I been wanting that Lego set since I saw it in an article before it's release. 9600 pieces. My ability to Lego seems to have no limits mentally... Physically, I needed a cart to move the box home.
Building Lego is my zen.
Topic: Distracted from posting
Feeling like I should only post positives, so havent had much to post about. There is onething I'm happy about, got a rebate from some services I was having to pay for, then they were like, oops, we charged too much. Have some money back.
Took that $$ to buy Lego Death Star. Happily distracted.
Topic: Windows Update Rant
Windows updated while I slept.
It did not restore everyting I had open.
Three different photo viewer things, which I need to help my brain doing Art-ing, was absent.
Frustrated Grrrr.
Topic: Gaming and Gender names
Dear folks who are respectful of preferred genders...
I play a breeding game, Ark. Some pets have no gender, and can breed with any member of it's/their species. I like to put 'Ms' for my ladies, and 'Mr' for my dudes in other species.
Do I name the non-gender as Mx, or something else? I been naming them Mx, but dont want to be offensive.
Opinions appreciated.
Topic: Personal Paths
I want to believe, that the way meant for me, will be smooth, and feel just right for me.
I dont need the Bible to feel what I feel. But reading it did help in some areas of life. I read the whole thing, like one would read a novel. Lord of the Rings, Harry Potter, etc. It's a book, a buncha words and stories of people doing stuff.
I thought, why not. I'll read it all, so I could say, I did it.
I dont believe there is one universal faith. We each have different paths, one path for each soul in existence. I cant follow your way, when I have my own path.
Your choice, your life.
"killed my faith" oh, not 'my' faith, it was my parents' faith. Lutheran.
Didnt feel good. Didnt feel right. I'm glad I ditched it.
Even now, when I believe in stuff in the Bible, I'm glad I ditched religion. Religion is not the same as faith. I can say, I hate religion while I trust Jesus.
I believe God wouldn't be limited to a book.
I believe faith should feel good, NOT a prison.
I believe in something different than popular Christianity.
Many who claim Christianity, isnt my faith.
My own journey is a long story.
I remember hating Church from the start.
I hated wearing dresses. The horrible singing, the stand up, sit down, the boring speeches. The unpleasent clothes. Who wants to elect themselves a second set of rules, when I was struggling with the first set!
Also, my faith was killed when I was four, when a man "chosen by God" touched me in private places.
I'd physically cringe in back pain, everytime anyone mentioned faith of anykind, for almost 30 years since.
Topic: Faith
My faith came about when I chose it for myself.
Everytime someone else tried to force their faith into me, I was repelled away from it.
I believe you should choose your own.
Pagan, no faith, or something else... I believe that's up to you. Your an individual, your own separate entity. You will be doing something different than me, in your own shoes in your own life, you may need a faith different than my own.
I believe in the Bible as the True word of God.
Follow your own path.
I am very pleased to see how quickly things turned from "Yay, we cast the fuckers out!" to "Now let's get to WORK!"
The ballot box is where it starts, not where it ends!
We're not out of the woods yet,
but I feel we're closer to getting out of this place.
Topic: political opinions
I vaguely recall something about a policy that will not allow the prosecution of a sitting president...
How about someone change that after this fiasco... To where, if president breaks any constitutional law, then prosecute him.
There's laws to prevent a President from having this level of power over America, but nobody to enforce it?
God’s pronouns are they/them

I wish Trump would hire professionals, not his neighbor.
What a mess.
I gotta practice a lot, to think before I post. My whole life, since I was like, five... over 4 decades of skipping the thinking to make words come out "immediately".
Upbringing really does change a person.
:questionbox:
There's so much me-first competition and fixation on getting money, etc in tabletop (board+card) games. Are there are any antifascist, anticapitalist, prosocial/procommunity games for kids ages 5-10 that focus on cooperation etc?

Whatever plans the world's countries have made to pull their support for this country and independently build their own technological and economic infrastructures to replace the tentacles of control the u.s. has had across the globe, THAT NEEDS TO CONTINUE.
Do NOT trust this country. It put a fascist in charge twice and the second time came after a near coup attempt.
The united states does not deserve the world's trust, even IF everything goes blue by Wednesday.
Today feels like a very good day.
