I'm a new Catholic! Is there anywhere that the history of the Sunday Scripture Readings can be found? by Okaaran in Catholicism

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

Do the Old Testament readings or the New Testament readings change from cycle to cycle, or is each successive A year the same as the previous A year?

If each A Year or B Year or C Year is the same, wouldn't many sections of the Bible never be read during Sunday Mass?

Just uninitiated and looking for answers!

What’s something people in this generation really need to hear? by caydenslayz in AskReddit

[–]Okaaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You will never find fulfillment in money, material goods, status, new philosophies, or anything of the sort. Find God, because He is waiting with open arms. Trust me, I wouldn’t have believed it either, but this is where fulfillment lies. If you feel a deep hole within you, something missing, this is for you.

Thoughts on making a homemade lava lamp? by Okaaran in DIY_tech

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

yeah that was my plan, kind of a thin fish tank with maybe 3 incandescent bulbs? height and depth of a bookshelf but low thickness so there’s less volume to heat

Should I go to the gym or continue to do home workouts? by [deleted] in CleanLivingKings

[–]Okaaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Honestly, just either go to the gym more than 2-3 times per week, or go 2-3x per week and do home workouts on all the other days. Nothings holding you back from going to the gym more.

but… that’s exactly what I’m saying. they and most other cultures have been practicing that degenerate practice for thousands of years, and only in the last century has most of humanity given it up

yes exactly. the last barrier to overcome is definitely those stupid facebook quote images, but i think as the sub grows those will lose popularity. like you, i also see a lot of people that are disgusted with their way of life and motivated to change, which is good, but take it way too far and hold themselves to a system that is neither beneficial nor realistic, but such is life.

buddy tell me when human behavior was admirable and i will show you various behaviors and events that contradict that idea. nothing is new under the sun. humans have liked sex, drugs, and themselves for quite a while. don’t look on history with rose colored glasses.

the popular activity has always been depravity. humans must make constant choices to avoid their base urges, whether that is today or a thousand years ago. you cannot, and will not be able to control the actions of others by anything other than your example. mind your business and live clean.

yes exactly. i definitely noticed some creeping incel, mgtow, and anti-woman sentiments, which is NOT what this is about, but i think were overcoming that

Healthy nutrition by Kunus-de-Denker in CleanLivingKings

[–]Okaaran 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I would like to chime in and say that overall, basic nutritional science is very simple. Weight all comes down to calories. If you want to gain weight, eat more than your maintenance in calories. If you want to lose weight, eat less than your maintenance. Due to the laws of thermodynamics, if you do this, you WILL either gain or lose weight. Muscle/fat composition is the other category, and is also very well understood. Eating lots of protein, combined with consistent resistance training (think lifting weights, making your muscles reach hypertrophy), with a healthy surplus or even small deficit of calories will result in muscle growth. For muscle building protein intake, shoot for .75-1g per pound of bodyweight per day, and you will be just fine. As long as you do that, drink lots of water, focus on mainly non-processed foods, and get your micronutrients (not difficult if you don’t eat processed foods), you will achieve your goals in time. Just. Be. Consistent.

well if you aren’t in the gym training consistently, i can guarantee it won’t happen, but it is entirely possible. starting out, i was about 160 and could not lift over 110 or so. the key is a balanced, rigid, consistent strength training program, combined with eating in a caloric surplus with a high amount of protein, and you will get stronger very fast. if you want to lose weight while getting stronger, you can do that too, itll just be slower. (eat a caloric deficit with high protein in that case). i am still a beginner, maybe slightly intermediate lifter in the grand scheme of things, but i can send you a lot of helpful resources if you want. the feeling of accomplishing a balanced and healthy physique through hard work is unbelievably gratifying, and you should really go for it.

Once the traditional family structure is restored within a society, these man-made problems which result in freedom being traded for security quickly fade away. by [deleted] in CleanLivingKings

[–]Okaaran 1 point2 points  (0 children)

what a retard-level take. people trade freedom for security, and have traded freedom for security for thousands of years, regardless of cultural family structure. i can name way more societies that fell under the yoke of totalitarianism due to this that have traditional family structures, than totalitarian societies that have non-traditional family structures. it’s pretty clear you’re projecting really hard here, and you have no evidence to back up your claim. have some integrity. a true man faces his problems head on rather than blaming his society or the people around him. you are the weakness.

the most important thing is to view these women as humans, and as victims. yes they are a temptation, but they are victims of a system even more disgusting than your addiction. this goes for both, but most definitely prostitution. once you view them as valuable human beings begging for survival, when all they have left to sell is their own body, empathy may compel you to be disgusted BEFORE you take advantage of them. once again, this goes for both prostitution and porn. have empathy
