So many things. But then other things happened and undone those QoL changes.

• removed my family from my life
• changed career path
• learned a dance
• play dnd
• discover polyamory
• learn to draw/paint …

Germany: 2000€ would be someone working part-time or a bad job. It might be enough to scrape by. But not comfortable, depending on whether you want to live in a city. In a small town, you might be fine

I gotta say thanks for that question. It lead me down a rabbit hole of exploring the laws and rules of nudity. It’s quite interesting

I’m not sure about that part. If it’s in Hebrew, greek or Aramaic in the original. The Hebrew name for the Torah-God is based upon breathing, something very human and corporeal. The verse I’m referencing is exodus 3:13-14 I’m not familiar what translation you would use in (modern) Hebrew. A translation called “compete Jewish bible” says: “ehyeh Asher Ehyeh”

No it’s not blasphemy. It’s a form of orthodoxy. “God made man in his image”, Jesus is “son of man”, and “the way and the life”. It’s pretty much there in the text that the bible in parts is just a set of instructions and examples to follow. So, yes. God stands for us. At least as a part of us. (God is portrayed as saying “I am”, meaning when you say “I” you say “god”.) god is the part of humans that creates. But we are both creators and creatures.

I’m not in a religion or anything. Just autistic with the bible as a hyperfocus, so take that caveat

Excuse me but bottom left ist just cucumber

If you’ve been clear and direct about your boundaries and your family keeps breaking them, then it’s time to put up walls. I’ve cut out my family for years until I and they were ready to talk

DM’ing my first DnD one-shot. I really didn’t know how it would work out, if it would even happen (people are unreliable sometimes), or if I was putting way too much work into it.

But we all had such a blast and we already have the next two sessions scheduled. And my friendship with my colleagues is blossoming from it and it gives me such a feeling of belonging and being appreciated.

Being autistic and socially awkward, this is a really big step

Very nice! I hope y’all have fun

Yeah sounds good. Seems short to me :D What are you playing?

I just had my first one-shot DnD where I DM’ed for colleagues. We played a setting that I bought at a con recently. It’s about Italian renaissance, so that’s my hyperfocus now. Researching about venice, Florence, davinci, art, society… It’s been really fun to play (even though we went way too long with about 8 hours T_T)

Now I also started researching more about DM’ing in general, tricks and tipps. I hope I don’t do too much or work in the wrong direction.

All the action roguelikes seem to fit

Ah I think we watched the same Hank Green video xD

Yes. I understand that sentiment. Fuck and disown all those people. But please don’t stop recycling. It still makes sense.

I kinda disagree. I’d even say that’s the main thing that kids are supposed to learn especially in elementary school. Social skills and behaviour are the things that are great to teach in groups. Not so great at home with 1-3 kids

What’s your experience with groups of children? You can show stuff. But repetition and practice are not a great thing in a school setting. That needs to happen outside of school. I’ve worked with far over thousand kids and worked in elementary schools for over 10 years now. Yes you can “teach” the things. But the kids need time and space for their own pace at repeating and practicing them

So many daily small thzate kinda impossible to teach a whole class, but are easy to teach a single child (source: I work in a school):

• reading the clock. May sound weird, but some kids get it really early and quickly, some take more time. Thus pretty frustrating to teach the whole class
• tying shoes (I know too many kids with 8 or 9 years old who can’t tie a knot, shoes are a good starter)
• generally small motor skills (crafts, crochet, weaving, whatever you want…)

And the one thing that school cannot teach and is also very difficult for parents: questioning authority

Well that kinda takes the wind outta my sails for completing the game. I’m kinda stuck at the forge of the giants. And I’m so late that there’s hardly ever coop signs around

I keep thinking about a world without money in it. Some form of trade of goods and services. Or a world without rent with housing as a socially distributed good according to needs. Or both. If we didn’t have rent (or mortgage) to worry about, everything could be extremely better. Also, obviously, no wealth accumulation, no inheritance, free basic income (if we do need something like money)

I see more and more people really stick to bluesky. People who had bigger twitter accounts have been focussing more on BS and deleting or hibernating their twitter. So I see the opposite of what you say.
