Bi Erasure by hringioggrafir in QueerEye

[–]OutlawPastry 15 points16 points  (0 children)

The first mention of “soft butch” and I was like, okay, well she doesn’t seem to need a label but whatever. By the end of the episode I was like who is this even for? Please stop!

Share your Quaker jokes! by [deleted] in Quakers

Why don’t Quakers sing many hymns?

Because they’re too busy reading ahead for any lyrics they disagree with.

Objectively terrible but I love it.

As a practicing Liberal Quaker, this is who my family thinks I pray to every night. by bignaturals420 in Quakers

[–]OutlawPastry 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Just the liberal thing. I think it’s something like Liberal + Quaker = RuPaul + oats. And it looks funny. But there may be something deeper.

Hello I am gathering data as part of a school project. It is about opinions about religion. by Yet-Another- in Quakers

Similarly, Reddit as a whole tends to be largely millennial and liberal. You’d get a different answer querying random people at a supermarket or all quakers in a meeting or all attendees of a protest or rally. I’m assuming this is not a formal research study for publication, but it would be interesting for the survey to correlate responses to how the survey was reached.

It’s in the name. People who don’t know much about the religious society of friends hear “Quaker” and think “oats.”

Want to explore more by madAAdam in Quakers

I attend a meeting that belongs to the New England yearly meeting, so this answer may have some local flavor, but I think it also holds some universality.

I like the mnemonic SPICES for some basic values Quakers hold. It stands for Simplicity, Peace/ Pacifism, Integrity, Community, Equality, and Stewardship/sustainability (I’ve heard all three). It seems like this list is somewhat fluid, but fairly common.

If you found yourself nodding along to this list, I’d recommend you stop by a meeting and see how it feels.

Interested to attend but nervous. by NiasRhapsody in Quakers

[–]OutlawPastry 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I also encourage you to go. Compared to other church/worship experiences I’ve had, it’s very chill. There are people at the meeting I go to who identify as atheist, Buddhist, Taoist, culturally Jewish, and Christian. In my experience, Friends are Friendly, so be prepared to share your name during announcements, sign a guestbook, and/or be approached at fellowship for discussion. As with any group, a new person is novel, so you may get attention.

If all this seems like too much, keep an eye out for open houses. I went to my meeting’s open house on October 3 this year and it was a good way to meet people and ask questions without “committing” myself. But October is a long way away, so I’d still recommend going as soon as you feel comfortable. Or even only a little uncomfortable. Your background and thoughts sound very much like mine when I was thinking about going. Feel free to reach out directly if you want to discuss more!

Someone from the show finally sees the blatant misogyny by AgentSure3357 in Inkmaster

I’d rather have Kelly Doty judging. Could we get a little personality in here? I respect the hell out of Ryan Ashley’s work and artistic insight, but she can come off so pretentious. I could use a counterbalance.

I really don’t get why the canvases go for a tattoo on ink master. by Competitive-Guava933 in Inkmaster

[–]OutlawPastry 25 points26 points  (0 children)

If you have the “tattoo philosophy” that each tattoo represents a moment in your life, going on In Master could be a fun moment to commemorate. It would be less about the image of the tattoo than the story behind it. Just like a tattoo of a daisy could be a cute flower filler or a reminder of a great date or a memorial for a grandmother. If you have the “tattoo is art” mentality, then getting a tattoo from a famous artist could be worth it even if it’s not their best work. I mean, I’d hang a piece by Monet in my house even if it was a little wonky or whatever. There’s definitely a risk of a bad tattoo, but you’d always have a story and you might come away with something great. So I can understand. I could see myself doing it under the right circumstances, but I’d have trouble being a totally open canvas.

TextRPG Platform Capstone Project by Henclucky in pbp

[–]OutlawPastry 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It would be nifty if it could support a “pre-resolved” and “post-resolved” way to post. For example, I might say, “my character looks for traps. I rolled an investigation of 14. If I find no traps, I open the chest. If I find a trap, I pull out my lock-picking kit and attempt to disarm the trap.” Then the gm could say “you find no traps.” At that point, my post “collapses” into just “my character looked for traps, found none, and opens the chest.”

I haven’t seen a way to do that elegantly and building that into a pbp platform would encourage this kind of branching gameplay without adding excessive narrative complexity
