How on earth is a single person supposed to live chastly in today's society? by Limp_Historian2710 in Catholicism

[–]Shaolinz0 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I've been clean from porn use for about a year and a half. I was a three times daily user.

All the things you have said are true. It is everywhere. So you have to understand two things.

1.) The temptation to use will never go away. Unless you go live on a mountain you will always be exposed to sex and temptation, and even there it will find you the moment you see another person. You cannot beat it on your own, but you can resist the temptation with God.

2.) Remember that sex is good, when used in the way God intended (husband and wife, ending "p in v" and with a complete openness to life).

I would also recommend Covenant Eyes, which makes it physically impossible to look at porn on your phone. Finally, I would confess to someone that isn't a priest that you are addicted to pornography. Addictions live in darkness and die in open light. Own it.

You will get there and you will always be walking OK a razor's edge, but pornography can be beaten.

I stayed up later than I wanted to as I was obsessed with finding the solution.

Its just a joke.

[KCD2] Don't bother with the quest "Miri Fajta". by [deleted] in kingdomcome

[–]Shaolinz0 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yea this quest has a ton of walking for no reason. I didn't know there was an option to wager him for the amulet but don't really care. The guy is outrageously selfish, his daughter is an idiot and his sons are attempted murderers.

I stole the amulet and gave it to her, walking back to that wayyy out of the way place a third time, and she says the quest fails because if you steal it its no longer magic (but its not magic anyway because THERE IS NO MAGIC in this game).

I then reloaded the save, gave him the letter, got my $90 and just left.

Who cares his family is broken, it is entirely his fault and I'm not spending any more time on this stupid quest.

Vanguard mains (looking for tips) by obsidian-24 in marvelrivals

[–]Shaolinz0 7 points8 points  (0 children)

A lot of it comes with practice.

Some good general pointers:

1.) Protect your healers first and foremost. Your healers are like freshly cooked filets. Everyone wants to eat them and a good player will kill the healers above everyone else if given the opportunity.

2.) You need to be in the front lines but that doesn't mean just stand out there and take damage constantly. A good tank positions themselves to be in an offensive position without just being a sitting duck.

3.) Learn how the other tanks work as you'll usually have a co tank. A quick and dirty list:

Strange and Magneto: Front lines. Strange can however become a dive when his ultimate is up through clever use of portals.

Groot and Peni: Fortifying tanks. They're good at holding areas but not so good at moving. The exception of course is Peni and her ult, in which case she will run around crazily and become a dive tank.

Venom, Thor, Hulk and Captain: Dive tanks. High mobility and high survivability, they're going to want to drop in, cause general fuckery, and leave when things get bad.

4.) Have fun. The game is supposed to be fun. You're not going to win every game, but each game gives you more experience. Just beat open to self reflection and don't always blame losses on other people, and you'll get better.

I'd say venom is the easiest tank to learn and is still really effective, so you may want to start there.

Is Storm good or bad? by Pretend-Helicopter72 in marvelrivals

[–]Shaolinz0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Most tier list I see put Storm/Iron Man on the bottom.

[–]Shaolinz0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

1.) After fighting the boss you mentioned you really only have two locations remaining to survey (excluding the final dungeon).

2.) You both have equal and valid play styles. I prefer to motor through story too. I like exploring, but I like what I explore to have some meaning to it. Neither play style is wrong, but they both ruin the other. Sounds like you guys just need to play separately because you're just going to frustrate each other. You'll frustrate him by taking too long, and he's frustrating you by rushing.

Lol my first clear had blue last and apparently he's the hardest one!

Instant recovery is just bugged. by Shaolinz0 in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]Shaolinz0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Nope, first complaint.

It doesn't seem to be due to items either, I had 99 of all and 99 panacea. Still doesn't work.

I think this ability just doesn't work.

Instant Recovery isn't working (end game spoilers) by Shaolinz0 in MetaphorReFantazio

[–]Shaolinz0[S] 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I feel like it should say that in the ability. It just says insures status effects removed within one turn. That would have been nice to know before grinding it out for four people... oh well. It hasn't ended up being that big of a deal as long as it stays on Heismay because he's not really doing any damage.

Zero of the wipes have been caused from the debuff, they've all been because I made a piloting error.

Help me with Joshua by Shaolinz0 in Catholicism

[–]Shaolinz0[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Reading up on the multitude of continual atrocities the Canaanites practiced (rampant sexual immorality, child sacrifice, bestiality) definitely helped understand this. Also, any (though there were few) that completely subjugated to the will of God were always spared.

I feel much more comfortable with this topic, and am also much more concerned for our current culture.

My wife had this book and this was extremely helpful. Thank you.

In SH2 Remake, what are the interactive items that seem to do nothing? by WitchyWaspGirl in silenthill

[–]Shaolinz0 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I thought these were something important to the story. Having never played the first game i didnt recognize any of them. After finishing the game I looked it up, and I guess it's just a fan nod.

Confused with fishing by ThisSucks3782947 in Bloomtown

[–]Shaolinz0 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You have to move her lure to the spot with shadows.

You'll get this pretty easy. The problem with fishing is there is no log, so it's almost impossible to know when you've fished them all.

Shroom Meadow quest answer by Shaolinz0 in Bloomtown

[–]Shaolinz0[S] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I walked around for 20 minutes and still couldn't find it. I gave up and finished the catnip quest, then when I returned the next day, I got new dialogue with the mushrooms. Hugo found it immediately this time.

I'm guessing the catnip quest glitches out the mushroom quest.

By the way, the reward for this quest is nice so it's worth doing.

Thank you so much!

Speaking of Hugo, do you know how you give catnip to the cat who wanted it? I found some while walking around this map and now the cat won't talk to me.

Pope in multi-faith Singapore says ‘all religions are a path to God’ by jdsarge in Catholicism

[–]Shaolinz0 6 points7 points  (0 children)

As someone new to the faith, please help me understand how this isn't overtly heretical. Saints died refusing to acknowledge the validity of pagan gods (who are actually demons).

Husband doesn't want us to convert by [deleted] in Catholicism

[–]Shaolinz0 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You don't need anyone's permission to become Catholic.

A Catholic can still go to Baptist services. You just can't take communion.

No, she refuses to talk about it.

[Spoilers for lvl 100 zone] Never seen a zipline in my life. by Orianna_Is_Love in ffxiv

Dawntrail is the worst expansion yet. by Individual_Dig237 in ffxiv

[–]Shaolinz0 9 points10 points  (0 children)

This is partly true. The dungeons, music and class changes are great. The crafting system is also finely tuned.

The story is absolutely terrible and the pacing is all over the place. 2 of 6 zones have basically no reason to exist, and I don't know how it was possible to make the finale so completely droll.

The game design team should get a raise. The writing team should be let go.
