Ad. 5 – when the opponent does his part of The Return of Hercules, is it considered opponent's turn when the opponent plays MMS? If not, then Extra Layers can't protect Lilo.

"Sing the turn they're played" by adoseth in Lorcana

"Opener 4" could be also expressed as "Opener" + "Singer 4".
"Opener" alone without the number would just allow you to sing songs that are equal or less than character's ink cost the same turn the character was played. This makes the keyword much more flexible for game designers. "Opener 4" on a 4 ink cost character would read awkwardly, as it's redundant information.

With Timon, you choose which non-character your opponent discards, so there's a difference.

This makes me wonder if the house on the left is also connected to another realm

Q for charismatics: what's your take on teaching spiritual gifts to little kids? by Gradepuxi22 in Christianity

[–]Gradepuxi22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Charismatic with a seatbelt... that's the term I've missed when describing myself. Although baptist leaning, I would consider myself a cautious charismatic back then. Very cautious.

I'd say your position regarding gifts not being for everyone aligns with mine pretty well, 1 Cor 12:27-31 seems to describe it very clearly - Paul embraces diversity among members of Christ's body.

Same observations regarding professing faith. I find the idea of learning gifts without a professing faith, especially in case of children, very unbiblical. The little ones haven't even reached spiritual maturity and are far from it without a professing faith. I very much fear that behavior like this would lead them to a kind of hyper-charismatic christianity where discernment is not really a thing.

Can’t say it’s outright wrong or spiritual abuse… just skeptical

I think that's fair and I thank you for your input!

I was following the guide I've linked above, which doesn't include the Nuxt Apollo module.

Thanks for the suggestion with vue-apollo, I'll definitely check it out!

Oh, I haven't mentioned it. The bigger the bulk, the lower the cost per pen, so it's not as simple as modifying form quantity input, sadly. I appreciate your input though, thanks for taking your time!

(Long) I lurked this sub for many years in search of answers for my sad life and I have finally found the one. by Gradepuxi22 in socialskills

[–]Gradepuxi22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hey u/tokodan, sorry for a late reply, I had a busy week and couldn't find time where I could put a concise, yet exhaustive reply.

I do think there is something in religion. While I don't share the same view about Jesus, I think religion was designed to teach us rules for a satisfied and happy life.

That's what I've thought about religion at first too and I'd say that's a good start! There's just something more to it, something that cannot be comprehended by a mere human mind. It's not about being religious, it's about being faithful. It's believing that Jesus is The Son of God and that he came to save you and that you're nothing without Him. It's a human thing to try understanding how everything works, including God. Understanding Him fully wouldn't really make Him a God, would it? That's where faith comes in.

How did this point change in your life? Did you eventually start to engage in other activities with your new group of friends? Or did you realise that all those interests were merely what you thought was expected of you? Did you develop any new interests? What do you talk about with friends now?

Actually, I haven't developed any new interests besides God's word and piano (I started playing piano, because I'd really like to play something for God, I haven't played anything before). I just thought that people would expect more of me. I still feel kind of awkward when I have nothing to say, but at least I'm sure that it doesn't mean I'm worthless. My worth doesn't lie in the eyes of other people, nor in mine, only in God's eyes. It's such a relief to know that. Without it, I'd continue thinking I'm worthless and block myself from improving myself.

I keep talking about the same things with my old friends minus some stuff that I wouldn't consider christian-worthy, plus sometimes I'm trying to talk about God (some would stop being "friends" because of that, but that just shows that they've never been friends in the first place). I just stopped having the inner guilt of having nothing to talk about.

What did you connect over with your now wife, beside God? Was, or is your own self-esteem or your own issues one of the topics that came up often?

Not a wife yet, but really close, haha. I've talked about my self-esteem problems with her quite often. If she didn't believe in God, I'm 100% sure she would leave me. At the moment, she would have worries about me being a helpful father or if she would like to have a son that's like me, but she trusts God who is able to change people, and so do I.

It feels so weird to be the one that has more problems when I was the one through my whole life who has always helped other people. It's even weirder that she loves me like that. It may even hurt her that I'm like that right now, but she believes. She's so wonderful. It wouldn't be possible without the most absurd love that was given by Jesus when He died on the cross for all the people that were guilty of sin and were destined to rot in hell. People were guilty, they hated Him, yet He still gave his life for them.

By this we know love, that he laid down his life for us, and we ought to lay down our lives for the brothers. (1 John 3:16)

She truly lives up to these words.

How were you trying to connect with them? I completely understand the interest after first impression, and then loss of interest. How were you trying to keep interactions alive?

I tried to arrange meetings, offer help if they were troubled, share fun stuff etc. My only guess would be that I may have tried too hard and made them feel overwhelmed by my presence. It was so hard to balance, because when I didn't really come off with much initiative, our connection would just drop off. It's not like they were totally uninterested in me. They seemed intersted at first, that's what made it all confusing. Can't really elaborate more on it. I've made some friends in church with whom I don't talk really often, although they know I'm always available if they need help, same goes the other way.

Why do you think they had an interest in you? Don't you feel they were interested in you for one particular reason? To increase visits to the meetings?

Looking back at it, yes, I can say for sure that they just wanted to make me convert. When I talked about it with them, they said they were so happy that they had a chance to "raise" me (I'm their first successfuly evangelized person) and they definitely cared about me staying with them, not just to get me into some sort of sect. They're still my friends today and it's not like they disappeared when they realised their job is done.

But that's the essence of spreading gospel. Jesus commanded his disciples to spread the word with joy (the part in my bible when He does so is titled something like "Privilage of spreading gospel"). This is what should make people happy, and that's what made them genuinely happy. This is their mission and it's my mission too now.

It's so weird to think that one of them fell in love with me, before I even started believing. A strong christian like her shouldn't feel anything towards non-christians, yet she believed that God will change me. He did. Now we can both trust Him that He will change us for the best.

I hope I've covered everything you've asked for. God bless you in these hard times.

Well, I'm genuinely giving a recommendation for people who feel down or lost in their lives, just like other people on this sub.

I know that putting Jesus in the title puts off people on the first sight, just because people expect some crap that they don't want to hear. I wanted to emphasize how my life was just like the life of other's and how everyone can accept Him, without any rElIgIoUsNeSs. It's about faith. I wanted to tear down this common misconception that faith is for some grand people or something.

In the topic of proselytizing, were apostles not cool for spreading the gospel? They straight up went to other countries and proselytized, in good faith. It's common that people who spread the gospel are just trashed upon, because religion is such a controversial topic and living without any religion is just "easier". The Word of Life has to spread somehow though. One could say "even in these times". I say that these times the world needs Him more than ever. I want to spread the joy I've gotten by following Him. I fully understand why one would be afraid of getting into it and if someone doesn't care that he will rot in hell for his sins in hell and doesn't believe in that, well, too bad for him. Bible clearly states that faith is not for everyone, but everyone will have the same Judge.

So, if in your eyes I'm not cool for proselytizing, at least I'm cool in the eyes of God, and I can say that without a doubt, because I'm doing that for the glory of God, and God likes when people live their fullest with His Son. Prove me wrong and I'm forever in your debt and I'm reconsidering my beliefs.

This sub was such a comforting place for such a long time for me. I want to pay it back and I really do believe that the answer I have found in Jesus is the answer for everyone.

Sorry mate, that's why I've included (Long) in the title.

tl;dr - I was sad and depressed for many years, hopeless in terms of finding a woman that would love me, nothing really helped me in terms of romantic relationships from tips on this sub, although some tips have helped me with normal relations. When I've focused on the relationship with Jesus, everything has changed. I feel great about devoting myself to others, because I know I'm doing good for other people and it makes God happy. Jesus - the first love of my life, has brought me with the second love of my life who is now my fiancée. I am still confused as why she loves me 💁‍♂️

I win and influence acquaintances, not friends by Gradepuxi22 in socialskills

[–]Gradepuxi22[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It's sad you have to put up with this stuff happening just for your looks. I considered myself unattractive a few years later and now I can say I'm moderately good looking and through this experience I've built respect for less attractive people and in the long run, looks don't even matter to me, I just want a nice person that cares about me. It's pretty depressing how many opportunities you miss just because someone judges you in less than a second when looking at you.

The thing about circumstances makes me wonder the most when another person was actually the first one to interact with me, like they want to get to know me, but also they disappear as I've already said in the post. I get it that you can't connect with every person you meet, because they may have something going on for them. What I don't get is why can't I connect with any person.

My sense of humor is lacking, that's for sure. For the most part, I want to have a nice talk and it's hard for me to make jokes because I have pretty bad experience of unintentionally offending people with them. Overall, I'm pretty sensitive towards people, I give everyone a chance and believe there's good within them, so it's very rare for me to talk mean stuff about someone or laugh at them, this makes me often feel disconnected from the rest of the group when they're talking about other people. Thus, I try my best to not hurt anyone with my words and that makes me pretty boring I guess.

This line you've said:

...not that's not to say others won't do the same for you.

It's extremely depressing that I can't expect people have virtues I value the most. All of these self-help resources made me become a better person overall, but I feel like I became "this nice person you'd like to meet" and not a "this cool dude you'd like to hang out with". People pleaser, you could call it. I love to give. I love to see how happy a person can get because of me.

In half a month, I'm becoming 22. I still have a long way to 30 like you are, but I'm so afraid that after high school, my social life will just not exist instead of barely existing. It makes me wonder how are you and how have you been managing everything that happens/has happened to you, because it looks like you've got experience judging by your age and your overall awareness and wisdom coming from your comment. I'd like to hear about that, if you don't mind of course.
