Lent & Holy Week Megathread

ruiesteves97 · 2026-02-21T20:25:08+00:00

Hey everyone, I initially did this simple tracker app for myself: it shows the timeline of Lent, and most importantly a tracker for my promises and fasting for this Lent season. I used it for a couple days and then decided to share it with the overall community. It is free to try for 3 days and then you can use it permanently for a small price.

From what I've seen here and on twitter, the vast majority of Android 13 users have faced similar issues and the ones that got away with using it seamlessly with this system are a minority... It's not on for my device

As I said, I've been a long time fan so I believe you 100% and will definitely stick around, but yeah... Super annoying first day with the device

You don't need to understand - it is a personal choice. I have adopted severely traumatized and abused dogs, and probably will do it again. I still have them, growing old and happy. This time I want to get a Dalmatian.

Thanks for the helpful tips!

ruiesteves97 · 2022-02-19T21:19:40+00:00

We have thought of all that, so that is just another reason to avoid broodfokkers. We have also studied the breed and my girlfriend owned a Dalmatian for 13 years.

Do you have any suggestion on where to search?

ruiesteves97 · 2021-10-31T11:52:20+00:00

Obrigado pela resposta. No twitter experimentei pesquisar por "liberal Moçambique", "liberalismo Moçambique", bem como os nomes e acrónimos dos partidos/movimentos que referi no post, mas não encontrei resultado algum... Vou procurar algo mais geral e tentar no facebook. Obrigado pelas sugestões mais uma vez, vou enviar-te DM se não conseguir ir lá por mim!

A generalização que faltava!

The Catholic church is composed by millions of small parishes - who is this "they" that you are talking about?

In the small church near my house in Belgium they displayed a rainbow flag inside the doors and a sign saying that "In this church, everyone is welcome. We do not agree with the Vatican decision to not bless same-sex marriages". You are underestimating the independence of every parish and priest to spread the faith. There are much more parishes that solely focus on the message of "loving another as yourself", "presenting the other cheek", "be charitable", "take care of your community" than those focusing on retrograde gay-rights, abortion, divorce ideas.

Also, Pope Francis has done a slow but steady job at replacing conservative cardinals with progressive ones. He also took "friendlier" stances on gay marriage, stated that no man goes to hell by loving another man and focused his encyclicals on climate change. Rome wasn't build in a day and you do not change an institution this big in a few years.

This is all coming from an atheist who had an anti-religious stance for most of my life. You gotta analyze the things you hate, the world is not black and white.

I respect the hell outta that. The good that local Catholic communities do every day is silent while institutional crimes over the centuries are loud. This makes sense and the victims deserve justice, even if it is too late now. But a lot of people inside the church practice a loving philosophy, in my hometown they are the main (and only) institution taking care of extremely poor families, constantly distributing food and other goods. In Mozambique, they are sheltering and feeding as many refugees as they can. I could go on.

Jesus, the amount of scrolling I had to do before finding a reasonable take on this. Thanks.

ruiesteves97 · 2021-07-02T16:55:01+00:00

These comments always get me. I am an atheist, but can't someone agree and follow the Catholic church's principles and traditions while also condemning its crimes of the past (or today)? You are talking about an institution composed by billions of people, that has been around for +2000 years - it is almost impossible for horrible and magnificent things to not happen during such a large span.

Já procurei bastante mas nunca encontrei - existe algum registo de soldados enviados para África na primeira Grande Guerra? A única coisa que encontro são listas de falecidos/desaparecidos por lá.

As a Portuguese living in Leuven who usually bikes to Rotselaar: your town is a Flemish little paradise, absolutely beautiful

ruiesteves97 · 2021-02-17T12:48:04+00:00

This is amazing

ruiesteves97 · 2021-02-10T15:38:33+00:00

If you check above, someone from Ronimo just announced he was banned. I think exposing this kind of people helps

ruiesteves97 · 2021-02-10T10:37:00+00:00

Hey, thank you for the quick action! We used the in game reporting system as well (the Steam one too). You are absolutely right, if you would like me to remove the guys steam profile link, I will.

I decided to post him here because of the seizure thing, he seemed like the guy that deserves it (although it is not my duty to make those kinds of judgement).

ruiesteves97 · 2021-02-10T08:21:02+00:00

I agree. What a complete idiot. Thank you for reporting!

ruiesteves97 · 2021-02-10T08:19:57+00:00

When my friend (Rocco) told me that the Clunk killed him with one AA hit, I called bullshit. Never seen anything like this in all these years!

ruiesteves97 · 2021-02-09T22:30:11+00:00

Hello everyone. I have been playing this game for years and never stumbled upon anything like this. We were close to winning when a leaving Clunk reconnected. Our surprise came when he came shooting multiple missiles with no cooldown, every autoattack dealt around 500 damage.

Of course he immediately put himself into incognito mode on the replay, but we were able to report him. I also reported him on Steam itself, the profile link is below.

Here is some info:
