Why are vegans?

Hey, i'm back. Covid sucked, but so far no one too close to me has died of the plague. Ended up back with the folks in orange county, which has been more than a little humbling. How's things?

remember to turn off the lights and leave the chairs on the tables when you go, Audience.

we really would

Do research however. After some PR campaigns, a lot of places bill themselves as Krav Maga but are not.

If it's not full contact, full resistance training, don't do it. Anything that offers full contact and full resistance will be better for teaching you to take and throw a punch than nothing at all, no matter what it's labelled.

Yeah Krav maga classes tend to range from, "WE ARE PREPARING FOR FULL GUERRILLA COMBAT" to "Hey, did you guys know you can kick a dude in the balls? Wild."

Yeah man, that must be heartbreaking.

Hey guys, I'm gonna be a dad.   

Congratulations Cram!

Recently found out Space Shanties are a thing, and they've become my new favorite form of filk music.

Hey, you must be new. Welcome to the forum, pools on the ceiling  yadda yadda etc.

Lately, I've been calling myself a Discordian witch, and now I just need to figure out what I mean by that. Or maybe I don't. I'll roll some dice over it.

I sometimes attend Unitarian Universalist services and may end up going to UU seminary. I spend a lot of time thinking about how my church office would be decorated.

I'm kinda in a similar boat rn. Spent some time playing with the idea of unironically having Eris as a patron deity, realized I'm not actually that insane just yet, and just studying things like chaos magick and hoodoo until I pin down what, if any, god I'd wanna work with.

Also a UU, because they fit my ideal of what a church that actually does good for the community looks like.

So I've been revisiting the idea of finding patron deities and I'm considering whether or not I could actually worship pop culture stuff that already resonates with me and that I already know with some degree of intimacy. The first step of this will probably be getting past the idea of becoming not only the kind of dweeb that collects figures and whatnot, but is comfortable displaying such things on an altar. Do I dare give on to the CRINGE?

I mean I'm not sure I see the call to anarchy in there, but yeah I can chop it down into something punchier. Thanks for the notes, you guys

Nobody want's to look at people fucking the moon.

I mean I didn't before, but now that its on the table.....

I agree with Dok for the most part, the tricky part is that some trolls like sealioning enough that they've gotten good at appearing to be the first type of person- engaged, ready to learn, looking for honest debate, but after those 2 minutes even if you recognize their shitneckery,  they may have already laid the groundwork to convince whoever else is on a given thread. All they want is an audience, after all. not saying one should give up on trying to educate anyone on anything ever, but this is a thing I've noticed.

I feel like being a little more specific might help.  This sort of reads as "life is fucked up, do something about it" which is the message of everyone from the Proud Boys to the DSA.

i could see that. i tried to evoke the more open ended nature of some of the Newer Discordian writings, but i think it comes off like I just don't know where to go from here. One call to action I had in mind was that we really need a viable 3rd  party in the US. Maybe this could advocate for a proper US labor Party.
