly, we can all be better Christians. C.S. Lewis makes an argument in Mere Christianity thatâs summed up by a Catholic: âBe a saint, what else is there?â It isnât enough to be good, or decent, if you arenât perfect. Secondly, we live in time, therefore it is proper for us to teach, learn, and grow in time, which includes celebrations marked on the calendar, and celebrations require preparation and penance.
solid grove
but you can grow and better yourself everyday... and you should .-.
pearl fern
Tradition diminishes nothing, we emphasize our self-reflection in Lent. In Ordinary Time, we work on keeping our Lenten gains
solid grove
Did you see the movie Mother! ?
@pearl fern
If not, you should
Just telling you now, the whole second half is super violent
and a scene in the first half too
but you really should
pearl fern
I havenât, heard it was crap from a theological perspective, like the latest Noah and Moses movies
pearl fern
I donât mind weird, violent movies, but I take umbrage with Hollywoodâs mentally crippled religious yammerings. Like Stigmata. Or The Da Vinci Code.
solid grove
but the rest of the theological analysis they give is actually pretty fair
And... I mean...
They directly attack christians
So I don't think Christian reviews are really the most reliable source out there
not very objective
still, you should at least give it a shot
They criticize the bad aspects of religion, and when you think of it, it's actually a pretty fair representation of the extremes some can fall into
and the extremes some actually did fall into and against whom we are actually struggling right now .-.
pearl fern
Iâll watch it eventually, with a bowl of salt to take it with. Hollywood criticizing religion is the man with a beam in his eye elaborating on the speck in his brotherâs eye.
solid grove
Just don't get too attached to Jesus...
I think you can figure out why yourself
pearl fern
And one of the main issues is Hollywood perpetuating falsehoods about religion, like the âevil Inquisitionâ or the âevil Crusadersâ or the nefarious Opus Dei or evil Catholics hiding Gospels
pearl fern
Actually the Inquisition was considered fairer than the secular courts, and the number of acquittals dwarfs convictions
The Crusades were an act of justified war in response to 4 centuries of Islamic aggressions that culminated in Seljuk Turks attacking pilgrims in defiance of the peace Christians had with the Arabs
Opus Dei is a very good organization for the faith
solid grove
I don't think the thousands of rapes and innocents killed were justified...
pearl fern
Dan Brown is an idiot and a terrible writer whose characters have less substance than paper dolls
And other âgospelsâ were rejected on theological grounds, most because they are Gnostic
Actions by some Crusaders doesnât diminish the justness of the Crusades nor excuse the actions of the Muslims (Arabs and then the Turks)
solid grove
"some"
pearl fern
Youâre also ignoring the rules of war of the period
solid grove
like they were 3
And you're ignoring that they were supposed to be Christians .-.
I don't think that God approves rape
pearl fern
He doesnât, and itâs not excused, but the commonly accepted rules of war at the time were understood by all, and a city resisting siege knew the consequences of falling would be a lot of pissed off soldiers. Most of what happened after a successful siege is looting, which mainly was âWhat have you got? Okay, Iâll take that.â
solid grove
Yeah so you're basically saying that they didn't do anything wrong...
I'm pretty sure that the women of those cities had mostly nothing to do with the city resisting .-.
pearl fern
Iâm saying theyâre human too, and labeling the whole enterprise wrong because they werenât perfect is a dishonest assessment
pearl fern
Iâm sorry, were they perfect and I missed something?
solid grove
No...
pearl fern
Then an argument about the moral status of a mass action or an endeavor based on some conduct that isnât perfect is dishonest because it will always find them lacking
solid grove
But the way you say it, you make it sound like there were just small mistakes made by like 3 people total and anyway the victims deserved it
And THAT is dishonnest
pearl fern
Thatâs like saying the Allies were wrong in WWII because they werenât always civil to POWs or used racist propaganda against their enemies
I said that the rules of war, and especially sieges, were brutal and well known at the time, and that cities who resisted knew the stakes as much as the besiegers. I am not discounting nor apologizing for the brutality of ancient warfare. Iâm saying the modern assessment of the Crusades as religious zealotry and racist animosity is dishonest because it ignores the facts of the time and especially the aggressive expansion of Islam and its existential threat to Christian civilization at the time
solid grove
Just to clarify this...
You're saying that
the thousands of rapes made by Christians on innocent women that never asked for anything and probably didn't even want their city to resist
is "some conduct that isn't perfect"
I mean for God's sake, what do you call the Shoah, then ?
"an incident" ?
I'm fucking done
pearl fern
The Holocaust, like other Americans
solid grove
Don't play with words
pearl fern
I think itâs you who is engaging in a semantical play
I said the Crusades were acceptable under just war theory
I did not make apology for everything that happened. You want to paint it as âCrusaders are black hats because of Xâ without engaging the actual argument that the Crusades were justified
The only direction from there is essentially whataboutism, which isnât the argument I made
solid grove
Oh I get that the act of sending a crusade was justified
but what happened after that was horrible
pearl fern
Not everything was
pearl fern
And, more to the point, the âCrusaders are black hatsâ is the dishonest portrayal I brought up regarding Hollywood
solid grove
but you make it sound like almost nothing was
solid grove
I'm not saying that every crusaders did rape women
I'm saying that it happened, that it's horrifying, and that it's not as anecdotical as you try to make it sound
pearl fern
And I didnât say it wasnât wrong or that it was justified
pearl fern
I was pointing out that itâs not as germane to the question of the Crusades (particularly the first) themselves
solid grove
I knew that would happen

RED, that is how this server works, and if you don't want to follow some simple rules, leave. I'm pretty lax on my moderation, but I've had to hand out warnings to you several times.

Then make a server and invite others to lurk?

I once lost my front tooth when i fell asleep while holding a shovel i slept for a good 6 seconds

after that i got a fake tooth so yay.
sweet zodiac
@pearl fern oh god your jaw clenching when yawning hard is horrible
when that first happened to me i thought i dislocated something
it felt like i did too
that is if i'm thinking of the same thing you are
from then on i learned you can stop your jaw clenching during a really deep yawn by putting force on the bottom
pearl fern
@sweet zodiac It was inside my jaw, under my tongue
pearl fern
On the left side though, not the right
Usually itâs my neck that gets clenched and sore from a too strong yawn

I once hit my front tooth on windowsill
of course, tooth did crush a bit, and it hurts whenever I eat something sweet
but you can't much see it, due it was just more "flattened and sharpened"

I stopped drinking soda a long time ago, no regrets

Honey and maple syrup are so expensive compared to sugar

maple syrup is actually 10 times more expensive than gasoil XD
about 1,10$/L vs 10,56$/L

An African Island
solid grove
It's as much Africa as Corsica is France or Northern Ireland is UK
solid grove
Yeah
Anyway
I grew up there so I have basically no connection to occidental social standards
pearl fern
Ah okay
solid grove
which explains why I act weirdly sometimes
pearl fern
Well, many cartoonists have attempted to describe it, to varying degrees of success
Itâs a source of humor
solid grove
But this disconnection is pretty great because I have a more objective view of all this
And I basically base my social standards on common sense
which works most of the time......
most of the time
And it gets pretty hard to understand people that are deeply rooted in beliefs that just cycles in the same type of mindset, like religions or social minorities for exemple
But I guess you already saw that
I have nothing against the basics of religion because it's mostly a "don't be a dick" message
but it can get weird and extreme...
not gonna venture too close to that border, I wouldn't want to get banned...
pearl fern
Social structures though arenât necessarily common sensical, but rather traditional, so one would have to examine tradition to evaluate the results. For example, it seems odd to outsiders that people in more southern States eat pork chops for breakfast, but itâs born (borne?) out of a tradition based on the agrarian background and availability of pork compared to beef
Which really makes me want some smoked pork chops
solid grove
that's really anecdotical
pearl fern
We could also look at the dispute over whether Devonshire cream goes on top or underneath the jam on a scone. Thatâs a regional cultural difference and rivalry in England
solid grove
but traditions are (kinda) beliefs that cycle through the same type of mindsets
so as I said, I have some trouble understanding them
but what I understand is that traditions is part of a culture and history, and that people want to preserve that
Again, you're using pretty anecdotical examples that I personally don't care about...
just eat the damn thing already x)
(see ? common sense)
pearl fern
But as you noted, people like preserving culture and tradition, even when it seems odd to moderns
Besides, you have no idea how hard it is to find smoked pork chops in Illinois đ¤Łđ¤Łđ¤Ł
Like Ground Hog Day, kinda dumb but itâs fun to let a rodent prognosticate Spring
solid grove
wtf ?
pearl fern
February 2nd is Ground Hog Day đ
When we let a groundhog (aka woodchuck) decide when spring will start
solid grove
huh
pearl fern
I think itâs based on an old Indian legend
solid grove
I mean I guess animals know better than humans
pearl fern
He always sees his shadow
So we always get âsix more weeks of winterâ
I mean, itâs about 7 weeks between Ground Hog Day and the vernal equinox
And here where I live you can expect the seasons to actually change right around the equinox or solstice
Winter - almost exactly December 21 to March 21

The problem with OFF
is that the entire game is an UT Geno run
I felt so bad at the end that I started a new game and saved whenever I could on the previous save, so that nothing I had done to the world would have existed anymore

Darkest Dungeon what was made me sometimes angry
mostly bcs when one of your character dies, you can't get them, unless there is event where you can revive them (It has like 0.02% of appearing, or so I heard?)
but if you have a lot of good leveled characters? it sucks which to chose, when you have option to pick one of the three that were picked randomly from the graveyard
plus the stress thing... gosh, that was pain when you wish they were heroic for that one moment
but no, they become paranoic and other stuff, that you need to bear with

but for exemple... Steven Universe...
That's VERY VERY VERY UNrepresentative of actual LGBT population

may I ask how German sounds to non German speakers?
Appearantly we sound very aggressiveđ
wraith narwhal
I'm learning German at school, idk if it's gonna be good enough
It is hard language, not as in hard to learn but as it has hard pronounced words
it can sound aggressive sometimes, but most of the cases I heard - it isn't
old lance
Well, I'm going to explain Brazil's stereotype of Germany, basically, Brazilians think that you talk in a speech (as Hitler did) is you speak German, logically, not everyone thinks, but when they ask to imitate a German, they do it
quiet dew
haha I've been told that our words are unneccessary long and hard to pronounce xD
solid grove
Let's just say that whenever I hear a German guy shouting, the only thing I can hear is Nazi propaganda .-.
quiet dew
Omg tbh if we would all talk like Hitler on a speech we would sound ridiculousđ
Well I mean I am not German, but Austrian, but we do share the same language, so we sound like Nazi propaganda, too, probablyđ đ

here, the biggest problem is the pronunciation, the majority of Americans who come here have a terrible pronunciation

yeah, but that's harder, especially when you're not native
quiet dew
in Austria, especially Vienna, we have a lot of young refugees who mostly struggle with German grammar
However they learn very quick and I am quite impressed how fast they adapt to our culture and language
solid grove
No, I was talking about native French, that can't differentiate "ça" and "sa", and think "ca" exist...
just fucking...
"ca" isn't even pronounced like the other two ! It's "ka" ! And it's not even a word !
old lance
Another problem is that in Brazil there are many Bad Words, after the regional changes are huge
quiet dew
Ah I see
We do have some people who use the word "wo" way too much and in a wrong way, especially when written down
And sometimes we forget to add a verb when talking, so eg. we say "Kann ich das Buch" (can I the book) instead of "Kann ich das Buch haben" (can I have the book)
Though it's worse in english because the verb is right in the middle of the sentence xD
solid grove
x)
but I think
the worst part of French
is that not only are there homophones
there are homophones
that are also homo... uh...
they're written the same
old lance
here we have problems with the word "E", it would be a substitute for the word "and" let's say, when someone speaks for example: eu gosto desse livro e eu amei ele e etc (i like that book and i love it and etc ...)
solid grove
like for exemple the word "pièce"
it has like... 4 meanings
1 writing
and 1 pronunciation

an ordinary Brazilian uses it a lot, but the Americans do not use it, it's half-robotic

I call that support, personally
toxic sedge
oh yeah those people are annoying i mean i understand if they didn't kill the animal for food

the real paradox is vegans and carnists kill roughly the same number of animals as long as they don't specifically eat organic

because 3 cows don't count for much when you take into consideration the litteral billions of insects

@solid grove I will day that in my experience vegans have been more than a little pushy about their moral superiority. I think their philosophy is entirely incoherent but I donât care if they want to unrealistically limit their diets. More honey and pork for me.
Also Iâm pretty sure all felines are obligate carnivores so how one could healthily be âveganâ seems totally contradictory to that
toxic sedge
OOF
pearl fern
I love stories with unreliable narrators/protagonists
solid grove
Technically speaking, any and every animal on this planet could go vegan and survive without any health issues, with the right arrangement of peas, vegetables and so on
But it's just less trouble to eat meat, because you need a serious medical follow to avoid any lacking of nutriment in your food
pearl fern
Iâm pretty sure âobligateâ means they must consume animal protein
Canines are much more flexible
solid grove
animal proteins and vegetable proteins are exactly the same
where do you think herbivores take them from ? x)
pearl fern
And humans, while true omnivores, have never eaten vegan diets naturally. The idea is explicitly unnatural.
Hello, Iâm a chemist, that statement is nonsense
Animal protein is quite different from plant protein

I'm not saying I'm an expert
I'm not even vegetarian myself
I'm just talking about the stuff I know
pearl fern
Iâm not a vegetarian, I still know why veganism is morally and scientifically obtuse
Hell some vegan tried to put his dog on a plant diet and nearly killed her of malnutrition
solid grove
well, forcing veganism to animals is really absurd
but humans CAN go vegan, and don't HAVE TO eat meat anymore, with modern technology and all this shit
so really, I don't see your moral stand on this
pearl fern
I would argue that veganism is ecologically irresponsible because itâs not a viable diet of locally sourced foods for anyone in temperate climes.
Also, animals lack rights because they have no responsibilities, and their moral weight is a purely human invention.
The lion doesnât consider the wishes of the antelope.
solid grove
of course, we're talking about veganism for people that have access to the stuff needed to go vegan...
yeah, poor countries like Madagascar are kinda forced to kill zebus in the middle of the street to survive, and nobody is forcing them .-.
but if you can reliably find food from either your country or importation that can make up a vegan menu, then there is nothing holding you back from doing it other than your beliefs
pearl fern
Iâm talking about vegans in Chicago: one cannot survive on food that grows in a 200mi radius, so food must be imported. Growing food for export across thousands of miles for weeks isnât a better substitute for slaughtering local livestock.
pearl fern
Mexico is expending enormous resources to grow avocados for Americans. Itâs a severe problem in the YucatĂĄn.
Strawberries and other fruits arenât ripened on their plants, theyâre ripened by gas artificially - and lack the same nutritional value.

Cows alone produce more gaz in the atmosphere than every single car, truck, boat and plane in the entire world combined .-.
(not cows INDIVIDUALLY, of course)
pearl fern
Demand for out-of-season produce, especially with a majority vegan populace, is inarguably irresponsible.
The argument against cattle is vacuous: the same number of buffalo were in North America in the 1850âs and fulfill the same niche: cattle arenât killing us. Should we replace our cattle with buffalo? Probably.
But the argument against livestock is absurd.
solid grove
and just having thousands of cows in hangars is more destructive for the environment than having off-season artificially ripped boat-imported strawberries .-.
pearl fern
Theyâre in there for a few weeks.
CAFOs are their own problem, but not a justification for eliminating our food source.
Thatâs like saying planes emit CO2, ergo ban flying except by blimp.
solid grove
it's not the hangar that is the problem, it's the cows themselves
and no, they DEFINITELY AREN'T
not for mass-producing farms that give 0 shit about the living meat's comfort
pearl fern
Methane is an insignificant factor of the atmosphere; so is CO2. Our climate isnât changing because of cattle or engines.
Anyone who claims itâs us is selling you seafront property in Kansas.
pearl fern
Probably natural cycles from the Sun and our own planetary transit. We have been studying our climate for an insignificant amount of time compared to its timescale, with previous data being useful provided the assumptions about it are correct, and thereâs too many assumptions.
The commonality of the eco-panic is massive government control and an anti-human stymying of human activity as though we are natureâs slaves and not her rightful master.
You want to sage African lives? Give them diesel electricity plants.
toxic sedge
@solid grove Suddenly disappearing? Shady..
pearl fern
Want to make America cleaner? Build nuclear plants.
solid grove
yes, but methane and CO2 clearly doesn't help .-.
And we are neither nature's slave or master
we're part of it, part of a cycle
except we take way more than we should, and it leads to a break in this cycle, creating mass destruction of our planet
pearl fern
I warrant they arenât significant.
The planetâs temperature seems more dependent on solar cycles; the CO2 argument ignores evidence of accelerated plant growth in the presence of increased CO2. CO2 is far less of a greenhouse gas than water vapor, which variable daily. And the temp readings have been shown unreliable anyway. The âsuper hotâ years werenât significantly hotter, and there havenât been more hurricanes or storms or anything. The sea levels may be rising but it takes so long for that to happen that we will react appropriately.
The major fallacy of environmentalism is the assumption that the planet is a steady-state, static system. It isnât, and we donât know its drivers. This planet has been changing around us the whole time, and we only just realized. Panicking about it isnât productive.
solid grove
I you actually look at temperatures throughout the year recorded over decades, you clearly see that it rises overall .-.
pearl fern
I just pointed out that those data are unreliable. The ocean temp data was discovered to have been improperly collected by shipsâ crews, and the land-based thermometers are a joke. Many are in asphalt parking lots, in direct sun, in inappropriate places which give much higher than actual readings.
toxic sedge

pearl fern
I literally just explained why and you send a graph, not a counterargument of how the data is reliably collected.
So, with that, Iâm done. If you are intractable, I have things to do.

I think NASA is smarter than to put their thermometers directly under the sun, over hot concrete...
