@BulochkaSup Competition is really fierce but I'll throw my hat in.

Also wow I'm so glad to have found your page

[Ruumi 🍷 @MissWren3]

@MiiaTzu @KinaMagica They look into you and realized they'd lose more opportunities with their art on your page then getting 500$ from you.

I dunno, deal with it?

[Ruumi 🍷 @MissWren3]

@MiiaTzu This is the most entitled post ever.

It is not the artists job to serve you. They run a business. And bring associated with you is a bad business decision. You're not entitled to their art. They returned your money, and respectfully told you why. They did everything right

[Ruumi 🍷 @MissWren3]

@MiiaTzu This is a really bad argument.

Artists like vtubers, are business owners. Any art you post out them ties your name to them indefinitely. They won't that they're brand associated with you.

Because you're a bigot. I without wanna thru my career with you as a stain on it either

DND is such a bad game at this point that the only thing the system has rules for (ie combat) is no longer fun for so many people.

How long until we just play a different game?

[Luke Hart @TheDMLair]

The worst part of D&D combat is what I call the mop-up phase.

That's when everyone already knows the heroes have won, but you still spend 20 minutes chewing through the monsters' last few hit points.

STOP ROLLING DICE.

Instead, end the fight narratively, and let the players describe how they finish off the remaining enemies.

Faster combat. Better endings.

[Ruumi 🍷 @MissWren3]

@TheDMLair DND has so many fundamental issues with it's combat system that at this point the number of fixes you'd have to make via house rules to get it to function is probably enough that you should just play a different game.

@DaydreamingRtr @ezdrawps It's a Japanese phrase that refers to the way that sunlight filters through the leaves of trees. That kind of lighting effect

@shadmbrooks I'm guessing adding a take book and failing a bunch of prophecies counts as being more biblically accurate?

This reminds me of a fascinating story I read,of when in the 1970s Daniel Everett,a linguist and Christian went to the Amazon jungle to convert a tribe called the piraha people to Christianity and completely failed for one crazy reason 😂😂

When Daniel Everett arrived with his wife and kids at the remote Pirahã village in the Amazon, His mission was clear…learn their language,translate the New Testament,and convert this isolated hunter gatherer group to Christianity.

What he encountered instead was one of the most radical cultural and linguistic worldviews ever documented 😂.

From his experience,Everett eventually formalized what he called the “Immediacy of Experience Principle”. What this means in essence is the Pirahã culture and grammar strongly constrain what can be meaningfully discussed or believed…to them,knowledge must be anchored in direct,personal observation or at most in the recent testimony of living people you know.

Things that happened long ago,that no one alive has seen,or that exist only in abstract or supernatural realms fall into the category of what they called xibipío (“gone out of experience”). They don’t deny it outrightly.. to them, such things simply carry no weight and are not worth serious talk.

This principle shapes everything for them… and is why they have No creation myths or origin storis , No numbers beyond rough quantities like “a few” or “many.” , No recursive embedding in grammar (you can’t easily say “kelvin’s brother’s house” … you say two separate sentences). Their Stories and discourse stay tethered to the here and now.

Now Christian theology, by contrast, is built on precisely the kind of claims the Pirahã worldview filters out…A distant creation,Miracles and events from thousands of years ago, A savior no living person has met, Salvation and afterlife described in ancient texts.

Everett tried …He told them the story of Jesus..his birth,teachings,death,and resurrection. The Pirahã listened politely,then asked the questions their language and culture demanded…

“Have you met this man?”
“Did you see him?”
“Did your father see him?”

When Everett admitted he had not , that these events happened 2,000 years earlier and were known only through a book,the conversation effectively ended 😂.

“That’s interesting,” some of them would say, treating the Gospel the same way they treated any other distant tale…as something outside lived experience, therefore irrelevant to how they live and what they believe.

Notice It wasn’t hostile rejection(like the one you’d get from the people of the sentinel islands in India). It was epistemological incompatibility. The theology couldn’t even gain traction because their entire system of knowledge validation rejected second hand ancient testimony.

Everett kept trying for years. He failed to produce a usable Bible translation. Meanwhile, living among people who were profoundly content, generous, and empirically grounded …with no concept of sin, eternal punishment, or a distant deity.

By 1982 he himself started havinv serious doubts about his beliefs and by 1985 he had quietly become an atheist. The man who had come to convert the Pirahã had instead been “converted” by their way of seeing reality.😅

As Everett later wrote and said in interviews, the deepest challenge wasn’t an argument against Christianity. It was living inside a culture where the very criteria for what counts as real knowledge made supernatural historical claims feel as weightless as yesterday’s dream.

The Pirahã didn’t need to debate theology. Their language and worldview simply had no slot for it and, in the process, they helped a missionary lose his faith without ever raising their voices.😂

Makes you wonder, what would a Christian say the fate of these people is? Eternal torment? We can all see how that would be problematic.

Would they somehow make heaven and get judged by how they live their lives? But That would make the whole Christian message irrelevant. 🙂

@shadmbrooks @CurelessPine Canaan was Noah's grandchild, son of Ham. Noah isn't a descendant of Cain he's a descendant of Seth.

It becomes increasingly evident that Smith didn't even read the Bible that more you look into this faith.

[Ruumi 🍷 @MissWren3]

@shadmbrooks @CurelessPine The Book of Abraham is translated from a Funerary text Smith bought. It has nothing to do with what was on the Papyrus.

In that book dark skin is apparently a sign of being a Canaanite. But the curse came from Cain. The descendants of Cain are Cainites not Canaanites.
