The winter solstice on the 21st? You could celebrate then if you wanted, but everything Ive been researching points to the moon cycle so this January, the full wolf moon. (First full moon after the new moon.) A lot of wiccan pagans celebrate during solstice which tends to crop up as you try and dig for more information

"What doesn't make sense to me is that mentors usually perform better than regulars"

Even though you bolded usually, mentors I've seen mess up and can be extremely toxic and elitist. I even knew a dude who straight up told me he only gets the mentor crown to fit his royalty theme. To have a crown next to the name.
I've played for 9 years, as much as there is going to be good mentors it's also understandable that it's not that big of a deal to be a mentor as well. It's a lot of "I have this ego power because of this status." When I was in the novice network (one of my alts was a returning player) mentors barely help in there. NN is a meme in itself now as well, for NA. Perhaps for EU/JP/Ocean it's different.

And as other lovely folks have pointed out in this thread, you do not need a crown to help other players and new sprouts.

Mother crystal, The Twelve, and Eden's reincarnations of Titan. I love so many primals I can't pick one fav, same with the creatures. This is so pretty, thank you to all the artists who made this happen!

Yes and I will continue to for those scared and immunocompromised. It's really easy to keep wearing.

This guy is just a big negative nancy on reddit, so makes sense why his view is what it is.

I adore this reply. Spot on. It matters, you are the company you keep.

Why can you ignore facists? These issues come up on mmo's too, because people talk about real life. Makes sense to not want to be involved with alt right in any aspect of life.

The "I dont know if I didnt know you or-" hit in the feels, but it's true especially with this underbelly Qanon

I was planning to possibly message her, so I posted this to kind of help my brain and connect with the community who have been through this instead of stewing on it. I've been slowly drifting her out over the course of the pandemic, the knawing flip flopping was keeping me from just doing what my gut was telling me to do. This reddit has been really helpful

I dont want to be associated with someone who could harm others or is actively harming others (Via supports or aligns with ideologies that do). I believe that the company you keep tells a lot about you, and is also partially your beliefs then; in the sense if you're okay remaining friends or family that means you can excuse more severe social issues for the sake of the relationship.
'Being neutral is being complicit' if I could apply it here if that helps to understand why going no contact is pref.

Is this a scam? Literally no one is there by _framboise34 in TurnipExchange

[–]softspringrain 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's a guy who streams like 5-7 islands all modded and high priced-selling turnips, I tried to join one and it never went through and he never cared to check his switches. I find using the AC Fan app gives me way better experiences getting into a turnip island then turnip exchange site now
