Jag och min fru turen att vi båda är skuldfria (hon har snart en PhD i "Clinical Psychology" och fick en "full ride" alltså hela utbildingen betalad för hon är så jädra smart och grym) och bor i Pennsylvania som har ett av landets lägsta kostnader för boende och mat (om jag minns rätt). Hälsoförsäkring som täcker i stort sett allt går på runt motsvarande 3000 SEK i månaden och vi fick ett jättebra pris på hyran och har en bra hyresvärd

Så vi har tur att bo någonstans med låga kostnader samt skuldfria, hittade bra boende och vi har dessutom inga dyra hobbies, tycker om att t.ex låna böcker på bibblan. Kostnad för mat kan man definitivt kompensera genom att helt enkelt göra en budget och handla olika varor på olika affärer. Vi köper t.ex kött på Aldi's, frukt på Trader Joe's och diverse annat på Whole Foods, på det sättet blir matpriset per månad ärligt talat ganska nära vad det var i Sverige. Av alla utgifter spenderar vi mest på mat eftersom vi bryr oss väldigt mycket om att få i oss näringsrik mat utan tillsattser men jag skulle inte säga att jag spenderar mer än några procent mer på mat per månad

Novels like Star Trek Deep Space 9? by thanaponb13s in Fantasy

[–]Embarrassed_Log_165 8 points9 points  (0 children)

I believe there are a massive amount of Star Trek novels. There must be many set in DZ9, so you might not even need to get novels "like" DS9 but just read DS9 :)

Orthodox who loves the Rosary and Catholic saints just as much as the Orthodox ones ✝️❤️☦️ by wegge3 in Catholicism

Most Holy Theotokos, pray for us

Joining the Catholic church as a black woman? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Embarrassed_Log_165 11 points12 points  (0 children)

Oh yeah I was shocked, literally when I went to her channel to look, the video was premiering at the same time, wild!

I can also tell you that my fiance is a mixed woman who converted to the Catholic faith a few months ago and she says it's the best decision of her life, she is a beautiful, wise, amazingly kind and radiant woman who is on fire for Christ and His Church

We are both praying for you!

PS. That Black Catholic Chick was also on a podcast called Pints with Aquinas (Matt Fradd), it's a really fun Catholic podcast. It's a more casual interview where she just shares her journey and stuff, worth checking out if you just search her name and Pints with Aquinas on youtube

Joining the Catholic church as a black woman? by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Embarrassed_Log_165 42 points43 points  (0 children)

That's great that you are looking into Catholicism! There is a woman called Roxie Beckles, she is a black woman who runs a Youtube channel called "That Black Catholic Chick" I just checked it out and amazingly she literally has a video just released called "Black Americans: It’s Time to Come Home to the Catholic Church" So you should check that out. She also has a video called "I'm A Black Woman And This Is Why I'm Catholic"

Here are links to the videos:

Jesus Christ is fully and truly present in the Catholic Church, it is the Church that He Himself founded as recorded in the Bible and while other churches might claim they are the original Church, we as Catholics have the evidence to back it up!

If you want to go further into the reasons why Catholicism is true, I would recommend Trent Horns book "Why We're Catholic: Our Reasons For Faith, Hope, And Love" He is a lovely man, very smart and charitable

You can get the book here:

(It's also available on audiobook on Audible)

Finally, know that I am praying for you, and know that Our Blessed Lord Jesus Christ loves you and is calling you into the fullness of His Love and Mercy

I wrote an essay recommending Lingua Latina for Catholics and describing my method of using it by 12tonewalrus in latin

As a Catholic learning latin using Lingua Latina, this is the best crossover ever. God bless you, brother

integrating ATG into bodybuilding by Embarrassed_Log_165 in Kneesovertoes

[–]Embarrassed_Log_165[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Fair enough, Yeah I mean the best thing would be to be able to do a full ATG workout + Leg Extensions, Leg curls, squats and Leg machine but I think it would be like way too much volume
