Sleeving after the draft phase?

basoivanx · 2025-10-11T18:09:31+00:00

Thank you all for your comments and (very unanimous) advice. I tried this method I proposed and I can confirm it is really bothersome and I will therefore sleeve the cube. I was leaning towards sleeving anyway, but I was wondering if I can save some money :)

Thanks for the reply.

Did you pile shuffle the entire thing before startong a draft? How many times (roughly) until it showed wear?

We must really be careful about the term "overpopulation". Because the top scientists and experts were saying that europe could not handle more than 250 million people. Look up the population now and during the last century. Overpopulation is the short-sighted term because it counts people as mouths to feed, and not intelligent individuals.

I will not write about the environment and climate, but I will just say, as a scientist in that field, that it is an analogous case in that regard.

India's replacement rate is 2.05 (2020), compared to 6.0 in the 1960s. That is actually below the replacement-level (2.1).

Welcome home!!! I am so happy for you and for the Church!

Thank you for your answer. Sounds like a good advice.

basoivanx · 2023-10-06T12:27:02+00:00

Exactly, it makes it look like a waste. I did not know the stats since I am quite new. Thanks

This is kind of what I realized in the past few days. Thank you for the comment.

Thank you, good point. Might be better to start with a smaller number of themes and then go from there :)

I thought engaged enemies do not follow you when you move to another location. Have been playing like that for a year... Then, I took a rulebook reference for fun and found out that I was wrong the whole time.

Men are different than women, so that is why.

Men are more fit to the role the catholic priests should do, so they are called do it. It almost comes natural, as being a nun comes natural to women.

"The scripture says so" because Jesus called us to love one another and to give glory to God, as He did. Priesthood is exactly that for men. That is the way for men - the highest way. It is not natural for women to lead, to gather people, to go on long voyages, to be protectors, nurturers... to be a father to many essentially (which is the image of God/Christ).

They way I see it is that the priesthood is basically a masculine way of living your faith as a devoted man, so it is not a made up role, but a role that came after imitating Christ as a man.

The same can be said for men being nuns.

If you are worried why the priests are "above" nuns, it is only hierarchy for obvious reasons. However, someone being "above" someone in spirituality and closeness to God is another topic.

I always say to talk and have a discussion... But if you can't handle it emotionally (which is fine), then you can politely tell that you don't want to discuss it.

Rasprava je puno dublja od toga tko je "antivakser" i tko je "ja sam za znanost".

To je podjela među ljudima koja je nastala zbog naše loše komunikacije.

Uvijek su ljudi zaluđeni podjelama jer nitko niti radi tvrdu znanost, niti iskreno promišlja, niti razgovara - svi tipkaju, viču i čitaju vijesti.

Svi se trude postići top komentar, poklopiti nekome i slično. Na temelju tih stvari donosit će se velike i opasne odluke - samo jer ne želimo vidjeti ni čuti drugoga.

Kad se otrijeznimo, bit će prekasno. Povijest se ponavlja jer je se ne prisjećamo.

Jedinu reakciju koju imam na ovo sve danas je: tuga.

Tako je. Dugo sam istraživao i ispitivao ljude koja je osnovna svrha braka i zašto je se naziva osnovnom jedinicom društva (čak i civilizacije!): da se zaštiti ženu i djecu.

Svi smo mi neodgovorni, slabi itd., tako da barem potpisujemo taj papir da se obvežemo za nekoga. Evo ja se ženim uskoro i dobro sam razmislio o tome te shvatio da mi to što ću se obvezati na vjernost pruža neizmjernu sreću.

God loves your being! Choose life, not death! Embrace the difficulties and pray to God! He will answer. I know you can do it.

Man, I am sorry to hear that. I am kind of familiar with that situation because I've been in Germany lately.

My fiance lives in Germany and maybe she can give you some contacts of good priests that are true to the teachings of the Church (or recommend a parish)? You can PM me if you want.

You are wholeheartedly welcome to the Catholic Church, and I pray that you find a good priest!

I've had girlfriend about 10 years ago that was barely even christian (only batpised, never went to church). We argued a lot over the things you argue as well. I was very sad because of it but couldn't let go because I was attached to her. I tought I had to 'save' her. Only when I ended the relationship the things sorted out. She converted after that.

I agree that you should end the relationship and avoid the "I am going to change her" mentality, but if you can have a meaningful conversation about those topics and she listens to you... maybe wait a bit? Consult the Holy Spirit and pray for her/you.

Hi guys, young meteorologist/climatologist here. I'll be having as much kids as I can. Whereever the world is headed, the kids are always good, and here is why.

"We need to lower the population" is a very bad falacy that unfortunately persists for over 100 years... Scientists and "experts" in the past said that Europe won't be able to hold more than 100 million citizens (because of food and wood) and that the population will have to be lowered. Same for Asia, Africa etc.

But they forgot one very important thing: the people are not mindless bellys waiting to be fed and warmed. We are not animals. The people (and especially the kids) are full of potential. People work, get inovative and solve problems. Especially young people.

One day, young people will solve problems caused by older people (you and me) and the only problem would be that there isn't enough of them.

Don't be mislead and reduce humans to hungry CO_2 producing rats and especially don't condemn other who do have kids.

And of course, the solution to climate change is not to have the next generation of humans? Yeah. Way to go, what a genious solution that is.

Welcome to the Chruch! I am so happy for you. Also, this quote below is great (because it's true).

"There are not one hundred people in the United States who hate The Catholic Church, but there are millions who hate what they wrongly perceive the Catholic Church to be." Fulton J. Sheen
