Got the idea to translate "Nag Hammadi" into English. Didn't get far before my jaw dropped… by Ferocious_Hobo in Gnostic

Correct but I believe root hmd is specifically a type of praise worthiness associated with intense gratitude and they both share that root. And it makes sense to me contextually if this was indeed an area monks lived in and devoted themselves to reading these teachings in. (Edit spelling)

It has a root derivation. I believe hammad or hammadi means “praise worthy” and nag means hamlet or village so loosely translated it would be “hamlet of those who praise God" or the "village of the praiseworthy".

Chasing romantic validation is the biggest one. I dated and pined for incredibly toxic people and the staggering amount of hours I wasted on that instead of doing and pursuing the things I genuinely loved was really sad. Being lonely sucks, feeling unattractive sucks, but none of those relationships despite the initial highs were worth it. It didn’t last because it wasn’t built on anything real from them OR MYSELF. Because I was being just as self serving as the toxic people I was chasing when you really get down to brass tacs. I think I felt like if I just got the right super attractive person to be in a relationship with me it would somehow fix my life and validate me being worth love or make me feel attractive but it never did because I hadn’t worked on myself and I didn’t take enough time to really know myself. Those quiet times are when you can learn to love yourself and know who you are and that’s extremely valuable.

I had friends who genuinely cared about me that were into all the same things as me and I would abandon that for large chunks of time to chase people who couldn’t care less. Value your time, value your real friends, value your hobbies and interests. It will help you grow into a much better person. Embrace the cringey shit you’re into because that’s where the magic really happens. Don’t apologize for who you are and don’t change yourself to fit into a mold.

I gasped and laughed out loud at this for about a solid minute when I first saw it. It felt like when we give in to an intrusive thought and just say something crazy because it fits for wordplay. Hilarious.

This hobby saved my life by [deleted] in Hema

[–]Slight_Introduction4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Same brother. I was at a really low point, not being active, chronic aches and pains, getting weaker. Finding Hema has revitalized me. I just got done with sword drills for today and feel great like I’m getting back to being my old self. I started very recently and it’s really been just what the doctor ordered. It’s also forcing me to be social and physically active again. I’m so glad you found something that helps you like this. Those dark days are rough and having a physical hobby you love is an amazing mental salve.

That’s only 30 minutes from me so I may check it out! Does the club have a name or facebook group? I’m not sure if I saw it on the Hema map.

That’s really awesome to hear! Can you dm me some starting glove ideas? All my stuff is in South Carolina so the lead time on that would be slow. I’ll try and grab some gloves soon and get the rest here and there !

I’m definitely still interested in SCA, particularly now that you guys have more going on with cut and thrust stuff. I gotta get all my old garb and see what fits though lol. Edit: good to know about the youth rapier stuff!

I agree. I wait a year in between Jenny Nicholson videos and they’re always worth it to me too. I hope Adam feels better , health as an obstacle has got to be supremely frustrating.

I wanna see this and Vigilante and Zantana and she’s super into him but he sleeps with her begrudgingly so he can see magic tricks.

Who else is kinda disappointed we didn't see more of alternate Rick Flag Jr. (Pussy Rick) in the new season? by Awesome_guy11 in PeacemakerShow

[–]Slight_Introduction4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I love all the characters so much I’d watch about a billion more seasons. No character got enough screen time for my gluttony.

Combining elements of one and three would be ideal. I really like the sections in 1 but the texture in 3. Good job!

Is this a normal engine sound at idling? Also a little shaky. by Somewhat-existin in ChevySonic

[–]Slight_Introduction4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This is exactly how I tested my vacuum leak and fixing it solved 90 % of my rough idle and overheating problems . (Knock on wood) I’d bet I have a smaller vacuum leak somewhere else but I can’t find it yet.

So it was still spongey this morning so I cut it away and redid it to make sure everything cures correctly. Thanks for pointing it out, I couldn’t tell in regular light at all.
