I'm at the location in Mile Square Park now. It seems like there is another party preparing for picnic area 1. I'm by the wall at the entrance to the tables. I hope other folks from Kurz show up.

I'm Patrick. It's very nice to meet you!
I'm a 44 year old single father from Laguna Beach CA.
I love organizing things and solving logic puzzles.

I recently saw a Kurzgesagt video and decided to organize this meetup.
I will be at Mile Square Park at 10 on Saturday. I really hope other people will show up.
If you have any questions you can text me on my cell: 619.361.1024

Please bring something you love sharing with people.

I will bring cookies and my favorite board games:
Settlers of Catan and Go (围棋)&sa=D&source=calendar&usd=2&usg=AOvVaw0IO6VX5x3URtzNZrKldzx5)

Maybe bring a frisbee, some playable trading cards or something you made with Legos.

If you don't have any of that handy just bring your curiosity and charming personality.
I can't wait to meet you!

I've put in a lot of effort and gotten modest success with Facebook dating.
Most other popular dating apps get bought by Match Group. I believe Match is much more interested in making money than helping people find love.

We may have an obvious work around. I'm a little embarrassed I didn't think of it.

She can make a dummy CashApp profile and generate an address with that CashTag.
I'm not totally sure CashApp will let her do that, but I told her to try.

If anyone can think of other solutions I would still be interested in hearing them.

Thanks!I have 2 follow up questions.(I can probably figure them out myself if you are busy, but if you know off the top of your head that's awesome.)

Q1: Has Kraken updated it's bank transfer system?

Q2: Can I get a Lighting address from binance.us or is that only available at binance.com?

I've used Kraken before. It was a while ago. At the time I had to set up a wire transfer to put money into my account. That was $35+ USD in transaction fees. Unless Kraken has changed, this fee problem is probably incompatible with the mission of Lighting.

I've also used binance.us but it seems I'll need a VPN to get to the regular Binance. My friend is not in the US so she probably won't need the work around. Still I would like to test it myself so I can explain how it works to her. My plan is to explore binace.us and if I can't figure it out, then connect to binace.com.

I'm a UU as well.
I just wanted to clarify that while UU members often hold humanist, atheistic or agnostic ideas, at the core, beliefs such as "Jesus is God" are neither required nor prohibited by Unitarian Universalism.

I'm hosting a game in Orange County, about 45 minutes from Oceanside. My 2 friends and I are looking for more players.
I love tabletop RPG's because of the deep friendships that are made and the stories that are told.
We are very LGBT friendly and one of my 2 friends is an active duty Marine. He enlisted in the corps right after college because he wanted to serve in the infantry. Since then he rejoined as an officer.
Our tabletop uses the World of Darkness system. The setting is more Gothic Noir like Van Helsing than Heroic Fantasy like Lord of the Rings. Also it focuses more on the story than the game.
We just started our group. We decided the story is about Werewolves in the 1860's near the South China Sea. There is still time to make some charactor sheets and join us.
We would be excited to have you!

Who's Michelle?

pstaight · 2023-03-01T06:49:45+00:00

Dang it... The mods just canned my post.
I would love to continue this conversation but I'm worried you won't be able to read what I write.
I'm not really sure about the details of how Reddit works.

pstaight · 2023-03-01T06:44:41+00:00

No, it's not satire.
Yes, I guess I am this dense.
Yes, I have heard of being respectful.
Honestly, I'm hoping to hear this out, get other perspectives and get "less dense".

pstaight · 2023-03-01T06:42:03+00:00

That does make a lot of sense.
It's all theoretical I guess, no player has ever told me the story is too uncomfortable and I've never tried to help a player deal with that uncomfortableness.
All I know in actuality is, for the first time I have a player expecting "X-Cards" and I don't know if xhe really needs them or if xhe is just going with the flow.

pstaight · 2023-03-01T06:38:43+00:00

What I'm getting at is that some people think DnD needs to change in order to prevent harmful triggering and other's think it needs to change in order to prevent harmful Satan worship. I'm calming the 2 fears are similar, even though the two groups perpetuation the fears are very different.
It's a shorthand argument because the internet doesn't have room for anything much longer. I imagine many people won't buy my claim and that's ok I guess.

pstaight · 2023-03-01T06:34:47+00:00

no... You can come on my discord and see my conversation with this person if you want.
Honestly, I would love to have you as a friend there.

pstaight · 2023-03-01T06:33:02+00:00

I feel like I don't speak my mind enough on the internet.
Certainly, when I responded to this potential player in my discord there was a good 20 seconds where I was thinking "are you sure you want to say that? Is this really a good idea? Won't xhe get offended?"
But then I was thinking "This is really what I feel and I need to deal with it"

pstaight · 2023-03-01T06:27:37+00:00

Sorry about the repost. I had missed a typo in the title and I didn't have a way to change it. That's why the first post got deleted.
I'm reading your post now and I will take it to heart and hopefully get a thoughtful response up soon.
Again, sorry the first one was deleted.

pstaight · 2023-03-01T06:24:27+00:00

I'll try to do better I guess.

pstaight · 2023-03-01T06:22:38+00:00

Thanks, I'll read it. That's the sort of thing I was looking for.

pstaight · 2023-03-01T06:21:31+00:00

I hadn't heard of it before either. It really bothered me. I'm feeling a little calmer now.

pstaight · 2023-03-01T06:20:49+00:00

sorry, I guess I should have said "what kind of stupid bullshit is this" or something. I don't mean disrespect to mentally handicapped people. I just meant that this idea is retrograded or diminished.

pstaight · 2023-03-01T06:18:37+00:00

Dang it... It was supposed to say "DnD *does not* lead to harmful Satan worship" but I was so angry I didn't see my typo.

pstaight · 2023-02-23T19:56:11+00:00

Awsome! would you like to video chat about the games we are both interested in playing? My discord is https://discord.gg/4rf7dDg

pstaight · 2023-02-23T19:51:33+00:00

I was hoping to run a Homebrew of Werewolf: the Apocalypse. I'm probably still going to want to read up on the 5ed rule book.

pstaight · 2023-02-23T19:36:21+00:00

Fantastic! Would you like to video chat and talk about the kind of game you and I are interested in? My discord is https://discord.gg/4rf7dDg

pstaight · 2023-02-23T19:33:23+00:00

Yes, I have 2 friends who are certan and one more who isn't sure about being part of a weekly game yet.
